Is the following sentence proper Italian or is it some sort of slang?

I have a reference that translates "Where is the cook?" as

Dov'è il cuoco?

I'm wondering if "Dov'è" is "proper" Italian or if it is a slang/shortcut way of expressing things.

thanks

That makes sense thank you :)

It is the contraction form of "dove"

it is correct. it is the same for english "don't" instead of "do not"
