Outdoor kitchensin marble and stone

CALACATTA GOLD · SOLID MARBLE · BESPOKE

Michelessi SRL designs and builds outdoor kitchens in marble, granite, quartzite, sintered stone and stainless steel in its own workshop in Aprilia (Latina), near Rome, Italy, since 1976. Models with barbecue, sink, wood-fired or gas oven, custom made for gardens, terraces and poolsides. Free site survey and quote in Rome, Latina and all of Lazio; installation across Italy and shipping worldwide.

Elegant, enduring surfaces, made for open-air living untroubled by water or wind. Designed and made to measure in our Aprilia workshop, in the finest Italian tradition.

The block above the sea — a Michelessi vision

From the block,
the fire

01 A block of Calacatta Oro on the basalt terrace, sheer above the sea, under the brass lamp: twilight holds the sky between orange and blue.

02 The shadows of the stonemasons move against the light: the crack runs through the stone, the rough skin falls away, marble dust flies in the sea wind.

03 Out of the block came the long island: the fire channel opens in the top and the flame takes, the sink and the brass tap are in place. The shadows leave, the kitchen stays lit.

Outdoor kitchens

The kitchen steps outside
and makes the garden its home

There are evenings when the house is no longer enough: the table longs for open sky, for the scent of embers, for the long light of sunset. Michelessi outdoor kitchens are born for exactly this — surfaces of rare elegance and resistance, conceived for outdoor living, untroubled by water or wind. We have been working marble in Aprilia since 1976: the same Italian artisan hand that selects and hones the slabs now shapes kitchens that live in the garden, on the terrace, at the pool's edge.

Everything is made to drawing and to measure: if you have images or plans to show us, we can recreate exactly what you need. You choose the materials with us — marble, granite, quartzite, sintered stone, porcelain stoneware, stainless steel, treated wood — with fine marble finishes that carry the nobility of natural stone into the open air. And the project can embrace everything conviviality calls for: a barbecue, available in a range of models, as well as a sink, a fryer, burners, an electric or wood-fired oven.

On request we prepare a 3D drawing, so you can admire the finished result set within your own surroundings before a single stone is cut. Give your imagination free rein and let our specialists advise you: we build bespoke kitchens for every budget, with the care of Italian craftsmanship and an installation scheduled around your time. Below you will find ten visions from our drawing board — the kitchens we imagine for you, before they yet exist — and, further down, the complete archive of the collection, with all our completed works.

Vision 01 — Nero Marquina

The Black Stonethat Defies the Horizon

NERO MARQUINA · COPPER BRAZIER · BRASS INLAY

A blade of Nero Marquina reaches past the cliff edge and hangs suspended above the sea as the sun slips below the horizon. At the centre of the worktop, a copper brazier burns within the stone like a lit heart; a thread of brass runs along the flank, stitching the marble to the departing light.

This is a vision from our drawing board: the kitchen distilled to its essential gesture — stone, fire, and the void all around. A project we tailor to your own landscape, with the marble craftsmanship we have practised in Aprilia since 1976. Tell us about your clifftop: we shall attend to the rest.

Vision 02 — Travertine

Travertine by Firelight,the Night of the Pergola

ROMAN TRAVERTINE · CHARRED TIMBER · WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE

Beneath a pergola of charred beams, black as the night around them, the great Roman travertine island gathers all the light of the fire. Flames dance within their carved stone surround, a brass rail runs the length of the worktop like a single gilded line, and the material — warm, porous, Roman — plays counterpoint to the burnt timber.

This project springs from a simple idea: to set side by side two ways of crossing time — travertine, which accumulates it, and charred wood, which recounts it. It is a vision we can adapt to your own garden, with the fireplace, barbecue or wood-fired oven you prefer: every element is drawn together, made to measure.

Vision 03 — The Monolith

A Monolithin the Wild

TRAVERTINE · SATIN BRASS · MOONLIGHT

The moon climbs above the hills and finds, amid the Mediterranean scrub, a block of travertine laid down like an offering. Nothing more: a sink hollowed from the mass, a satin brass tap catching the faintest gleam, rosemary bushes all around and a gravel path holding the last of the light.

It is the most radical of our visions: the kitchen reduced to a single block of stone, carved to stand in the open air as an element of the landscape itself. A project for those who long for the pure gesture — water running over marble, beneath the sky. We make it in the stone you choose with us, to the exact measure of your corner of the earth.

Vision 04 — Lava Stone

The Rough Rock,the Mirror of Embers

SPLIT-FACE LAVA STONE · ABSOLUTE BLACK GRANITE · LIVE CHARCOAL

The flank is living rock, left split-faced as the quarry intended; the top is absolute black granite, polished until it becomes a mirror. Between them the embers breathe in their steel bed, sending up a thread of smoke: the glow of live charcoal plays across the honed stone until the surface itself seems to burn.

In this vision we place the same material before its double: raw and polished, mountain and mirror. It is precisely the kind of contrast our workshop knows how to build — the split calibrated blow by blow, the polish carried to its depths — and one we can shape for your own garden, with the grill, hob or oven the project calls for.

The detail · Live charcoal

Vision 05 — Onyx

The Stone that Lightsthe Night

BACKLIT ONYX · MIRRORED WATER · CYPRESSES

When the whole garden falls dark, the onyx comes alight. The poolside bar glows from within, a lantern of stone: golden veins run through the light, the stools wait in line, the cypresses keep their dark watch beyond. And the water, perfectly still, doubles it all into a second, inverted bar.

It is the most theatrical vision in the collection: stone become a source of light, a bar that needs nothing else to make an evening. Backlit onyx is among the most precious crafts of our workshop: if you have a pool, a terrace, a night waiting to be lit, we will draw the project around you.

Vision 06 — Verde Guatemala

The Green that Converseswith the Domes

VERDE GUATEMALA · BURNISHED BRONZE · ROMAN TERRACOTTA

On a terrace of Roman terracotta, at the blue hour, the Verde Guatemala island converses with the eternal city: the dome on the horizon, umbrella pines for a stage set, wine glasses already waiting on the counter. A burnished bronze frame draws the marble's perimeter, and a warm light hidden in the plinth sets the whole volume upon a cushion of gold.

This vision is an act of homage: the deep green of the marble set against the reds of terracotta and the Roman sky. A project conceived for terraces with a view worth honouring — yours — where the kitchen becomes the belvedere of the house. We design it to measure, with the taps, the burners and the proportions the place deserves.

Vision 07 — The Ring

The Marble that Embracesthe Olive Tree

CALACATTA · CENTURIES-OLD OLIVE TREE · BRASS HOB

In the stone courtyard the marble bends into a circle and embraces the olive tree. The great Calacatta ring turns about the ancient trunk like a ring upon a finger: golden veins chase along the curve, a brass hob is set into the mass, and a single beam from above ignites the silver crown at the centre of the scene.

It is the vision closest to our heart: a kitchen that does not occupy the landscape but turns around it, with the tree as the centre of the table. Curving marble into an unbroken crown is a test of workshop mastery we take on with pride: if a tree worthy of a throne lives in your courtyard, this project already belongs to it.

Vision 08 — The Vineyard

A Blade of Marbleabove the Mist

GREY VEINED MARBLE · BURNISHED STEEL · BRASS EDGE

The vineyard sleeps beneath the mist and the marble watches over it from above: a single grey slab, veined like a March sky, suspended on one leg of burnished steel. The grill and the basin are carved from the mass, a brass edge runs the length of the rim, and a mild light warms the worktop as the vine rows dissolve into white.

This vision was born for the countryside: the kitchen as a slender bridge above the rows, a place to cook before a vineyard that changes with the seasons. The single slab, the calibrated cantilever, the flush recesses: this is structural tailoring, and it is our trade. Bring us to your hillside and we will draw the exact blade that belongs to it.

Vision 09 — Rosso Levanto

The Red, the Copperand the Fire

ROSSO LEVANTO · HAMMERED COPPER HOOD · OPEN-FIRE GRILL

Three reds answer one another in the night: the Rosso Levanto of the island, crossed by its white veins; the hammered copper of the great hood, descending from the ceiling like a cathedral bell; and the live flame of the grill, which sets them both alight. Beyond, the moonlit sea keeps time.

It is the most convivial vision in the collection: the kitchen as a monumental hearth, built for evenings when the fire is the spectacle and no one wishes to leave the table. Marble, copper and flame call for different crafts and a single design: ours. Tell us where your sunset falls, and we shall build the rest.

Vision 10 — The Amphitheatre

The Amphitheatreof Fire

TRAVERTINE · CONCENTRIC TIERS · BRASS RING

The darkness is absolute and the earth opens in circles: tier after tier, the travertine descends towards the centre where the brazier burns, and sparks climb in a column towards the only light. A ring of brass crowns the outer rim and closes the figure, like the seal upon a letter.

It is the vision that closes the tale: no longer a kitchen set before its guests, but guests within the kitchen — a small amphitheatre carved for gathering around the fire as we have done for millennia, and as we hardly do any more. Carving the circle into stone is no small undertaking: we know how to conduct it. You bring the stories to tell.

Which stone lasts outdoors: marble, granite, quartzite, lava stone, sintered stone

Outdoors, stone works under rain, frost, sun and salt air, and not every stone reacts the same way. Granite and quartzite are the safest choices: compact, low-absorption, indifferent to temperature swings and to the acids of lemon and wine. Lava stone withstands open fire and frost, and can be hand-glazed for a coloured countertop. Sintered stone (Dekton, Laminam) is ultra-compact: it does not absorb, does not scratch and fears neither sun nor frost. Marble remains the most beautiful: we recommend a honed or brushed finish, a water-repellent sealer renewed every season and, where possible, a spot under a pergola or in a sheltered corner. Compact travertine, sealed, also gives excellent results. The slab is chosen in person in our workshop in Aprilia.

Island, linear, corner, U-shaped layouts

The shape comes from the space. A linear kitchen runs along a wall or a railing and needs little depth: it is the simplest solution for a terrace. The corner layout uses two sides and separates the cooking area from the washing area. The island is seen from every side, is lived around with stools at the counter, and is the protagonist of the garden or the poolside. The U-shape wraps around the cook and gathers barbecue, sink, fridge and worktops into a single block: the choice of those who entertain often. Add to these the circular and rounded kitchens, the steel monoblocks, the peninsulas with a two-level counter and the marble table that grows out of the kitchen itself. Every layout is adapted to measure: the catalogue models are a starting point, not a limit.

Outdoor kitchen in refractory stone with barbecue, wood-fired oven, sink and fridge

An outdoor kitchen of ours is built on site: a structure in refractory stone blocks, clad in stone, topped with a worktop in marble, granite or sintered stone cut in our workshop. Inside go the elements of conviviality: the gas or charcoal barbecue — we work with BeefEater and Bull, with the Cabinex series and with Fogher modules —, the wood-fired oven with its dome, the plancha, the burners, the sink with outdoor taps, the fridge and the wine cooler, the drawers and doors in steel or treated wood. The design provides for drains, water, gas and power before installation, so the countertop arrives already cut for every built-in element. As an alternative to solid stone, structures in steel or treated wood are lighter and suited to a terrace.

How much a custom outdoor kitchen costs

The price depends on four things: the stone chosen and its thickness, the metres of worktop, the structure (refractory stone, steel, wood) and the built-in elements, from barbecue to fridge. This is why we publish no price lists: two kitchens of the same size can cost very differently. The Economy range, in refractory stone with standard modules, is the most affordable way to begin; a bespoke island in solid marble or granite is an investment that lasts decades and shrugs off the seasons. The quote is free and starts from a floor plan, a few measurements or a photo of the garden; on request we pair it with a 3D drawing, so you see the kitchen set in your own space before deciding.

From survey to installation: 3D design, lead times, fitting

It begins with a meeting, in our workshop in Aprilia or with a site survey at your home: we measure the space, check the water, gas and power connections, and learn how you live your garden. Then come the design, with a 3D drawing showing the finished kitchen in your setting, and the quote. Once the slab has been chosen in person, the worktop is cut, shaped and finished in our workshop, with the cut-outs for built-in elements already made. Lead times are agreed at the time of order, according to the stone and the complexity of the project, and installation is scheduled around your needs. Fitting is done by our own team: we deliver the kitchen, set it in place, connect the elements and leave it ready for the first evening.

Where we work

Where we work

Our workshop and showroom are in Aprilia, on the Via Pontina at km 45.350, about 45 km from Rome-EUR and 25 km from Latina. We survey, deliver and install in Rome and its province, the Castelli Romani, Pomezia, Ardea, Anzio, Nettuno, Cisterna, Velletri, Latina and the rest of Lazio; we build kitchens across Italy and abroad on request, as in Dubai.

Why refractory stone

Made for fire,
not merely enduring it

For outdoor kitchens and barbecues we use no cement and we do not build in masonry: with thermal shocks the inner structure deteriorates and after a few years it starts to give way. Our outdoor kitchens and barbecues are built in refractory stone, the very material ovens are made of: it is born to stand beside the flame and it holds the heat over time.

It is a choice you cannot see in a photograph, but you feel it over the years: the kitchen stays the one you had on day one, season after season, under the sun and under the frost.

Frequently asked questions

Marble outdoor kitchens: questions and answers

Does a marble outdoor kitchen withstand frost and sun?

Yes, if the stone is chosen well and the finish is not polished: granite, quartzite, compact travertine and sintered stone are indifferent to frost, rain and sun; marble should be honed or brushed, sealed with a water-repellent treatment and the hob covered in winter.

Which stone is best outdoors: marble, granite or Dekton?

For heavy use we recommend granite or quartzite, which resist acids and temperature swings; Dekton is ultra-compact and resists scratches, frost and sun; marble is the most beautiful and ideal under a pergola or in sheltered areas, with seasonal maintenance.

How much does a custom outdoor kitchen cost?

It depends on the stone, size, barbecue and accessories. Our refractory stone Economy range starts at modest prices; a solid stone island is an investment that lasts decades. Free quote from measurements and photos of the garden.

Which barbecue can be built in?

Gas or charcoal barbecues (we work with BeefEater and Bull), wood-fired oven, plancha, burners, fridge and sink: the design integrates everything into the stone.

What is the base made of?

The structure is built in refractory stone blocks, the material that stands up to the flame; where a lighter solution is called for, steel or treated wood. We decide together during the site survey, according to the ground, terrace or poolside.

How do I clean a stone outdoor kitchen?

Water and a neutral detergent, never acids or aggressive descalers; renew the sealer once a year and cover the cooking area in winter.

Can it go on a terrace?

Yes, with lightweight modules and tops in sintered stone or thin granite, checking the load during the site survey.

Do you deliver outside Italy?

Yes. Free site survey and quote in Rome, Latina and all of Lazio; delivery and installation across Italy and shipping worldwide, with projects completed abroad, such as Dubai.

The collection archive

Outdoor kitchens we have built,
model by model

More than two hundred and fifty proposals make up our outdoor kitchen catalogue: standard configurations and fully customisable compositions, from affordable kitchens to grand islands in stone and marble, from the Bull and Fogher models to the Cabinex series with BeefEater barbecues.

Leaf through these pages as you would an album and, when a model speaks to you, take it as a point of departure: every kitchen can be adapted in its dimensions, materials and elements, because for us the catalogue is not a boundary — it is where the conversation begins.

U-shaped outdoor kitchen with sintered stone worktop, stainless steel appliances and treated wood doors

Sintered stone

Outdoor Kitchen Block Pro, the U-Shaped Embrace

The U-shaped layout wraps around the cook like an embrace: at its centre the great sink brimming with ice and bottles, beside it the refrigerator whose glass door offers a glimpse of its treasures. Michelessi's Outdoor Kitchen Block Pro weaves three materials into a single narrative: a sintered stone worktop, compact and indifferent to the weather; steel appliances, professional and luminous; treated wood doors, their pale frames set against a warm ground, bringing the grace of a family kitchen into the garden.

Afternoon light caresses the surfaces and reveals the care behind every pairing, the measured play between the brown of the doors and the counter that crowns them. It is the essence of the artisan's art applied to outdoor kitchens: bespoke workmanship in which every element — from the barbecue to the oven, down to fine marble finishes — can be conceived around the way you live the outdoors.

Detail of a marble kitchen worktop with grey veining, built-in sink and chrome tap, crafted by Michelessi

Marble

Matter Laid Bare: a Marble Kitchen Worktop

Here the camera draws close enough to graze the surface: the moment when marble reveals itself. Grey veins cross the worktop like currents in a calm river — chasing one another, touching, vanishing into the clean cut of the built-in sink. The chrome tap bends in an elegant gesture and is reflected in the polished stone, the only vertical element in a horizontal landscape of matter.

This image shows the kind of workmanship Michelessi devotes to kitchen worktops: the edge finished with precision, the recess perfectly joined, the surface honed until light travels across it without stumbling. This is the heart of the craft: bespoke marble work, where every slab is chosen, cut and finished by expert hands in the Italian artisan tradition. A detail, certainly — but it is in the details that an outdoor kitchen ceases to be furniture and becomes a work of art.

3D design

The Project Takes Shape: a 3D Preview

Before the stone, before the steel, comes the drawing. This image is a three-dimensional preview: the outdoor kitchen appears already complete beneath its white pergola, the steel hood rising towards the beam, the barbecue ready at the centre, the ventilated-door modules aligned like a small work of architecture. Around it, hints of green suggest the garden to come. This is how Michelessi works: on request, a 3D drawing lets you appreciate the final result in advance, seeing the piece set within your own surroundings before production even begins.

You can weigh the proportions, adjust, imagine — and only when the design truly resembles you does Italian craftsmanship step onto the stage to turn it into matter. Bespoke also means this: no surprises, only the certainty of an outdoor kitchen conceived for your space, with the possibility of fine marble finishes and every element you desire.

Outdoor kitchen with built-in professional barbecue, glass-front mini fridge, sink and quartzite worktop

Quartzite

Professional BBQ Kitchen, Quartzite Up Close

Against a wall of glossy black tiles, the composition arranges itself with the calm of those who know their trade: at the centre the built-in professional barbecue, its controls lined up like the instruments of an orchestra; to the left the mini fridge on view behind glass; further along, the sink recessed into the worktop. And what a worktop: pale quartzite stretches its compact surface above the dark doors, gathering the light and returning it softened. Michelessi's Professional BBQ Kitchen is conceived for those who want the performance of a true kitchen outdoors, without renouncing the elegance of natural materials.

Quartzite, marble's austere sister, withstands heat and time; the steel of the appliances guarantees professional precision. Everything springs from bespoke workmanship in the finest artisan tradition: you can compose your outdoor kitchen by choosing elements, materials and fine finishes, accompanied by Michelessi's experience. Write to us or call: together we will study the composition best suited to your garden or terrace.

Outdoor kitchen with natural split stone worktop, wood and steel doors, built-in gas barbecue

Stone and wood

Stone and Wood Kitchen, a Dialogue of Materials

Some materials seem born to stand together. In this outdoor kitchen, the natural split stone worktop shows its raw edge, as irregular as the rock from which it came, while below alternate wood doors in warm tones and steel modules with a cool gleam. The gas barbecue presides at the centre with its professional controls, framed by this weave of surfaces at once rustic and sophisticated.

The wooden motifs of the doors, drawn with taste, lend the composition an almost musical rhythm. This is the dialogue between nature and technique that Michelessi has always orchestrated: the same artisan hand that works marble to measure here brings stone, wood and metal into a balance that never tires the eye. A kitchen conceived for the outdoors, built to endure and to move, in the tradition that makes every project a one-off piece, tailored around your desires.

Stone-effect stoneware outdoor kitchen with black dome oven and treated wood doors, on a green terrace

Stone-effect stoneware

The Open Oven Above a Roof Garden

Among the lush planters of a roof garden, the black dome of the oven rises like a small ancestral architecture. This stone-effect stoneware outdoor kitchen stretches its grey volumes along the terrace: tactile, mineral-toned surfaces in dialogue with the treated wood of the small doors and the exuberant green of the plants. The open oven is the declared protagonist — promising bread, pizzas, slow risings and evenings around the fire — while the rest of the composition works in silence, ordered and resilient.

Daylight, filtered by the surrounding buildings, softens every edge and restores the intimate atmosphere of an urban refuge. Michelessi designs and builds kitchens like this with true artisan knowledge: stone-effect stoneware guarantees longevity and easy care, treated wood adds warmth, and the bespoke workmanship — the same the house devotes to marble — lets you compose your outdoors exactly as you imagined it.

Outdoor kitchen with marble cladding and steel worktop, gas barbecue and glass-front fridge under a pergola

Marble

The Marble Kitchen, Elegance Beneath the Pergola

Beneath the woven shade of the pergola, the Marble Kitchen extends its line along the terrace: marble cladding with restless veining wraps the modules like a tailored suit, while the steel worktop runs above them, polished and professional. The glass-front refrigerator reveals bottles chilling; the semi-professional gas barbecue waits behind its clean lines. All around, the scene is that of an open-air salon: the screen framed in wood, the seating, the green landscape opening beyond the balustrade.

Yet it is the marble that sets the tone — the stone Michelessi knows better than any other, worked to measure in the finest artisan tradition. Its veining makes every module unrepeatable; its elegance passes through fashions without ageing. An outdoor kitchen like this does more than furnish: it signs the space, and hands it over to your finest evenings. A 3D drawing, available on request, will show you the kitchen in your own setting before the work even begins.

Outdoor gas barbecue in stone with steel doors and hood, exposed stone base and garden

Stone Gas Barbecue

Stone Barbecue, the Strength of the Dry Wall

The base is a story told in stone: blocks laid in irregular courses, with their shadows and their nuances, like a dry-stone wall that decided to become a kitchen. Above, the pale counter carries the barbecue with its dark hood and fruit ready beside the grill; at the centre, steel doors open in the stonework like a technical strongbox. Behind, the red brick house and the green of the garden complete a scene with a familiar flavour, the stone paving leading the gaze out to the lawn.

This stone gas barbecue by Michelessi unites the solidity of traditional construction with the precision of modern appliances: a balance that is the very heart of Italian craftsmanship. Bespoke workmanship allows dimensions, stones and finishes — down to marble details — to be adapted to the character of your outdoor space. Contact us to study materials, finishes and dimensions together: every detail is born around your space and your habits.

Outdoor island kitchen in marble with dry-stone base, round built-in barbecue and terracotta floor

Marble Island Outdoor BBQ

The Marble Island on Red Terracotta

The marble slab spreads over the stone base like a precious mantle: thick, shaped with a soft edge, crossed by clouds and veining that no imitation could ever invent. Below, dry-laid stone blocks tell of patient construction; above, the round built-in barbecue opens its steel lid, ready for service. The red terracotta floor, laid in herringbone, warms the entire scene, while in the foreground the small fire bowl awaits the evening.

This is the Michelessi marble island barbecue: the meeting of the noblest stone — the one the company has always worked — with the elemental pleasure of the open-air grill. Bespoke marble craftsmanship is the heart of this project: every slab is chosen, cut and finished according to the tradition of Italian artisans, for an island that is at once a cooking instrument and a garden sculpture. From the first sketches to delivery, we follow you through every step with the care your outdoor space deserves.

Outdoor kitchen in Laminam with gas barbecue and refrigerator, white wooden canopy and pool alongside

Poolside Kitchen

Laminam at the Poolside, Beneath the Canopy

The turquoise water of the pool enters the frame like a promise of summer, and the kitchen answers from its white-painted wooden canopy: an orderly line of pale doors beneath the dark Laminam counter, the great ceramic slab that unites slenderness with extreme resilience. The gas barbecue waits at the side with grills ready, the glass-door refrigerator keeps the day cool, and the sink with its slender tap completes the equipment.

Underfoot, the wooden decking warms each step between one dive and the next. This is the Michelessi Poolside Kitchen: a project in which every material is chosen to live with water, sun and the salt of summer. The Laminam counter resists scratches, stains and thermal shock; bespoke workmanship and Italian craftsmanship shape the composition to your space, with precious marble finishes available. We can adapt dimensions and equipment to every need: ask us for a proposal conceived for your space.

Outdoor kitchen with vaulted wood-fired oven, black-hooded barbecue, round sink and refrigerator

Kitchen With Oven

The Wood-Fired Oven's Dome, White and Red

The white dome of the wood-fired oven, ringed by the red bricks of its arch, presides over its corner like a small basilica of taste: within the vault, flame will turn simple doughs into aromas that summon the neighbours. Beside it, the kitchen spreads its pale refractory stone counter: the barbecue with its black hood, doors in reddish wood, the round steel sink with its tap at the ready, the recessed refrigerator for provisions.

The dark fencing and the green rising beyond the counter close the domestic scene. This is the Michelessi Oven Kitchen: the project for those who believe the vaulted wood-fired oven is not nostalgia but future — because certain kinds of cooking have no substitute. The construction unites refractory stone, brick and steel with the knowledge of Italian craftsmanship; bespoke workmanship composes oven, barbecue and counters around your space, with precious marble finishes available.

Outdoor kitchen with polished black granite island, steel appliances and professional barbecue under a patio

Kitchen With Island

The Black Granite Island, Mirror of the Patio

The black granite of the island is so polished it becomes a mirror: it reflects the light of the patio and doubles the space, while its dark volume anchors the whole composition. Behind it, the kitchen runs along the wall with steel appliances in line — the professional barbecue with its lid at the ready, the refrigerators, the technical drawers — beneath dark counters that echo the island's theme.

Warm-toned stone flooring and the great openings of the house complete a setting where inside and outside blur naturally. This is the Michelessi Island Kitchen: black granite, among the hardest and deepest of stones, offers an almost eternal work surface and an elegance that never raises its voice. Bespoke workmanship — the same expertise Michelessi devotes to marble — and Italian craftsmanship shape island, equipment and finishes to the way you live your outdoors.

Outdoor marble kitchen with steel gas barbecue and integrated marble table beneath a pergola

Kitchen With Connected Table

The Marble Table Born from the Kitchen

Beneath the dark pergola, kitchen and table are a single gesture of marble: the stone spreads across the work surfaces, receives the steel gas barbecue with its professional gleam, and then continues, lengthens, becomes table — the same material, the same veining, the same hand. Metal seats wait around it, the ceiling fan stirs the warm air, and beyond the columns the garden spreads its ordered green.

This is the Michelessi Kitchen with Connected Table: a project that abolishes the distance between those who cook and those who wait, because work surface and dining table are one single body of stone. Here bespoke marble craftsmanship shows all its knowledge: cuts, junctions and thicknesses that only Italian artisans can govern. An outdoor kitchen that is also a dining room, sculpted for your summers. On request we prepare a 3D drawing, so you can appreciate the final result set within your own surroundings.

Bull Master Q outdoor kitchen with stone base, steel gas barbecue and dark wood side counters

Bull outdoor kitchen, MASTER-Q model

Bull Master Q, Stone Bearing the Fire

Compact and proud, the Master Q concentrates the essential into 126 by 70 centimetres of footprint: a base clad in stone laid in irregular courses, lending it the character of a small building, and above it the great Bull steel barbecue with its domed lid and row of knobs. At the sides, warm-toned counters offer resting places for plates and tools; below, steel doors guard the gas bottle and equipment.

It is the ideal cooking station for a small garden or portico: set it in place, connect it, and the season of the grill can begin. Bull, the renowned American outdoor kitchen brand, guarantees the mechanics; Michelessi accompanies the choice with its own experience and can integrate the model with bespoke workmanship — stone counters or precious marble finishes — in the manner of the Italian craftsmanship that distinguishes its every project. Write or call us: together we will devise the composition best suited to your garden or terrace.

Cabinex Classic series black outdoor kitchen with 4-burner BeefEater barbecue, sink and fridge display

Cabinex outdoor kitchen, Classic series with 4-burner BeefEater BBQ

Cabinex Classic, Black and 4 BeefEater Burners

Black dresses the whole line: matt doors follow one another without distraction, the dark counter runs uniform, and at the centre the four-burner BeefEater barbecue shows its grills beneath the iconically profiled lid. On the left, the black sink with its tall tap awaits service; on the right, the refrigerated display case offers a glimpse of bottles behind glass. This is the Cabinex Classic series: an outdoor kitchen wedding monochrome rigour to the substance of professional equipment.

Cabinex kitchens are born of the collaboration with BeefEater, the iconic Australian barbecue brand, bringing its tradition of robust, generous grills into the garden. Michelessi offers the model with its own counsel, helping you set it into your space; for those who desire a personal signature, bespoke workmanship and Italian craftsmanship offer stone counters and precious marble finishes. We work from drawings and to measure: tell us about your space and we will propose the most fitting solution.

Circular outdoor kitchen in treated marble and granite with professional steel barbecue and night lighting

Circular Outdoor Kitchen

The Curve of Stone That Welcomes the Evening

The night is an accomplice: warm lights run beneath the counter and trace the curve of the kitchen like a luminous ribbon, while the base of stone in irregular courses anchors the composition to the garden. The dark composite counter follows the circumference without a single hard corner, receiving the professional steel barbecue on its left flank and then stretching toward the bar, where tall seats await the guests. Treated marble and granite, protagonists of the construction, withstand the seasons while keeping their depth; the built-in refrigerator works discreetly in the base.

Around, illuminated trees close the natural amphitheatre. This is the Michelessi Circular Outdoor Kitchen: a project that refuses the straight line in order to embrace those who live it. The bespoke working of stone and marble — the age-old craft of Italian artisans — shapes every curve to your space and your evenings. On request we prepare a 3D drawing, so you can appreciate the final result set within your own surroundings.

Budget bespoke outdoor kitchen in wood with push-and-pull doors, gas barbecue and shelves

Economy Outdoor Kitchen 100

Warm Wood and Flush Doors, Economy Series

Precise lights wake the wooden wall and reveal the nature of the project: warm, continuous surfaces, free of handles — the doors open at a touch with the push-and-pull system, and the compartment is served. The dark counter runs the length of the composition and carries the steel gas barbecue, while on the right the open shelves keep the most-used things within reach. The decking accompanies the overall tone, intimate and contemporary.

This is the Michelessi Economy Outdoor Kitchen 100: proof that a kitchen made to measure can be affordable without renouncing design. The Economy series was born precisely for this — to bring Italian craftsmanship to every kind of budget — and every composition adapts to your space: shelves, push-and-pull doors, equipment and finishes are chosen together, with room to grow over time. Write or call us: together we will devise the composition best suited to your garden or terrace.

Fogher Agher modular outdoor kitchen in Ossidiana with sink, built-in barbecue and gas burners

Fogher outdoor kitchen, modular AGHER model — Ossidiana

Agher Ossidiana: Black That Equips the Garden

In the Ossidiana finish, the Agher wears the deepest black of its range: a rigorous volume on slender legs, with the sink and its arching tap to the left, the built-in Fògher barbecue sheltered beneath its cover at the centre, and gas burners ready on the right. The Agher outdoor kitchen is a versatile, richly equipped model, perfect for any space: two customisable bays accept sink, cooking systems or fittings of your choosing, and doors beneath the top guard the essentials.

Four unique colours define the series — Ossidiana, Terra di Siena, Salvia Antica, Seta Materica — each conceived to enhance its setting. Fogher signs the build quality; Michelessi accompanies the choice with its own counsel and can, on request, complete the model with bespoke stonework and fine marble finishes in the tradition of Italian craftsmanship. A 3D drawing, available on request, will show the kitchen in your setting before work begins.

Modern U-shaped outdoor kitchen with light marble tops, wooden bases, fridge and built-in barbecue

U-Shaped Outdoor Kitchen

The Great U with Marble Worktops

The U opens generously into the woods and lays out a true piazza of taste: great slabs of light marble run along three sides, luminous against the deep green of the trees, while wooden bases with classic doors pace the perimeter with ordered warmth. The built-in barbecue works beneath its steel hood, the fridge stands guard in the base, and white parasols open their corollas over the scene, ready to shade long lunches. The house with its great windows watches from behind.

This is Michelessi's Outdoor Kitchen U: modern, enveloping, its marble tops carrying into the woods the nobility of stone cut to measure — the craft the company has always cultivated. Slabs, joints and recesses are finished with Italian craftsmanship: every vein chosen, every edge refined, so the U becomes the exact centre of your summers. Every project can accommodate sink, burners, fryer or oven: compose your equipment with our experts' advice.

Outdoor kitchen built in veined marble with thick worktops and built-in barbecue, on a wooden terrace

Marble Outdoor Kitchen

Marble Become Kitchen, Vein After Vein

Here marble is no detail: it is the entire kitchen. Slabs veined in brown and grey, stirred like a landscape seen from above, clothe bases and worktops in a single narrative of stone; the generous thickness of the tops declares the project's substance, and the built-in barbecue opens in the material like a window of steel. The wooden terrace and the grey-toned house form a sober frame, leaving the veining as absolute protagonist.

This is Michelessi's Outdoor Kitchen in Marble: the purest expression of the house's craft — marble worked to measure, as it always has been, with Italian craftsmanship. Each slab is chosen for its pattern, cut and joined so the veins continue from one surface to the next: a singular work, unrepeatable by definition, turning the daily act of cooking into a privilege.

Outdoor kitchen in exposed refractory stone with integrated steel gas barbecue and wood-effect doors

Refractory stone Kitchen

Exposed Refractory stone, the Integrated Barbecue

The refractory stone shows itself without artifice: living surfaces, marked by the clouding of the pour, compose a volume whose thick worktop crosses the scene like a mineral bridge. At the centre, the integrated steel gas barbecue opens its lid and strikes its reflection against the dark slatted wall; below, wood-effect doors soften the front, and pots of succulents punctuate the counter like small sculptures. This is Michelessi's Kitchen in Refractory stone: brutalist aesthetics tamed by design, humble matter ennobled by proportion.

Refractory stone bears seasons and knocks without complaint, and ages into character. Bespoke work calibrates pours, thicknesses and recesses to your space; the surfaces are finished with the care of Italian craftsmanship — and for those who desire a precious counterpoint, Michelessi's marble stands ready. We can adapt dimensions and equipment to every need: ask us for a proposal designed around your space.

Outdoor kitchen with dark Dekton wall, wood-slat base, gas barbecue and steel hood

Tech Kitchen

Tech Kitchen, Dekton and Wood in Dialogue

The graphite-toned Dekton wall rises compact and technical — the great ultracompact slab that fears neither scratches, frost nor sun — and the kitchen answers with the warmth of the wooden slats that clad its base. Between them, the stainless gas barbecue works beneath the professional hood descending from the wall; to the side, a bench faced in blue tiles adds an accent of colour that surprises. Above, a planter lets the green spill down.

This is the Michelessi Tech Kitchen: Dekton and wood, the pairing that joins extreme performance to natural welcome. Dekton stands among the most resistant surfaces available today — a perfect ally for the outdoors — and naming it matters, because the quality of materials is half the project. Bespoke work composes wall, base and recesses around your space; artisan hands sign the details, all the way to fine marble.

Poolside outdoor kitchen island clad in white stone with built-in stainless steel appliances

Poolside Kitchen Island

White Stone Aglow on the Water

Evening settles on the hills and the pool lights up with reflections: at its edge, the island spreads its cladding of white stone in slender courses, luminous even in the half-dark, and a dark counter where the bottles await the toast. Built-in steel appliances punctuate the front — drawers, doors, satin surfaces gathering the last of the light — ready to serve the night now beginning.

This is the Michelessi Poolside Kitchen Island: a project conceived for the most beautiful hour, when water becomes mirror and the kitchen becomes stage. The stone cladding withstands chlorine, splashes and seasons; the steel guarantees the service. Bespoke work draws the island around your pool and your way of entertaining; artisan laying and precise recesses come with fine marble available for those who want the final signature. We can build it in a range of materials, with fine marble finishes: speak with our specialists.

Michelessi stainless steel outdoor kitchen with treated wood worktop, gas barbecue and sink, set in a garden

Steel

Steel Kitchen, the Metal that Fears No Season

Garden light glides across the dark treated-wood worktop and pauses on the gleam of steel: this is a steel outdoor kitchen by Michelessi, conceived for living in the open air without giving anything up. The grey steel doors, framed with quiet restraint, conceal the gas barbecue built into the side, while the generous steel sink gathers bottles and ice as if the toast had already begun. Every surface speaks of a deliberate choice: metal that shrugs off water and wind, a treated-wood top that warms the eye, proportions studied so that cooking becomes a natural gesture.

This is the Italian craftsmanship Michelessi brings to your outdoor spaces: bespoke workmanship that can welcome, on request, fine marble finishes, hobs, an oven and everything your imagination desires. A domestic scene beneath the open sky, where carefully worked material invites you to stay, to cook, to share. It can be made in a range of materials, with fine marble finishes: speak with our experts.
