KuCina Italian Restaurant

Kucina Italian Restaurant is founded in June 2016 by Chef Gero @ Omar, an Italian-Muslim revert, who has over 30 years of experience in Italian cuisine. Realising that there’s no authentic and halal Italian food in Singapore, he decided to open the first one. Chef Gero wants to introduce Italian food to the Muslim community, who may not have the chance to enjoy such food due to the ingredients commonly used in Italian dishes.

Authenticity, in Kucina's context, is all about retaining the original method of preparing Italian food - no short-cuts or fusion. You can never find any other halal Italian food in Singapore that are more authentic and halal than the food served at Kucina. Why? Firstly, the restaurant is spearheaded by an Italian head chef who has an extensive knowledge on Italian food. Secondly, and most importantly, it is MUIS halal certified.

The word Kucina is inspired by the actual word "Cucina" which means 'kitchen' in Italian. To suit the local enunciation of words, the letter K is used instead of C. Hence, the word KUCINA is formed.
