Located on the ground floor of The Emily Hotel in Chicago’s Fulton Market, Fora is a chef-driven neighborhood restaurant and patio offering globally influenced cuisine through the lens of Executive Chef Marcello Florio. Drawing from his Italian roots and more than 35 years of international experience, Chef Florio brings together Mediterranean sensibility and New American perspective with classical technique and a deep respect for seasonal ingredients.
Fora’s menus evolve with intention — from vibrant, approachable lunches to a more refined and ingredient-driven dinner experience designed for sharing and lingering. Housemade pastas, seasonal risottos, and thoughtfully composed plates reflect a balance of comfort and creativity, tradition and innovation. The result is a warm yet elevated dining destination rooted in hospitality, craftsmanship, and bold, flavor-forward cooking.
