Bar Cicotti

Yes, yes, and yes. The food, wine, and ambiance will have you returning for more. The sandwiches are the best I've ever had. I highly recommend the Cicotti BLT, the Meatball sandwich, and the Truffle Grilled Cheese.

Cute little place. We had a fantastic server and she took the time to answer our questions. The dishes we ordered and shared were all delicious. On a nice day, there is ample outdoor seating, otherwise the indoor space is small but very comfortable.

I had a fantastic cinnamon coffee and it was probably the best cup of coffee I have ever had. The service is great here and is more like a fine dinning experience than you would expect. The meatball sandwiches are amazing. It is spendy but worth it.

While on jury duty, ran into an old neighbor (!)Also on jury duty. Both of us unfamiliar with the downtown area. In search of a warm, safe place to have a bite,we stumbled upon Bar Cicotti . Officially it's a wine and coffee bar but on Their menu we found some pasta dishes, sandwiches and even soup. Asher was our charming waiter. Even though we ultimately only ordered one sandwich to share and coffees, he treated us regally. It was so quaint and cozy.. so many details in the decorations. If you are ever downtown and need a sweet refuge, it is here!

The food was amazing and when you're done eating your food, you always can stop by the museum. And the service was amazing. The food came so fast like say the waiter was the flash that's how fast it was. And the vibe of this place was amazing like everything was amazing. They have beautiful lights everywhere. The tables are perfect and if you like sit in that like a bar, they got a perfect bar outside in the sun. went with my mother for happy hour!

Is it a coffee shop? Is it a cafe? Is it a wine bar? It's all of the above. What a great addition to our downtown Bellingham area.First impression--lots of outside seating area. Second impression-- lots of wine bottles to try.Ordered their meatball subs ($7) with an order of their apple pudding and a cannoli. The sandwich was delicious but my favorite would be the dessert. Will definitely have to go back for another cannoli and this time with a cup of their roasted coffee.Would also love to check out a few of their wine by the glass selection. Their wine menu is the largest I have ever seen. They have over 30+ reds and about 30+ whites. I was told you could do a tasting before you order your wine of choice.

Fantastic little place! Italian deviled eggs had a nice hint of heat, pea/asparagus soup was delish, and the truffle grilled cheese was ooey gooey goodness. My only complaint was about another patron (apparently the Director of the museum...she made it known). She was quite rude to the staff!

This amazing little cafe is hidden inside the Lightcatcher building. It faces the courtyard next to the beautiful glass wall and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We came after visiting the FIG with our kiddos. No high chairs but we made do. Our daughter loved the Bombolini and running around the courtyard! The food was excellent - I would expect nothing less from the same owners as Storia Cucina. Pick from sandwiches, salads, pastas, meat and cheese platters, and other snacks. They also have a great selection of beverages, including wine, beer, cider, cocktails, and mocktails. Will definitely be back!

We always love our time at Bar Cicotti, and last night was particularly wonderful. It's always easy to rave about wonderful food, yet often it is the serving staff who make an experience what it is. Victoria, Meg and Asher--in order of appearance--were incredible! My guy has some physical challenges. With hardly a word, Victoria set about hoisting (heavy) chairs to ensure his comfort. It would have been easy to send us to that particular table where the chairs were, but the original one she chose for us had lovely greenery (Ginko Biloba tree!) and pleasant ambience, so she truly went above and beyond. Meg materialized next, and we started peppering her with questions. She confessed she was new--and she was determined to help us and gave us wonderful advice, as did Asher who was helpful to us in a special way as well. When we ordered the linguine al limone, he apologized that they had served the last helping. As we were reconsidering our options, he jetted to the kitchen and returned. "If you don't mind waiting thirty minutes..." he said. We did and, as it turned out, he knew this would be of some cost to him as he was delayed being able to clock out which he had been eager to do. He also did us a second special kindness. So we could have eaten porridge with sticks in it--the staff made our evening!And fortunately, we had much, much better than porridge and sticks! We, though only two, sampled a huge number of dishes--each five stars and beyond: Italian deviled eggs; stuffed mushrooms with pesto and a lovely, flavorful arugula salad; the aforementioned linguine al limone which was to die for; margherita flatbread which was to my liking--not too much of anything, but perfect amount for maximal flavor; Italian roasted shrimp in olive oil and seasonings that was so delicious that I asked for a spoon to get it all; and, lovely olive oil cake. My understanding is that Chef Aeyre was on. The staff clearly loved and praised her. We were so fortunately to be the lucky recipients of her talents. The wines were lovely; the atmosphere too. Plus we enjoyed the sweetness of a customer's dog. It was--in all--a divine experience. Just divine...

Stopped in for a quick lunch before we hit the border to head home. This place is truly a hidden gem next to / kind of in the same building as the Bellingham Museum. I had the gnocchietti (I've probably spelled it wrong) and it was absolute bliss. The serving sizes were fairly large too, so I have lunch for the next day! Hubs had the Italian meatball sandwich & said it didn't disappoint. The bun was crispy on the outside & soft and chewy on the inside. The Italian meatballs were spiced to perfection.I'd definitely add the place to my list of go-to spots anytime I'm in the area! It's not quite patio season, but I can't wait to enjoy their courtyard! Our server was lovely, and very attentive. The overall vibe of this place is spot on.
