Cicheti

First time going here and we will definitely be going back. The service from the waiter was brilliant. Friendly and chatty and a good laugh without overstaying his welcome. We had a couple of aperol spritz, the godfather (I think that’s what it was called on the menu) and a tiramisu each to finish. The tiramisu was very boozy and it’s a must try.

Best old fashion in town. Guy at bar, is a mixologist of many years and designs cocktails for the menu. Makes the classics like the old fashioned also, but does them exceedingly! Many stars, many recommendations. Just overheard a table full of happy people telling him he should go on Britain's got talent!

Popped in for lunch just after the end of lockdown 3. What a treat. This is a lovely deli style restaurant bar doing a selection of (Italian style) light bites and more substantial platters. It has a nice relaxed atmosphere, great, friendly staff, a really good wine selection and the food is really tasty. It also has a few tables outside to enjoy the sunshine at. And it does takeaway. Add in sensible pricing, close proximity to the centre of town and a meat platter that would satisfy the hungriest person and you have a great little restaurant.

Had a light lunch at Cicheti and really enjoyed it. We shared a salumi board and a cheese board (around £14 each), both came with 4 sides (mango chutney, tomatoes, grapes and peppers for the cheeses; mango chutney, tomatoes, humus and olives for the salumi) and some bread (baguette, crispy pane carasau from Sardinia and focaccia). The atmosphere is really nice, I really liked the decorations on the ceiling and the toilet is huge and clean. The only reason why I’m not giving 5 stars is that service was a bit slow (not the server fault at all, he was alone and really kind with every customer) and the bread could have been a bit better, especially the focaccia which was a bit dry and not as soft as I was expecting it to be. But other than this I would definitely recommend the place and will probably be back again.
