Crafting Elegance, One Bread at a Time

About Il Fornaio Ltd

The Home of Fine Italian Bread

We are passionate about creating the finest artisan bread on a large scale, inspired by the Italian traditional recipes of our heritage. We mostly supply the wholesale business as our production capacity allows us to supply.

Our bakery is located in the heart of London, where we use specially selected & fresh ingredients and time-honoured techniques to craft our production.

Our Story

Il Fornaio Bakery was founded in London by Sebastiano Varchione, a passionate baker with a lifelong love of bread. Growing up in Italy, he was exposed to the rich traditions of authentic Italian baking from a young age. After years of honing his skills in some of the top Italian restaurants and bakeries, Sebastiano decided to bring his expertise to London, where he could share his passion for artisan breads with the local community.
