Photography project by A Dopo Agency

Follia is a modern Italian restaurant in Lake Forest, serving handmade pasta and seasonal dishes in an elegant, upscale setting. Owner and chef Bruno Abate first opened Follia in Chicago's Meatpacking District, pairing authentic Italian cooking with a flair for modern design. He went on to launch Tocco in Winnetka, and has now brought the Follia name to Lake Forest, with the goal of offering diners an experience that feels like a trip straight to Italy.

Meridian project hero

A restaurant built on both food and design needs imagery that captures both. We photographed Follia to showcase what sets it apart: the handmade pastas and seasonal plates, the sophisticated dining room, and the atmosphere that makes it a go-to for date nights and special occasions. Every shot was planned to convey the balance of refinement and warmth guests experience the moment they walk in.

Follia now has a library of professional photography ready for its website, social media, reservation listings and print, giving the restaurant a polished visual identity that matches the experience at the table. For a newer addition to Lake Forest's dining scene, the right images help introduce Follia to the community and give first-time guests a reason to book.
