If you love to cook, enjoy the outdoors, and want to entertain, then the amount of use you will get out of an outdoor kitchen will absolutely be worth the investment. The ability to have everything in one place, rather than running back and forth into the house, is a total game-changer. It allows you to craft memorable culinary experiences where every meal becomes a celebration and every gathering creates lasting memories in the Italian tradition of convivialità.

The best layout for an outdoor kitchen depends on the space you have. If your space is limited, it's important to determine which aspects of the kitchen are most important to you and build from there. It helps to have some counter space beside your large appliances to allow for food prep. By utilizing our customization features, you can view different kitchen setups right in your backyard! The possibilities are endless.

Fontana outdoor modular kitchens are made of galvannealed steel. This material offers the strength of carbon steel with the added corrosion resistance of a zinc coating that’s heat-treated to bond permanently with the surface. This process creates a durable, paint-ready finish that’s ideal for outdoor environments.

Every detail reflects the difference between manufactured products and handcrafted Italian artistry—where pride in workmanship creates outdoor kitchens worthy of the Fontana legacy.
