“ I didn't know what to expect when I found out this place was inside the Westin downtown. Hotel restaurants can be really hit or miss. My friend and I decided to check this place out for restaurant week and were pleasantly surprised. It sadly, wasn't very busy, but it is very chic inside. Our waitress was kind; she messed up the pacing of our meal a little when two of our courses came out at the same time, but other than that she was patient and sweet. We started with the burrata and meatballs. The burrata was alright, but honestly the meatballs were terrible. I would stick with their bread as that part was tasty! We both got the Cesar salad and it was absolutely delicious. A huge portion, with a nice touch of crispy prosciutto and a charred lemon. For our main courses we split the chicken strozzapretti and the mushroom rigatoni. Man, was I blown away here. The pastas were well cooked, the sauces were delicious, and we couldn't stop eating these dishes or trying to decide which was better. The portions were all really generous too. For dessert we finished with the strawberry and banana cheesecakes. Both of which were really tasty and the banana was especially unique (although if I had to pick I would say I liked the strawberry). Moral of the story, skip the meatballs, but make sure you check out this awesome Italian spot! ”
“ Two visits and both were stunning. Service was great, friendly, and not rushed. Late evening after a long day deserves proper hydration. We were impressed with the selections and the very reasonable prices. After walking around the area I decided to continue my patronage. Glad I did. Some unique breakfast selections---try the Tuscan Strata. Be warned, it takes 20 minutes and is worth it. In the end, it's the people. Both lovely visits. ”
“ Bar Cichetti is a good spot overall, and especially good for a hotel bar and restaurant. However, I found it to be both overpriced and has a mildly pretentious atmosphere. The food and drinks were good, but not great. Still worth a try. ”
“ I've visited Bar Cicchetti a few times now and it has been a great experience. My bartender was Anton each time and he did a fabulous job! I've tried a lot of things on the menu due to going with friends. Menu highlights have been the burrata, meatballs, and the truffle salad. I know that they are going through a lot of changes with their menu and bar menu and I can't wait to see what else they come up with. Things are a little on the pricier side, but this can be expected with this type of menu. That whipped ricotta is to die for! ”
“ For a bar, this closes way too early. Ate her twice. Food was good. Had a grilled cheese with bacon and fries the first time and a Cobb salad the second time. Service can be slow, especially if they have a lot of people; only one person seems to work midday. ”
“ Located in the Westin, it's beautifully decorated and looks upscale. You'll have to find parking around the area as they do not have a lot. We made it just in time for happy hour (4-6) and the menu is reasonably priced. I got the happy hour $6 wine pour along with the calamari ($10) and the Rigatoni bolognese ($10). The rigatoni was so flavorful. Probably my favorite one! The happy hour portions are smaller than their normal sized. It was perfectly portioned for me honestly and I was full leaving the place. Their margherita pizza was honestly so good. The crust on the pizza is too doughy for my liking. I'm more of a crispy crust kind of gal. Would come back if I'm in the area. ”
