Verdict · checked Nov 1, 2026
Mostly yes
Cucina Napoli is the kitchen line of Bianco Instruments, a family cutlery and instrument maker based at 13051 Gables Green Way, Catharpin, Virginia. Bianco's site is headed "HANDMADE IN THE USA," and its owner, Dominic J. Bianco, writes that the family business began in 1972 as a Brooklyn sharpening service and that in 2017 he "relocated to Virginia and continue[s] to design and manufacture quality instruments." The Cucina Napoli 7-inch kitchen scissor page says "Handcrafted in the USA," and the kitchen shear page calls it hand-sharpened, "Handmade & Honed."
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen shears and kitchen scissors | Catharpin, VA (handcrafted in the USA) | Made in USA |
| Bianco tweezers and cuticle nippers | Catharpin, VA (handmade in the USA) | Made in USA |
| Serrated steak knife sets | Hand finished in the USA | Mixed |
| Pizza rockers, pizza peel, oil sprayer | Not stated on product page | Origin not stated |
The wording is not identical across the line. The 6-piece steak knife listing says the knives are "hand finished in the U.S.A.," which describes finishing work rather than where the blanks were made. Some Cucina Napoli kitchen items on Bianco's site, such as the pizza rockers and the oil sprayer, carry no origin statement at all, so check the product page before assuming every item is US-made.
How we checked: On 2026-11-01 we read Bianco Instruments' About and Contact pages, the Cucina Napoli product pages on biancoinstruments.com, and the live Amazon listing for the steak knife set.
