The journey began in 1994 at Il Forno in the Himalayas, where a handmade wood-fired oven stood at the center of the Cappiotti family’s vision. Inspired by its authenticity and performance, Marco Cappiotti relocated to Delhi in 2010 to design and build ovens that would help elevate Italian pizza culture in India.
Starting with outsourced metalwork and on-site finishing, Marco Cappiotti built his reputation one oven at a time. Il Forno by Marco has since become synonymous with quality, producing bespoke wood-fired, residential, and heritage brick ovens that transform kitchens across India.
From Himalayan roots to becoming one of Asia’s leading oven makers, Marco Cappiotti’s passion for authentic pizza sparked a culinary transformation and built a trusted pizza oven brand.
When Marco’s father opened Il Forno in the Himalayas, a foundation was laid. Marco developed as a pizza maker, constructed his own oven, and soon began receiving increasing attention and enquiries for his work.
Marco moved to India’s capital to pursue oven building full time. What began as an individual, soon grew into a structured company built on quality and precision.
Building his own factory allowed Marco to scale production, refine craftsmanship, and extend his reach beyond India through steady international exports.
Following disputes and imitation issues, Il Forno was rebranded as Marco Cappiotti, securing a clearer, stronger identity.
Marco Cappiotti’s mastery goes far beyond craftsmanship alone. As a designer, builder, and chef, he fuses Italian tradition with Himalayan influence. His ovens are trusted by discerning chefs and restaurateurs, securing his place in the culinary landscape.
