A cantina is a type of bar common in Latin America and Spain. The word is similar in etymology to "canteen", and is derived from the Italian word for a cellar, winery, or vault.[1] In Italy, the word cantina refers to a room below the ground level where wine and other products such as salami are stored.[2]
