Cicio Cacio
Michelin Bib Gourmand
Our verdict
Tucked away in an alley, this welcoming osteria has been serving traditional Italian fare crafted from premium seasonal Kiwi ingredients since 2014. The Italian chef fashions a menu that encompasses regional specialities from across his homeland, including house-made pasta, sausages, sauces and bread. The food is delicious, down-to-earth and authentically Italian. His ricotta and sage ravioli is a priority and the basilico sauce is loaded in savoury depth.
