About Ciccio Cincin
Ciccio Cincin on Washington Street in the West Village is an easy book by neighborhood standards, with outdoor seating that makes it worth returning to specifically in warm weather. The West Village block is one of the better street-level settings in Lower Manhattan for an unhurried evening. Verify current pricing and hours directly before visiting.
Quick Verdict
Ciccio Cincin sits at 681 Washington St in the West Village, a neighborhood where the outdoor seating game is serious and the competition for good warm-weather tables is real. If you're returning after a first visit, the outdoor or terrace space is the reason to come back specifically — the West Village block is one of the better street-level settings in Lower Manhattan for an unhurried evening. Booking is easy relative to most venues in this zip code, which puts it ahead of many neighbors on the pure accessibility front.
The Space
The address places Ciccio Cincin on Washington Street in the West Village, a tree-lined stretch that lends itself to the kind of al fresco sitting that makes a two-hour dinner feel justified. For regulars, the outdoor seating is the differentiator: come when the weather cooperates and the street setting does more work than any interior ever could. If you've been once in winter or at the bar inside, scheduling a warm-weather return to take advantage of the exterior positioning is the direct next move. West Village outdoor tables book faster than indoor seats at most comparable spots, so plan accordingly and reserve early in the week for weekend evenings.

For a louder, more energetic date-night option in the same neighborhood, Superbueno is worth comparing.

- What's the crowd like at Ciccio Cincin? The West Village address on Washington St typically draws a local neighborhood crowd alongside out-of-towners who've done their research.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ciccio Cincin good for a date?
Yes — the Washington Street address in the West Village does a lot of the work. The neighborhood's tree-lined, low-key energy makes it a solid pick for a first or second date where you want atmosphere without the pressure of a formal dinner reservation. Outdoor seating on that stretch adds to the appeal. For a more cocktail-forward date night nearby, Amor y Amargo is the comparison to make.
What's the signature drink at Ciccio Cincin?
Specific menu details aren't confirmed in our data, so verify with the venue directly before going in with expectations. What the address and West Village context suggest is a drinks-first operation where the list changes with the room's mood. If a locked-in signature program matters to you, Angel's Share in the East Village offers that with more consistency.
Does Ciccio Cincin have happy hour deals?
Hours and pricing aren't confirmed in our data — call or check with the venue before planning around a deal. West Village bars at this address level don't always run formal happy hours, so don't assume. The Long Island Bar in Brooklyn is a better bet if value-per-drink at a set time is the priority.
What's the crowd like at Ciccio Cincin?
The 681 Washington St location puts it squarely in the West Village's after-work and weekend-evening crowd — neighborhood regulars, industry people, and the occasional date. Expect a relatively low-key mix rather than a destination nightlife scene. It's a different energy from Superbueno or Dirty French, which draw more of a see-and-be-seen crowd.
Is the food good at Ciccio Cincin?
Menu details aren't confirmed in our data, so we can't call specific dishes. What the West Village location does confirm is high baseline competition — venues on this stretch tend to hold their own on food or lose the neighborhood quickly. Verify the current menu directly before booking if food is your primary reason to go, rather than drinks or the outdoor setting.
More bars in New York City
- (SUB)MERCER(SUB)MERCER occupies a basement address on Mercer Street in SoHo, positioning it as a deliberate destination rather than a drop-in. The subterranean format tends to keep ambient noise lower than street-level alternatives, making it a reasonable call for groups of four or more. Book ahead for weekends and confirm group capacity directly with the venue.
- 1 OR 81 OR 8 on DeKalb Avenue is a low-key Fort Greene bar that works best for two people on a weeknight when the room is quiet enough for conversation. Walk-ins are easy, no advance planning required. If a specialist cocktail program is your priority, Attaboy or Amor y Amargo offer more defined experiences — but for a neighbourhood drink without the fuss, this delivers.
- 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar230 Fifth is the easiest rooftop bar in Midtown to walk into, and the Empire State Building views justify the trip. The crowd skews groups and tourists, and the drinks are solid rather than craft-focused. Go early on a weekday for the best version of the experience; after 9 PM on weekends it tips firmly into party-group territory.
- 4 Charles Prime Rib4 Charles Prime Rib is a compact, reservation-required West Village dining room built around a focused prime rib format. It works well for dates and pairs but is too small for groups of four or more. Booking is easy relative to Manhattan peers, and the narrow menu signals a kitchen that executes one thing consistently well.
- 44 & X Hell's KitchenA low-key Hell's Kitchen neighborhood bar-restaurant that earns its place for easy weeknight dates and pre-theatre dinners. Booking is simple, the room is intimate enough for conversation, and there's no dress pressure. Not a cocktail destination, but a reliable, pressure-free option in Midtown West when you want comfort over spectacle.
- 58-22 Myrtle Ave58-22 Myrtle Ave is a low-key Ridgewood neighborhood spot that rewards return visits more than first impressions. Easy to get into, with no reservation headaches, it suits regulars looking for an unpretentious room rather than a structured cocktail program. If a strong drinks list or kitchen ambition matters to you, look to Attaboy or Amor y Amargo instead.
