CICCIO Bar & Alimentari

Walking past, I spotted the happy hour sign. Thursday from 4-6pm, the setting was low light, quiet and intimate with cosy seating. The Italian waiters were super energetic yet perfectly balanced, leaving us alone when we needed it. We started with a wine and spritz. The spritz was perfect, coming from an ex-bartender. Then we ordered the meatballs. Get the meatballs! They’re flavourful, not too tomatoey and incredibly juicy, meaty and cheesy. You need to try them. I’m not sure why this place hasn’t received more reviews or become a hotspot yet. It’s definitely my new local spot.

By far, the best Italian place in the city. The pastas are insane!!!! especially the vegetarian lasagna and the Cacio e Pepe with black truffle. The fish with the potato gratin on top of it is also phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with the gnudi as well.

As a tipical Italian arrived late to my dinner. (10.06 pm). Staff was super kindly( hard to find at 10.06pm) and, the ambient made me feel like i was in one of those “trattoria” from back home, Italy of course.The tagliatelle alla carbonara, what a choice.. probably one of the best in the city. And i really loved getting my glass of wine before the tap water.. i place to come!

Love the easy going atmosphere, and the Focus is on the food. The food was great and I can't even remember having GF Pasta that tasted so good. I will definitely be back.

It was my first time there, highly recommended by my son, it was amazing!! Not only was the food greatvbut the staff was so gracious and the service was fantastic! I grew up eating great Italian food, my family is from Sepino, Italy, so I can say this is the real deal! I must thank the entire staff for a great night!
