Egidio Franciosa - Il Forno Nashville - Headshot Circle & Shadow - 1080x512

Egidio "Egi" Franciosa

Owner & Chef
Egi was raised in Mondragone, thirty minutes from Naples, Italy- the birthplace of pizza. Egi's love of food began in "la cucina della nonna" his grandmother's kitchen, where delicious Italian meals were cooked from scratch. In 2010, Egi moved to California and found his first culinary mentor in chef Saverio Posarelli who encouraged him to refine his natural talent for Neapolitan style pizza. Destiny pushed Egi to the highly esteemed Cecconi's in West Hollywood which offered the opportunity to perfect his acclaimed pizza dough and rising technique. Opportunity knocked again in 2014 when Egi was recruited by chef Paolo Tramonto at Bella Napoli in the one and only Music City. Il Forno was born out of Egi's dream of sharing Italy's most famous "street food" with the people of Nashville.

Jannah Franciosa

Owner & Manager
Nomad at heart, Jannah settled near Lake Como as a young adult and discovered the beauty of seasonal Italian cuisine. Her passion for fresh, authentic Italian food fuels her labor of love and co-creation, Il Forno. A native of Southern California, Jannah eventually returned to the United States with her husband, Egi, after ten years as an American Expatriate in Europe. Her experience in Italy infuses every choice Il Forno takes- from menu selection, commitment to high quality, fresh ingredients to design elements. Ultimately, Jannah hopes to offer Il Forno's customers a culinary journey from Naples to Nashville without the jet lag! Buon Appetito!
Momo The Oven - Il Forno Nashville - Headshot Circle & Shadow - 1080x512

Momo The Oven

Egi and Jannah spent countless hours researching wood-burning ovens. When they came across Forno Piombo, it was love at first sight. Named after the Franciosa Family's moniker- Momo- the oven, hand built by the Piombo family in Napa Valley, weighs just over 3,000 pounds and can reach upwards of 900 degrees. Fueled by local Tennessee Oak, Momo cooks each delicious pizza in less than two minutes.
