About CHICCI

This Kew favourite hits the spot with blistered, wood-fired crusts, house-made pastas, and a warm family-run greeting right by the High Street tram. Regulars swear by the thin, chewy pizzas pulled straight from the open oven—spotted with smoky char—alongside rich plates of handmade gnocchi. On Friday nights, live accordion tunes fill the dining room, while bowls of saucy meatballs land on tables alongside fresh, fire-baked bread.

  • Wood-Fired Pizza: Baked in an on-site wood oven for a light, chewy crust with a gentle smoky char.
  • Handmade Pasta & Gnocchi: Traditional pasta dishes and layered lasagne prepared fresh in-house.
  • Live Accordion Evenings: Friday night dinners feature live acoustic accordion performances and singing.
