What was the vision for this venue — what were you trying to achieve? Flinders Lane was designed as our flagship venue — a space that brings together modern Italian technology, craftsmanship, and theatre. The goal was not just to serve food, but to create an experience where cooking happens in front of the customer. Every element of the store is designed around this idea, from the coffee station to the pizza kitchen, allowing guests to see, feel, and engage with the process.. - Yuri, CEO How did a Marana oven fit into that vision from a design and menu perspective? The Marana oven fits seamlessly into both the design and operational vision of the venue. Suspended and visually striking, it becomes a centrepiece that combines Italian design with high efficiency. Aesthetically, it complements the venue perfectly, integrating with the all–Made in Italy materials used throughout the space. From a menu perspective, it allows us to deliver consistently high-quality products at scale. The oven keeps pace with service while maintaining performance. The ability to work with both gas and wood gives us flexibility, control, and flavour, supporting both the theatrical aspect of live cooking and the demands of a high-volume flagship store. - Yuri, CEO Describe the performance of the oven and how it has impacted business operations? The performance has been excellent. We’ve been able to reduce operational costs, expand and experiment with different product types, and streamline our workflow. The staff find the oven easy to operate, and it reaches the desired temperature quickly, which keeps production fast and consistent. Overall, it allows our operations to run smoothly and efficiently, without any inconvenience. - Daniela, Savoury Sous Chef What has been your experience with Marana Australia’s customer service? It has been great — we’ve never experienced any issues, and the team is always quick to respond whenever support is needed. Their service is reliable, efficient, and consistently helpful. - Daniela, Savoury Sous Chef

Designed by Technē Architecture + Interior Design, the 850-square-metre emporium invites guests to engage with the preparation process, from the central coffee bar to the open pizza kitchen. Suspended dramatically within the space, the Marana Forni oven forms a striking centrepiece - placing authentic Italian cooking on show and transforming it into part of the dining experience. A true celebration of Italian design, materiality and food culture in the heart of Melbourne.

Weighing 2,500 kg yet appearing to float within the space, the Marana GEA creates a striking optical illusion. Its distinctive iron-and-steel finish draws inspiration from the industrial foundries of the early 20th century. Suspended from the ceiling or supported by a freestanding arm, the GEA features a 150 cm cooking deck designed for exceptional production capacity.

“Corrado and the team have been supplying the pizza ovens for our restaurants, 400 Gradi, since 2016. When purchasing our first Marana Forni Oven I was looking for consistency and a quality-built oven. With over 20 Marana Forni ovens purchased to date in Australia and abroad I have not been disappointed yet, the quality and consistency of the Marana oven cannot be rivalled. Not only is the product top quality, the service and customer care are next to none. Corrado and the team are always responsive and willing to support our team with any questions or queries we have.”
