Our Story

A uniquely American dining experience

At City Fire American Oven & Bar, the hearth is the heart of everything. Our open ovens turn out blistered stone flats and slow-roasted entrées, while our bar pours craft cocktails and pours late into the night. With two welcoming rooms in The Villages and entertainment seven nights a week, we set a table where neighbors become regulars.

What our guests say after a night by the fire.

"The stone flats come out of that oven blistered and perfect. City Fire has become our standing Friday-night reservation."

Barbara & Jim

The Villages, FL

"Short rib pot roast that falls apart, a cabernet gravy worth the drive, and a bar team that remembers your drink. Simply excellent."

Michael R.

"We host our club dinners here — the private space is gorgeous and the staff makes every occasion feel effortless."

Susan D.

Lake Sumter Landing

"Beautiful room, warm lighting and a duck that rivals restaurants twice the price. This is our go-to for celebrations."

Frank & Eleanor

Brownwood
