Cicchetti has reopened in uptown Charlotte
Cicchetti is back.
The Venetian-style wine bar opened in October 2019 and served uptown customers in the Bank of America Corporate Center for about five months until COVID-19 hit Charlotte.
Now, the sister space to Aria Tuscan Grill — pronounced chee-KEH-tee, if you’re wondering — has reopened with a new entryway and staircase connecting the spaces, created by Shook Kelley design firm and Harker LLC contractors.
“Bringing Cicchetti back is a satisfying and encouraging step forward,” operations manager and Partner Briana Cohen said.
Cicchetti features a wine selection from all around the world, as well as beer, a full bar and cocktails.
The tapas menu — put together by executive chef Alex Piatt with chef de cuisine and fellow Johnson and Wales graduate Kelsey Norgaard — includes a variety of small bites, salads and desserts.
Menu options include polpette (meatballs), with options for beef, crispy salted cod and chicken; a variety of bruschetta; fried oysters with puttanesca aioli; polenta fries with pecorino and black truffle aioli; and octopus with potato and olive and arugula salad.
