Bar Cicotti - Restaurant in Bellingham - flora, 202 Grand Ave, USA

The service was great. Some of the food was middle of the road, such as the gnocchi. To me, all I tasted was the olive oil. But when we added the panccetta, it made the dish much better. It was my first time eating there so I'm hoping it was just a one off. The atmosphere is intimate. This is not a big place by any means. The wine selection is nice too, making for a perfect date night. I would not recommend this place for kiddos.

When my mushroom pasta arrived with ONE single mushroom quartered and elegantly positioned over creamy pasta, I was taken aback by the audacity. It takes some nerve to call that mushroom pasta and charge $19 at lunchtime. Still, the atmosphere took me back to Italy. It is lovely in there and you can see the chef cooking just steps from your table. But looks aren't everything. In order to earn my business again they will need to get more generous with their servings. Even the cheese on my daughter's kid pasta was stingy. I think it was about $12 for a small plate of noodles with a dash of cream and maybe a HALF tablespoon of cheese. I mean, really stingy. Also, why no meat on the kids menu? Have you ever contemplated that by being stingy with children, you are literally affecting their growth? The house-made focaccia with tomato sauce was incredible so they may have some other winners, and the wine looked well chosen. Chocolate chip cookie was pretty good too. Service nice, but in a superficial way.

Unexpected awesomeness! Stopped in for an afternoon espresso, but got this beautiful and tasty cookie and a delightful escape at their quiet outdoor seating. And super friendly service!! Thank you!

Really cute space next to the museum. Service was great!! The food unfortunately lacked, pricey for what it was, but they had a nice beer and wine selection. And daily specials. Their sister restaurant seemed to have a higher caliber option but it’s always so busy, this is a nice quiet spot. Lots of patio seating!

One of our best meals in Bellingham. It was like we were walking into a small cafe in Italy. The food was amazing. You get to see Chef Casey cooking up a Strom in the open kitchen. The chef is very accommodating to your dietry needs.Everyone one was so kind and wonderful. Definitely a keeper for us to keep visiting. We will definitely be back.

Best meal we've had in Bham, and we've had some great meals. Gnochetti pasta (homemade) with sundried toms was last-meal worthy. "I don't want to keep eating, cuz then it will be gone," she said. Also loved the eggplant panini and the bruschetta. Even the simple house salad was more than the sum of its simple parts. Our server knew a lot, and he was personable and peaceful. We got to talking Italy, and he said he was drawn to working at Bar Cicotti because it's modeled after the small places in Italy where you can pop in for a glass of wine, espresso, and a delicious bite from a simple menu. He also told a story about one of the wines, a varietal that Italians had thought extinct until they recently discovered it in some guy's back yard and revived it.

I got one of the specials, which was their take on a blt. Good lord. the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time, easily the best I’ve had in bham. My server told me they might give it a permanent spot on the menu, I pray that they do because wow have they really nailed it with this one. Great cozy atmosphere as well, my server was very friendly. Not much of a wine guy but they seem to have a decent selection. Will definitely be returning.

Bar Cicotti is exactly what Bellingham was waiting for. It offers great wine and tasty bites in a relaxed atmosphere with vibey vinyl! What more do you want?
