Explore the Forno Kitchen Range Lineup: Series, Sizes and Fuel Types

Updated October 2026

Forno makes pro-style kitchen ranges in gas, dual fuel, electric and induction, in widths from 20 to 60 inches. The two core lines are the Galiano, Forno's value workhorse, and the Capriasca, its higher-output line with a 20,000 BTU dual-ring burner in every position. Around them sit the Massimo, the air-fryer-equipped Lazio, compact and mid-range models, induction ranges and designer finishes such as Espresso.

Forno is an independent Canadian company headquartered in Montreal. Its ranges are built in Forno's partner factories in Asia and carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Here's how the lineup breaks down so you can find the right range for your kitchen.

Galiano vs. Capriasca: Forno's two core lines

Most Forno shoppers end up choosing between these two lines. Both come in gas and dual fuel from 30 to 60 inches, with sealed burners, continuous cast-iron grates, convection ovens and an LP conversion kit on gas models. The differences come down to burner power, oven details and finish.

Burner output

The Capriasca's biggest advantage is heat. Every burner is a 20,000 BTU dual-ring brass burner that can also simmer at 1,000 BTU, while the Galiano uses a 20,000 BTU dual-ring power burner alongside lower-output burners. Here's total cooktop output for the gas models:

More BTUs mean faster boils and harder sears, but they also mean more ventilation. A common rule of thumb is about 100 CFM of hood power per 10,000 BTU, so a 36-inch Galiano (83,000 BTU) points to roughly 830 CFM, while a 36-inch Capriasca (120,000 BTU) points to roughly 1,200 CFM. Above about 400 CFM, many local codes require make-up air, so check with your installer. Our guide to range hood CFM ratings explains the math, and you can shop matching Forno range hoods.

Oven and design details

• Oven interior: Capriasca ovens have a blue enamel interior; Galiano ovens use black enamel. Both are manual-clean, as is typical of pro-style ranges.
• Racks: Capriasca models include telescopic racks that glide out on rails; Galiano models use standard electroplated racks.
• Controls: Capriasca knobs are illuminated, so you can see at a glance which burners are on.
• Finishes: both come in stainless steel with French-door oven options. Select Galiano models are available with a blue door or in black with antique brass, and select Capriasca models with a black door or in black with antique brass.

Which should you choose?

Choose the Galiano if you want the pro-style look and solid everyday performance at the lowest price, or if a more modest hood fits your space better. Choose the Capriasca if you cook at high heat often (wok cooking, searing, big stockpots) and want full power at every burner. Compare the specs on the 36-inch Galiano gas range and the 36-inch Capriasca gas range.

The Lazio, Massimo and other Forno lines

Lazio: a 30-inch range with built-in extras

The Forno Lazio packs a lot into a standard 30-inch width: five sealed burners totaling about 70,000 BTU, a 4.32 cu. ft. convection oven, and an air fryer rack and basket, reversible griddle and wok ring. It comes in all-gas and dual fuel versions.

Massimo: extras included, with French-door options

The Massimo line spans gas and dual fuel ranges from 30 to 60 inches, plus 30- and 36-inch electric models. Gas models come with an air fryer kit, wok support and reversible griddle. Several Massimo ranges are available with a French-door oven, which uses two narrower doors instead of one wide drop-down door and can be easier to reach in tight kitchens.

Marco, Giovanni and Paolo

Marco and Giovanni are straightforward gas ranges (Marco also comes in dual fuel) with a built-in oven temperature gauge, which is handy if you like to see oven temperature at a glance. Giovanni adds an air fryer kit, griddle and wok ring. Paolo is an all-electric line in 30, 36 and 48 inches with a radiant glass cooktop, true convection and a hidden bake element for easier cleanup.

Compact Forno ranges for small kitchens

If you're fitting out an apartment, ADU or cabin kitchen, Forno's compact ranges come in 20 inches (Lamazze gas, Pallerano electric) and 24 inches (Breno gas, Loiano electric).

Forno induction ranges

Forno's induction lineup includes the Torino (30 and 36 inches, standard or French-door oven) and the Maximus (30 and 36 inches), both with air fry and air sous vide modes, plus the 30-inch Espresso Donatello and Leonardo Espresso models. Induction heats the pan directly through a magnetic field, so it boils fast and the glass top is easy to wipe clean; you'll need magnetic, induction-compatible cookware. Learn more in our induction range guide or shop Forno induction ranges.

Designer finishes: Espresso, Antico and Ambassador

The Forno Espresso series puts ranges in matte black or white with antique-brass handles and trim. The specs match the stainless versions, so the choice is all about the look, and some Espresso induction models, like the Donatello, include interchangeable brass and stainless handles and knobs. The Antico (black or white with antique brass) and Ambassador (black or white with copper rivet trim) are 36- and 48-inch gas and dual fuel ranges with an old-world look. Browse the Espresso series and the Antico series.

Gas, dual fuel, electric or induction?

• Gas ranges use gas for both the cooktop and the oven. Forno gas ranges ship set up for natural gas with an LP/propane conversion kit included; have a qualified technician do any conversion.
• Dual fuel ranges pair a gas cooktop with a 240V electric convection oven, a combination many bakers prefer for steady, even oven heat. You'll need both a gas line and a 240V circuit.
• Electric ranges use radiant elements under a glass top and need only a 240V circuit, a good choice where gas isn't available.
• Induction ranges offer fast, precise electric cooking, and the cooktop around the pan stays cooler than on gas or radiant electric.

Choosing a size

• 20 and 24 inches: compact kitchens, apartments and secondary kitchens.
• 30 inches: fits the standard range cutout in most kitchens.
• 36 inches: adds a sixth burner and a larger oven (5.36 cu. ft. on many models) for frequent cooks.
• 48 inches: eight burners and, on many models, a second oven and a griddle, great for large households and entertaining.
• 60 inches: ten burners and the most oven space for the biggest kitchens.

Measure your cutout, check side and rear clearances in the installation guide, and plan a hood at least as wide as the range. One size up helps, especially on islands.
