C.U.C.I.N.A.

While the name of this shop, C.U.C.I.N.A., may not seem unique. However, once you spell out what the acronym actually stands for, 'come una cucina ispira nuovi appetiti' (how a kitchen can inspire new appetites), it gives the store a whole new meaning. C.U.C.I.N.A. is your one-stop-shop for cookware and interesting gizmos and gadgets for the kitchen. It's the perfect place to pick up that unique gift for someone who loves spending time in the kitchen. They have rows of cookware and utensils dedicated to baking pastries, cooking Italian dishes and there's even a special aisle for wine enthusiasts. The flagship store is just a stone's throw away from Piazza di Spagna with other locations in Fleming, Prati and Parioli. BUS: 116, 80, 52, 53. METRO: Spagna, Flaminio.
