I’m sure I join many other Seattleites in eagerly anticipating the fall 2009 opening of Cicchetti Kitchen & Bar (chi-KET-tee), the Venetian-inpsired snack bar that will adjoin big-sister restaurant Serafina Osteria & Enoteca on Eastlake Avenue East.

According to the Web site, “Cicchetti are the Italian version of the Spanish idea of tapas: small plates of food that can either be eaten as appetizers, or combined (solo or in a group) to form a full-on meal.”

Here’s a link so you can look at updates on Cicchetti’s progress. You can also sign up for e-mail updates.
