We went the day after Valentine’s Day for a late dinner and had a nice time. The place was packed so I would encourage a reservation. Some of the dishes were better than others. The highlights for us were their table bread with the best butter you ever tasted and their wagyu meatballs appetizer. Those alone deserve five stars. However, the lasagna and the lamb chops entree were let downs. Definitely wished we could have enjoyed them. The clam appetizer was fine just a tad bit overdone. We are open to going back, trying some other dishes, and hopefully liking them much better.

Spectacular wine selection and tastefully crafted dishes. Lovely ambience. Perfect for a date night! I should add that I've never tasted shrimp cooked so perfectly.

New restaurant is fantastic. Very open floor plan and much bigger. Great atmosphere. Food and service was very good as well. Definitely recommended. Came back again, great food and service as always.

Our new favorite restaurant! Phenomenal service and extraordinary food! We loved it so much after our first visit we brought the kids back the next weekend so they could enjoy it too! Every dish of the 6 we have tried, plus the two desserts we have had were impeccable! 10/10 recommend!

We hosted a private event at Cibo and the team knocked it out of the park! I communicated a very detailed timeline, individual orders for 26 people and seating arrangements. The team at Cibo was fast, friendly, flexible and had my detailed notes printed upon arrival. Many guests raved about the food, thank for all your help in making our event a great success!! Only critique would be the noise from the kitchen that travels into the private dining space.

I will start by saying, I don’t know much about Italian food. The food was solid and everything was cooked perfectly. I’ve had better, but my husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. We got the wagyu meatball as an appetizer. My husband got the veal special and I got the lobster ravioli. Everything was good but my husband didn’t care for the potatoes that came with his meal. It may have been too much rosemary for his taste. Our server, Johnny, was terrific! He knew everything about the menu and was really helpful with his recommendations, warning us about spiciness in case we had a sensitivity. The atmosphere is industrial and trendy, but the seats are close. We heard the girl next to us complaining the whole time. Before she even got food or drink, she said she wasn’t coming back. 😂 You can’t please everyone, and it goes to show that some people like to complain. I always recommend trying things out yourself. My experience could be very different from the next person’s. I would definitely go back and recommend going back and sitting in Johnny’s section.

First time guest. Atmosphere was very inviting and hostess was very accommodating, no snootiness. Server was quick to greet us. He knew all of the specials. We ordered a frutto di mare and eggplant parmesan. The sauce on both dishes was fantastic. But the rest of the meal was okay, especially given the price. I measure the food in terms of value. Glad I tried it at least once.

My husband and I had a very enjoyable dinner there last night. We were blessed to have JoAnne as a server, who is a fabulous asset to Cibo’s. Wine, dinner and atmosphere were amazing. We went around 5:30pm and it was quiet, the fire was soothing and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend! All the dishes we’ve had were delicious.
