We are Gary and Patty Salerno, owners of
It was Gary’s vision that created the restaurant, which is rooted in his love of cooking that comes from his strong Italian roots and the many, many dishes created by his Grandmother Marie.
Gary fondly remembers Sundays at Grandma’s when the family gathered around and dined on wonderful, warm, flavorful Italian dishes that Marie created with love…
Which is what made everything so good!
While not the cook of the family, Patty always had a love for baking (and a terrible sweet tooth), so making desserts for the restaurant is her specialty.
Our Head Chef, Stephen Crawford and his wife Julie are family, dear friends and great partners.
Stephen’s extensive experience as a Chef and Julie’s significant restaurant background make FORNO ITALIANO the restaurant Gary envisioned.
We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy what we’ve created!
