Where to for First Dates 💌🥰

After trying many restaurants, I think the perfect first date spot really comes down to 3 things: 🌹romantic ambience, 💬 a quiet space where conversations can flow, and 🍽️ food that makes the experience memorable — and this restaurant checks all the boxes.

Introducing… Cicheti!

📍 52 Kandahar St, Singapore 198901

A cosy Italian spot that feels romantic without being too formal. Perfect for conversations, getting to know someone, and spending hours over good food!

What we ordered:

🍕 Quattro Formaggi + Greek Honey

A must-try for cheese lovers! The pizza was rich and creamy with a perfect balance of savoury and sweet. The honey drizzle added a subtle sweetness that complemented the strong cheese flavours without being overpowering.

🥩 Manzo

The wagyu was absolutely tender and juicy! Paired with the crispy herb potatoes and tangy balsamic glaze, every bite was comforting yet not too heavy.

🐟 Chargrilled Branzino

A light and refreshing dish with tender, flaky fish and a subtle smoky char from the grill. The lemon and Sicilian flavours added a nice tangy touch, making it a well-balanced dish.

🍫 Lava Cake + Vanilla Ice Cream

A warm, indulgent dessert with a rich chocolate centre that paired perfectly with the cold, creamy vanilla ice cream. The kind of dessert that’s made for sharing (or not 🤭).

Rating for a first date:

🌙 Ambience: 9/10

🔊 Noise level: 8/10 (easy to chat!)

🍽️ Food: 9/10

Saving this one for date nights ✨

Cicheti
6/20 Edited to

... Read moreFrom my own experiences exploring date venues, I’ve found that a great first date spot strikes a delicate balance between atmosphere, noise, and food quality—just like Cicheti. One thing I especially appreciate about Cicheti is the cosy yet relaxed Italian setting that invites meaningful conversations without the pressure of formality. It’s rare to find a place where you can genuinely connect, and this venue’s quiet environment supports exactly that. I also really love how their menu combines familiar Italian classics with unique twists, such as the Quattro Formaggi pizza drizzled with Greek honey — blending savory and sweet in a way that delights cheese lovers and sparks conversation about the flavors. The Manzo wagyu with balsamic glaze and crispy herb potatoes offers a rich yet balanced bite, perfect for impressing your date with a sumptuous but approachable dish. Meanwhile, the Chargrilled Branzino provides a lighter option that still feels special thanks to its smoky notes and lemony Sicilian flavors. Finally, sharing the warm lava cake with vanilla ice cream is such a cozy, indulgent moment that’s perfect for breaking the ice or adding a sweet ending to your evening. If you’re searching for a first date location in Singapore that delivers on ambience, an intimate yet lively soundscape, and food that leaves a lasting impression, Cicheti is definitely worth considering. It’s these thoughtful details that transform a simple dinner into a memorable experience and help foster genuine connection.
