Ilforno was founded by Joseph Suceveanu in 1985. Our chef Domenico Salvatore has also been a part of Il Forno since the same year. Sorin Costache, Il Forno's Manager joined the Il Forno family seven years later.

In addition to Santa Monica, Il Forno can also be found in three different locations in Japan: two in Tokyo, and one in Fukuoka.
