Bar Cicheti

Food was average, none of the pasta dishes were impressive. We ordered 1 Bucatini Geno Mafaldine Ragu, Smoked Cacio. Bucatini was really soft but the other two were ok texture wise. Service was really nonexistent by our female server, she didn’t even bother to tell us about the daily specials and I only found out they exist midway through our meal when another server explained to the table next to us. Many better options around the area tbh.

Vibey bodega-esque pasta and wine bar. Well-executed pasta dishes and small plates. Small Plates > Pasta imo. But all good to share! Tasty burratina + calamari with Smokey tomato aioli. Desserts are noteworthy, but not yet unforgettable. Decent selection of Italian wine- best by the bottle. Other reds, whites and spumanté as well. Reservations are a must! Dining time may be limited to 90mins for weekend dinners. It’s always a challenge to find parking around Keong Saik/ Jiak Chuan.

Overhyped in my opinion. Small portioned food compared with the hefty price tag. Best pasta for the night was the Nero crab pasta and the tiramisu was nicely prepped with Amaretto.

Dined here on different occasions and throughout these few years the quality of food and service has always been top notch! Restaurant looks so good after the renovation, added so much to the ambience and ultimately to the comfort of dining. Food was outstanding as usual, we ordered zuppa di cozze e vongle, smoked rigatoni cacio e Pepe and cappelletti. Cocktails were yummy too! Service was friendly and attentive but gives you enough space to have a good time with the person you're there with. Will always be a place where I will revisit with people I love in my life. Thank you!

Came here in. Sunday afternoon. Easily found parking at the roadside. Was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. They took time to explain the menu with in plain English. We liked the Cacio e Pepe. Comes al dente with a nice peppery flavor. I like the free flow of sparkling water @$3. We finished the meal with tiramisu and very well liked pistachio tart. Will be back for their newly launch set lunch soon.

Stepping into Bar Cicheti for lunch felt like slipping into a little slice of Italy—intimate, effortlessly stylish, and brimming with charm. The space is warm yet refined, with a relaxed buzz that makes it perfect for a leisurely meal. I opted for the 3-course set menu, which turned out to be an absolute treat. The beef was beautifully prepared, rich and deeply satisfying. The star of the meal, however, was the Mafaldine pasta—perfectly al dente, with just the right balance of texture and flavour that made every bite memorable. I finished with a delicate almond tart, which rounded off the meal on a subtly sweet note. To complement everything, I enjoyed a fantastic glass of wine, recommended by the staff. The wine list here is well-curated, with interesting selections that elevate the Italian experience. With its refined yet inviting ambiance, Bar Cicheti is the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, savouring every sip and bite. A perfect spot for a long lunch or an intimate dinner—already looking forward to my next visit! 🍷✨

This is a chill restaurant. There is a long list of wine, but we were there for the pasta. Pasta were fresh and delish. Grilled octopus was tender and fresh too. We ordered 2 desserts. Both were nice. Was a satisfying dinner. Highly recommend.

Great food, attentive service and cool atmosphere...this restaurant is a winner. The concept is a bar with pasta, not a full italian restaurant. There was about 8 starters, 6 pastas and 4 desserts with a couple daily specials. Loved all the pastas we tried, all fresh made pasta. There is also a good wine list. Vibe was cool with nice music and cool decor. Service was great, very attentive and quick. Would definitely go back again!
