I truly can have a good plate of pasta every day.

Visited Caffe Cicheti recently for the first time since it was rebranded from Fynn’s. Focusing on Italian cuisine while featuring Antipodean brunch favourites from its past, this is a quality, decently priced option for Italian food.

Bavette with lump crab, courgette, shellfish broth, chilli and chives - an umami packed plate of pasta owing to the flavourful shellfish broth and the luscious serving of crab meat. Bavette is similar in shape to linguine. I can’t help but to notice the texture of this particular pasta here having an uncanny resemblance to mee kia cooked al dente. This was amazing and I’d have it again.

The food here lives up to the quality of the Cicheti restaurants and do consider coming here if you’re in the vicinity.
