BUT WAIT, WHAT’S A   

CICCHETERIA?

cicchetti are very much like spanish tapas. small plates + TRAmeZZINI That are meant to be ordered in number and shared. the italian spin is cicchetti are served practically all-day. IN THE MORNING. MIDDAY. LATE AFTERNOON. PRACTICALLY ANY TIME IS A GOOD One to eat cicchetti, especially if wine or beer is present. cicchetti are a critical part of venetian bar culture where the cicchetti tradition was born.

We call a place with cicchetti a ciccheteria. warning- THAT might not be real. nevertheless, WE invite you to post up, lay back and enjoy life with us in our ciccheteria.

we hope you’ll find unpretentious italian dining a welcome addition to philly. and, if it isn’t one already, let’s make A ciccheteria a thing.

AND WHAT  ARE TRAMEZZINI? 

WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD?

Translating to “little something in the middle,” tramezzini are an Italian tradition. Keeping with tradition, we bake house-made focaccia, cut them into triangles & load them with tasty fillings. If that sounds a lot like a sandwich, well… it is. Tramezzini are always served on triangular, crustless soft bread with classic ham and cheese, or egg or vegetables in between. It’s the cultural concept of snacking between main meals that’s the twist. Often multiple, different tramezzino are consumed to tide one over at virtually any time of day, typically at a bar with a drink.

We encourage you to snack on our veggie AND PROTEIN tramezzini to your heart’s content.
