Consider Cicchetti off Eastlake

Most of us either know about, or have dined at Serafina's off Eastlake Avenue.  What I didn't realize until recently was the law offices behind this fantastic eatery have been transformed. And what a transformation it is.  Meet Cicchetti.

Consider Cicchetti and it's carrara marble tops, informal dining style, and fanastic low-key atmosphere Serafina's younger-more hip, little brother (or sister! we're not partial). Serving small plates, or tapas, Cicchetti has the refinement of it's older sibling, but brings a more casual sensibility to the table.  Be sure to call ahead. It was packed and reservations are highly recommended. 

Worth checking out - It was delectable. And for what it's worth - the mussels in smoked tomato sauce at Serafina's were everything I remembered. Simply divine.

Cheers!
