Wow, what an amazing restaurant! The ambience is cozy and romantic with good service. From the arancinis appetizer to the yummy shareable salad to the inventive and delicious pizza to the absolutely scrumptious dessert. For me, this was the best thin crust pizza I've ever had! I definitely can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. read more

I came here with a couple of friends before we headed to a concert later that evening. The patio was cute and the ambiance was suitable for the outdoor seating area. The food choices and the fast preparation of our meals was better than expected. The pizzas look and taste great and they're reasonably priced. The sandwich options and fries were tasty too. I opted for the pastrami with grilled onion sandwich with a side of truffle fries. The portion and price were reasonable for this entree as well. For an Italian style restaurant I would have hoped they'd have an Italian beef sandwich but it wasn't there. Man, I'd they had this on the menu I would have ordered it in a heart beat. Aside from the service being less than desirable and the server not knowing the menu contents, not being mindful of the beverage pouring, and repeatedly dropping silverware, it was an enjoyable experience. I would definitely come back again for more. read more

Meatball : 3.5/5. It was a decent size meatball approximately 2 inches in diameter, but a little tough in my opinion. If they added a little more bread crumb it would be perfectly tender. However, I wasn't a big fan of the sauce. Good but not great. It was more of the sour/tartness side which didn't complement the meatball too well. Di Notte: 5/5- this pizza is for cheese lovers and it does have a strong pungent flavor with mild salami on top. Some of their white pizzas has arugula, but think it would be a good addition to balance the flavor as well. Capricciosa-5/5- this was our favorite pizza as it's more of a meat lover style (prosciutto, mushroom, artichoke, and olives). And the dough was also delicious... that's if you like doughy bread. Pappardelle Bolognese- 4/5 the pasta was a great texture and good to perfection, but the sauce and ground beef... could've been better, and similar to our meatball dish. Our server (Jamey) was great and friendly. Ambiance: nice date place sitting outside if it's not hot, but they do have misters. Manger/Owner, Mike though- this fool is A DICK AND RUDE! ! We waited 30 minutes for our table and was called by the hostess who offered us inside or outside. We first decided to sit inside since it was cooler, but once seated, the table next to us was loud so we went back to the host to see if we can change to be outside. (Like 5 minutes), but was advised that we need to wait another 20-30 minutes which seemed odd and questioned the wait time. Then MIKE cut into the middle of OUR conversation, and started yelling, WE ARE BUSY CANT YOU SEE! Etc... I proceeded to explain, you don't need to yell sir, i'm just questioning why we have to be put back on the waitlist, additional was already walking back to our table . He seriously needs to leave his negative energy at home regardless if he's the owner. You can also see how his energy affected his workers attitude when surveying a few staffs that helped us. Overall 4/5 for a good restaurant and service. Just avoid Mike. read more

Ambiance 5 stars! Food 3 stars Service 1 star I believe we had a bit of an outlier experience and would love to go again and order different items. We came as a large group with a reservation and were seated promptly. Our waitress came to take drink orders, which were delivered promptly, and then didn't come back for ages. We were so hungry but 1 person in our party wasn't there yet. We had to guess the server was waiting on that person to arrive, but we had her order and wished we'd been asked or checked on. Most of us ordered salads to share as starters, along with pasta or pizza dishes as mains. The salads arrived with no plates for sharing or utensils. We had to ask the person delivering the food. I had the Ostia salad, which sounded so different I figured it had to be really good, but it's really like a Ceasar salad with the dressing swapped for hummus. Strange, and needed something to balance the hummus. The pastas received praise, but those of us who got pizza all found them disappointing, with bland, slightly sweet sauce. read more

I feel like I can't give CIBO a fair review because I didn't order pizza when I was here and I've heard that's mainly what they're known for. The two hosts I spoke to were a bit rude but our server was nice. I came on a weekday night during the summer and it wasn't super busy, but our service was a bit slow. The calamari was good but had a bit of a rubbery texture and taste. The meatball sandwich was probably my favorite thing we ordered. The old building the restaurant is located in is super cute, but it felt a bit stuffy and cramped inside. I would definitely have preferred to sit outside if possible. read more

Our favorite meal of our road trip through AZ! It was also an incredible value for the quality of the food - we were really surprised when we got our bill! We came without a reservation on a Friday night and got seated in about 30 minutes. If the weather is nice, definitely opt for outdoor seating! Cibo has really cute ambiance. They also have heaters on colder nights. We got the omero salad, the meatballs, and a diavola pizza with added sausage. The salad was huge and probably meant for 4 people. I love the goat cheese, strawberry, and walnuts combo. All ingredients tasted fresh! The meatballs were delicious and the marinara sauce was great with the bread. We loved the kick of the diavola pizza. The salami and sausage were so yummy and the crust was perfect. read more

This place has never disappointed me or anyone I come here with. It's an absolute pleasure to go here. The staff is great and the food is even better. I usually go with a pizza and salad of some sort. On this day I was craving more protein so I went for the meatball sandwich. Much to my surprise I completely regretted it. Not because the sandwich was bad - but because it was SO GOOD - I was upset I never got a sandwich at Cibo in the years I've been going here. Lesson learned - if you love a restaurant, take a chance on several items on their menu. So happy. Can't wait to go back and get another. read more

We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes on their benches. The ambiance was very pretty-- lot of couples on their romantic dates.

Painfully, I have to give three stars. While this establishment has been a five star restaurant many years for me, recently it is evident that they have changed some business practices. Whether it is non-helpful service staff when faced with issues with food, or beginning to charge extra for sides that were not normally charged as an additional item. The quality overall has significantly decreased with the portion sizes of the pizza and pasta. While the people coming to the restaurant has only increased, it seems they are cutting costs in places that once made the restaurant a much more enjoyable experience. While the restaurant's inside and outside continue to be a great ambience and environment, the recent non-welcoming atmosphere has ruined it for me. read more

I recently visited this restaurant, and it will definitely be my last time. Their customer service is extremely poor. At first glance, the place looks charming from afar, but our experience was the opposite. Even though we received a text confirming that our table was ready, upon arrival, it had already been given to someone else. Why? Because we were waiting in the car, and it took us just four minutes to walk to the entrance and join the line. They had assured us that tables would be held for 10 minutes after the notification, yet they seated the couple in front of us instead. After another 15 minutes of waiting, we were finally seated at a table with an umbrella pole awkwardly positioned in the center, which was extremely inconvenient. When we requested to move to another table, they refused. As for the food, it was mediocre at best, yet overpriced. For the same cost, we could have dined somewhere far more elegant with significantly better cuisine. I live in the building next door, but I will never dine or order from this restaurant again. I think this by far the worst customer service and food in the valley read more

Such a cute place! The decorations among the outdoor seating tables were on point, fantastic. Very romantic but also open welcome cozy vibes. Split a pizza here which was indeed Italian style (rather than American style) and tasted good. Got a sprite as well. Size of pizza wasn't particularly large but for me half of it was just right for dinner :). I think we got the Prosciutto Crudo pizza (tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto) but it may have been the Capricciosa one too (tomato sauce, mozzarella, prosciutto, mushrooms, artichokes and black olives). read more

The environment is really nice. A very pretty location with good ambiance. The service is pretty slow but nice. Not much to say. The food is very... Inoffensive put in a good way, bland and lacks identity in a bad way. Everything I tried from the arancini to the pizzas is bland. The arancini has like 5 peas inside with cheese and that's it. It's just a fried ball that tastes like nothing. I was kind of offended they actually serve something so ??? I don't even know what to call it. It's just nothing. It's not even bad, it's just nothing. The pizzas are floppy and flavorless. The mushroom white pizza was nauseatingly greasy. They also put olive oil and vinegar on the table like they'd serve bread, but they said it was for the crust. Kind of strange. Overall a very disappointing spot. I'd go here if you want flavorless, bland, absence of taste, no identity, catering to the most common denominator pizza you can find in PHX. It's definitely a great spot if you hate the idea of flavor that's not salt. read more

Tried this place for the first time on a Thursday night with some friends. We arrived around 7pm and were quoted a 30 min wait-- we were pleasantly surprised when we only had to wait about 5-10 mins until we were seated. We sat outside on the patio under the sparkly lights and this was such a vibe! Our server was great-- he pointed us in the right direction for appetizers and entrees. I really recommend the Ostia salad-- the candied walnuts are delightful and the crunch of the onions create wonderful flavors and texture. For entrees we ordered the La Noce pizza with a gluten free crust and the Vegetariana pizza. I could not taste a difference at all between the gluten free pizza crust. This was some of the best pizza I've ever had. I love how the toppings are loaded on and the sauce is light and not sour from the tomatoes. This place is perfect for any occasion! read more

The outdoor area is also nice and sometimes they have live music. Service was good. As for the pizza itself, I was unfortunately unimpressed. I forgot which ones we ordered but we tried one red and one white. I thought the crust was a little soggy. I would not order any of them again. The tiramisu was good.

What a beautiful location! Rustic, old time feel and very romantic. The trees, lights and outdoor feel are perfect for date night or an evening with friends. We made a 5:30 reservation on Open table a few weeks prior. Lucky to have gotten one at all. Busy place! Didn't make it for outside (it's a must!) so the wait was 15 minutes but so worth it! Richie greeted us as we arrived to our table. He was friendly, helpful with suggestions and very attentive throughout our evening. We started with the house salad (half is $5 and perfect before a meal) and for our main course, we choose the Salsiccia wood fired pie but added roasted red peppers, balsamic onions and spicy Italian sausage. It was not only pretty but tasted like heaven! They brought fresh bread with EVOO and fantastic balsamic with our salad. Every piece was gone! The only downside to our evening was how long everything took to arrive. 20 minutes for our salads, 40 total for our pizza. Worth the wait, sure but if this is standard practice, be sure to give yourself plenty of time to enjoy. We had a show at the Orpheum theatre and really cut it close. Regardless, we'll be back for sure! read more

We ordered a couple of sodas and the same slices we ordered last time, pepperoni and vodka slices. The slices were delivered in no time! They were hot and crispy! I don't know what happened, but the quality just wasn't there. I could not taste the sauce on my pizza. It was non existent. It was like eating pizza bread with cheese and pepperoni. The Vodka pizza had no detectable sauce on it either. It also tasted just like cheese bread. I don't know if its because of different pizza makers or the new standard, but I was disappointed. I was very impressed last visit and even made a statement that the Vodka slice may be my new favorite. I was a little let down this time around!

You can also get a whole pie of your choice. They grate fresh parm on all the slices which I thought was a nice touch. The girl at the register seemed very knowledgeable about all the pizzas and gave us lots of details and recommendations which we appreciated. First we got the green, di Parma, and the Phoenix. The green has pistachios and fresh arugula on it, I thought the overall flavor was too sweet and the pistachios weren't crush enough. The Phoenix was good, very honey forward and overall the flavor didn't stick out to me. The di Parma was a cheese pizza with procuttio and ricotta, overall a little plain to me. I think they all would've tasted better hot, but I understand that's not super realistic for a slice shop. For our second order we got the vodka sauce slice, which was for sure my favorite. First of all it was piping hot, and that elevated the whole experience. I thought the sauce was so flavorful and savory, and the basil made a perfect bite. I would go back for a whole pie of this! I really liked the prices here, we got dinner for less than $25 for 2. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some other slices and get a pie of the vodka!

Lil Capo Pizzeria

Lil Capo Pizzeria 5.0/5 The Closest Thing to New York…read morePizza I've Found in Arizona Growing up in Upstate New York, I admittedly have high standards when it comes to pizza. After moving to Arizona in 2007, I've spent years searching for a slice that genuinely reminds me of home. While there are plenty of decent pizza spots throughout the Valley, very few capture that authentic New York style. Lil Capo Pizzeria absolutely does! Ironically, I first discovered Lil Capo after an Arizona Cardinals game. Like many people, I wasn't interested in paying stadium prices for mediocre food, so I jumped on Yelp looking for something nearby. Lil Capo had outstanding reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did because it's now my benchmark for New York-style pizza in Arizona. The first thing that stood out was the crust. This is exactly what a New York slice should be--thin, crispy on the bottom, slightly chewy inside, sturdy enough to fold, and never overloaded with grease. So many places think "New York style" simply means making a large slice. Lil Capo understands it's really about the balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and texture. Every bite reminded me why I miss pizza back east. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the cheese is perfectly proportioned, and everything tastes fresh without trying to reinvent what already works. Sometimes simplicity executed well is the hardest thing to accomplish. Pizza: 5/5 Service was equally impressive. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. After selecting our slices, they quickly reheated them to perfection and had them on our table within minutes. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria--fast, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable. Service: 5/5 I also appreciated the atmosphere. Lil Capo isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. Instead, it has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel where the focus stays exactly where it should--on making outstanding pizza. It's casual, comfortable, family-friendly, and somewhere you could easily become a regular. The pricing is another pleasant surprise. Considering the quality of the pizza and the generous slice sizes, I found everything to be very fairly priced. Overall Finding authentic New York-style pizza in Arizona has been surprisingly difficult over the years, but Lil Capo delivers exactly what I've been searching for. Authentic New York-style crust Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio Minimal grease Friendly, efficient service Fair prices Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere I've eaten pizza throughout New York my entire life, and Lil Capo remains the closest I've found to the real thing anywhere in Arizona. Whenever I'm on the west side of the Valley--or heading to or from a Cardinals game--I find myself looking for an excuse to stop in. Next time, I'm skipping the slices and ordering an entire pie. If you're a fellow New Yorker living in Arizona and craving a slice that tastes like home, Lil Capo should be at the top of your list.

Lom Wong

**July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated. It was the perfect final meal for our trip, and I'd definitely come back again.

Finally got to try Lom Wong after hearing so many praises and recommendations from others…read more Unfortunately, for us, it was incredibly bland and underwhelming. I really want to believe it was a fluke. Rushing to get food out quickly to mimic Thai street food is not desirable when quality is sacrificed and the customer is paying almost $40 for a plate.. I will say the food came out within minutes of ordering. Our server was nice and patient. I needed some extra time to look over the menu and he didn't rush us to order even though he was very busy. The food was so lackluster and it pains me to say that about a Thai restaurant. Every dish was just missing something, whether it was some spicy or citrus. Every dish was very one dimensional. The Boo Pad Pong Garee, or stir fried crab curry, was dry and underwhelming. It was missing spice for me. There were huge chunks of crab though. The Naem Khao Tawt, or crispy rice salad, may have been my favorite bite of the night. It had a great balance of textures and flavors. It was refreshing and helped cut through some of the dryness of the crab curry. I loved the cured pork sausage. Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai, or the stir fried flat rice noodles with squid, wasn't terrible. I love flat rice noodles and they had the distinct char that you would get from wok cooking. Loved that. The flavors overall weren't bad. Just again, underwhelming and lacked a good balance of flavors. I would have liked more spice, citrus, and umami. We did not care for the creme brûlée duo. The hibiscus one was soooooo intensely sour that it was almost inedible. It was very bright though. The lemongrass one reminded me too much of a savory lemongrass soup that I couldn't enjoy it. Some of the spiel and verbiage that the team had was a little pretentious and awkward. I saw them "kindly" kicking out a table for sitting past their reservation time. I've never ever seen a restaurant do that before. Really not that bad but really not worth the $20-$40 price tags either. I'm open to coming back and trying other dishes. I really think I may have came on a bad night.

I'm from Alaska here in the United State known as Susan and have been a victim of binary option and lot more, it all started after I lost my job at one of the chemical company in MA and I relocated with my families cause there was no need of staying back and my husband got little savings which we intend to start up something in Alaska but getting to Alaska we saw an advert online about binary option honestly I brought the idea to my husband and we both decide to invested the little with us so we could make enough profit and start-up something better but before we knew it we have our car sold out just to pay scammers and yet they never stop but always keep giving us hope and more money was been requested and this ruined my home. My husband got pissed off and left the state to MO and I couldn't handle it anymore cause I couldn't take it when I was pleading with the neighbor for food just to feed my kids. I was so ashamed of myself and people always asked me what is going on and i was so scared to tell them the truth about what I'm going through, i really wanted to get through it cause have spent so much on it and gave all that i had into it but it seems not to be enough until one day a friend of mine who i knew long ago decide to take me out and I didn't want to accept at first anyway i went out with her and while i was smoking and drinking i didn't know when i told her everything and she screamed and tell me to hire wizardharry@programmer.net that she has been a victim of it as well, i quickly emailed Wizard Harry, my message that day was really crazy, I wrote Hey magic wizard, someone is dying and need her money back from fraudsters, please don't get mad at me, i need your help. he replied me and asked me of the wallet address i sent to and that of the name of the binary option, i gave all information as requested by him and he asked me to send him my own wallet address where the money should be reversed back to and i did. Honestly, it amazed me when I got 17 bitcoins in my wallet, I thought it wasn't real but I sold some of it and I got cash and I informed my husband about it he didn't believe it until I showed him. it was really a whole lot of experience and I urge everyone to contact wizard Harry as soon as possible, he made me know that if ever I need any job that requires hacking skills he is very capable and that include, hacking of account, GPS tracker, mobile spy, compute remote tricks, clearing of record, etc. email wizardharry@programmer.net or WhatsApp +18078086168 read more

Finding a good and authentic Italian pizzeria outside of Italy is not easy. Most of the pizzerias have only the Italian name, but their specialties are mixed with the tastes and traditions of the country where they are located. I read good reviews about a place called Cibo Pizzeria, and I wanted to experience it. The pizzeria is a cozy old bungalow-style house with a wide front yard where customers are seated, surrounded by a romantic and relaxing atmosphere with live music and lights in the trees. I went there with a friend over the weekend, and it was crowded, but we found a little table outside. We were lucky to find a seat, but unlucky with the table we got; it was not very stable so moving carefully was the thing I had to remember most. The menu has a large variety of pizzas, weather red pizzas (with tomato sauce) or white (without tomato sauce). I chose pizza tartufata: white pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms, prosciutto crudo, with a drizzle of white truffle oil and olive oil. The pizzeria was crowded, but this did not make me wait very long. The pizza was brought to my table by a very friendly waitress, and the flavor of truffle teased my taste buds. When I started with the first slice I felt like I was home. Did I say home? Yes, this was the sensation. Not precooked pizza, not flavored pizza with some low quality ingredients, but pizza with fresh mozzarella was served at Cibo. This is not very common in fact chefs usually put cheese on pizza and the taste is different. Besides other few ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, mozzarella is the one that makes a significant difference. I am honestly not a fan of prosciutto crudo, but it was well combined with the others ingredients. I wish I could have had little white truffle pieces on the pizza, but I am aware of the high cost. The most expensive pizza is about $14.50, but it is worth it for the quality of ingredients used to make the pizza. Products are organic and some of them are imported from Italy like the prosciutto crudo San Daniele an important aspect of Italian gastronomy. I also ordered a glass of Chianti Classico, a typical Italian red wine. As an Italian I was very satisfied with the dish, and I recommend this pizza place to all the people who have not yet had the chance to visit my home country. Cibo Pizzeria is definitely one of the best Italian pizzerias I have ever visited, and whenever I want to try something different than pizza, I am sure it will not disappoint me. read more

Our evening at Cibo was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that felt like a warm, familial embrace. The staff at Cibo took hospitality to a new level, ensuring that our every need was met with a smile, making us feel cherished and valued. The outdoor garden seating was a highlight of our experience. With the soft glow of warm lighting and the presence of ancient trees, it felt as though we had been transported to a serene Sicilian villa. The ambiance was not just inviting; it was downright cozy, setting the stage for a leisurely, unhurried meal. Our culinary journey commenced with the meatballs and salad, both of which were exceptional and clearly homemade with care. Each bite resonated with flavors that felt like they had been passed down through generations, invoking a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The pizzas we ordered were nothing short of spectacular. Comparisons to other pizza joints in Phoenix are futile because Cibo's offerings stand in a league of their own. The pizzas were masterpieces, each bite bursting with a medley of flavors and crafted with an artisanal touch. The quality of ingredients was evident, making every slice a delightful experience. To conclude our meal, we indulged in a thin crepe adorned with ice cream and fresh fruits. What elevated this dessert was the whipped cream, freshly prepared and impossibly light. It was a testament to the attention to detail that Cibo places in every aspect of their menu. But what truly set Cibo apart was not just the exceptional food. It was the entire experience - the genuine warmth of the staff, the enchanting outdoor setting, and the feeling of being welcomed into a big, loving Italian family. Dining at Cibo wasn't just a meal; it was a celebration of togetherness, good food, and the simple joys of life. In conclusion, if you're seeking more than just a meal; if you're yearning for an experience that nurtures the soul, Cibo is the place to be. Prepare yourself to be treated not just as a customer, but as a cherished member of the family. I wholeheartedly recommend Cibo to anyone who appreciates the art of slow-paced, family-oriented dining. It's not just a restaurant; it's a heartwarming journey that lingers in your memory long after the meal is over. read more

Cibo is one of those rare places that feels both charming and authentic from the moment you arrive. Housed in a beautifully converted historic home, the restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately sets it apart from a typical dining experience. The patio entrance is especially charming, and the entire property feels intimate and welcoming. It's easy to see why this family-owned establishment has remained a beloved Phoenix favorite for so many years. We started our evening with the calamari, which was outstanding. Unlike traditional calamari preparations, this version was bursting with flavor, featuring plenty of fresh garlic, parsley, and a pleasant spicy kick that elevated the dish without overwhelming it. It was the perfect way to begin the meal. For drinks, I enjoyed a refreshing Hugo Spritz along with an Italian beer, both of which paired wonderfully with the food and complemented the relaxed atmosphere. Our main course was the Diavola pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. I customized it by adding balsamic glaze and onions, which added the perfect balance of sweetness and depth to the spicy flavors of the pizza. I also appreciated the ability to customize toppings to create exactly what I was craving. The pizza itself was beautifully prepared with fresh ingredients and excellent flavor throughout. What truly stood out was the hospitality. One of the owner's sons regularly checked on guests throughout the evening, making sure everyone was enjoying their experience. That level of genuine attentiveness and family involvement adds a personal touch that is increasingly rare and makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. Whether you're looking for a casual evening out, a romantic date night, or simply a memorable meal in a unique setting, Cibo delivers. The combination of exceptional food, welcoming service, and the charm of its historic home atmosphere makes it a place I'll gladly return to again and again. read more

We landed at Cibo on a cold Sunday night--a rare chill in Phoenix, but pasta sounded like the perfect antidote. My daughter, a local, pointed us in Cibo's direction, and the proximity to our downtown hotel made it an easy choice. The place itself? A converted old house, charming in that "let's make rustic trendy" way, complete with a sprawling patio and a tiny four-stool bar offering just beer and wine. The wine list was passable, though the bartender wasn't much of a guide--more statue than sommelier. Bundled-up staff bustled around like Arctic explorers, a sign of the unseasonable cold. We found ourselves seated on the patio by a propane heater, which, for the brief time it worked, was a lifesaver. The patio has its charm--think quaint, weathered elegance--but the vibe teetered somewhere between endearing and trying too hard. The food? Pizzas and pastas, mostly. The pizza was solid--thin crust, nice char, the kind of simplicity that wins loyalty. I could see why people rave about it. The pastas, though, didn't hit the mark. The Bolognese leaned too heavily into tomato territory, lacking depth, and the truffle pasta? A sledgehammer of truffle oil that bulldozed any nuance. But the real letdown was the service. The staff looked like they'd wandered in from a swap meet--more thrift store than hospitality professional. Plates were dropped and snatched with little finesse, arms darting across the table like the food itself was an afterthought. When the heater sputtered out mid-meal, no one bothered to fix it. So, we sat there, in the cold, wrapped in our jackets, waiting for some semblance of effort that never came. It's hard to know if this was an off night or just par for the course. The bones of something good are there--solid pizza, a cozy space--but the lack of training and attention to detail leaves the experience wanting. Owners, take note: service matters, even in a charming old house with a pretty patio. read more

A Gluten-Free Pizza Revelation at Cibo - Phoenix's Culinary Gem Dining at Cibo in Phoenix was a truly exceptional experience--one that far exceeded expectations, especially as someone who follows a strict gluten-free diet. Nestled in a charming restored bungalow with twinkling patio lights and a warm, rustic ambiance, Cibo is the kind of place that immediately makes you feel at home. But what really stole the show? The gluten-free pizza. Let me be clear--this wasn't just good for gluten-free. This was easily one of the best gluten-free pizzas I've ever had, and I've been on this dietary journey for years, tasting my way through cities across the country. The crust had that perfect balance--crispy on the outside, tender inside, with just the right amount of chew. It held its structure beautifully without being dense or dry (a rarity in the gluten-free world). The toppings were fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully balanced. From the creamy mozzarella to the house-made tomato sauce bursting with flavor, every bite was a symphony of textures and taste. You could tell they don't treat gluten-free as an afterthought here--it's crafted with just as much care and culinary integrity as their regular pizzas. The service was equally impressive--friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. The staff made me feel comfortable and confident that my dietary needs were taken seriously, which makes all the difference when dining out. If you're in Phoenix--gluten-free or not--Cibo is a must-visit. It's a rare combination of ambiance, hospitality, and food that genuinely makes you want to come back again and again. For gluten-free diners in particular, this place is a revelation. I left not just satisfied, but truly grateful. read more

Cibo has truly become our favorite spot in Phoenix for date night! My girlfriend is gluten- and dairy-free, and finding a restaurant that not only accommodates her needs but also delivers incredible food is rare. We've been here three times now, and every visit has been exceptional. Our go-to order is the Lil Pep with gluten-free dough and vegan cheese, paired with the gluten-free bolognese pasta--both are absolutely phenomenal. The pizza crust is perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the vegan cheese is so good you'd never know it was dairy-free. The bolognese is rich and hearty, with a sauce that's perfectly balanced. It's clear that they put so much care and quality into every dish. The wait staff at Cibo also deserves a special mention. They're always incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring that dietary needs are met. The atmosphere at Cibo is just as amazing as the food. Whether you're sitting inside their cozy, intimate dining area or enjoying their stunning outdoor patio, it's the perfect spot for a date night. The ambiance is warm, romantic, and inviting--everything you could want for a special evening. We can't recommend Cibo enough for anyone looking for top-notch food, wonderful service, and a lovely dining experience. It's a gem in Phoenix! read more

Visited for the first time after reading so many great reviews...made it part of a great date night before going to Doobie Brothers n Chicago concert just a few blocks away. We got there just as they opened at 5 p.m. for dinner and we were seated right away. The place is very warm and cozy. Nothing pretentious, just great service, great food and great atmosphere. What impressed me most was the way our waitress handled a small problem. Half way thru our FANTASTIC pizza I noticed a long hair on the plate. I told the waitress and showed her in a way that didn't let any other diners know what was up. She apologized and brought us another pizza..Quickly. When we got our check she removed the dessert for the inconvenience and thanked me for being subtle about the hair. To me, you really find out what a business is about by the way they handle a problem. And this was handled in a first class way. We left happy,impressed and anxious to return. I wish I could remember our waitress's name, she was very to the point and friendly and attentive. The other staff that handled our room was equally wonderful. Most important you could taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in both our pizza and bruschetta.....love this place!!!! read more

Man, this place was all around one of my favorite dining experiences I've had since moving to Phoenix. First off, restaurant is an old house converted into restaurant. The patio was filled with trees and plants all covered in lights to create a very peaceful environment. The service staff was friendly and very attentive. The wine list is perfect for a pizza restaurant with delicious grape varietals from Italy that you won't find everywhere else. I started with a bottle of Etna Rosso from Sicily. For dinner I started with a pear salad that was great! Nice thick slices of pear and parmigiano tossed with arugula covered in balsamic and evoo. After, I went to my favorite traditional pizza, the Capricossa. The dough was great! You can actually smell it from down the block when you walk up to the restaurant. For dessert I took home the mascarpone crepe, recommended by the server to hold up nicely. Which it did, I enjoyed that later in the evening with my lady. I also took home another capricossa to-go and a bottle of Sangrantino from Umbria (another rare wine out here). Overall, perfect place for a relaxing dinner or date night. I will 100% be back soon. read more

If you're looking for a place that effortlessly blends phenomenal food with a stunning ambiance, look no further than Cibo's Pizza. This charming spot is an absolute gem, delivering an experience that feels both cozy and vibrant at the same time. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful setting--warm lighting, rustic décor, and a welcoming atmosphere that made me want to linger. And then came the food...pure perfection. I ordered the Polpettine pizza, and wow--what a masterpiece. The crust was that ideal balance of crisp and chewy, topped with rich tomato sauce, melted cheese, and perfectly seasoned meatballs. Every bite was bursting with flavor. The calamari was equally impressive--lightly crispy yet tender, paired with a dipping sauce that added just the right touch of zing. Pair it all with a great glass of wine, and you have yourself an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're going on a romantic date night or just indulging in some seriously good eats with friends, this place deserves all the hype. Highly recommend! read more

Cibo is a great spot for a cozy dinner, whether you're on a date or catching up with friends. The atmosphere is dark and romantic, with a warm, welcoming feel that makes you want to settle in and enjoy your meal. I tried the Bolognese, and while it wasn't bad, it could've used a little more flavor to really stand out. The gnocchi on the other hand, was absolutely delicious--soft, pillowy, and tossed in a sauce that made me want another plate. The pizzas were the highlight. The Margherita pizza was simple and fresh, with just the right mix of mozzarella, tomato, and basil. The crust was light and crispy, with that perfect wood-fired char. The Latina pizza was even better, topped with prosciutto, fresh arugula, and Parmesan. The salty prosciutto and peppery arugula were a great combo, and again, the crust was spot on. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, Cibo offers a great mix of good food, a relaxed vibe, and fantastic pizza. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back. read more

We have a condo in vacation condo in downtown Phoenix. Have tried Cibo's on 4 occasions since 2009 because friends keep telling us how wonderful it is. I really do not know what they see in this restaurant. We are still looking for a place that has a decent pizza! The wait is usually long hard to find parking and service well service needs some work! We have had to sit for at least 10 to 15 to even have the order filled. The pizza is a small artisan style pizza with a little cheese thrown in places and well no taste. I had sand in my salad and told the server. She said, "sorry" took my food and forgot us! We asked for the manager and no one came so walked over to another server and handed them what we thought our meals cost and walked out. We will not recommend this place. We've been to a lot of pizza places in our life and this place is nothing to brag about. No longer will anyone talk us into this place again. read more

Cibo, you are my favorite pizza place in the valley! You never disappoint me on your pizzas and salad choices and you have quite the selection of fine Italian wine. I was there the other day, again, with a special someone and Cibo was the perfect place for the night. The outdoor patio garden was so cute with the trees and other greenery, I forgot we were in the desert for that night. The pizzas are phenomenal and they use the freshest ingredients. I know your thinking well so does Pizzeria Bianco's and other places but Cibo has the perfect crust! It's soft, chewy, burnt to the right crisp. We ordered the caprese salad and the fungi pizza. Two great choices you can't go wrong. We also ordered the fresca for desert and it was delicious. I couldn't stop picking at the kiwi, which was with other fresh fruits they used for this enormous dessert dish. Cibo gets all my 5 stars and more! read more

I've been here a few times and Cibo seems to follow the same story as many of the restaurants downtown - quaint atmosphere, great service, mediocre food. I've had various pizzas and calzones and antipasto/salads, and haven't been truly impressed with any of them in the sort of take-a-bite-and-exclaim-with-joy kind of way. But they are definitely all solid. Perhaps it's just the New Yorker in me that can't cope with "gourmet-style" pizza - I'm not sure ANY pizza would ever leave me feeling like I've had an incredible culinary experience. So no fault to Cibo. Anyway. . .if the pizza only gets you halfway to orgasm, then any of the nutella crepes will put you over the top and have you begging for more. I can appreciate an outstanding finish like that to a good meal. And, of course, the converted house appeal with a nice patio and great service is always appreciated. read more

The reason I love this place is its atmosphere. Once again it proves my theory on great establishments being located in residential houses in downtown Phoenix. I highly recommend sitting outside because the inside, though pretty and serene, can get a tad cramped on a Saturday night, and my friend had to use a candle to read the menu because the place was so dimly lit. The Pizza is simply DELECTABLE! Especially with the price that you will pay, and the selection of pizza dishes are very unique compared to other places in the valley. I wish this place was a tad bigger to alleviate the claustrophobia I get every time I sit inside. It would also help the wait that one will have to endure. I've waited as long as 45-minutes for a seat. Service is ok, but the food makes up for all the mistakes this place may have. read more

I stumbled upon this place the other night for dinner with a friend, and had a lovely evening. Great price point on bottles of wine as much of them are under $30. The antipasto plate is the best in the city, and is great in nibbling on while catching up with friends. The crowd is mixed and matched with the typical graduate-school hipsters on dates and large families with well-behaved children who can amuse themselves without flimsy colouring mats. The pizzas, Quattro Formaggi and Siena, I did not care too much about them; however, I would not pass another opportunity in trying another type of pizza. Desert was what desert should be; shareable, simple, and sweet. Who knew vanilla ice cream, a freshly made crepe, and seasonal fruit with whipped cream could taste so good and be so fun. Yums! read more

Love! Love! I love to write this first review of mine here on Yelp and share what I've got here at Cibo. Trying this spot with my boyfriend was an amazing and fulfilling experience. Everything was the best and worth cherishing. An Italian place that had a numerous selection so if you were a picky eater, this is the perfect place for you. We had the Margherita Pizza, White Pizza, Pear Salad, and Nutella Crepe. Everything was exceptional and the best. So much delightful and worth it for the time and experience. Inside, the place had a wonderful vibe and very tidy as well. It had a comfortable ambiance and the overall experience here was so much great. Looking forward to being back and be gratified again. Until next time Cibo. Keep safe and have a great day everyone! read more

Must say their pizza and more specifically their pizza sauce is heaven sent! In all of the times I have been to Cibo I must say that the food has been spot on however during the last three visits we have had just horrible service. Once we were told the wait would be close to an hour and it turned into 3 hours. The next time while sitting out on the patio listening to music our waitress came by twice in an hour and a half. When we asked her "Is it busy tonight?" Her reply was no its pretty slow tonight. What? So you must be ignoring us on purpose then. Great food and atmosphere is only half the equation. To be a really great restaurant you also need great, friendly, helpful service and unfortunately at this time Cibo is still lacking in that department. read more

I have always really enjoyed this place. The patio is outstanding, a perfect for a nice date night or relaxing experience with friends and the food is consistently great. My recent dining experience was enhanced by the friendly bartender. I had many wine questions and he allowed me to sample and a wide variety and was so pleasant. It really was a great way to start the evening while waiting for our table. Often times bartenders get annoyed and get snobby as they dislike pouring samples, although they do it for you. But you feel their irritation. This guy was genuine and so nice. I wish I remembered this guys name....he deserves recognition for outstanding customer service and making my wait time for a table seem like nothing! Thanks Cibo read more

Pretty much you could not make this place any better unless you could make it bigger, which I have heard rumored might be happening. The atmosphere is perfect - a charming old house and great patio. We once went with a group of 28 and had dinner on the patio and it was perfect. Food Suggestions - the Antipasto platter - it is a must, the best in Phx The pizzas are also great and I have heard the crepes as well, but I myself and not a huge crepe fan, so have not tried them out. If you don't live in the downtown area and are headed down for a sporting or cultural event, this should be your first stop. Only issue would be parking - its a really small lot, but you can usually snag a spot on the street pretty easy. read more

To make matters worse, our server couldn't remember who ordered what and refused to split our check because of it. The atmosphere also feels dated, and the pasta lacked texture, reminding me more of overcooked cafeteria noodles than fresh Italian food. The only thing that lasted longer than the meal was the aftermath. I've been "Tutti-ing" since Tuesday, and my partner is about ready to file a noise complaint. Safe to say, we won't be returning.

The food, decor, and ambiance are fantastic. My family and I ate at L'Amore 2 nights in a row, and had we discovered it earlier in our vacation, we would have gone every single night (not kidding). While we've had equally delicious meals at other restaurants (all over the world), we have NEVER experienced such friendly, accommodating and welcoming service as what we received at L'Amore. I said to my husband "this must be what it feels like to be a member of a private club", and he agreed. We have an adult son with autism who will only eat a few dishes at restaurants. I called several restaurants to see if they serve chicken tenders and french fries; ALL of the restaurants we called said no-- until I called L'Amore. When I explained our situation, I was connected to the kitchen, explained our situation, and the chef immediately asked his staff if they had any potatoes to make french fries. (French fries are not on the menu). They said yes, and the chef said they'd be happy to make french fries for our son. When we arrived at L'Amore that evening, the owner/manager came by our table to welcome us. Our server, Sal, could not have been nicer, and addressed our son by his first name all evening. His co-manager assisted our son in accessing his iPad via their WiFi. When we returned the second night, the young male concierge welcomed us by name (even though we hadn't told him our name yet), and both managers visited our table that night. Sal was helpful in navigating the menu, recommended a wine by the glass that is typically only served as a bottle, and was incredibly kind and attentive all evening, without ever being intrusive. My husband and I were so moved by the kindnesses shown to our family. We'll never forget it, and look forward to returning to L'Amore on future vacations. Thank you, L'Amore for rekindling my faith in humanity.

This was brought to the servers attention and it was very clear that he couldn't care less, has to flat out tell him we expected a re-fire on the plate since who knew if it was safe to eat. When he returned with the "new" plate (which we question if it was really remade or if they just moved it to a new plate) he ended up blaming it on the guest saying he must have broken off a piece from the salt grinder but then it took us pointing out that if that's the case he should probably remove the broken grinder before it happens to someone else.
