Forno Santo, a new Italian restaurant in Tulsa's Santa Fe Square, is making waves with its modern take on traditional cuisine. The restaurant's centerpiece is a hand-tiled Marra Forni pizza oven imported from Italy, capable of reaching temperatures over 700 degrees. This allows for quick cooking of Neapolitan-style pizzas, with popular options including the mortadella pizza and mushroom pizza with locally sourced wild mushrooms. But Forno Santo's menu goes beyond pizza, offering a range of Italian favorites with modern twists. Appetizers feature whipped ricotta, prosciutto and melon, and sausage with polenta, while lunch options include sandwiches like the mortadella sandwich and Italian sub. For dinner, guests can indulge in chicken parmesan, bolognese, lasagna, and spaghetti and meatballs made with wagyu beef. One unique feature is the lasagna, served as layered sheets rather than traditional casserole cuts. The restaurant's design is equally impressive, featuring red leather booths, detailed tile work, and a prominent central bar. Forno Santo offers multiple service styles, including full-service dining and a counter for quicker lunch options. The restaurant is open seven days a week and serves as a gathering place for visitors to Santa Fe Square, including the weekly Midweek Market. Located at 503 E 2nd St S, Tulsa, OK 74120, Forno Santo is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience modern Italian dining in Tulsa.
