Il fornaio

Il Fornaio's philosophy is simple- we're a young hospitality group that wants to bring wholesome and nutrient dense food to the neighbourhood.

Community is a priority to us, so we source our produce from local Victorian farmers to support the families behind the labels. As part of an active and purposeful movement away from dairy and meat-heavy diets, Il Fornaio is forging a new path for the cafe evolution in Melbourne. Bread and pastries have been mastered using traditional French techniques with only plant based ingredients.

For us it's not just about eating less animal products, but also making more mindful food choices in general. The role of a chef and a restaurant is to not just feed, but to nourish. We hope you feel the good vibes in our food.
