Bar Cicchetti is taking a chance on a Downtown space that has seen many restaurants fold over the years. Yet, it has more than a few winning cards in its hand — upscale food, refined service and a beverage program that offers curated wines, specialty cocktails and a strong nod to local microbrews, general manager Justin Celiano said.

The upscale Italian restaurant, owned by celebrity chef Fabio Viviani, is located inside the Westin Great Southern Columbus, 310 S. High St. "Everything is fresh and a type of cuisine that is less commonly found among typical Italian restaurants," Celiano said.
