La Cucina Italiana (stylized in all caps) is an Italian monthly magazine focused on gastronomy and food culture.

[1][2] First published in Milan on 15 December 1929 on the initiative of the journalist and literary man Umberto Notari, at the suggestion of his wife Delia Pavoni, who directed it until her death in 1935, the magazine was first created with the purpose of enhancing and promoting the traditional recipes of the Italian culinary art, as explained by the official name of the magazine.

At the same time, dietary changes in the popular diet are also encouraged by proposing innovative and cheap culinary solutions, in line with the historical reference period.

La Cucina Italiana interrupted its publications in 1943, but returned to newsstands in 1952 published by the Gosetti sisters (Guglielmina, Anna, and Fernanda) and in 1986 was bought by Editrice Quadratum.

In July 2007, Quadratum Publishing USA, based in New York, produced and distributed La Cucina Italiana in English language for the American and Canadian markets.
