Cicio Cacio Osteria is a small Italian restaurant at 167 Riddiford Street in Newtown, Wellington, with its entrance on Wilson Street. The restaurant calls itself an osteria, which it describes as humble Italian food served in a family setting. House-made bread, pasta and sausages are part of the menu, and the menus and wines are written in Italian.
The menu changes every month and follows a different city in Italy, so the dishes shift with each region. The wine list is built around Italian wines, and the restaurant says its wines are chosen to suit a wide range of tastes. Within a kilometre, Open Locally lists one other Italian restaurant, Mediterranean Foods Trattoria & Deli, about 200 metres away in Newtown. The restaurant describes itself as more a home than a business, and it is set up for an easy, relaxed evening.
