At kilometer 9 of Carretera Sur, in Managua, you will find this unique and comfortable restaurant. The amusing name, which gives personality to the place, is shared with its flagship dish, the Chik Chak, which is inspired by the onomatopoetic ‘chik-chak’ produced by the sound of its preparation.
The simple, yet elegant menu goes perfectly with the restaurant’s charming atmosphere making it an intimate place to spend an evening surrounded by soft lamp light and decorated with colorful bottles.
The proprietor and man behind the idea, Mr. Francesco Sensidoni Argüello, who’s always attentive of his guests and of the restaurant itself, offers family recipes of commonly known Italian dishes with surprising and clever twists. The cuisine is recognized for its mixture of fresh ingredients and meticulous presentation.
Open in the mornings, Chik Chak is in the words of Sensidoni Argüello, “like an Italian fritanga with excellent prices, a warm and friendly environment and an European style bar.”
Address: Carretera Sur, kilometer 9, detrás de la Esso Nejapa, Managua
