One more eatery in Singapore bites the dust this year. Next week, local F&B brand The Cicheti Group will say goodbye to its pioneering wine and pasta bar, Bar Cicheti. This follows closely on the heels of Michelin-starred Esora, which announced its year-end closure just last week.
Bar Cicheti opened its doors in 2018 and has been serving fresh, handmade pasta and wines to the Keong Saik neighbourhood since. It completed a one-month makeover in June last year, sprucing up the space with vibrant maroon walls, vintage posters, warm hanging lights, and a refreshed menu, including a new wine list inspired by classic movies throughout history.
The news of the closure came two weeks ago in a post on the bar’s Instagram page, and while no apparent reasons were given, diners were invited to drop by for Bar Cicheti’s final service at Jiak Chuan Road on October 8.
While this is sad news for regular patrons, not all is lost. You can still get your Italian food fix at one of The Cicheti Group’s many other concepts, including Cicheti at Bugis, Forma at Joo Chiat, Wild Child Pizzette at Boat Quay, as well as the newly opened Casa Cicheti in Tiong Bahru.
And don’t forget, there’s still exactly one more week to drop by before Bar Cicheti’s last day. While you’re there, make sure to order the house-made focaccia ($8), burratina ($24), smoked rigatoni cacio e pepe ($26) and the Sicilian pistachio cream crostata ($20). And of course, a glass of wine for a final toast.
Bar Cicheti is located at 10 Jiak Chuan Rd, Singapore 089264.
