Anyone for a Negroni?

A NEW CICCHETTI and cocktail bar will bring Tuscan flavours to Edinburgh’s New Town.

Ciao will be a stand-alone cicchetti & cocktail bar at Rico’s Ristorante on North Castle Street. The new bar will celebrate Italy’s well-known cocktail - The Negroni - as well as the country’s more informal dining style with Cicchetti served all day with an affordable lunch menu.

A classic Negroni may be more familiar (equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, with an orange slice or twist for garnish), but other effervescent versions will be a party starter before a sophisticated dinner or the perfect foil for generous Italian bar snacks.

Ciao will provide guests with an assortment of Italian aperitivo style and crafted cocktails, including a full negroni list with a variety to choose from.

Set to open in November, Ciao promises to breathe life into the capital’s food and cocktail scene.
