One the best Italian restaurants we've ever been to. The eggplant pharm is world class. The portions are huge and they made our anniversary one we will never forget. Make your reservations as the place small in size only. read more

Cibo e Beve is a casual, more traditional Italian restaurant located off of Roswell Road. It can be found in a strip-mall along with Food101, Bangkok Thyme, and New York Butcher Shoppe. Parking is ample, as there are many spots in the front and back of the restaurant. We came for dinner, and the atmosphere was very cozy. It took a while for us to be seated, as the restaurant was not too busy, so there was no one at the front, but once we were seated, service did not disappoint. Complimentary bread and oil was brought to our table and we decided to try their carbonara ($24) and brisket canneloni ($25). Our wait on food was average, about 15 minutes, but multiple servers came by to check on us in that short time to refill our drinks and stock our bread. The food was decent, we weren't wow'ed by it, but we certainly enjoyed it. We decided to skip dessert, since their options didn't seem different enough to try - gluten-free chocolate cake, homemade gelato, and tiramisu. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. I probably would not go out of my way to come here, but I would recommend Cibo e Beve especially for a chill night of drinks or even a date. read more

Cibo e Beve (the Italian words for food and drink) is a modern Italian restaurant that opened July 21, 2011 in a Sandy Springs strip mall it shares with sister restaurant Food 101 and Thai restaurant Bangkok Thyme. I've been to Cibo e Beve a couple times and think the food is A-OK. There are some outstanding dishes and service is excellent. Cibo is a nice looking, warm and cozy restaurant. It's perfect for small groups and dates. The largest table at Cibo is a 10-person tall table in the back next to the open kitchen. I recommend sitting at the counter in front of the open kitchen to see (and smell) all the action. Convenient coat and purse hooks are installed throughout the dining room and bar. Between the bar and kitchen is a wood-fired oven for pizza baking. Wood is used extensively in the space, from floor to ceiling, including decoratively stored stacks of chopped wood (presumably used in the oven). Comfy booths and banquettes with pillows round out the rustic-yet-contemporary interior which can get loud when things get busy. My trips to Cibo have been for dinner where the restaurant offers salads (e.g. the Insalata D'Estate includes strawberries, buttermilk dressing, candied pecans, goat cheese) and veggies (e.g. Crispy Brussels), appetizers like Wood-Roasted Oysters and Charred Octopus, pastas, pizzas (including Neapolitan-style pizzas), and traditional and inventive Italian entrees like Chicken Parm, Ossobuco (veal shank), and a "Cibo" burger made with brisket, short rib, and tri-tip. Expect to spend about $10-12 each for most apps and sides and $20-30 each for most pizzas, pastas, and entrees. Cibo uses local, seasonal ingredients and I've noticed the menu change between my visits. The exact items I've listed in this review may not be on the menu during your visit. My top three favorite Cibo dishes: 1. Burrata with tomato tartare, watercress, poppy seed, local honey and balsamic 2. Diver Scallops - corn and fregola salad, cauliflower cream, green apples, fig vincotto 3. Roasted Blue Point Oysters * Honorable mention: Coconut panna cotta, hibiscus-blackberry coulis (dessert) Most recently, I tried the following spread: First Course * Burrata Caprese Style - fresh mozzarella pouches with creamy cheese, local heirloom tomatoes, aged balsamic reduction, basil, EVOO, arugula * Kale Caesar Salad - red Russian kale, creamy Caesar dressing, white anchovies, croutons, Reggiano crisps * Cibo Meatballs - beef & veal meatballs, San Marzano sauce, ricotta Second Course * Rock Shrimp Spaghetti Carrettiera - fresh Florida rock shrimp, spicy San Marzano tomato sauce * Lamb Scottadito - Italian marinated lamb chops, garlic jus * Chicken Marsala - Springer Mountain Chicken, wild mushroom marsala sauce Sides * Roasted Potatoes * Sicilian Style Broccoli * Heirloom Polenta Third Course * Tiramisu * Cannoli * Salted Caramel Gelato Pie with Amarena cherries Once again, the Burrata wins. I can't get enough of its soft, smooth, creamy goodness. It is truly delightful. The Cibo Meatballs were fine. They were big - between the size of a golf ball and baseball. The sauce really brought out the flavor in the beef and veal. The Lamb was my favorite dish of the second course. The on-the-bone meat was tender and tasty. The Chicken Marsala was my least favorite. When it came to the sides, I didn't care much for the Potatoes (rather plain), but the Broccoli and Polenta were terrific. The broccoli was nice and buttered up. I recommend the polenta. It was smooth and velvety. The Gelato Pie was delicious with a plentiful helping of sweet Amarenas. It was the clear-cut winner in the dessert category. Plenty of parking is available at the strip mall. You may have to park behind the building and walk around to the front.

Cibo e Beve exceeded my expectations! The ambiance is cozy and dimly lit. Service was great! Our server was attentive, friendly, answered any questions we had, and gave great recommendations, as this was our first time dining there. Water was refilled promptly and often. We started off with some complimentary bread and olive oil, which was not bad, but nothing special. However, we were all very satisfied with the pastas we ordered! I had the taglierini norcina, which has a rich truffle cream sauce, sausage, and homemade fresh taglierini. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was perfectly seasoned and decadent with no shortage of truffle flavor! The portion was also very generous and I took home half in a to go box. My friends also very much enjoyed their orders of ravioli and veal piccata. Of course we had to try out the desserts. I had the spumoni, as recommended by our server. It was 3 layers of gelato (pistachio, cherry, and chocolate) molded into a ball and covered in a chocolate shell: a great way to end the dinner. The pistachio and cherry were refreshing and the chocolate was rich and dark. All in all, it's priced very fairly, given the quality and quantity of food and friendly service. I'll be bringing family and other friends here! read more

Service was attentive and great. The interior was cute and cozy. I was really looking forward to the food after seeing the restaurant highlighted on an Atlanta Eats episode. However, I was so disappointed. Chicken Parm had a great presentation, but was tasteless. The red sauce in the bed of pasta on which it was served was tasteless, too. In contrast, my dining partner had Taglierini Norcini. It was very rich with a slightly strong lingering truffle presence. I'm glad that I tried the restaurant, but will choose other options in the future for Italian dining read more

Nice restaurant with date like ambience. Not too loud. There are also seats outside as well. The place has a romantic feel to it but also a venue to hang out with friends after work. I came around dinner time on a weekday and was seated immediately. There were plenty of empty seats. If you are inclined, sit near the kitchen to observe the cooks working. Gluten free lasagna- nothing fantastical or memorable. Parking in front was packed but plentiful in the back. read more

Great meal. Quaint atmosphere. Outstanding service. Food was exceptional. I will be back.

I'm so glad I finally made it here!!! I absolutely loved the ambiance, I sat outside due to COVID-19 but it was perfect. My waitress was Tina and when I say she was so funny, sweet and just amazing!! She was attentive but not over bearing at all. The owner came outside and checked on us twice!! That is AMAZING customer service. We ordered the crispy Brussel sprouts to start with they were good but needed a little more olive oil and my poached egg was way over done and for my entree I had their signature Lobster pasta and it was spot on and absolutely delish!!! It was full of flavor and tons of Lobster. I will definitely return for sure!! read more

Service was great! Me and my friend came on a Monday night so it wasn't busy at all. The server suggested we get the octopus over calamari for our appetizer so we did. We were wary but wanted to try something different, and the server even told us that if we didn't like it, he'd get us something else! And surely, we didn't like it, so he got us calamari instead!! Calamari had a sweet bed of sauce underneath and served with a side of marinara. I ordered the diablo pizza which had a kick of spice in it. It was huge! I ate 2 slices and was done. My friend ordered the chicken parm. Not bad. Give it a try if you're in the mood for Italian. read more

"Come on, man. It's some pretty serious spaghetti." -- The Walking Dead: Season 5 | Episode 13 I have been a long time fan of Chef Linda and this review is long overdue. I've come to this restaurant easily, a dozen times. Lunches, dinners, special occasions, casual drops ins and it has always been spectacular. You wouldn't expect it - not in a little strip mall setting, but give it a shot anyway. Parking can be a challenge, especially on a busy night, so consider Uber or Lyft. When you are seated, order the burrata (a Chef Linda special) and the crispy Brussel sprouts and you won't be disappointed - but don't over eat as an amazing meal is coming for you. The atmosphere can be louder on a busy evening, but the darker lighting definitely sets the mood appropriately. My favorite entree has always been the lasagna, but it is not always available and Chef has removed it from time to time - so be prepared for it to not be available. Her carbonara is rich and flavorable, but not for the faint of taste buds. It may be one of the richest I have had - sinful to be honest. But worth every calorie. As for dessert, well it is tough for me to eat dessert here as most items have tree nuts. I have only had the Tiramisu - a delicious version, to be sure. My friends rave about the gelato pie and come here exclusively to eat it - so I recommend it by reputation alone. You won't be disappointed coming to CeB or eating Chef Linda's fares - give a go and enjoy the taste sensations. read more

I went here to use a 2-for-1 BOGO deal in the 2016-2017 Dining Out Atlanta Passbook, so I knew I had to order an entree to get the most bang for my buck. Complimentary bread was nothing special. As an appetizer, I got the roasted cauliflower with marscapone cheese, honey and pine nuts. It was good, and unique because I've never had cauliflower served this way. Loved it! I only wish the portion was a bit bigger, but it's ok, because I had to save room for... Rigatoni. They had me at eggplant for this one. This dish is not marked as vegetarian, but it is, and you can double check with the server. The menu listed tomato sauce, which sounded boring, so I asked the waitress to try to amp it up, and they did. The dish I was served was rich and flavorful, maybe even with a HINT of sweetness, but I didn't mind. My guess is that they added some cream to the dish so that the sauce would not be too tomato-y. My husband ordered a lasagna (not vegetarian) and he loved it. Ambiance also pretty cool. Other veggie options here: Margherita pizza, tartufo mushroom pizza, butternut squash risotto. read more

We showed up 30 minutes before closing & stayed till 15 minutes after. Jonathan has a bright personality & first impressions are extremely important. He starts the experience off on the right foot. Our server, naomi, had a great personality as well. She has been here for 3 years & she seemed to really like her position @ the establishment. Calamari was superb. Pappardelle with mushrooms was a fan favorite ! & it came with an egg yolk. I never had pasta with an egg in it. Only pasta made with egg. It's almost as if it's an additional sauce to pair with the current sauce. My girl enjoyed the salmon with risotto & baby spinach. We didn't save room for dessert, because the food was too good. I don't have anything to complain about. The bathroom was clean & tidy. It was all around a nice night. Atmosphere: 9 | 10 Service: 9 | 10 Food: 9 | 10 read more

Cibo e Beve - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

So sad...We have been coming to Cibo since the very very beginning. The last few times it had been so mediocre that we took a year off. We went last night and sat at the bar with Charlie. She was friendly at first, but was not attentive at all, and gave us an annoyed look when we reminded her for the parmesan that we had asked for seven minutes prior. Then, proceeded to ignore us until check time. But the real tragedy is the food... It used to be so wonderful. We started with the Tuscan bean and Kale soup...no kidding, it tasted like the broth was water perhaps flavored with a bit of ham. Almost no taste at all. The Caesar salad was dry so we asked for more dressing. The meatballs, although tender, had almost no flavor. And the chicken Parm, well, I've had better on airplanes...What in the world has happened? We had to coat everything with salt pepper and parmesan...Such a beautiful, cozy restaurant...I just can't imagine what has happened?! read more

Not sure where all the great reviews are coming from.....I guess people really don't know what great Italian food tastes like. The renowned meatballs are average at best. There was almost no flavor other than the sauce and all the salt I added and the texture was not very desirable. I sent the veal parmigiana back...over cooked and flavorless, at $37.00 it does not stand up to most Italian restaurants. Great veal parmigiana on the bone is available up the street at il Giallo for less money. Sorry...I never write reviews but in this case this restaurant deserves an accurate review. read more

HIt and misses. I looooooved the lobster pasta and the charred octopus. But some of the pasta dishes were so dry and tasteless like the Radiatori alla vodka. Would give it a 3.5 for inconsistency. read more

The manager Sean is absolutely the best, 5 star customer service! I came to Cibo e Beve on a Thursday night for dinner with the family. It's the holidays so it was a little busy, so I recommend making dinner reservations, but we were able to snag a table with no wait. 1. The restaurant is very cute and intimate, great ambiance. 2. Extensive wine collection, and holiday cocktail specials. I recommend the Pumpkin Spice Mule, very good. 3. The manager recommended the lobster pasta, and it was just as good as he described it. The salmon was also phenomenal. Service was awesome, food was good, definitely plan on coming back. read more

Will never return. The bartender Charlie treated me and my daughter like we were non-existent. We've literally been here 30 minutes and can't even get a slice of bread. My lemon martini was disgusting. She had conversation with every patron at the bar but us. I work to hard to spend my money at an establishment that doesn't think I deserve be greeted or even acknowledged. read more

This place is delicious. Recently moved just down the street and figured I'd give it a try on a Friday night. Sat at the bar and loved the service from the bartender, Jennifer. She was knowledgeable about the menu and tended to our every need. We had the meat and cheese board for an app and it was very well presented and tasted delicious. Only thing lacking is it could use more bread. For an entree, I had the carbonara. I don't care how much anyone recommends another menu item, I'm getting this every time. It was amazing. Update: we returned and it seems as though this place has gone downhill. This time we sat in the dining room and they cram you in here to the point where you are sitting on top of the tables next to you. It was a bit awkward to have conversation as you could hear the tables next to you and you knew they could hear everything you say. The food was also not as good as we remembered before. I had the carbonara again and it just wasn't amazing this time. Not bad, but not good. There was also a good runner that kept getting the tables mixed up. He brought someone else's food for appetizer, dinner, and desert. Then they brought us the wrong check when trying to pay the bill. My biggest complaint is the overcrowding. It's hard to enjoy a meal when you're right on top of your neighbors. You could barely get in or out of the booths on the wall because the tables were so close. The owner did come speak to us as I think he knew we had a bad experience. We will try it again because it's so close to our apartment, and I'm really hoping the next experience is much better. read more

Although the service and atmosphere were good, the food left a little to be desired. I have read other reviews and I am not sure these folks have any idea what good food is. I heard alot about their meatballs and to be honest they were not that good. They lacked seasoning and the texture was not what I expected. The caprese salad was good. We got a pizza to share and it was so heavy with arugula that you couldn't even see the rest of the pizza. Overall, I would not go back anytime soon. read more

Saw this spot in the atlanta eats show, thought I'd give it a while. My wife and I were extremely pleased. Not only was our server Naomi, fantastic for the entire experience, the food followed the same trend. I had the chicken parm sandwich and my wife had the ahi tuna sandwich. Both were delicious and nicely portioned. The Caesar salad option was crisp, fresh and pleasantly peppered. My wife had the ahi tuna sandwich and expressed it to be one of the best meals she's had in quite a while. Together we shared the brussel sprouts appetizer. Though we asked for no bacon the Parmesan cheese and poached egg on top made the dish delectable. Highly recommended. This spot is cozy, classy and comforting. The prices are enough to keep the Bank in tact but feel like you're dining out at an expensive spot. If you're in the area drop in and ask for Naomi, grab the brussel sprouts and enjoy every flavor coming your way. read more

Glad our friends knew about this cozy place tucked away in Sandy Springs. Portions were large for lunch and the diverse menu satisfied our entire party. The chicken pasta dish (sorry can't remember the name) was tasty and filling, flavorful and perfect consistency of everything required in an Italian dish. Extra cheese? Mmmhm. My friend raves about the the parmigiana, so this time she tried the sandwich and ended up asking for more sauce because it's a little drier with bread versus noodles. Even the salads were good, although you won't catch me partaking in one of those at an Italian restaurant unless it's a Caesar in advance of something hearty with meat and cheese. And speaking of meat and cheese, the bolognese looked great and my colleague enjoyed as well. Southern compatibility update: no sweet tea, but they had simple syrup, so that's even better. I'll return when I can, and look forward to it. read more

We love this place now. Our first two times we were not super impressed (that was about two years ago), but recently we've been a few times and the service and food are highly recommended.

Came here on a date night, and we liked it. Decent parking, nice atmosphere and decor (as an interior designer, I have a few notes on lighting and booths, but that's a whole different review). Service was amazing- friendly and speedy, and the food was also pretty good, albeit not amazing: -Meatballs: a big enough portion to count as a meal, and they were delicious with the bread served, and the mozzarella on top of them was truly delicious. The meatballs were decent, but I wish we had tried another -Carbonara: I was so excited for this, but it was disappointing. The noodles were delicious, but the sauce wasn't good. Within a few minutes of arrival, it had congealed significantly (it was almost inedible leftover). Head to Bellina at Ponce City Market for the gold standard of carbonara in Atlanta. -Brisket canneloni: My husband really liked it. I didn't try it, but he was pleased with his order, and there wasn't any left over! -Butter Pecan Gelato Pie: Amazing crust- the bacon is subtle but perfect. Unfortunately, the gelato was a little gritty. Overall, it was worth going, but I don't think we would go again read more

Welcoming at the entrance by the owener was nice. Service was great and friendly. Nice little local restaurant that I was looking for. Chiabatta was so fresh and tasty. I had a signature lobster spaghetti which had a great flavor and lightly sauced. It was a bit salty to my taste, but still I enjoyed very much and would like to have it again! My friend ordered chicken sandwitch and cesar salade. I tasted a bite and those were also very tasty except somewhat salty. If I remember to request 'less salty' next time, I'n sure I'll enjoy so much for their fresh dishes, very much. Absolutely I'll be happy to come back! read more

Oh Cibo, how I love thee! My very first visit here was thanks to a very special Yelp Gold Elite dinner in May 2014, thanks to Chef Linda and Ben G. It was a 14 course dinner that left everyone at the event super full and satisfied. It was nice to get a sneak peak at all the new dishes that were being introduced to the menu that season. This event was when I discovered BURRATA cheese. Wow....words cannot express how much I love the creaminess of burrata cheese and Chef Linda and her team prepares the dish perfectly. The restaurant itself is cozy and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's always a good sign when they are busy throughout the entire week. I was able to visit Cibo last month with 10 of my lovely friends and we were lucky enough to sit at the Chef's table that night. Ryan was a fantastic server. He took great care of us. His energy and ability to make recommendations and accommodate all of us at one time was quite impressive. He was attentive and made sure our dining experience rocked. Thank you Ryan for being such a great server that night! We started out with the grilled brussels sprouts and sausage and peppers appetizers for the table. The grilled brussels sprouts is one of my favorite appetizers there next to the burrata cheese. It's topped with a soft boiled egg and grilled to perfection! The sausage and peppers appetizer was quite tasty. The sausages were cooked well and it was the right about of spice. I had to personally order the lasagna that night because I liked the idea of Chef Linda using two kinds of meat. Coincidentally, I haven't had lasagna in ages so really enjoyed my order. The lasagna was soft, creamy and the seasoning was just right. Other fan favorites from the table were the lamp chops, shrimp risotto and the wild salmon dish. I definitely want to return and try the Cibo burger soon! I'm looking forward to our "girl's night out" dinner later this month and can't wait to introduce new friends to this lovely restaurant. HUGE shout out to Chef Linda for making sure my 10 lovely friends got a chance to try her famous burrata cheese dish and the amazing gelato pie that is not always on the menu. All my friends enjoyed their very first visit to "Cibo" and because of our visit, there are plenty more friends who plan on visiting your restaurant soon! Thanks again to Chef Linda and her team for a lovely dining experience and taking care of all my dear friends that night with all of their requested dining needs. If you haven't checked out Cibo, you must visit them soon! You won't be disappointed! It's an adorable restaurant with fantastic customer service, amazing specialty cocktails and food you'll leave craving more!! read more

Scout Mob was a great way to try this place, until now did not know they were open for lunch. Duck Pappardelle is made with a red sauce with a touch of garlic and grape tomatoes and enough duck meat to satisfy but not over whelm. The Olive bread, had slices of what looked like two different types of olives was a nice touch, it is served with a dish of olive oil with a bit of balsamic vinegar in it. More on this one later, will update sooner than you think. Lets talk meatballs for a minute I found out these meatballs are made with the proper ingredients pork, veal and beef. These are slowly braised for a day in marinara they are good but have a touch to much oregano in them. If you ask Cibo might make a half order of pasta for you and on one evening tried a half order of the Chicken Marsala. It is rich and creamy. Chicken breast is sliced and mixed with Penne pasta, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli and mushrooms. Want to try : 1 - Prosciutto Balls. 2 - Lobster Pasta. read more

Another upscale Italian place opened in my neighborhood! I was excited to hear about this a few months ago, especially since the pub that used to be here was nothing special. We finally made it for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. The menu has a good variety: small plates, soup, salad, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and entrees. Many things sounded delicious, and the server's recommendations aligned pretty well with what I was already seriously considering, so that made the ordering fairly easy. We opted for the caesar salad, the soppresate piccante pizza, and the orecchiette pasta, all to share. Almost immediately, warm sliced bread arrived with balsamic and olive oil for dipping. The salad came quickly. It's billed as being ""teenage" romaine, poached farm egg crouton, white anchovy, reggiano", and it's definitely a new take on caesar. The flavors were quite intense and somewhat unexpected, so it took me some time to appreciate. It was a little heavy on the dressing for my taste. Shortly after finishing the salad, the pasta and pizza came out. The server then offered and brought out calipreza pepper, crushed red pepper, and fresh grated parmesan. She left the small dish of peppers, but dispensed the crushed red pepper and parmesan herself. The orrecchiette was dressed with cubes of local sausage, turnip greens, and reggiano. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were wonderful. It's a great combination, but I felt that I could make it myself at home. The pizza was great. One of the best neapolitan pizzas in town. Though it didn't have much char, which I love, the crust was nice and crispy throughout, even the center. The sauce was only slightly sweet, and the soppresate was indeed spicy, just by itself. I will definitely be back for this pizza. The interior is beautiful, very warm and cozy. Instead of benches for booths, they have wingbacked love seats. The table tops are polished wood. The decor also includes wood (presumably for the pizza oven, though not sure it's ever actually used) mixed with the alcohol bottles, and black and white images on the walls. There is a TV over the bar, which was showing famous food and bar clips from the movies. With the addition of CeB to this strip mall, the parking lot is maxed out, so they now have valet, even for lunch. This is also smart since for lunch on a Thursday, the delivery trucks were out front, taking up a few spaces. #Yelp365 - 252/365 read more

Delightful. Typically, we steer clear of Italian because we're prone to making it at home and being disappointed when we eat Italian elsewhere. Not our experience at Cibo. Excellent wine list, and a knowledgeable and friendly owner, who can tell you all you need to know to choose a wine or dish. Superb staff. We colored outside our usual lines with creamy sauces that were worth every calorie. Orecchiette Pugliese and the Taglierini Norcina dishes delivered. truffles in my sauce?... yes, yes, yes. Now, add a yummy cioppino to the menu so that we need not have to travel to SanFran's Sotto Mare to get our fix. Well done. read more

Sometimes it's risky to pick a restaurant you've never been to 1) eat with a 5+ person group, and 2) celebrate your birthday, but Cibo e Beve was perfect. There's something on the menu to please everyone and the cocktail menu was intriguing with all the interesting drink names - "No Sex in the Rainbow Room" or "Absinthe-Minded Professor." We started with the Goat Cheese Panna Cotta. Now, I don't know much about panna cotta except that I usually watch Ina Garten make a beautiful one on her show. This panna cotta was creamy without the usual pungent smell of goat cheese and I loved how fried green tomatoes were served with it because the flavors compliment each other well. The only con to this dish was that there was not more fried green tomatoes to eat with the panna cotta. Some people and I actually started smearing the goat cheese on the complimentary bread. I shared the Gemelli pasta and a Funghi Pizza with a friend. I expected the Gemelli to be served with an excess of tomato sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised that it had very little sauce, and was more creamy, almost with the consistency of Hamburger Helper haha. I know it must seem insulting to compare a dish to what others may call a disgusting contribution to lazy American cooking, but I mean this in a good way. Ok, let's just call the dish a fancier mac n cheese. The sizes of the pizzas were slightly larger than personal pan - about the size of a California Pizza Kitchen pizza. Sliced into quadrants, I was full after 1 slice of pizza. I'm not quite sure what type of mushrooms were on the pizza, but there was definitely a combination of different cheeses on top of the pizza and no tomato sauce. I could smell the Brooklyn pizza next to me which did have a tomato sauce on it. To be honest, I thought $16 was a bit pricey for the pizzas granted they probably use better ingredients (that's totally an unintended jab at Papa John's haha). Pizzas are $10 after 10pm - which is a better deal. However, after having cold leftover pizza last night, I have to say that Cibo's pizzas are best consumed fresh and hot. The portions were generous that there were definitely leftovers brought home. Seating is comfortable in the restaurant. It's a little dim so it's kind of romantic but still okay for a casual group of 8. The only thing I didn't like were the overstuffed pillows on our seats on the bench booth - we were seated in the middle of the restaurant with 4 2-person tables put together. Pillows just got in the way. Service is okay - sometimes it was a little difficult to flag down our waitress. The server with the food was a bit odd because he'd roll his eyes and give us death stares when we were confused about the entree he was about to set down. I think he actually said "You better eat it if I'm putting this down." Service isn't going to put a damper on my experience at Cibo though. I want to come back to try the other items on the menu. There are many small dishes there that I want to try that I think you can almost get away with doing a tapas-style dining experience. read more

Came here with the work crew and enjoyed a nice lunch on their patio. The restaurant was near empty during lunch time so we didn't really know what to expect. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall next to a few other restaurants. We started with the meatballs which were very flavorful and pretty big in size (comes with 4 pieces) to split among our group of 5. I ordered the Radiatori alla Vodka (sausage, spicy tomato cream sauce) for my entree. It was a simple pasta dish executed very well. Just the right balance of creamy, spicy, and meaty. Everyone loved the sauce on my pasta that they scraped every last bit of it with the complimentary bread. Definitely will come back to try their pizzas! read more

Let me just start off by saying that, I didn't know what to expect with this place... But I had a dining out coupon book and I kept seeing the picture of the carbonara pasta,which is one of my favorite dishes, on the coupon... So my best friend came into town and decided to try it out. That was an excellent decision... The atmosphere was great... The customer service was great as well throughout the night... We went on a Monday night. Now let's get to the food! I have been trying for years to find a place that prepares crab cakes this way... The taste and texture was soo good... However, you only get two which was a little disappointing but they were prepared exceptionally well... Now the carbonara was just as good... At first I was thrown off by the thick noodles but it worked well!! I highly recommend these entrees... Overall, my first experience here was a really good one. read more
