It won’t be difficult to spot Kate Perry behind the bar at Cicchetti: She’s the one who’s not a guy.

Cicchetti, boozy sibling to Serafina in Eastlake, has a new bartender in the (highly talented) lineup. The Italian cocktail and small plate destination sent along word that Kate Perry, currently tender of the bar at Tango, will be spending her Thursday and Friday nights behind the bar at Cicchetti. She’ll reportedly keep a few shifts over at Tango, the Latin-styled lair of beautiful people at the foot of Capitol Hill.

Cicchetti general manager Rachel Aiken also notes that Perry is a welcome female addition to the all-male bartending team. When you sidle in for a drink, don’t confuse her with the Kate Perry who is the partner at forthcoming Restaurant Bea in Madrona. And let’s not even make the all-too-obvious Katy Perry joke.

Cocktails at the new Cicchetti happy hour are $5.

Cicchetti, the Italian-style snack bar across the courtyard from Serafina (and run by the same people), has started a happy hour. Hooray. It’s Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 7pm. There are seven food items ranging from $1 (Moroccan-spiced popcorn) to $6, (pizza of the day). I like the sound of Greek-style fries with feta yogurt, that’s $4.

Drinkwise, you’ve got processo and house reds and whites for $5, beers for $3, and “premium wells” for $4.50, but most exciting is a $5 list of specialty cocktails. (They make great drinks at Cicchetti and Serafina.)

The drinks are the Isole: vodka, hibiscus syrup, lemon, iced tea; the Gin Bustle: gin, Dubonnet rouge, orange, lemon, orange flower water, prosecco; the Pleasantly Peach: vodka, lillet, peach purée, Angostura bitters; and the Cicchetti Sangria: rosé, Oloroso sherry, grapefruit, lemon, lavender Dry Soda.
