Blending the welcoming charm of a traditional Italian restaurant with the structured elegance of the most notable NYC destinations, Bar Cicchetti by Fabio Viviani will be a perfect addition to the resurgence of the hip central Chelsea neighborhood.
The name itself, meaning “to share,” encourages guests to connect with one another over a reinvented selection of Italian crowd favorites and refined cocktails.
