Cicheti in Cheltenham

Amazing experience, super friendly and knowledgeable about the many wines we ordered. Food was delicious! Will definitely be returning.

We shared the Godfather platter with some added chesses, paired with the wine float, and everything was simply excellent, from the service which included notes on wine tasting and pairing with the food to the quality of everything we ate and drunk. If we lived locally we would be coming back all the time! Thank you!

Wonderful experience, trusted opinion, guided entry to meat and a wonderful flower clad experience. If you want a date that ends in fireworks this is the place for you

We turned up and took a punt but, it was excellent the barman was very helpful and friendly, the cocktails were amazing. Will be going again when in Cheltenham.

Just went in on spec for cocktails and some olives. Prompt friendly service and looked clean and tidy.

For an easy and good value bite and drink go here. The sharing platters (veggie and meat) were good quality and generous. Good wines and fizz too and personal service. Try it!

Came here on a recommendation. Ordered 2 soft drinks and 2 toasted sandwiches - £8 per sandwich, total bill £22. I asked for a cup of hot water and was refused. They brought out a jug that would do one person for milk in their tea and said that's all they could do. Certainly won't be back.

We have just left Cicheti after an absolutely astounding meal. I visited with my mum and partner and Manos went above and beyond to give us a fantastic evening. The atmosphere was wonderful - intimate and relaxed with great music. Manos was on hand at all times and took great pride in the food and drinks he prepared for us. It was service like no other that we have experienced. The food and drinks were delicious, beautifully presented and with real flavour. The tiramisu was phenomenal and a must try after being hand perfected by Manos. Thank you Manos for truly one of the most enjoyable evenings and for being such a genuinely interesting and lovely human! We highly recommend for a drink, nibbles or a meal - it's perfect either way and a real bargain!

You really can’t fault the service at this delightful bistro. The meat and cheese platters were just perfect for sharing. Will definitely be back!

I booked a table for two last-minute for my girlfriends birthday while staying in Cheltenham. The owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. He even put a happy birthday banner up. When we arrived he was the perfect host talking through different meats, cheeses and wines. Incredibly knowledgeable and I will be returning as soon as possible.

WOW, i find it really hard to go somewhere and have a decent charcuterie board, normally they are half heartedly done! But cicheti has got everything right! it’s definately worth a visit, pricing is good, the wine is absolutely divine and the service you couldn’t fault in anyway. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t fault the service or the food! We stopped outside to have a look at the menu and the gentleman explained the tasting boards, we were sold. The food was amazing and he explained everything and recommended a wine to go with!

If you’re expecting something quick don’t bother to come here. But if you want to while an evening away, in a relaxed setting and eat some great cheese, this is the place for you. Service was friendly and gave excellent suggestion on the wine. Now looking for an excuse to go back again and I live in Bristol 🤣

Delicious warm focaccia with mozzarella, sourdough with Brie, lovely coffee, thoroughly recommend, second visit and not disappointed

Excellent NYE spent here. It’s not a restaurant with 3 course! However it is a friendly, good atmosphere establishment with personal service. The sharing platter is substantial with 5 lovely cured/ cooked meats with various jams. Add a wine flight of 4 varieties. Ideal for a light meal.Good value for money in today’s inflated post COVID prices.

I have read the poor reviews and this is NOT the experience we had at this lovely small restaurant. It is very homely and personal and clean. We arrived late for the theatre and had around 30 mins before the performance. The owner pulled out...

Food and wine very good, cocktails - amazing! Extremely pleasant and friendly service in a really good location. If you're out for drinks or romantic evening - that's the great place.

Love this place! Great food, lovely and warm atmosphere, good vibe. Would be coming back to this awesome place for sure, not only to taste more fantastic food, but to enjoy really good service, Manos 5***** Thank you for a lovely evening.

I popped in here for a pre theatre drink a month ago and ordered a £40 bottle of champagne. When the bottle arrived it wasn’t the bottle stated on the menu, it was in fact a Tesco own brand bottle. After speaking with the Manager...

Popped in for brunch and had a fantastic halloumi, pepper and hoummous toastie. Absolutely fantastic and couldn’t fault it. Really flavourful and would definitely come again. If you’re in Cheltenham shopping then definitely pay these a visit!

Popped in today on a trip to Cheltenham. We were the only ones in there at peak lunchtime however it still took 15 minutes for two toasties. Mine was actually one piece of bread cut in half with cheese on top. In my opinion, not...

I never write bad reviews but I was truly shocked but how bad the customer service was today after our visit. We went in for a quick and light birthday lunch as the place looked lovely from the outside. There was 2 members of staff...

We had a cheese sharing platter which included 3 Meats. The highlight was the Mortadella truffle ham and the Prosecco cheese. Manager was very knowledgeable about the food and recommended a lovely white wine pairing with the food Definitely recommended and will be back

We had a mixed meat and cheese platter along with a top quality bottle of wine. Really nice ambience and the staff here work hard to satisfy. Pricing is fair and we will keep coming back when we are in the area.

We had an excellent sharing platter. Everything freshly made for us. Wine was good and they were happy to let us taste the wine to make sure we liked it. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was excellent value We will definitely return The...

Spent a lovely evening here with some friends. The sharing platter is great value and the GM Manos is very fun! The poor lad had to deal with a lady complaining about her large wine (double the size) costing double the price, but didn’t let...

Booked a table as a pre- theatre supper. On arrival the chef/waiter (the only member of staff) took 5 minutes to acknowledge us as continued to prepare food with his back to us. It was not clear that we could not choose from the day...

Had a lovely evening with friends sharing the cheese board. Also treated myself to a tiramisu which was definitely worth it, delicious! Manos was super friendly and we are looking forward to coming back.

Waiter was working alone and was very organised. Simple menu, good experience. He took the time to explain in detail what was on the board. Would visit again!

Manos was working alone and was super organised, managed out expectations explaining he was alone and there would be a delay in ordering. He took the time to explain in detail what was on the board. Great meal, would visit again!

The menu is ok but not great for non meat eaters. Service is a bit haphazard and unfortunately this was blamed on a new member of staff rather than the manager taking responsibility for his team. The large sharing platters look like good value for...

Lovely idea and nice interior. Staff struggling to keep up but still accepting more diners. They answered the phone only to say they were too busy to help the caller right then and they could book on the website. Simple food took twice as long...

After going into Cicheti to book a table for 3 for a special birthday being told they do not open on a Tuesdays I explained it was a 60th and Alex the person I spoke to decided to open for just the 3 of us...

Gorgeous, stylish, little Italian restaurant. My wife and I visited Cheltenham for our wedding anniversary this week and chose Cicheti for our lunch. The staff made us feel very special, the food was excellent and the ambience was perfect. Thank you, hope to see you...

Fantastic find in the centre of Cheltenham, I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was brilliant - a great choice of small dishes wonderfully and simply prepared. Our friend had a sharing platter to himself and we all took the opportunity to sample some...

Stopped for lunch on Sun 2 May and really glad we did. Salami platter fed both of us and the service was spit on. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Will be back next time we visit Cheltenham.

The best wine I have had at a bar/cafe in years.Food good as well.Very pleasant service in a really good spot

So many years walking past wondering and I finally stopped by. Friendliest staff, cocktails and wine all day to die for and delicious snacks. What a great spot hidden in plain site. I will be visiting regularly.. please stop in and have a drink and...

Can't say enough good things about Cicheti, the staff are wonderful and their food and drink are ever better - if you're lucky enough to visit then you have to try their cocktails and tiramisu!

A wonderful authentic Italian restaurant. The platters are amazing quality and enormous. Excellent wine recommendations and reasonably priced.

Well mixed cocktails, fine wine and free olives... not overcrowded.. just right . Would recommend this place for non rushed outdoor food, but bring a blanket!

Great place with friendly and attentive service. Extremely tasty Veg sharing platter with the most tasty fresh ingredients and paired with fabulous wine. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

We like to support independent restaurants in Cheltenham and this place has always provided a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The food is delicious - a wonderful selection of cheeses and salads, a perfect evening meal. The wine is wonderful, I would advise going for whatever the...

Tucked away just along from the Everyman, this wonderful little restaurant is perfect for a light lunch or indulgent dinner. The cheese board contains unusual and delicious cheeses. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the food they provide. Can't wait to go back and...

We visited with our grandsons, on a rainy Sunday lunchtime. Two Godfather platters filled us all, including two teenage boys. There was an excellent selection of Italian meats, breads, salads and accompaniments, served by friendly, knowledgeable staff - we really enjoyed ourselves and will certainly...

Popped to Cheltenham for 24hours and found myself in Cicheti. Two very friendly chaps greeted us at the door and then let us know what various things meant on the menu. In the end we went for a sharing platter, called The Godfather. Loaded with...

We visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon as a couple for lunch/snack selection and a drink. The restaurant was busy inside. We liked the ambience. The friendly hosts gave an explanation of the items on the sharing platter. The vegetarian items were numerous and seasonal....

I came here one Sunday afternoon with my partner after a recommendation from friends. We were looking for a light bite and a place to spend an hour or so, and we’re glad that we stopped by. We ordered the sharing meat and bread platter...

We came across this fine place whilst looking for somewhere for lunch when visiting Cheltenham. What a great surprise, we ordered a sharing platter but combined the meat and cheese options. It was large and a delight both in taste and visually. We had 5...

We opted for Cicheti as we didn't want a heavy, formal dinner. The two guys who served us were friendly and explained about the wine and food that we had. However, there were only 3 choices available from the menu and all were sharing platters....

We called in to Cicheti on a visit to Cheltenham. It is a charming little place and all three staff we saw were busy and attentive to customers whether having a coffee or platter. We had dined earlier so only had lattè coffees but wish...

Loved our visit to this wine bar. Friendly welcome from the two staff at the bar, told we could choose our table being the first reservation that evening, and advised to order at the bar when we were ready. The gentleman serving at the bar...

Lovely little wine bar next to the Regent Street. Went there with my wife for a quick glass before going to the theatre which is just next door. The wine list is quite big so I wasn’t quite sure what to choose but the waiter,...

Booked a table for seven of us for a pre-Christmas celebration. When we arrived in the pouring rain at the time we'd booked, the restaurant wasn't open! The door was locked, and we had to knock to be let in! The restaurant was cold, and...

We found this little place on trip advisor, read reviews ,it was all as reviewed and more, perfect location for pre theatre sharing board and good wine. Start to a perfect evening.

Perfectly Italian - Wonderfully friendly and with simply but amazing food. We had the place to ourselves the day before valentines and can’t believe it wasn’t full after our food was served. An incredible find.

We are blessed with many independents in Cheltenham, who deserve our support. We had lunch in Cicheti on Regent Street this week. It was like being back in Tuscany! A delightful Italian, offering various traditional Italian sandwiches and platters of meat or cheese. We opted...

A great find for a Friday night last minute meal. We had all three types of sharing platters - meat, cheese and vegetarian. While the menu in the evening was not extensive, the food was excellent. The portions were generous, so very good value for...

Excellent wine choice and very knowledgeable staff and the meat sharing platter is fab. A visit is a must

Stopped in last night and am so pleased we did!!!! I can honestly say that the cheese sharing platter we had was probably the best we've had in Cheltenham. Excellent value, beautiful, flavoursome food, very good portions and the quality of everything was exemplary. Great...

Popped in for pre-dinner drinks with daughter and close family. Fantastic little place; great atmosphere; swift and friendly service. Food looked excellent and we really enjoyed our drinks. Looking forward to returning

We had been here twice before on a Friday at 6ish for drinks and the service had been a little slow for somewhere with only a few tables.  I had thought it odd on the second visit that it appeared they only have one member...

Truly spectacular and authentic Italian eatery offering fresh made tasty and very reasonably priced light bite meals with great coffee, teas or wines. The style and atmosphere is terrific. Highly recommended.

Stumbled across this place which is opposite Bills, had a great selection of Italian breads with authentic meats, cheese, tomatoes etc. Freshly ground coffee and good service and lovely environment. Great, small, independent Brasserie. Apparently turns into a wine bar of an evening. Well worth...

We came here on a Friday evening and shared a wine flight and two deli boards. We had such a great time, it was very relaxed, all our food and drinks were explained to us and everything was delicious! We stayed for an extra cocktail...

But no gondolas going by! Having been sucked into places before I thought might be genuine, approached with caution. But no need! This place is the real deal, small plates and boards for groups. Huge selection of wines by the glass, friendly service and comfortable...

We stopped by this fantastic little find on a pleasant sunny afternoon in September. The team could not have been more friendly and helpful. We had a great selection of wines and some snacks (“Cicheti” - hence the name). It was absolutely top notch and...

We were there for lunch yesterday. We chose our food and sat down. We ordered a couple of bruschettas (which were already made) and a board of cold meats. After half an hour, our food hadn't arrived. Considering that it's not cooked food and it's...

Hi visited for the first time today with my friend we had the meat platter as good as you could get even in the best place in Italy, wine was also very good, great welcome and friendly, very clean and good atmosphere will recommend to...

Wow, what lovely food! Popped in and had two small ciabattas. Thank you :) can’t wait to come back. I look forward to booking an evening here with drinks and platters of cheese and meat

We have been meaning to try this place out since we first saw the preparations as we often walk past - we finally did so for lunch. It is an interesting concept of an Italian wine bar serving light bites plus cheese or charcuterie boards....

One of our favourites places in Cheltenham – never fails to disappoint! We went last weekend and had the ‘Godfather’ – a beautiful selection of Italian cold cuts, including parma ham, mortadella with truffle and fennel salami, all delicious. It was served with a variety...

Tried it once. Very nicely decorated, cosy and calm, good style. The food portions were sufficient and varied enough to discover Italian delicacies, with decent prices. Wine and cocktails can be blindly tested. Excellent desserts (tiramisu, cannelés) to conclude our lunch.

Cicheti has only been open a few months, however if you were hoping to get info from their website you’ll be disappointed - still not complete, which is unforgivable in this day and age. It’s a very nice looking bar in very bustling regent street...

We were delighted to happen upon this beautiful cafe bar. The food on display turned out to taste as good as it looked and salads were freshly made for us. The woman behind the bar was helpful and knowledgeable and we loved the decor and...

Found this restaurant while out shopping sat outside on a nice day had the cheeseboard All well presented an explained to us will return 😀

Walked in after spotting palm sugar daiquiri on the menu and wasn't disappointed. The cocktails were lovely, and the cheese board was fabulous! The music was good and not too loud, and the staff were very attentive. They even gave us a free shot of...

Really enjoyed a lunch here last week. Some of the food from the menu wasn’t available so we just had what was there! However it was great for a quick lunch. Lovely glass of wine too. Will be back here with friends.

Just out for a day in Cheltenham and just by chance found this little gem. Service was really friendly and the little lite bits are to die for. I don't understand you have a true Italian deli with really great freshly made Italian dishes and...

I absolutely love this place, it’s got a fantastic wine menu and the staff really know their stuff and are happy to make suggestions if you’re unsure of what to have. The meat and cheese platters are delicious as is the rest of the food....

We discovered this charming wine bar when it first opened staffed by one Italian girl and weren't sure what to expect. However, Cicheti turned out to be a perfect gem serving tiny Italian savouries, bruchettas and 'lite bites' as well as excellent cheese and charcuterie...

Visited Cheltenham for one night and found this wonderful wine bar whilst out in the evening. The service was excellent and both the cheese and meat platters were delicious. Andrew, the owner, was passionate and extremely knowledgeable. He was more than happy to discuss the...

We were looking for a place for a snack when we stumbled upon this gem. 7 white, 7 red, 7 sparkling wines available by the glass and cocktails. We enjoyed the Lugana and Primitivo. Either just drinks or Italian snacks cicheti or meat or cheese...

For some odd reason this tiny little bar has no reviews and we want to change that! For our last night in Cheltenham we wanted something romantic and having honeymooned in Tuscany looked for Italian. Amongst the chains that dominate Cheltenham this little bar sounded...
