Forme Fish Restaurant & Lounge Bar

Situated within the ancient stone walls of Formello, Forme Fish Restaurant & Lounge Bar bridges the gap between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Roman hinterland. The kitchen, led by Chef Chiara Sardella, prioritizes daily hauls from Anzio and Terracina, resulting in a menu defined by technical precision and saline intensity. A signature spaghettino arrives slicked with Cantabrian anchovy colatura and smoked herb butter, crowned by a velvety marinated egg yolk that provides a rich, golden contrast. Texture is explored through the octopus, which is rosticciato to a precise char and paired with the crunch of guanciale and a sharp pecorino cream. Aromas of Mediterranean scrub and iodine permeate the air, further enhanced by a mixology program that incorporates saline solutions into its cocktails. The experience concludes with a low-temperature poached pear, where the fragrance of sage meets the earthy depth of cocoa frolla.
