Bar Cichetti First Venetian Wine Bar USA

 



BAR CIHETTI





Daniel Bellino Zwicke is widely recognized as the 
creator of Bar Cichetti, known as "America's First Venetian Wine Bar". It was established in 1998 by Zwicke and Tom Taraci. He served as the chef, wine director, and managing partner. Bar Cichetti aimed to recreate the experience of Venetian bacari (wine bars) in New York City, specializing in Venetian food and Italian wine. Reviews from the time noted its cozy atmosphere and delicious food, with highlights like the spaghetti carbonara and cocktails. 
It's important to note that while Bar Cichetti was a significant part of Bellino Zwicke's career, it is no longer open under his operation. There's a restaurant in New York City currently operating as "Bar Cicchetti by Fabio Viviani" in Chelsea. This is a different establishment and should not be confused with Daniel Bellino Zwicke's original Bar Cichetti.
