About Us

Blending the welcoming charm of a traditional Italian restaurant with the structured elegance of the most notable NYC destinations, Bar Cicchetti by Fabio Viviani is 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. Occupying the ground floor of the luxurious new Motto Chelsea hotel, Bar Cicchetti is a rustically refined eatery by celebrity chef, hospitality developer and TV personality Fabio Viviani, offering seasonally inspired dishes, including elevated takes on his favorite comfort food classics, as well as craft beer and cocktails.

Nestled on the ground floor of the newly renovated Motto Chelsea hotel in Chelsea – recently named one of the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in the world by Time Out — Bar Cicchetti spans two floors with a main dining room housing 40 seats and 20 bar seats, while the second floor hosts a plush lounge (40 seats) and bar (9 seats) offering guests a variety of ambiances to choose from during their visit. The 5,000 square foot art deco-inspired space has been outfitted with warm jewel-tones, dark wood, brass and chrome finishes, rich rugs, and velvet textures, cultivating a sexy and approachable environment perfect for all occasions from intimate date nights to large dinners with family and friends.
