About ILVE: Italian Luxury with an Antique Style

Updated October 2026

If you are looking for authentic Italian luxury and craftsmanship, you should look no further than ILVE’s high-end selection of fine ranges and range hoods. With a variety of freestanding and built-in ovens, hundreds of color and trim combinations, and range widths from 30 to 60 inches, ILVE has something for everyone.

What Makes ILVE Ovens Special?

Founded in 1969 in Campodarsego, near Padua in northeastern Italy, ILVE has been building cooking appliances for more than 55 years and adds real character to your kitchen.

That same year, ILVE introduced an oversized built-in oven. A few years later it launched the Panoramagic range cooker, a design still in the lineup today. Its restyled version won a Good Design Award in 2017.

ILVE focuses on handmade, professional-style ranges. ILVE says its appliances are made individually to each customer's specifications and assembled by hand, using materials found in professional kitchens: AISI 304 stainless steel, cast iron, brass and copper. When you purchase an ILVE range, you’re buying an appliance built from durable, rust-resistant stainless steel.

Features of ILVE Ovens

Some of the features that make ILVE ranges stand out include:

• A Quick Start function that preheats the oven to your set temperature in a short time
• Electronic temperature control for accurate oven temperatures
• Knobs and handles with metallic finishes, including oversized aluminum Milano knobs on the Professional Plus II
• A “cold door” with three layers of glass, which you can take out for easier cleaning
• Easy-clean enamel oven interiors

ILVE ovens offer a long list of cooking functions: nine on Nostalgie II and Professional Plus II ovens, and up to sixteen on Majestic. They include Pizza, Quick Start, multiple fan cooking, fan grill, grill with the door closed, cooking from above or below, and static cooking.

ILVE ovens use tangential cooling ventilation, and the triple-glass door stays cooler to the touch, which makes the range safer to use.

What Are the Different Styles of Ranges ILVE Makes?

ILVE’s current range lineup has four families: the Nostalgie II, Professional Plus II, Panoramagic and Majestic. We carry the current Majestic generation as the Majestic III series.

The Professional Plus II and Nostalgie II are similarly built, with the same high-end finishing and dual gas burners of up to 25,000 BTU. Both come with a gas cooktop and electric oven (dual fuel) or with an induction cooktop. The Nostalgie II boasts retro styling for enthusiasts who want modern appliances with a nostalgic design, while the Professional Plus II has a clean, commercial-kitchen look.

The Panoramagic is ILVE’s modern design, with a tilted control panel, a 4.3-inch touch display and a cooking probe. The Majestic is ILVE’s most ornate series, with rounded shapes and touch-control ovens that reach up to 575°F (you can review a complete comparison of the various models here).

Fuel Types

ILVE ranges come with either a gas cooktop paired with an electric oven (dual fuel) or an induction cooktop with an electric oven. Gas models are available for natural gas or liquid propane (LP).

Sizes

The Nostalgie II, Professional Plus II and Majestic come in 30, 36, 40, 48 and 60-inch widths. The Panoramagic comes in 36 and 48 inches.

Brass Burners

On gas models, ILVE burners use brass flame spreaders with a non-stick nanotechnological treatment. On the Nostalgie II and Professional Plus II, ILVE calls this black finish Total Black.

Color, Trims & Finish Options

The Nostalgie II and Majestic come in nine standard colors, and ILVE offers 216 more custom RAL colors, which gives the buyer hundreds of possible color and trim combinations. Because ILVE builds each range to order, your range is made according to your taste and preferences.

The Nostalgie II series offers a modern take on country-style ranges, with trim in brass, chrome, copper or burnished bronze. The Majestic III ranges we carry come with brass, chrome, copper or burnished trim.

Standard colors for the Nostalgie II and the Majestic are White, Antique White, Glossy Black, Graphite Matte, Blue, Blue Grey, Burgundy Red, Emerald Green and Stainless Steel. The Professional Plus II is available in White, Stainless Steel, Glossy Black, Graphite Matte or Blue Grey, plus custom RAL colors. The Panoramagic comes in stainless steel or matte black.

How Much Do ILVE Ovens Cost?

ILVE ovens are carefully and extravagantly built, which means they are not the cheapest on the market. ILVE ranges sit in the luxury price tier, and the final price depends on the series, width, cooktop layout, color and trim. In return, you get a hand-assembled range that will be a striking statement piece in your kitchen.

You can shop ILVE ranges and range hoods on Home Outlet Direct and check current pricing right on the site. We are an authorized ILVE dealer, so your range ships new with ILVE’s two-year limited warranty, which covers parts and labor for residential use. You can also add a CPS extended protection plan at checkout or pay over time with financing. Because ILVE builds to order, ask our team about lead times for the color and trim you want.

Conclusion

If you are passionate about design and cooking, the ILVE oven is a great choice. They offer prestige pieces with practical and varied cooking functions, and which are easy to maintain. If you are looking for extra detail and the quality that comes from appliances carefully assembled by hand, ILVE is the brand for you.
