Pasta was great. Lamb was great. Just overall a bit more one dimensional so I definitely prefer the pizza. A bit more on the oily side.
$26 & $28 respectively before gst
Okay TLDR just get it you won't regret it (especially the lamb papardelle)
also sorry for the crappy photo
The gnocchi was cooked w forest mushrooms & truffle ricotta. No surprise that it's a pretty lemak dish so I'd recommend it for sharing. But yea the soft sinking texture of the gnocchi pasta and how it soaks up the earthy mushroom sauce is immaculate⚡️
Ok but the true star of the night is the lamb papardelle. It's lamb sugo sauce, which is supposedly more fluid/less chunky than your usual ragu. You've got your tang from the tomato, the smooth depth of GOOD QUALITY EVOO, and of course the chunks of minced lamb that wasn't too gamey. It's got a very "homey" comforting quality to it, which i like. Honestly, this might be my personal fav pasta dish in SG. pls lmk if u disagree, i'm open to discourse
5/5 for papardelle
4/5 for gnocchi just cos i'm not a gnocchi person
Just thinking about this makes my mouth water. The simple, tomato-based sauce really shone. It was flavourful, perfectly herbed and had just the right tartness. The minced lamb was well-seasoned, still oozing meat juices, and had none of that sandy mouthfeel that some minces do. The smooth pliant sheets of papardelle were the perfect vessel for slurping up every last morsel.
Handmade pappardelle with lamb shoulder, $26. The texture of the pappardelle was perfect, complemented by the savory lamb shoulder ragu for a comfort meal indeed.
Pasta (handmade, no less) ribbons tossed in a delicious lamb shoulder ragu and porcini mushrooms, finished with a light sprinkle of pecorino cheese.
Rich and delicious, particularly loved the handmade pappardelle pasta and the slow-braised lamb shoulder ragout. Nuff said, will gladly order this again!

The standout dish of the night - there really is a difference between dried and freshly-made pasta! Kudos to the chef; the noodles were perfectly al dente and springy. The lamb ragu was tender and came apart easily. Would go back just for their pasta.
Really good food and an intimate ambiance makes for a perfect date night. Cicheti (Chi-keh-tee), located along Kandahar St, serves perfect woo-fired pizzas and hearty pastas. Have the Bruschetta to start, then move in the Bismarck, a crispy pizza topped with a gorgeous runny egg, the pappardelle ragu, and the delectable ciopino. The ambiance just right, not too stiff and not too casual, with excellent service.
