My friend and I were in search of more of an upscale location to share some great Italian food and wine, and Cicchetti exceeded these expectations! Sister restaurant to Aria, you may order off both menus. Arriving only an hour before close on a Saturday night, the bar manager was so gracious and kind, offering advice on the food and wine. We stayed right till closing to finish the Dodger game (which he had turned on for us), and could not have had a more wonderful experience – the food, wine, and conversation was top notch! Thank you for a special meal during our Charlotte visit!

This was an absolutely, lovely place. Now, it is a small place so make a reservation before hand, we did and we still had to wait a little while for a table to open up. With that being said, the manager and waitresses were very accommodating making sure we were ok and bringing us wine and if we wanted a little something to eat we could order, but we just wanted to sit at the table before eating. The manager was very friendly and was apologetic and made sure we got a place to sit. Once we got to our table, the food was amazing. They are a wine bar so if you’re going there for dinner they don’t have a lot of BIG plates. They do have some big plates for dinner but mostly small plates and starters. Everything was delicious, great vibes. An all around nice classy place to eat.

First 5 that I think I have given°!! Super cute location and delicious food! Robin was our server and she was lovely! She was attentive, welcoming, knowledgeable and just all around nice!
Parking is a bit of a fuss but once you get there is has a unique vibe combining date night vibes and great after work with coworkers meeting vibe. Close to everything uptown and attached to Aria Restaurant, which is delicious also!
Recommend making a reservation bc it is a smaller location.
Great selection of wines. By bottle or glass!
Hidden gem in Charlotte!

Exceptional Food, Deeply Disappointing Service
The food here is truly excellent, beautifully prepared, flavorful, and memorable. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The kitchen is doing exceptional work.
Unfortunately, the service was abysmal, especially for a restaurant that actively markets itself as the place to dine before symphony, ballet, plays, and other shows (even offering a 10% show discount if you show tickets).
We allowed 90 minutes for dinner and told them upfront that we were headed to a show. After being seated, we waited 15 minutes with no service and had to physically stand up and find someone to help us. We were assigned to Billy, the bartender — and we were his only table.
Over the course of the meal, we had to get up three times for assistance. We have NEVER done this before.
We asked whether our three small plates and one shared entrée could be served over the 90 minutes. We were told no, that there wasn’t time. Yet all dishes arrived at once, with the entrée coming out before the salad and the small plates, and this all took eight minutes. Clearly, there was time to course out the meals if someone wanted to take the time to make that happen. Meanwhile, the table next to us (also attending the same show), with a different server, had their meal served at a proper pace and never once had to get up for service.
When asked if we wanted dessert, we said yes, but no one returned to take the order. After waiting, we walked to the bar to request our check. Fifteen minutes later, we had to stand up again to get our card processed.
This restaurant has the potential to be exceptional. The food absolutely deserves praise. But service that undermines its core marketing promise, particularly for pre-show dining , will drive customers away. I hope management addresses this, because the kitchen deserves better support than what we experienced.

My partner and I don’t often get the chance to enjoy a dinner and a show, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. We were the third table seated just after 5:00 p.m., yet several tables seated after us received their food before we did. After checking the time, it took 50 minutes for my partner’s entrée to arrive.
I had ordered an appetizer as my main course, and it was brought out so early that it was cold by the time my partner’s meal arrived. We asked for it to be warmed, but it was returned still cold.
Additionally, our server never checked back with us, and we had to ask another staff member for drink refills. Overall, the lack of timing and attentiveness made what should have been a special evening quite disappointing.

Had an amazing experience at Cicchetti in Charlotte NC. The space was super cool and the service was fantastic- our server Robin was incredible. There are half-price wine bottles Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays- what an amazing deal. The food was also terrific. We had the antipasto plate, the ricotta bruschetta and the bresaola small plate. They make a really good dirty martini also. Can’t wait to go back.

We dined at Cicchetti’s for Valentines Day and had a wonderful meal! The space is small, but has plenty of elbow room. You will want to make a reservation. It’s connected to Aria. Parking is always a challenge – we parked in Founders Hall parking garage. This is a wine bar, so you should expect wine for drinks. They do have wine inspired cocktails. Quick shout out to Robin, our server. She was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and her recommendations were on point. Speaking of on point – the food was phenomenal! Small plates situation. We tried their version of a charcuterie board and it was amazing. The cheeses were all very tasty and the focaccia bread is to die for! We also tried the gnocchi and chicken parm. They were great as well, but for the lasagna. Might be the best I have ever tried. Overall, very solid!!! Highly recommend!

My wife and I went here for dinner before we went to the theater downtown and we were not disappointed. This was our first visit to Cicchetti. Everything about this place is great. The have a very extensive wine list and drink menu to go along with their great food. Our server (Rudy) who was on loan from the restaurant next door to help out was amazing. My wife and I are currently not drinking alcohol and he went to the restaurant next door to get me a non-alcoholic beer because cicchetti didn’t have any. The tapas here were all delicious but the star of the meal was definitely the dessert. It was a pistachio, strawberry, vanilla ice cream covered in a hardened chocolate and we paired it with some coffees. I can’t wait to go back and try some of their vast selection of wines.

This was a weird experience.
The food was good and drinks were good.
Vibes were off with the servers. One was very standoffish and the other was pretty friendly. It was strange to bounce from the cool one to the very stand offish one.
I’d recommend this place to eat still.

This place is wonderful! The food and service are top-notch. The wine selection is great and the prices are super reasonable. We visited on a Saturday night and I would venture to say they were understaffed. But this rockstar team (including our server, Lucky) made sure everyone’s experience was as perfect. You would never know they were short-handed and everyone was exceptionally polite and professional.
