The coffee, focaccia, and olives were so good! I’ve come here before during the summer and sat in the outside patio. In the colder season now it’s nice and cozy in their indoor space. Really appreciate the calm space. Service is so attentive. I appreciate they seated us even for a quick snack before they closed for a private event. Their pottery is too cute! Apparently made by the owner!

Wow what an awesome little cafe. I had a wonderful flatbread, one of the best ive ever had after touring the museum. Beautiful atmosphere and did not seem terribly overpriced. We also had an amazing espresso cocktail. I will be back with friends.

This is one of Bellingham’s best lunch spots! Consistently excellent service and always delicious food, in a lovely cozy atmosphere. Their take on the BLT is truly amazing!

Portion size is so great (not too big), and I like the wine tasting flight.

Came here for Sunday lunch after seeing good ratings on the reviews but did not anticipate to have to wait over an hour and our main course still did not come. We ordered 2 appies and one pasta. Each appy took 20mins to come. There was only one other table of 4 at the restaurant. Not sure why the food took forever to come. We asked how long our main course would come and we were told that it will be next in line to be baked…. This was after an hour of wait already. Quite disappointing and we ended up hvaing to cancel our pasta because it might take another 30 minutes before its ready? Food was ok but it is unreasonable to wait over an hour just for a main course.

The service was great.
Some of the food was middle of the road, such as the gnocchi. To me, all I tasted was the olive oil. But when we added the panccetta, it made the dish much better. It was my first time eating there so I’m hoping it was just a one off.
The atmosphere is intimate. This is not a big place by any means. The wine selection is nice too, making for a perfect date night.
I would not recommend this place for kiddos.

Fun and hidden gem of a cafe. Nested in the museum the intimate location with a focused and high-quality menu. Had a selection of olives and small plates. The truffle grilled cheese sandwich is amazing. A nice wine list and a range of norther Italian treats. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Loved it. After a few hours of visiting the museum the place was a great end of our visit.

Best meal we’ve had in Bham, and we’ve had some great meals. Gnochetti pasta (homemade) with sundried toms was last-meal worthy. “I don’t want to keep eating, cuz then it will be gone,” she said. Also loved the eggplant panini and the bruschetta. Even the simple house salad was more than the sum of its simple parts. Our server knew a lot, and he was personable and peaceful. We got to talking Italy, and he said he was drawn to working at Bar Cicotti because it’s modeled after the small places in Italy where you can pop in for a glass of wine, espresso, and a delicious bite from a simple menu. He also told a story about one of the wines, a varietal that Italians had thought extinct until they recently discovered it in some guy’s back yard and revived it.

One of our best meals in Bellingham. It was like we were walking into a small cafe in Italy. The food was amazing. You get to see Chef Casey cooking up a Strom in the open kitchen. The chef is very accommodating to your dietry needs.Everyone one was so kind and wonderful. Definitely a keeper for us to keep visiting. We will definitely be back.
