Casa Cicheti

The Cicheti Group is behind some of our favourite Italian concepts, from Cicheti and Forma to wine-haven Bar Cicheti, and Wild Child Pizzette for lovers of gourmet slices. This month, it welcomes a new cosy trattoria to the group, nestled within the charming Tiong Bahru. Promising “Neopolitan but not really” pizzas, Casa Cicheti fires up a unique rendition that it calls ‘Nea-Romana’ (from $23). These pizzas sport a traditional Roman-style rectangular shape and crispy crust, but come in classic Neapolitan flavours like marinara, margherita, stracciatella, and more. The pizza dough is crafted with a trio of flours including finely milled 00 to earthy rye, and is then left to ferment for over 60 hours to deepen its flavours. Like other Cicheti concepts, expect to slurp up freshly-made pasta, from squid ink spaghetti with cuttlefish and pecorino ($29) to rigatoni tossed in pink sauce, chilli vodka and nduja ($29).
