Forte Restaurant is destined to become a new classic in Chicago’s culinary scene. Designed in partnership with Levy, the new restaurant takes the stage at Chicago’s Symphony Center, complementing the concert experience with new dining options, elevated private events, and updated concert bars that expertly pair with the iconic Chicago Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Forte\u2019s menu features contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Fresh, lively flavors are whipped into mezze-style starters and pastas, while a hearth oven cooks up dishes like focaccia with roasted fig and gorgonzola, and braised lamb shank topped with gremolata. A selection of global wines is curated by James Beard-nominated Sommelier and Levy Beverage Director Rachael Lowe. Forte will also offer classic cocktails, draft beer, locally roasted Metric coffee, and locally made Paulo gelato in a space that\u2019s recently refreshed to pair with the historic building.<\/p>\n
