This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Formento's is a West Loop Italian room whose wood-fired steak section lists two Wagyu cuts alongside its Black Angus: a 5oz Kuro Wagyu filet at 69 and a 5oz Margaret River Wagyu strip at 65. The menu names no grade, no farm and no marbling score for either steak, so the beef's provenance is only partly disclosed. Margaret River points to Western Australia; the Kuro line is not explained anywhere on the site. Ask the kitchen for the producer or the marbling score if that matters to your order.

Common questions
- Does Formento's serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Formento's serve?
- Its menu discloses Margaret River and Kuro. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Formento's listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
