At the new Italian hotspot in Glyfada, we enjoy aperitivo that transports us to the charming alleys of Tuscany.

If you had to choose just one cuisine -besides Greek- it would undoubtedly be Italian. Italian cuisine is so closely aligned with our own preferences, yet it is filled with delightful gastronomic surprises that make you crave a perfect spritz, while savoring a complete aperitivo experience.
This unique tradition -rich in Italian flair- comes to life in its finest form at Cicchetti. The new spritzeria in Glyfada specializes in that perfect “bite” you seek to accompany an after-work drink.
It’s no coincidence that behind this culinary gem, which recently opened in the south, is the team from El Catrin and Wynwood. These are people who truly understand how to create memorable dining experiences and have brought back from their travels in Italy all the love, tradition, and recipes of authentic Italian dishes. They also brought along Italian chef Emilio, who curates a menu that takes you on a journey through the Tuscan countryside, with all ingredients sourced exclusively from small producers in Italy.
The result is a menu that offers enough variety to keep you excited with each visit. You can enjoy impressive platters of authentic cheeses and cured meats, paired with handmade bruschettas. The Neapolitan pizza features unexpected combinations that will make you rediscover this classic dish, while the pasta delights with its superior quality -even the simple Cacio e Pepe.
All these dishes pair perfectly with refreshing spritz. The menu invites you to explore not only the classics but also unique recipes like the Cicchetti Spritz and cocktails from southern Italy. Cicchetti has quickly become a beloved new spot in the south.
