An amazing experience all round. A bar that specialises in Cicchetti (Italian Tapas ) with knowledgeable , friendly waiters and a varied selection of food. Went twice in one week!

Sam Perry

So many amazing dishes to choose from all with mouth watering flavours. Recommend the polpette, pizzas , calamari and aubergine . Went on a Saturday when it's busy,so meal felt a bit rushed...

Tarte tuna is great. Ovenbaked salmon is speacially cripsy and well cooked. Dessert board is a must! So in love wt Pistachio icecream and tiramisu ????????????????

New restaurant from San Carlo Group next door to their existing Birmingham restaurant (entrance in Waterloo Street). Cicchetti (Italian small plates /'tapas ' style) great for sharing, & cocktail bar .

Ciccheti Venice style restaurant . Food is amazingly good. Sit down order bottle of wine and 5-6 dishes between 2 of you and heaven.

Ruby Vanessa

Seafood based dishes. Shared dessert plater is great!

Ray Williams

Love the tapas concept! Had some very nice Italian food

Yannoush Le Manouche

Out of 4 dishes tried, only the truffles and pecorino raviolis where tasty. Don't really recommend for proper foodies, don't be fooled by the swanky interior it's rather average and a bit over priced

Kim Goulthorp

Seafood fantastic, service amazing, will go again

Çok güzel bir mekan. Garsonlar İtalyan. Yemekler küçük porsiyonlarda gelmekte. Ortalama 5 farklı seçenek 2 kişi için doyurucu olacaktır.Gnocchi Gorgonzola şiddetle tavsiye edilir..
