Wood-Fired Italian · Savannah, GA
Crafted with fire.
Served with purpose.
FORNELLO is a wood-fired Italian kitchen on Bull Street — an open hearth, a short list of ingredients, and the patience to let both do the work.
Our Story
An open hearth, an honest table.
FORNELLO began with a single wood-fired oven and a belief that Italian cooking doesn't need much dressing up — just good heat, good ingredients, and someone who cares about both. Every dish that leaves our kitchen touches the fire at some point along the way.

Sourced weekly from Georgia farms and a handful of Italian mills we've bought from since we opened.
Seasonal Menus
The hearth decides more than we do — the menu turns with what's ready to be cooked over fire.
Timeless Hospitality
Warm, attentive service in a room built to feel like someone's table, not a stage.
Memorable Evenings
From a quiet dinner for two to a table of twelve, every service is built around the people at it.
“The best ingredient is always authenticity.”
— Chef Matteo Bruno
