Founder’s Message

The Heart Behind Il Forno

Ciao! I'm Giovanni Foca, and Il Forno di Gio is more than just a brand to me—it’s a piece of my heart, shaped by years of tradition, family recipes, and a deep love for honest Italian food. Every loaf of bread, every jar of tomato pulp, every slice of pizza you taste comes from that passion.

When I moved to the Philippines, I brought with me not just flavors, but a way of life—one that values quality, simplicity, and the joy of sharing good food. My mission is to give you a true taste of Italy, made with care and crafted by hand, just like we do back home.

Thanks for being part of this journey. From my kitchen to yours—buon appetito!
