Pinkerton recommends: Cicchetti
Looking for a new restaurant to try this weekend? Cicchetti (pronounced "chi-KET-tee"), which means small nip of wine or plate of food is a new Mediterranean restaurant in the Eastlake neighborhood. It's located right around the corner from it's sister restaurant and long-time local favorite, Serafina!
Dishes:
- Octopus with salsa verde and chickpeas
- Tunisian spicy carrot salad with harissa
- "Oven-floor" cheese and fresh bread
- Portuguese baked clams with spicy sausage
Drinks:
- Caravan Spirit - a mix of fine Moldavian brandy, Oloroso sherry, lime and orange juices, with a dash of house made cardamom and mace tincture. (please note: not knowing what half of the ingredients are adds to it's allure, i think!)
- great wine menu!
Best for:
- girls night out
- casual date night
- private parties (they have a "library room" located upstairs or a lovely patio outside!)
Enjoy!
