Fornello opens unique Brazilian Italian restaurant in Coconut Creek

Under the bright lights of Coconut Creek, excitement buzzed in the air as community members gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Fornello, a unique Italian-Brazilian fusion restaurant. Located at the bustling intersection of Lyons Road and Winston Park Boulevard, this new establishment promises to enhance the local dining scene with its diverse menu and vibrant atmosphere.

Marcel, the owner and chef, proudly shared that this is his second restaurant, following a successful six-year run in Boca Raton. Fornello stands out with its innovative blend of Italian and Brazilian cuisines, offering dishes that cater to a variety of tastes. Among the highlights are the classic chicken parmesan, featuring homemade tomato sauce, and the Brazilian specialty, moqueca capixaba, a flavorful fish stew made with grouper.

Guests at the opening were treated to a taste of Fornello's offerings, including a delightful dessert pizza and a Brazilian delicacy known as pucina, a breaded chicken dish with a cheesy center. Marcel emphasized the restaurant's commitment to quality, stating that all ingredients are fresh and homemade, from the marinara sauce to the hot sauce.

The atmosphere at Fornello is set to be lively, with plans for karaoke nights that invite patrons to enjoy good food and entertainment. As the community celebrates this new addition, the hope is that Fornello will become a beloved spot for both locals and visitors, enriching Coconut Creek's culinary landscape.
