About us

Il Forno Bakery, formerly known as Ramon Eduardo Food Distribution, started as a dream, quite a small one, back in 1995. The company started with only 2 customers, Joe Allen & Orso Restaurant, who are still loyal customers today. The business was built with the help of only one driver. Slowly but persistently we began to spread samples through out the Tri-State area. By the end of 1999 we had approximately 250 customers.
In 2004, we found a prime location in the Industrial Market of Hunts Points in the Bronx. After some time smoothing out the quirks with the place we were ready to open up in April of 2005. The road to this success was a little bumpy because we did not have all the employees we needed. Since my children happened to be on spring break they got to experience the bakery in all of its glory first hand. This was probably the most rewarding moment of my life.
It is now 2009 and we have more customers than we have ever had before and are always looking for more. The yearn to grow never subsides, and neither will the quality, service or dependability from us to you. I owe this all to my mentor and role model, Joe Allen, who through his counseling and advice pushed me to make the business decisions that needed to be made, and the result of these sacrifices have made the difference.

Thank you
Ramon Eduardo, CEO
