We made a reservation and were seated quickly. The servers were all very friendly. We received prompt service and ordered from the specials menu. The sweet potato fries that came with the crab cake special were delicious. I had two iced coffees, which were very good, too. The sesame-crusted tuna salad was tasty.

My family and I recently had dinner at Cerveau and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We'd never been to but had heard good things about Pizza Brain and when we read that Cerveau was a new incarnation of that restaurant in the Callowhill neighborhood, we gave it a try. We started our meal by sharing 3 yummy appetizers - Rigatoni Alla Vodka, Cacio E Pepe, & Garlic Parm Fries - and then proceeded to enjoy 2 delicious pizzas - Queenie & Pep Pep Pepperoni. All the food was very flavorful and the different sauces were bursting with fresh ingredients. We also loved the funky artwork and bright paint colors, both of which added to the dining experience in terms of the atmosphere. Needless to say, we'll be back again!

Opening August 18, Bar Cicci (CHEE-CHEE) is an Italian café from James Beard Foundation Award-winning High Street Hospitality Group inspired by their passion for Northern Italian style and Italian "bar" culture. Italian bars serve as a community gathering point starting with espresso in the morning and ending with aperitivi before dinner. By day, guests can expect fresh-baked pastries and breads, focaccia sandwiches, and a menu of espresso-based drinks. Think sweet and savory pastries like maritozzi, cornetti, cannoli morning bun, mortadella croissant, olive sticks, pizza bianca (sandwiches on flatbreads), focaccia sandwiches, etc. As the sun sets, the space transitions into a spirited aperitivo bar, pouring wine and cocktails (negronis and spritz), alongside small bites including cicchetti (delicious Venetian bites that are served with wine) and other snacks.We are offering reservations while saving ample room for walk-ins, book your table with us or walk in anytime. Grazie!
