⚠️ The trap
Cucina can mean both kitchen (the room) and cuisine (style of cooking). In English these two meanings are separate words. 'Faccio la cucina' can mean I cook, but 'vado in cucina' means I am going to the kitchen.
To say "a style of cooking or food characteristic of a place" in Italian:
cucina (overlaps — both kitchen and cuisine)
"cucina" in English means:
kitchen; also cuisine/cooking
Example
"La cucina italiana è famosa in tutto il mondo."
"Italian cuisine is famous all over the world."
