Best Italian-Made Kitchen Finds Overall 

Best Italian-Made Cookware 

Delicious meals are par for the course in Italy. With so much care given to the ingredients used and the recipes referenced in Italian kitchens, it’s only natural for there to be a strong culture of craftsmanship surrounding its cookware, too. In fact, some of our favorite brands, including Made In and Hestan, manufacture their pots and pans in Italy so as to take advantage of the region’s knowledge and expertise. Read on to shop these Italian-made masterpieces before they sell out.     

Made In Cookware 10-Inch Stainless Steel Frying Pan

It’s not surprising that our highest-rated stainless steel frying pan is made in Italy. The country, after all, has a history of excellent craftsmanship when it comes to cookware and cooking tools. Made In’s skillet is wide, well designed, and easy to clean. What’s more, the entire surface heats evenly for consistent cooking without any hot spots. While it sits at the higher end of the price spectrum, we think it’s “a great investment” for both “experienced cooks as well as those looking to purchase their first stainless skillet.” 

Creartistic 2.6-Quart Copper Jam Pan

Like all copper cookware, this pot is as expensive as it is beautiful. This combination is a given when dealing with copper because the metal itself is more costly than, say, stainless steel or cast iron. Since copper is also extremely heat-sensitive, it’s an excellent choice when making jam. All you have to do is set the flame to medium-low, stir the fruit and sugar mixture every so often, and you’ll have perfectly set jam in no time at all.  

Best Italian-Made Pasta Tools

If we could only eat one dish for the rest of our lives, most of us at Food & Wine would choose pasta. It’s an empty canvas that can be light and refreshing, hearty and rich, or wholesome and comforting, depending on how we prepare it. This doesn’t even take into account how much fun it is to make. Whether we’re hoping to impress guests or are simply looking for a new culinary adventure, homemade pasta rarely disappoints.   

Marcato Atlas 150 Classic Manual Pasta Maker 

The Atlas 150 Classic is our favorite pasta maker. Not only did it “hit nearly every mark during testing,” but we also found it to be “intuitive” and easy to use. This machine features 10 thickness settings, and includes attachments for fettuccine and spaghetti. Or you can get the brand’s pasta machine set, which also comes with ravioli and spaghetti attachments, if you want more variety in the kitchen. 

Eppicotispai Collapsible Pasta Drying Rack

If you’re willing to go through the effort of making fresh pasta, you’ll also need a drying rack. Eppicotispai’s model is made of beechwood, can be assembled in “10 seconds,” according to one Amazon shopper, and it collapses in on itself for easy storage. A second reviewer called it a “game-changer,” writing that there has been “no more clumpy pasta” in their household after buying this tool. 

Best Italian-Made Kitchen Tools 

In addition to cookware and pasta-making tools, Amazon’s Italian storefront is stocked with Champagne stoppers, glass mason jars, box cheese graters, salad spinners, and more.

Verve Culture Italian Mezzaluna

The Italian word mezzaluna translates to “half-moon” in English, which explains the curved shape of blade on this knife with the same name. With two handles on either end, it’s the perfect tool for chopping herbs, kale, and more. Simply grab the handles and rock the blade over the ingredients on your cutting board until they’re minced to your liking.     

Marcato Atlas Biscuit Maker Press

With this one tool, you can make cookies in 20 unique shapes. One Amazon shopper has had their Atlas cookie press for nine years and it “still works great,” while additional reviewers found it to be easy to use and a cinch to clean. Whether you’re making heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine’s Day or tree-shaped cookies on Christmas, Marcato’s press is the only tool you need to turn your seasonal spritz cookie dreams into a reality.
