Firehouse Restaurant

"The exposed brick walls and hardwood floors of this Woodlawn restaurant’s private dining room make for a homey but still elegant setting, complementing dinners of pizza and fresh pasta. The room seats 40, with meals starting at $30 per person for a buffet-style event. Menu highlights include whole roasted trout with salsa verde, coal-roasted rib-eyes, and Bolognese. Learn more on the restaurant’s website." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"In case pizza had you thinking of slices and casual vibes, let’s set the record straight. We think it’s safe to say that Firehouse is one of — if not the only — fine dining establishment in Woodlawn. Housed in a historically rich building (yes, an old firehouse), it is a restaurant with an air of class and menu rich with southern Italian fare. It’s the perfect place for date night, good conversation, or just a dependably quality meal." - Matthew Anderson

"This beautiful Woodlawn restaurant sets a romantic scene indoors, sporting charming brick walls and wood-fired oven that make for an exceedingly cozy urban wedding. Guests can snack on pizzettes, burrata, roasted vegetables, and handcrafted pastas, with desserts like tiramisu for those skipping the tiered wedding cake. The restaurant is home to a second-floor private room that can accommodate 60 standing, but couples can also buy out the full restaurant for larger celebrations of up to 150 guests, including the patio. Those interested can also just rent out the string-light-lit patio, which seats 40 comfortably; for summer weddings, this is the ideal spot for a ceremony." - Jenni Moore, Eater Staff
