cheese 🧀

Opted for baked raclette cheese ($18++), although staff recommended the burrata! The shaving of warm savoury cheese is topped with paprika, which lent a hint of spice. The olives and onion marmalade balanced it with acidity and sweetness!

This starter is perhaps the most highly raved dish from Cicheti - it certainly lives up to the hype, and embodies the heart of Italian cuisine. Burratina ($24++) features a sphere of burrata, its mozzarella shell giving way to creamy goodness. The cheese is delicate and fragrant, pairing well with the toasted sourdough. It was complemented by savoury pesto and sweet onion jam, with a hint of saltiness from the pistachio topping! Would love to have a larger portion, but the quality of each component far surpassed my expectations 🌟 Cicheti also boasts of an extensive wine collection - we particularly liked their Italian Merlot!
