Nicole S.

Such great food here! A great menu with so many options, none of which are a bad choice. The vibe is beautiful with so many lights and a great outdoor atmosphere. Our service was good with a short wait time with no reservations. Definitely recommend

Breanna S.

I have been here a handful of times and wish I lived closer so I could go more often. This is a compilation of all those times to say that every single time was a 5 start visit. Food is phenomenal, service is great and the vibes inside and out are 10/10. Patio season at Cibo hates to see me coming! Don't leave without a dessert crepe either, trust me!

Great lunch prices
Deb R.

Great lunch spot. Friendly service and delicious food. The price is right too. It's cozy inside but there is also great patio dining if the weather is nice. Our waitress was very attentive and had good menu knowledge.

Tartufata pizza and frozen prosecco
Megan A.

Has an amazing dinner here with a friend! We made reservations but instead opted to sit at the bar once we arrived. We had great service, yummy food, and delicious seasonal drinks! We both got the Sgroppino (frozen prosecco) to drink, one in strawberry and one in peach, and they were perfect for a hot summer evening. I had the Tartufata pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Tons of fresh mushrooms and finished with a truffle oil that had so much flavor. Will absolutely be back to try more of their pizzas when I'm back in this area of Phoenix.

Rigatoni al forno
Kimberly G.

Cibo was so amazing! The best pizza and pasta I have ever had. I'll be thinking about our meal for a while. It was so good. We had a reservation for 7pm on a Thursday night. We arrived a few minutes before then and were seated right away. Our server was super friendly and the service was quick. We ordered the Rigatoni al Forno (baked sausage rigatoni), the pesto orecchiette with pine nuts and potatoes, and the Tartufata pizza (prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, and mushrooms). Everything was so good. We were starving and ate everything. Definitely good sizes to share. The patio is so cute. I wish we would have eaten out there, but we weren't sure how hot it was going to be. Plenty of street parking around. I would imagine it could get difficult to find parking depending on the time of the day. We will absolutely be back if we are ever in Phoenix.

Great service and an amazing find in downtown Phoenix! The pizzas are fantastic--perfectly cooked with fresh, flavorful toppings--and the pastas are just as impressive. Everything we tried was delicious, and the quality really stands out. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're in the area! This little gem is Perfect for a date night as well.

Burrata
Brooke K.

We came here on a whim hoping to get in & luckily we were seated right away on a Saturday after 7pm. Probably lucky it was the summer time! We started with the green beans and burrata - both were great but the green beans were phenomenal with the dipping sauce. Now to the best part - Cacio de Pepe pizza. Highly recommend. May even be better in this form than pasta form. We also got a red pie but we both were obsessed with the Cacio de Pepe. Server was very friendly and on top of it. Love the quaint setting.

Bolognese pasta
Jasmine D.

I was there for dinner with a group of 8, it was the first Friday. Getting seated took a little while and we had made our reservations ahead of time. Pizza was good and I got myself bolognese pasta, I had put in a few customizations and it was accounted for. Dessert was fire. If I'm around the grand ave I'd go back again

Went from 5 to 3 Stars; only because past experiences were so good! Went in for lunch the other day and the service was AWFUL! There were kids at the drink station filling up cups. We were seated and immediately after sitting down I literally couldn't hear anything anyone was saying at my table. Most the customers were crammed into the front right room and it was impossible to hear anyone at my table with loud women surrounding us enjoying lunch (which is fine) but break up the crowd a little.. I immediately stood up and asked to be moved so we could atleast hear each other. The young teen who Sat us was very helpful and moved us to a different table in the back right. When I tried to order the appetizer, I said "Yes, (looking at the waitress) we'd like to split a Caprese ( glances at my daughter to confirm in a questioning voice hesitating at the end) The waitresses said, "ok, I'll come back in a few when you figure it out" obviously not willing to wait a few seconds for a confirmation. We just sat there going Wow?!? That was wild, we also had our pizza orders ready but ended up waiting till she wandered back our way. The entire time we felt like we were keeping her from her kids? Grandkids? We definitely put her out, drinks were not offered beyond the first, I had to ask for a second one. The pizzas came, but not mine. I was informed it was wrong and they had to remake it. After my pizza finally came I realized it was still rather doughy and undercooked. We moved on as my daughters were done eating thier pizza and one of them grabbed boxes and we boxed them and waited to order crepes. We finally got our crepes and mine didn't look gf and was missing the allergy flag. We waited a few and I finally got up and went to the front room, the 2 teen girls (servers? They were serving) were messing around in the front room and almost ran into me when I FINALLY went up front to say My food had been messed up after it was dropped, no one checked back. They kept messing around and then stopped and looked at me asking if I needed help. I said YES please. She went into the side room to the front left and the waitress got up from the table where she was sitting with the other kids (that were at the drink fountain when we'd walked in.) She asked what she could help me with... I told her my gf pizza was not cooked all the way; I'd thrown it into a box (that we'd actually went to get) and I'll reheat it properly later and eat it, but the crepe I was concerned as there was not an allergy flag and it looked JUST like my daughters texture wise. I'm familiar with the crepes and I REALLY didn't think it was gf. She said she would not do anything about the pizza since I didn't mention it prior but the crepe was indeed gluten free. A little stunned I again said I would take the pizza home and reheat, I didn't ask for anything in regards to the pizza as they reheat well... and I would not eat the crepe, I truly didn't think it was gf! She said they'd remake it. I replied no thank you. (I'd already sat once while my party ate, for the gf pizza to be remade... I wasn't doing that again. With an attitude she told me she'd remove it from the bill! One bite was cut out and STILL on the fork, it should but have been an issue. I love Cibo and the food is amazing and it's worth the drive to come from Surprise for a treat, but that was a bit much...I'll be back, but I'll definitely ask for a different server!

Gnocchetti ai formaggi
Yasmin T.

The best Italian in downtown by far. I've been coming here for years. Reservations encouraged! Feels so homey inside and has a charming patio. The food is impeccable. I had never tried the pasta here and boy was I missing out! The gnocchi we got the time was soooo good! I just love this place you cannot go wrong. Di Notte is a must!

Salsiccia with Spicy Salame (4/5)
Ian N.

Salsiccia with spicy salame (4/5): Dough was soft and chewy but a bit too thick. Toppings were solid. Would've loved some char. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

Gerald H.

Stopped here for our final night's dinner in Phoenix. Originally we had a steakhouse picked out, but made a change and headed here with a 9:30pm reservation. Located in a residential type area, the restaurant is inside a former house with a large outdoor seating area. Outdoor twinkle lights frame the areas and make this a great option if you prefer to dine outside. We had an indoor booking and checked in - immediately sat. It took a few minutes to get served but once we did, it was almost like the meal was in overdrive. That's a good thing. We ordered a margherita pizza to start which - with no exaggeration, came out in 3 minutes. Freshly made and dropped off. It was very good - slight char on the crust but airy dough, tangy sauce, good cheese and the most crucial part- basil. Textbook execution. For my entree I went with the gnocchetti sorrentina - gnocchi with a tangy red sauce, basil, and cheese inside. This was very good - the cheese in the sauce stuck to the fork but the flavors were spot-on. As dessert, I went with the Nutella milkshake which was served in what I remember as a glass chalice that used to be in those cat food commercials. It was very good and rich. Would recommend this as a cozy spot with authentic and fresh food. Our waiter - big curly hair and a mask - was testing his stand up with us throughout the meal but was harmless and did a great job.

Racquel S.

My favorite place for pizza in Phoenix. The mushroom truffle w/ pepperoni added is my go-to. Their gluten-free pizza is SO good and is Neapolitan style with a puffy crust and everything. As someone with celiac, I've never had an issue. Always get a charcuterie too. GF bread for that is now an up-charge. Haven't been in years, so this was news to me but it was fine. Still my favorite pizza spot in the area. Especially outside on the patio!

We were greeted by the kindest gentleman at the door, who helped us to our seats and made us feel welcome right away. Then we met Lisa--a Jersey girl with Arizona in her heart! What a sweetheart. We laughed so much with her, and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. Honestly, we couldn't have imagined a better evening with her looking after us. Ask for her section if you go, and don't be shy about asking her for recommendations! The food was fresh and so delicious, and the portions were big! We shared the calamari, a side salad and lasagna, then finished with Italian cookies, tiramisu and a latte. Definitely consider sharing, and save room for dessert! We loved the food, the atmosphere and how welcome everyone made us feel. We've already been telling people to visit and ask for Lisa! Lisa, thank you for all the laughs and for making our night so special. The Sicilian Butcher is lucky to have you. We've fallen in love with Arizona, and this evening was one of the reasons why.

The service was good, however, I ordered the Ceasar Salad and Margherita Pizza for lunch.

Bakery side is lovely, Cannoli's are my favorite and they were scrumptious. Overall, it is a beautiful atmosphere, service was good, food could better for the price. I do plan on returning to the restaurant and bakery to try other menu items.

We enjoyed the $7 wine, the $5 tortellini, and the rigatoni with salmon. We also ordered the Italian chopped salad to go, and it was absolutely the best Italian chopped salad we have ever had! We loved everything so much that we knew we had to come back. Today we returned, and once again, everything was outstanding. We had the branzino special, the Involtini of Eggplant for an appetizer, and the lasagna. The lasagna was actually something we had to try because we kept hearing how the regular patrons always order it. After our first visit, we knew we had to see what all the talk was about -- and even though we were getting it to go, we had to order it! I'm honestly not even a fan of lasagna, but now I can completely understand why everyone loves it. This will be the only place I order lasagna from now on! And the bread with the pesto butter... it gets us every time! So delicious! And of course, Sal deserves another mention. Sitting at the bar with him on our first visit was such a fun experience, and he was a big reason we wanted to come back. He made us feel so welcome and made our first visit memorable. The food, the specials, the atmosphere, and the people are all fantastic. We've already been back twice, and I have a feeling The Italian Daughter is quickly becoming one of our regular spots. Everything has been outstanding, and we can't wait to come back again!

After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here. After our great experience, we will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes!

I don't know why the other locations don't offer this as an option.

This has some zucchini, green olives, sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, salami of a couple sorts, different cheeses, pistachio mortadella, mixed greens and oregano vinaigrette. I always go for the Roasted Salmon as it's a perfect balance of colors and taste. There were mixed in cauliflower and a bit of broccolini. I would definitely love to have more broccolini though. I ordered this as part of the summer menu which it comes with a choice of their daily soup (which was a creamy chicken soup on a Saturday), Sicilian meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Simple Salad or Charcuterie plate. I went with the charcuterie plate which had a array of foccicia bread, pitted green olives in an olive mix of rosemary or thyme theme taste, sweetened figs over a soft cheese spread, pecorino cheese I think, candied nuts, a jalapeño forward pickled veggies such as carrots, cauliflower, prosciutto, speck (another type of prosciutto). Other dishes were kids Alfredo pasta, Margherita pizza and the ricotta cavatelli which has lump crab meat and shrimp, mint and lemon olive. Our server was absolutely 100 percent as well as the rest of the staff. This place used to do valet but when we came for lunch there was no valet which I appreciated as the lot is just a regular private parking. This still has the same set up as it was 10 years ago or so with the barnyard type of structure and an open kitchen. Oh how I missed coming to this specific location. I'm ready to eat here again!

First off, this place is in a beautiful area. I was with 2 of my buddies but this place was the percect date night vibe. The scenary was very soft and "southern". It had that "aesthetic" vibe, great for pictures etc. The restaurant is one of a kind and beautiful inside. The booths are very comfortable. My server was extremely polite and attentive, along with knowledgeable. She didn't have the answer to one question I had, so like any good server, she found out immediately. The bus boy/ runner was also extremely attentive. Actively clearing plates and assisting my friends and I. I started off with the ceaser, which was delicious. We shared the meatballs, amazing. Along with the calamari and grilled octopus. Everything was fresh and was served to us quickly. We ordered a pizza to split, the margarita to be exact, and let me tell you it was life changing especially when you are a little buzzed. That may have enhanced my experience a little more. For my entree I chose the vodka pasta, it was one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. The only downside to this place is how pricy it can be, but like all nice places you have to be prepared to spend a lot. Despite that, I recommend this place to everyone. Come in a group if you can, its a fun time. Miss this place and love it!

First and foremost it bothers me when some people call a "family restaurant" a "hole-in-the-wall"…read moreestablishment. This is a clean and well run family establishment. I just had two great meals there last weekend when we were in town for a Allan Parsons Project concert. The first night (Fri) I looked over what other people were eating and the table next to me had a great looking shrimp and pasta dish that I ordered with the spring mix walnut salad. My wife had the Gnocchi with Vodka sauce and a Caesar salad. We were both very pleased with our selections. Sat. afternoon we came back before the concert. I had a "custom" made pasta dish (chicken, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli, olive oil) and it was great! Had the same salad as Fri. night. My wife had the lasagna and was very happy with the serving size and flavor. We will definitely be back when we are in town. Give this a try and you will be satisfied like we were.

Come for the Lasagna, Not the Candlelight Romance…read more We came here for a birthday dinner because we wanted to try something new, and by the end of the meal I found myself with two very different opinions: The food? Excellent. The ambiance? Let's talk about it. First, the good. The food was genuinely delicious. This feels like the kind of family-owned Italian restaurant where the focus is on what's coming out of the kitchen rather than what's hanging on the walls. Everything tasted like comfort food should; warm, satisfying, and made by people who care about the recipes. The service was also very good. In fact, the cook came out during our meal to ask how everything was. I was happy to tell him the food was fantastic because it absolutely deserved the compliment. Now for the not-so-good. We arrived around 5:30 PM, and the dining room was so quiet I could hear dishes being washed in the back. Not "pleasantly quiet." More "did everyone else know something I didn't?" quiet. For most of the meal there was no music at all. Just silence and the occasional clink of kitchen activity. They eventually turned on some background music shortly before we left, but it was so low that it felt more like a suggestion than actual ambiance. The tables, chairs, and overall décor are perfectly fine, but this isn't the place I'd choose for a romantic date night, anniversary dinner, or a birthday celebration where you're looking for a special atmosphere. What it is, however, is a great place to bring your spouse, kids, parents, in-laws, or anyone who appreciates good Italian comfort food without needing a white tablecloth experience. My advice? Come for the food. The food is worth it. If you're chasing ambiance, maybe lower your expectations or plan for a later dinner. The atmosphere seemed to improve after 6:30 PM as more people arrived. Bottom line: fantastic food, friendly service, family-dinner vibes. Just don't expect Tuscany. Expect comfort, and you'll leave happy.
