Cucina Moderna

Good brands, but very expensive — almost overpriced in many aspects. The staff is hit or miss. Sometimes I think «wow, the owners are lucky to have such great employees!!» and other times I think «how did his person ever get a job in a public setting??».

this is a great store for any kitchen gadgets that you may be looking for. especially unique or hard to find items. the staff is friendly and knowledgable!

I love Cucina Moderna. I love their helpful staff, and their convenient location and the amazing menagerie of kitchen fare that they have to offer. Their knives and pots are the stuff my kitchen dreams are made of.
BUT my bubble is often popped by the price tag. I know, I know, the quality is worth it. I’ve proven it a couple of times when I’ve splurged on quality (usually from one of their great sale options — hello Calaphon frying pan of my dreams…)
If you need the quality in your life, and you have a little extra $ to go around please make this your first stop. If money however is an object in your life, but you still love the quality kitchen goodness, than get yourself on their mailing list, take advantage of their monthly sales and add yourself to their rewards customer list. It will pay off before you know it!

This is a cute shop filled to the actual brim with uppity kitchen nick-​knacs that you probably don’t need but definitely will want once you see them in all the bright colour options. I should know –if there were a school for uppity kitchen obsessions, I would be a professor if not the mother-​effing dean.
What? I take frivolous kitchen tools very seriously.
Whether your a hobby chef, hobby mixologist (different than your average alcoholic, I swear), or just want to have a kitchen full of things that will make your guests feel vastly inferior, there will be at least three dozen things you’ll want by the time you’re leaving this teeny little store, not counting the four things you broke by turning around mid-​aisle.
My favourites? The double-​walled espresso shot glasses! My not-​so-​favourite? The fact that they cost $ 10 a piece. And therein lies the main problem with Cucina Moderna: they build up your home dreams and crush them with price tags that’ll have you running out of there faster than you can say, «I wonder if I can sneak this through the credit card bill…»
My advice: buy things one at a time in many small trips, tell spouse it’s a coffee shop and you’re just buying the occasional panini, smuggle all new shiny things in like an underground railroad for kitchenware.

This place is too great. I need to keep my wife away from here. They have too many amazing kitchen gadgets!

Cucina Moderna makes suburban dreams come alive. In fact, its likely to bring out the domestic side in all who enter! With its swanky assortments of kitchen accessories, this shop offers state of the art product and appliances to make kitchen time fun.
Blenders, juicers, expresso/​coffee makers, grill presses, etc– Cusina Moderna houses top industry brands and the most up to date models. It helps to have an idea what you’re looking for, otherwise its easy to get side tracked.
I was gifted a Krupps kettle from this shop a few years ago, and it is truly one of my most prized possessions. With its sleek design and functionality, my stainless steel beauty makes tea time extra luxe. Its my little taste of high-​end appliances, and it does make the difference. When I visit my parents, I actually do miss my Krupps.
Onwards! This is a hot spot to go if you’re in the market for anything high-​end kitchen. They are current on the market and offer anything from appliances to kitchen décor and settings. There are also oodles of odd gadgets you may of never knew existed! (I found a great veggie peeler that fits on the finger– peel away!) Prices are upwards, as to be expected, but its a fun place to browse regardless of budget.

Cucina Moderna is dying and going to kitchen accessory heaven. If I were a rich woman, one of my splurge-​sessions would include purchasing high-​end cooking gear from this store: Le Creuset pots and Kasumi knives here I come.
The staff at this kitchen Mecca are helpful and okay with slack-​jawed browsers in awe of all of the top-​quality merchandise.
You can find Panini presses, hand mixers, espresso makers, blenders and juicers, sexy whisks and spatulas, and the list goes on.
The prices are high, but the quality of the products in this shop is probably unparalleled. You’re paying for what you get, which I’m certain would be lifetime guarantees on a lot of the wares.
If you’ve got the c-​notes flowing freely, you should swing by this shop and have some fun. You could easily walk home with a whole new kitchen and a hole burnt straight through your once padded pocket.

Cucina Moderna constantly makes me feel bad about myself.
Why oh why must Halifax have a store with awesome kitchen appliances and accessories while I’m forced to settle for a pan from Wal-​Mart? Life is a cruel and cold mistress.
Cucina is a great store with a lot of really top notch gear for your kitchen. If you have the extra money and enjoy playing around in your kitchen, there is no reason not to shop here. And if you you have a little money, there’s no reason to not save up and buy the occasional item from here.
I purchased a waffle maker and I am now known as «The King Of Breakfast» in many social circles. It makes a delicious waffle in no time and looks really cool doing it. The price was fairly steep, but it was worth it.
If you love to cook, then you owe it to yourself to take a poke around Cucina Moderna… even if she’ll just break your heart.

I admit it: I am a big nerd in the kitchen. Cucina Moderna plays right into my weakness for fancy — but useful! — tools. I also think that there is a lot to be said (in my books) for inserting colour into your life wherever possible, and Cucina Moderna can help you do this in countless ways. They’ve got beautiful knives, mixing bowls, stand mixers and so many other things that cause me to drool.
Prices are steep-​ish, though, so watch for sales. Right now (January) there’s an «end of season sale» going on, and others occur throughout the year.

Wowzers! I say that because the products are amazing! I also say that because the prices are ridiculous!
If you’re a chef, or just enjoy cooking, you know the importance of high quality kitchen gear. You can’t chop garlic with a dull pearing knife, and you can’t stir-​fry if your pan isn’t non-​stick. Cucina Moderna definitely delivers exactly what you need to have top-​of-​the-​line cook– and bake-​ware, but at quite a price.
It’s way too far out of my league to purchase pretty much anything from this place, but it’s always nice to look around and even nicer to dream. There are so many things I want from here like, pots & pans, knives, woks, and even top grade coffee machines.
They have some smaller, yet equally as important items to purchase as well. I noticed a gorgeous stone mortar and pestle in two different sizes, and a cute garlic relief. All you have to do is put garlic in this little ball and roll it along the counter. It’ll chop the garlic easily for you. No more sticky hands. Okay, this isn’t an infomercial for the magic garlic chopper.
One day I’ll have my own restaurant and can afford to buy from here. For now, I’ll stick to my less-​than-​the-​best quality cook-​ware and make do with what I’ve got.

First of all, don’t head to Cucina Moderna if you’re a fan of sheer utility. ie: no frills. This kitchen wares store specializes in carrying the ultra swanky brands of everyday (and some up scale unique) items.
I thing that people tend to move through their lives in phases when it comes to kitchen apparel. When you’re in your 20’s, you’re just happy to have someone give you hand me down pots and pans… if you buy a house, you generally want slightly nicer things but can’t necessarily afford the crème de la crème… and then there’s the phase that my parents are in– when your kids have moved out and you can buy all the Miele appliances you’ve always wanted! This shop is best suited for that later phase. Sadly for me, this means that even the cheese graters are out of my price range.
Cucina Moderna carries brands such as: Krups, Saeco, Dualit and Cuisinart. Lime green, light blue, red and orange Kitchenaid stand alone mixers can be found here! (just in case you’ve been looking)
Definitely recommend taking a look! Very pretty appliances, bakeware, barware, and accessories, even if you’re just drooling and not purchasing.

This shop would get five stars for selection, but it only gets four stars because of the high pricing. Hey, poor people like to cook with nice utensils, too, you know.
And this place has nothing but the best. If you need it, they have it,. And yes, you will pay through the nose. But sometimes it’s worth it. Last time I was here I bought an awesome set of double-​insulated coffee mugs and a silicone pie-​crust protector — you know, because you need those things to survive. Okay, they’re indulgences, but that’s what this shop is all about.
I was pleasantly surprised to get a discount when I bought those things because apparently I had spent enough in that shop (and they do keep track via your phone number) to qualify as a frequent buyer. That may be a sign that I should indulge a little less, but I appreciated the discount, nonetheless. :)
