Cicchetti

Serafina & Cicchetti are definitely a neighborhood staple. If you haven't had the chance to pop over here for some amazing appetizers and a cocktail, you're missing out! My wife and I were lucky enough to grab a spot for their History of Gin class and beyond impressed with the delicious 4-course lunch paired with some incredible cocktails.

Best tapas I've had in a long time! Everything I had was absolutely delicious! It's a bit pricey so be prepared! However, they have 3 for $16, which is a great deal, but hard to narrow down because everything sounds so good! I ordered the garlic hummus with flatbread, wood fired dates, and the wood fired halloumi. If I had choose I would say the dates were my favorite, but I really liked all 3. Definitely give this place a try!

Wow. Really spectacular Italian joint with interesting food, superbly made drinks and expert service. Our young daughter asked about non-alcoholic drinks and the waiter offered to have the bartender mix something up for her. Who does that? We sat in the bar area - which I recommend (there's an upstairs area and a side room which are a little separated from the buzz of the main restaurant.) We'll definitely be back.

We just happened into this place in Eastlake and we were blown away by the food! Some really interesting flavor combos that are exotic but also comforting. The ambiance is good, and our server knowledgeable. Our quick dinner turned into multiple courses, and we certainly dont regret any of it. The honey sesame harissa chicken was BOMB, where we split the whole bird (it's basically cornish game hen size) after sharing 3 cicchetti starters (the tartare is amazing). Finished off with the chocolate banana bread pudding. We will be back!

I liked the food here - nothing blew my mind, but it was all good and we enjoyed everything. The service was polite and attentive and I liked the decor and the space. We had a reservation, which seems like a good idea on Friday and Saturday evenings as the space filled up. Other guests dressed up a bit, although casual clothes seem to be fine here as well. I enjoy tapas-style restaurants a lot for the ease of sharing, and this is a good place for that.

We got there around 6:30 PM on a Thursday as a group of 3 with no reservations. We were seated within 15-20 minutes. The menu is online so you can expect the pricing, but it honestly was a very very good meal. Everything was good but I especially liked the pork ribs, generously portioned for the price and melting in your mouth level. In the picture the square plate holds 3 appetizers so you can see the size. Would definitely return! Seems like it’d be a good date place. They also have a 20% Microsoft prime card discount off the total receipt! Took one star off because of slightly slow service and being seated in front of the open door so it was cold (we ended up just closing it).

Just found this place and it's 2 minutes walk from my place! Atmosphere is classy. Open wood burning stove and an upstairs with some views. Mediterranean food combinations that are delicious. We ordered a bottle of Rosé and didn't like it and the waitress was nice enough to bring us something else. I had the Teres Major steak, Valdeon-potato gratin, boharat huckleberry reduction, charred onion, lobster mushrooms, watercress. Girly had the Spiced lamb kefta, rose petal-cucumber yogurt, shallot, feta, dill, flatbread. Bring some ca$h but it's worth it.
