What a cool spot. Delish pizza and salad, friendly staff and great service. Came prior to a concert and the place was buzzing. Great outdoor seating which is just so important! Highly recommend. Our server was Hazel. Super nice and attentive! read more

Cibo Matto Caffe - Italian Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

We attempted to order a large cheese pizza but were informed that they don't do large pizzas anymore, only the small size. Quite disappointed, we ordered the small pizza anyway since we were already there. We were surprised to see that the small pizza, at $18, is only about 40% the size of the no-longer-available large pizza which had been priced at $22 until they took it off the menu yesterday. This appears to be a roundabout attempt to more than double the price for their pizza without customers catching on. Why else would you stop selling your large size pizza? My guess is that the owner is trying to get customers to order two or three small pizzas, one for each person costing a total of $36-$54, instead of $22 for one large pizza. I understand the need to periodically raise prices, but this seems a bit greedy and sneaky. Instead of a having a modest increase in price on their large pizza, it appears the owner opted to go for, in effect, a huge increase in price by simply getting rid of it. A kind of shrinkflation on steroids. My other favorite pizza (comparable to CM's pizza IMO) is Stefano's, which also happens to be in Mansfield. However, their small pizza, which I have had for lunch many times, is exactly the same size as CM's small pizza, while costing only $8.35, less than half the price. So I am voting with my feet- I won't be back to CM. read more

It's a great surprise to find this nice restaurant in this neighborhood. Everything was great. The staff was very friendly, the food was fresh and very tasty, especially the pasta. The pasta was freshly handmade, and it had the light chewy texture I liked. In addition to the covid 19 safety measures, they cleaned very carefully between customers. Conclusion: strongly recommended. And would like to come again. read more

They're down to earth, quaint hands on Italian food is amazing. Service is always on point atmosphere is small and you can actually watch a lot of the food being made. They have an outside patio. The atmosphere is always happy and uplifting and very inviting. It's worth stopping by. read more

A while since I reviewed Cibo Matto and afraid it seems to be in a decline. The restaurant was full when we visited on a Saturday night and still had a 10 minute wait despite reservation. The setup has changed with a weatherproofed porch extending the number of tables greatly. However, it makes the wait staff have to shimmy past waiting customers, the reception desk and negotiate a foyer door. The owners should really do some remodeling for practicality as it is very poor. Case of squeezing more places on the cheap. On to the food.. The bread is always great and a problem to resist over-indulging. We started with New England Mussels, which were a nice size but were not properly cleaned. One mussel had also stayed closed which is really bad and sign of poor quality control in the kitchen. I had meatball pasta for my entree and my wife had the miso encrusted cod. She was disappointed as the chef seems to have forgotten the miso leaving a bland cod and vegetable offering. My meatballs were nice, but the marinara sauce was not to my personal taste as they must use balsamic, which overshadows the sweetness of the tomatoes. No freshly ground pepper or parmesan offered for the pasta either, although maybe we were supposed to conserve what was offered with the bread and olive oil? Service was fine but prices are too high for the quality of the food we received. read more

the fried goat cheese balls are the best i've had since i went to Sur in 2016. great booths ask for one. the chicken meat parm was phenomenal. read more

We loved our outside patio table in thé far corner for our party of five. Our server was excellent and was kind enough to split our shared meal without us asking. We had a lovely roasted salmon cooked perfectly. And a spinach salad that was tasty but too heavy on the dressing. The other people in our group enjoyed risotto and gnocchi and chicken with pasta. We tried some fun cocktails. Kick in the face and another one I can't remember. read more

Cibo Matto Caffe - Nice patio space to watch sunset. - Italian Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

Loved this place. Went there Sunday and got 2 gift certs for my kids who live in Mansfield. This is their fave restaurant. $150 each. For 2. So $300 I gave the hostess 325 (25 tip) and putting these gift cards tonight for my daughters I realize the receipt only says $100 each not sure where that extra hundred dollars went plus a $25 tip. Called spoke to management. They have no idea. My husband went there. Still no idea. How incompetent can one business be? Ask yourself that. So I now have$200 worth gift cards to this establishment that I will never enter again. BE BETTER read more

Looking for a pre-concert dinner with dear friends, I worried this would be to open to traffic etc, based on location. I was wrong. The restaurant has done a great job of buffering the outside world from its outdoor tables. The food was outstanding- we shared pizzas and chicken Marsala after a capprese appetizer. Everything was fresh, drinks were great and the servers were attentive and professional. Definitely recommend and would go again! read more

Good food great service. Came in for dinner with 3 friends. Ordered a bottle of wine that was bad, manager tried it and agreed. It happens and they did the right thing. Appreciated! Would definitely go again when in town for a football game. read more

Had dinner with my boyfriend (BF) this evening. I had the salmon which was exceptional being perfectly cooked. The sides were incredible to include an interestingly tasty rice cake. My BF had the halibut with risotto and it looked delicious. Truth be told, I tried the risotto and it was! Nice glasses of wine paired beautifully with our meal. All in all we had a wonderful dining experience this evening and it is definitely worth the trip to Mansfield! read more

waitress practically ignored us after she found out my wife and I only wanted beer and a pizza. the pizza was aweful! very thin and burnt barely any toppings. expecting more for 25$ pizza. nasty. not going back. read more

Food has always been great, pricey but once in a while it's ok. Service is average. The place is small so it's a little tight. There's not enough space between tables so you can't avoid talking over your nex table neighbor or them hearing what your conversation. read more

Good pizza, flavor and quality ingredients. Waitress was super friendly too. Average prices.

Yummy yummy yummy! I rarely give a five star reviews b the only thing that kept me from doing so is that the prices were in the high side for the suburbs. The food was wonderful! Cocktails delicious, wine list extensive. You could dine outside which is a real treat. This is a great place for a special occasion. Just ate here again- it's my new favorite. I changed my review from 4 to 5 stars read more

First time here. I had the shredded Brussel sprout salad. It was delicious. I would highly recommend!

Service and Entree's were excellent! Arrived in Boston for a quick trip and found this restaurant located near our hotel. We were seated immediately in a booth across from the kitchen even though the restaurant was busy and bustling. We were served fresh and soft focaccia bread which was delightfully paired with olive oil, various toppings like coarse salt, chili flakes and balsamic. We ordered the Salmon Risotto and it was delicious! Also ordered the chicken parmigiana with Angel hair pasta. Yum! The service staff was attentive and helpful. Food was served promptly and the portions were generous. Just come and check it out for yourself! You will not be disappointed. read more

Best Italian, with a few other things on the menu, in the region. It's not your typical red sauce in everything place - although they make one of the best Chicken Parms going. Cibo Matto's takes on regional pasta dishes, roasted and grilled items and pizza are all on point. As a matter of fact, their fire-baked Neapolitan pizzas are not only huge and delicious, it turns out they're generally less expensive or equivalent to the local pizza joints. And the pies are far better. Drink list, beer & wine & liquor selection - all solid, as is the service. The only thing to avoid is the focaccia they give you at the table. It's too good. It'll stuff you before you get a chance to order dinner... read more

We love cibo. They always deliver a consistent high end meal. Somewhat expensive and dining in is usually quite busy. Food is always good.

Bring back the large pizza. Serious shrinkflation with the change to one size pizza which is small pizza. Unfortunately, we will not come here anymore. We were regulars. The small is less than 1/2 the size of the once offered large and the small is priced at $18. The large pizza was $22. Cibo Matto is now a rip off. What a let down. read more

Being new to Mansfield, we really wanted to like this place. Service is 5/5. But the food is 2.5/5. I am really unhappy about paying $36 for a special that tasted like a bucket of salt. I thought it could have been a mistake but my wife had the same problem. With our babysitter taking care of our 2 kids for our monthly date night, we didn't have time to request them to remake those dishes. It doesn't seem like the chef tastes what he puts on the line. Too bad - it seemed like a great place and we really had good expectations...it might have been an off day, I guess we may have been unlucky read more

Service was fine, seated promptly for a reservation on a Tuesday evening but the food was not good this time. Tried the lobster bisque and it was a tomato based liquidy mess. Not what you'd expect as a bisque. More like tomato soup with two pieces of lobster floating in it. The lobster fettuccine in a sherry cream sauce-again a soupy tomato mess, no hint of cream at all. With dessert and one drink each, came to around $175 plus tip. Will not be returning for a while. read more

After driving by over the years finally had lunch with my wife. I ordered the Bolognese & it lived up to all the great reviews. My wife ordered fish as she always does and said it was delicious but couldn't understand why all the fish prices were basically double the price. Will definitely be back read more

This a great place. The food and service are top notch with outdoor space to boot. On of my favorites.

Made a reservation here for Monday night on a whim since we haven't had Italian food in quite some time, and it was recommended to us a while ago. SO GLAD WE DID! We were seated on the heated patio, right below a heater- very comfortable temperature-wise for the whole meal even though it was quite chilly out. Everything was amazing from the very beginning! Even the bread they brought us to start with our waters was delicious. Cocktails were perfect. We ordered arancini as an app, and had no idea they would have oysters as a special-- added bonus! I ordered the Autumn risotto, which was phenomenal, and my boyfriend ordered the short rib- "the best he's had in forever." We finished the meal with cannoli- they were PERFECT! Our waiter (I wish I got his name!) was very friendly and attentive, as were all of the staff. Overall a wonderful dinner! Long story short... We are bringing my super picky, super Italian parents here ASAP! read more

Cibo Matto Caffe - Organic grilled Salmon, Kale and Beet purée with delicately sliced potatoes. - Italian Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

I don't know how this place got such high reviews, but my experience was terrible. We order chicken wings, a beet salad, and a veal piccata. Chicken wings were not fresh. We each tried one and left it on a plate. The beets in the salad were overcooked. The veal piccata was super salty. We were looking to have a dessert, but after our bad experience, we decided against it. Giving it two stars only because the people were nice. read more

Incredible experience at an easily driven-by modern Italian joint in Mansfield. The place was packed at 7p on a Tuesday, and the well-oiled host stand was no stranger to pre-Xfinity Center show crowds, zipping through the masses, seating ten tops, answering questions and calls, all while fulfilling take out orders without breaking a sweat. Props. The menu is tantalizing, featuring brick oven takes on classic and new age Italian plates. I absolutely adored by Brick Oven Shrimp and Scallops ($32), simply seasoned and served with rocket and pickled fennel over four cheese tortellini dressed in a pesto cream. Yes, seafood and cheese. Yes, it worked. This dish hit all the notes and I almost scraped the plate clean. Okay, I did. I scraped it clean. Don't @ me. Pair this with a pint of Lawson's/Two Roads Typecast Farmhouse IPA and I was a stuffed an happy customer. Definitely give Cibo Matto a go before your next show. read more

Ok. Outdoor dining is all aces here. I LOVE the sound of the busy tables. The chit chat. Even the cars on Chauncy St. Noise is great. It's bustling here. And I'm digging it! Started with a watermelon martini. How can you go wrong... right? And since my Doc says I need more fruit in my diet the wedge of watermelon qualifies. Then the stars came out. Summer Quinoa Salad. Oh my god! Baby arugula, cucumbers, radish, fennel, candies walnuts and the berries. All in a light vinaigrette. More fruit. Then the bolognese which has clam shell - freshly made pasta - braised veal beef and pork. All such salty goodness! Staff was great. LOVED Kate who was our server. So sweet. So nice. You could tell she was smiling under her mask. A total 5 review. Loved it. Check them out! read more

I love Cibo Matto. It's a treat whenever I go. I love so many things on the menu, including the spinach salad. I came with a friend who loves it too. Our waitress Nancy was fantastic. The bread, olive oil and spices are a nice prelude. We shared the calamari, surprisingly spicy. My friend had the chicken Parmesan over linguini and I had the chicken Picatta. I ended up taking half home. I had a pineapple stoli martini. Not on the menu, but I've seen a bartender make it on a previous occasion by cutting up a fresh pineapple and adding bottles of stoli. So potent and so yummy. The outdoor area is convenient on a nice day. This place is always busy and parking can be tricky. It's worth it, I promise. read more

Love it here so good. Good and drinks are delicious. Love the Bad Gal cocktail. The fried goat cheese is amazing as well.

I have been to Cibo Matto twice. The first time I went was in September. I had the most delicious chicken Marsala! I actually craved it until I could get back there to get it again. The second time was not as flavorful as the first time I got it. I also first went on a Friday night and the second time I went was a Sunday evening. The service is great and it was very clean. Also, we were asked if we needed anything from the waitress and the manager was checking on tables too which is rare these days! I will definitely go back again. The chicken was so tender!Chicken Marsala yum! read more

We came here after our wedding for lunch just a few of us (7) the service was great. The food was just ok. I've heard so much about this place and have been dying to try it for awhile now so when I picked this restaurant to have our after wedding lunch I had high expectations. I had the bolognese others in my group opted for sandwiches, my daughter had a salad and absolutely loved it! This review is really about my order the bolognese. My food was extremely salty and the sauce was a little watery. I'm going to give this place another try and order something else because maybe it was just an off batch of sauce. read more

I always enjoy the food here, very consistent.One small peeve. They used to offer complementary fresh baked focaccia. Not sure when they started this, but it's now an extra charge. Now that most entrees are well over $30, just charge me a buck more, and give me the bread. It's the little things, Cibo.. read more

No because a few years back both me and my husband got very I'll one night after eating there. I called the next day and they said they would send us a refund via gift card and never did. We used to frequent there a few times a year because the food was very good, but have never gone back and never will unless they follow through. read more

Nice looking place. Great selection of whiskey - too bad I was working! On that note, I only had time for a quick lunch. The bartender understood. He grabbed a menu and I picked out the steak and cheese pizza. It was very good. Great crust. High quality steak - no fat or gristle. I saw an Egg nog -flavored malt beverage and asked for a small sample. I think it was by Harpoon. Good stuff! Interesting, and a little weird. I would definitely go back! 4.5 stars read more
