Cicchetti turn out small, a little larger than a canape, literally 1-2 bites.
This snack is very popular due to its appetizing appearance and abundance of variations. You can make spicy cicchetti if you add a little garlic and hot pepper. You can often find an appetizer with fish - cod, sardines, anchovies or any other fried fish. Cicchetti are served not only with wines, but also with cocktails. Why not throw an Italian party at home?
