Summary/Abstract: The article engages the subject of Italian cuisine in the most recent Polish (mainly popular) literature in terms of sensory geography, which represents the trend of research in the category of space.The experience of cuisine is associated with a domination of three senses – the sense of taste, smell, and sight.

All of those elements constitute a culinary imagination, which confirms the cultural dimension of food.
