Cicio Cacio Osteria Newtown

A traditional Italian Osteria where Giulio Ricatti cook for you Roman and southern Italy iconic dish

We opened our little magic Osteria in Newtown in August 2014 to give people of Wellington a sample of humble, affordable and deeply authentic Italian food. By being an “Osteria” we mean that you are not coming to our restaurant, you are coming to our home. We will light candles and fire, pour wine and play music, and as Baudelaire would have said: “We will boil and serve our own heart”.
