Who makes it, and what to know
ILVE was founded in 1969 in Campodarsego, near Padua, Italy, and says each range is built to order and assembled by hand there. ILVE USA is in Brooklyn, New York. The Nostalgie II comes in 30, 36, 40, 48 and 60 in. widths; ILVE's US site lists the 30 in. at $6,715 and sends orders to its sales team. The dual-fuel version needs a 240-volt circuit (15.4 amps on the 30 in.); a gas conversion kit is included.
Each color link was opened and checked by a person. If one goes stale, tell us and it comes down.
Where a link earns us a commission, your price does not change. Where it earns nothing, the page says so.
