Showed up as a single on a Friday night at 7:30p. Just took a chance. Heard they made a great real Napoli pizza. On biz trip. They were able to get me a seat upstairs at bar. Upstairs has air con. Downstairs not so much. Pizza was great. Almost like Italy. Ambience and service was good. Will be back with colleagues.

The Pasta here are priced at $25 - $50+ , and it may sound very expensive. But I must tell you, the Taste to Price ratio is on point! Food is good when you eat there, but for some reason (as with most food) when you take away, it taste half as good only. So if you want to try this restaurant and want to pay this amount of money, I would suggest eating there. The food is really good and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Well done !

Very nice cozy place with amazing food. Every dish was great! Pizzas fresh from the oven, pasta homemade and al dente.. the beef cheek ravioli (?) with truffle was amazing! And you know a restaurant is doing things right when a person who doesn't eat octopus (me) actually loved their octopus. Surprisingly soft and tender, very well done!

Good service, good food and ambience . What more can you ask for really? Only issue with this place is as per any restaurant in this area - parking which can get rather frustrating circulating and increasing your carbon footprint. We had 3 antipasta i.e the octopus, asparagus and the burratina and they were all wonderful. Octopus nicely grilled and well seasoned with a wonderful charr. asparagus simple yet tasting the freshness of it and of course the creamy burrata. The pastas were also wonderfully done al dente and tasted wonderful. We finished off with wonderful desserts tiramisu (not the best) and profiterole. So really a unpretentious place for a nice simple Italian as long u come early - 5:30pm for the parking. Mar 28th '18 Back again. Glad to report food & service as good as ever the only issue again was the parking. The shark parking summon people just circling waiting to strike at you :). Now what is really surprising is the napoleon pizza is even better than the one we had in Napoli!!!

Based on rave reviews about the brick-oven pizza, I finally got a chance to visit Cicheti. You should definitely call to make a reservation, which can get difficult if you're looking to come at a peak time on the weekends. I came with a friend and shared a Pollo (almond pesto chicken) Pizza as well as a Squid Ink pasta (with crab meat). Both dishes were excellent, well-portioned and a great combination for sharing. I would say that the only thing to make the dinner more excellent is if the Pizza had been hotter when it was served. I've been to restaurants where the brick oven pizza is so fresh that it hurts to hold it in my hand (ie: Alt Pizza at Suntec). For a party of 2 on a Friday night, the bill came out to just over $60 including 10% service charge and GST. Not bad, but considering how busy this place seems to get over the weekends, I think I still prefer to go to Alt for my Pizza!

Real food. Period. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Singapore, as told by many before me. They have a wood-fired oven that makes the pizza really authentic and just so fresh. Everything we've ordered was excellent. I'm a huge fan of those places where their integrity in food shows through from the bread they serve on the side -- they were so well-baked to be crips on the surface and textured just right on the inside. I've had the prawns (4/5) for appetizer -- again very fresh and loved the bread on the side. (good food just don't require much words.) Carbonara pizza (5/5)--excellent, excellent, excellent. I definitely would agree that pizzas are Cicheti's greatest strength. Despite the misconception that carbonara is some creamy, alfredo-like saucy anything, this was an authentic carbonara creation with egg in the middle with caramelized onion that complemented the rich pizza so well. Gnocchi (3/5) on the other hand, was a bit dull. It was good, but not to the standard that was shown through with pizza and the appetizer. I really liked the ricotta bits that were dropped on gnocchi but that was about it. Nothing spectacular. Panna cotta (5/5) -- THE best I've had in Singapore. Generous portion of really well-made panna cotta Chocolate fondant (2/5) -- disappointing. Just overly sweet without much sophistication. Would not recommend. Service was okay. I've been told that I wouldn't be able to grab a seat as a walk-in that easily. So I did make the reservation. However, they really need to work on the speed. I am not talking about the slowness in general (as I do understand that good food can take some time) but the interval at which they brought us our food just left us in a very awkward eating & stopping cycle that did not create a good meal experience. All in all, pizza was super impressive and I loved the restaurant. Will definitely be back.

I was ecstatic to find this little gem in a country where truly great non-Asian cuisine is hard to come by. I've had the pleasure of trying the pizza, the clam pasta, as well as the prawn starter plate, and all the dishes exceeded my expectations. Absolutely delicious and the staff is friendly to boot. Unfortunately, this doesn't cut it as a 5 stars only because of the wait/reservation system. As one other reviewer noted, even when making a reservation, they basically say you have to be out of the restaurant by a certain time and make it a point to re-emphasize the fact while you're there. While this might be a cultural norm in Singapore, I find that incredibly off putting. It's like, hey, I'm a paying customer too. But I'll be back, because their pizza is bomb.com

I absolutely adore this place! I came here as one of the first guests last year right after it opened and I immediately felt in love with it and so did my friends whom I invited afterwards. This place is great in every single aspect you can think of. The location in the Arab Street is very convenient, the ambiance is very friendly, staff is super friendly and polite and the food is just awesome! I can highly recommend their pizzas. It is great to come here with a group of friends and order various items from the menu to be shared. The prices are very reasonable and as such it is a great choice!

The decor and ambiance is outstanding. High quality, but not overdone. Very comfortable, antique style with a few outdoor tables. Food is also top notch. One of the best Neapolitan style pizzas I've had (and I've had many, it's an obsession of mine). I had the bufala margarita, the dough was perfectly cooked in the wood fired oven, which is visible and also adds to the ambiance.
