Aperitivo Cicchetti, is an Italian Small Plate, Wine & Cocktail Bar located on Nassau Street, Dublin 2. With a focus on great Italian Food, Italian Wine & Classic Italian Cocktails with a selection of Aperitifs, Negronis & Spritz. We have meticulously picked our Italian Wines & plates, which will be rotating so we can always be offering the best selection.
We chose to offer small plates of the Italian classics as we wanted to allow you to taste & enjoy more! From the traditional Roman dishes Carbonara & Cacio e Pepe to Panzanella from Tuscany & Arancini from Sicily, we wanted to give a good representation of the whole of Italy. The interior of our location hosts an intimate ambience that will make you feel as though you have been transported to an Italian swing joint in the 1950s..
And as always we ask you to… Enjoy Yourself!

*Please note as we are an intimate 20 seater restaurant we cannot take bookings over 6 people or for drinks only. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Excellent food with great service in a small restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Don't miss the carbonara one of the best I've ever tasted. Good cocktail menu. Would thoroughly recommend

    Beautiful food and wonderful service, the restaurant is tiny and a bit noisy but that actually adds to the atmosphere. It was our second visit and we will definitely become regulars. Service charge is included in the bill which is very convenient.

    This is a very cosy restaurant with some tasty dishes on the menu and some underwhelming ones. The scamorza fritti were very tasty but the broccoli al forno wasn't great. The waiting staff were very attentive, but they brought us the wrong bruschetta (maybe if they'd written our order down?) The restaurant is classy inside but fairly cramped and you don't have much privacy because you're so close to other diners and staff. Good for a group but not a date.

    Some of the best food we’ve had in a long time, excited to return her already and try the rest of the menu. Service was fantastic, the staff were so lovely and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal here - had gotten quite busy by the time we were leaving but it’s a really lovely spot.
