Cicheti, pronounced _chee keh tee_, are the signature small plates native to Venetian bàcaris or wine bars that meld traditional Italian heritage with distinct Mediterranean influences. Cicheti is a rustic chic trattoria that offers a distinctive perspective on Italian cuisine earmarked by regional specialties and authentic wood fired Neapolitan pizzas presented in an urbane space where old world charm is brought into modern design all while spearheaded by an all local kitchen team. Our 40 odd labels strong and counting cellar today pays homage to some of oldest wine producing regions in the world through a regular rotation that favours Italian icons while lending itself well to spotlight the country s lesser known native grape varietals akin to Piedmont s _Freisa_ Campania s _Fiano_ and Friuli s _Ribolla Gialla_ each on the brink of their own renaissance.
The Cicheti Group is a Singapore-based group of Italian restaurants, each offering a distinct perspective on authentic Italian cuisine. With five unique concepts tucked away in lesser-known corners across some of Singapore's most cherished neighborhoods, they've built a reputation on hearty, homespun Italian fare with a touch of spice, a gutsy and ever-evolving wine program, and homegrown hospitality talent. From the rustic-chic trattoria Cicheti (2013), serving wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and regional Italian specialties in the backstreets of Singapore's Arab Quarter, to Singapore's first pasta and wine bar, Bar Cicheti (2018), off the buzzy Keong Saik commune. Also, Wild Child Pizzette (2021), a modern-day pizza and wine joint along the riverside alley of Circular Road, Forma, an obsessed trattoria with a handmade pasta program in colorful Joo Chiat, and Casa Cicheti (2024), a neighborhood trattoria nestled in the heart of Tiong Bahru’s pre-war estates.
