A Tale Of Tradition,
Innovation, And
Community
Welcome to IL Lago Pizzeria, founded in 2015 by Ren and Ryan on Mount Warrigal. More than a restaurant, it’s a place where Italian culinary traditions and communal dining thrive in Australia. Driven by their European travels, the founders created a space to enjoy authentic, handcrafted pizzas with a unique Australian twist.
Through expansions from 2017 to 2020, IL Lago has welcomed more into our community, upholding our commitment to authenticity and fellowship. We invite you to join us at IL Lago Pizzeria, where every meal is a celebration of shared traditions and flavors.
With a Vision to infuse Italian culture into every meal, IL Lago became more than a restaurant; it became a symbol of cultural celebration. They wanted to remind every guest of a simple, timeless truth: no matter where life takes you, the warmth of an Italian kitchen is just around the corner.
Beyond the Horizon, Ren and Ryan’s aspirations were not confined to the confines of dining spaces. In 2023, they transformed IL Lago into a household name, delivering artisanal packaged foods to local supermarkets and crafting a line of exquisite wines in partnership with a renowned winery. They believed that every home could have a touch of IL Lago magic.
The Journey Ahead is paved with dreams of bringing IL Lago’s Italian essence to the global stage, intertwining the brand with narratives of adventure, family, and culinary artistry. Ren and Ryan see IL Lago as a beacon of Italian tradition, celebrating every milestone as a step towards a future where the world is a little more connected, one plate at a time.
