Permits have been approved for the remodel of a unit in the 'ACME' shopping center in Washington Township, where the new Forno E Vino restaurant will be opening. The restaurant will focus on Italian cuisine, featuring smaller plates, pizza, and full entrees, with a curated selection of wine from smaller local and international vintners.
Why it matters
The opening of Forno E Vino marks new ownership for the Washington Township restaurant space, which was previously home to the Bistro di Marino location. The new restaurant aims to bring a fresh Italian dining experience to the area, emphasizing locally sourced ingredients and a wine-focused menu.
The details
Forno E Vino will be located within the Washington Center Shoppes on Egg Harbor Road at the corner of Greentree Road, in the space previously occupied by Bistro di Marino's Washington Township location. The new owners have obtained the liquor license for the space and are completing a significant interior remodel, including modifying a metal interior wall into a half wall, finishing a metal soffit with sheetrock, and constructing a bar covered in stone. The menu will feature five sections: Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, Pizza, and Gnocchi, with a focus on wood-fired pizzas and homemade gnocchi.
- Last summer, the owner briefly spoke with the local news outlet about taking over the liquor license and completing a significant interior remodel.
- A few months ago, demolition work began inside the unit.
- The construction permit was recently issued, allowing the full build-out to move forward.
