Cicchetti意思

"Cicchetti" (pronounced [tʃikˈkɛtti]) is a Venetian term that refers to small snacks or side dishes, typically served in traditional "bacari" (wine bars) in Venice, Italy. These snacks are often enjoyed with a glass of wine or a spritz, and they are an important part of the city's culinary culture.

Cicchetti are similar to Spanish tapas or Portuguese petiscos, and they can include a variety of dishes such as small sandwiches, olives, skewered meats or fish, marinated vegetables, and more. They are usually displayed on the counter or on a platter, and customers can choose several to create their own little feast.

Some common cicchetti include:

• Polpette (meatballs)
• Crostini with various toppings (such as anchovies or liver pâté)
• Sarde in saor (sardines marinated in a sweet and sour sauce)
• Baccalà mantecato (creamed cod)
• Mozzarella in carrozza (mozzarella cheese between two slices of bread, fried)
• Fritti (fried snacks, including calamari, zucchini, or artichokes)

Enjoying cicchetti as you explore Venice is a great way to experience the local cuisine and to soak in the atmosphere of the city.
