From Pirata Group, known for The Optimist and TokyoLima, Pici was co-founded by Manuel Palacio and Christian Talpo with the ethos of generous portions, value for money and no service charge. Italian chef Andrea Viglione heads the open kitchen, where all dishes are prepared from scratch, including the pasta and tomato sauces. He describes the dishes as “real down-to-earth Italian food as it should be”.
