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.

    10/10. Really small venue so can feel a bit on top of each other / able to hear conversations but food was faultless and service was great. Will defo be back and hope it can take off and move to a bigger venue!

    As always the food, experience, service was exceptional, the fly in the ointment is the habit of Aperitivo of reminding you that you have ten minutes to leave, so annoying!

    Tasty food, nice atmosphere and great service. Prices look low but this is essentially Italian small plates so it adds up very quickly and can work out a lot more expensive than just ordering a main course. Quite annoying to add a 12.5% service charge on a table of 2.

    I visited Aperitivo last week and it quickly became my favourite restaurant I have ever visited. The restaurant is very small, however the noise level and ambiance is perfect. The staff are very attentive and created a lovely dining experience. The food is amazing, some of the best tapas I have ever tasted.

    Ordered a glass of wine while finishing my cocktail, which the waitress attempted to take, told her I wasn’t finished so she apologised. Dropping the glass of wine down moments later and grabbed the cocktail off the table, too quick for me to say anything again. Not much left in the glass, but also cocktails are my cheap so would have liked to finish it!

    Food and in restaurant experience was fine, but trying to contact the restaurant to modify a booking was impossible, and their socials only redirect you to Open Table which redirects you back to the restaurant. Very frustrating

    The only small criticism was the food was not piping hot when it came out. Other than that we loved our meal.
