“Our business remains temporarily closed due to a small fire that occurred on our block. We have been asked to stay closed as a precautionary measure.
“Our sister venue @amaliacicchetti (next door) is OPEN. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding and support. We will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.”
The business is encouraging customers to pay them a visit at their sister venue at 1 Henry Street in the meantime.
They said: “Fancy a little Italian treat this weekend? We’ve got you covered down at @amaliacicchetti — from our twist on the Full English to indulgent Panino and sweet delights. Buon appetito! We’re so sorry to say our sister venue @amalia is still not back open after the fire next door — but we can’t wait to welcome you at Cicchetti in the meantime”.

Amalia recently announced it has received a four out of a five food hygiene rating in the rating after what they described as a “real rollercoaster for our business”.
Owner Miguel Queipo told the ECHO “After our first food hygiene inspection, we made all the changes straight away and applied for a re-score back on Friday, July 1. We were told we’d get re-inspected by Wednesday, October 1, but that date came and went with no visit.”

Miguel added: “The old rating didn’t reflect our true standards. It knocked customer confidence, slowed down trade, and put a big strain on us as a business.
“The good news is we’ve finally had the revisit, and we’re proud to say we’ve been awarded four stars. It’s a huge relief. We honestly can’t thank our amazing customers enough for sticking by us through all this. Their support has kept us going, and we’re so grateful.”
