    Lingcod
    Winnie S.

    It was a very enjoyable dinner as like last time we are here a while ago. Humboldt squid was a star. It was perfectly cooked and paired with a tasty pesto sauce. Our lingcod was cooked just right, flaky and juicy but a bit more seasoning is required as it was not salted at all. However I rather have it under salted than over salted. Another party in our group had the mushroom and sausage cannelloni and it was very tasty.

    Sea Scallop Linguine

    The ambience and service was amazing. Honestly though the food was average at best. I had the chicken piccata, it was over salted, and lacked flavour. We also had the Sea scallop linguine. Three scallops, and it was also over salted and lacked real flavour. They have an impressive wine list, and great service,I expected more from the food. Maybe an off night?

    I came here on New Year's Eve, it was tasty. They had the option of a set menu, so I went with that. I had a tasty, fruity cocktail. We shared the burrata, it was excellent. I had the salad and I sampled the beef carpaccio. Both appetizers were excellent. I had the salmon Wellington for dinner. It was really tasty and came with asparagus and potatoes. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I sampled the duck entree which was also tasty. I had the lemon cake and I sampled the tiramisu which was definitely the winner. Overall, it was an excellent dinner.

    Came here in September for brunch on a Saturday and it was completely empty. As much as I feel sad for the restaurant, it was an awesome experience for me. We sat right next to an open window, so I felt very safe about my dine-in experience. We ordered the build your own mimosa set and it was super cute. Apparently our ratios of juice to alcohol was completely incorrect but I think that's the beauty of making it yourself :) I've also never tried a watermelon or mango mimosa before but they paired super well. All the brunch items were also very delicious. The price is great as well, since all their brunch items are just $15 and they have a lot of nice options. They also offered us French toast at the end for dessert since we were celebrating an anniversary. It was super sweet of them and it tasted fantastic like everything else. Overall a good experience. The server was really nice as well.

    We had an enjoyable Italian dining experience at Cibo Trattoria. Buon Appetito! Focaccia Bread Bread is served with olive oil and vintage balsamic vinegar. It was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Cannelloni di maiale Cannelloni is a cylindrical type of lasagna and baked with a filling. The stuffings include braised pork and ricotta. Its Tuscan kale puree goes well with the Focaccia bread. Their pasta dishes are small and served as a second course. Tiramisu It was presented like an ice-cream sandwich. It was very tasty! Cibo Trattoria is located in downtown Vancouver. It is attached to the Moda hotel at 900 Seymour Street, Vancouver BC. It is nice and modern unique decor. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: ‍‍‍‍4/5 Kids: 3/5 A-OK for kids. Price: $50-$100 for two Presentation: 2/5 Parking: Paid street parking Tips: *has a cozy atmosphere. *recommends to make a reservation. Would I Return: Yes ‍

    I was looking for a restaurant downtown where my colleague and I can go for lunch. I came accross Cibo Trattoria. Had to give this place a try. I didn't realize my colleague can't take carbs but they were able to make her something slightly different on the menu. I got the duck ragu on the other hand. It was ok. The name entails a lot of duck in the dish but this was not the case. Its basically pasta with pasta sauce and chunks of beef and pork. Well to be fair, I was warned by the server that the pasta sauce has beef and pork in it and not much duck. I knew about this before ordering. The menu is so limited that I didn't know what to order. I should have chose the meatball instead. I got bread to go with it and the bread seems to taste better than the main. Decor was ok. When we came here there was no one. The restaurant was empty the entire time we came here for lunch. Not a wow restaurant.

    Tagliatelle Bolognese
    Tiff H.

    Our first meal in Vancouver and it was a doozy. Cibo Trattoria is the hotel restaurant for the Moda Hotel - it was odd when we walked in on a Friday during peak lunch hour and there was no one else eating there. There was free hotel WiFi - a necessity when traveling from the US. They offered a brunch menu even though it was Friday - their brunch and lunch menu is available everyday. I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese, which was tasty and really hit the spot - because, duh, carbs. However it wasn't anything super memorable. On the other hand, my friend ordered the French toast was phenomenal. The focaccia French toast was topped with a mascarpone citrus curd and fruit compote that made for a fruity and tart combination. I've never had anything quite like it. Overall, Cibo Trattoria has a solid brunch menu. While the lack of customers made it seem a little worrisome, our food was satisfying and insta-worthy!

    Zeppole
    Chloe C.

    This is a decent restaurant, but not mind-blowing. This is technically 3.5 stars, but I am rounding it down because prices are a little high for what you get. Eggplant parmesan (3.5/5) Good flavour but a little soggy, although it might be because I ordered delivery. Brussel sprouts (4/5) Nice and flavourful, though they could be a little crispier and were a smidge too salty. Zeppole (2.5/5) Not too sweet, but a little too bread-y for me.

    Sablefish
    Vicky C.

    Cibo was pretty delicious. Really enjoyed the sablefish. Only note is the risotto was too lemony. The squab was pretty good too. The lobster pasta was okay. I wish the pasta was a larger portion and a bit more flavourful. The beef carpaccio was delicious. I also loved the romantic atmosphere. Perfect for date night! Oh and don't forget dessert. The Apple galette is perfection.

    I dined at Cibo Trattoria with a group of 8 ladies and we sat in the back room. The room was cozy and elegant, keep in mind that their WIFI doesn't work in the room. Pictures turned out a little dark, but overall we enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was delicious and it'll be a repeat for us. I had 2 stand out dishes, which were: Tagliatelle alla Bolognese - slow cooked pork and beef ragu. I forgot to take a picture so I can't remember what kind of pasta they used, but it was perfectly al dente. Loved it. Bone Marrow - fatty goodness, which we used our toast to scoop every last bite up. Topped with a few pickled vegetables. Service was spectacular. Our waiter was funny and attentive. The manager checked on us twice to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Authentic Italian food, great selection of Italian wines. The staff treated us amazingly. Big portions and beautifully plated dishes. My wife and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and the staff entertained us with some bubbly wine form Asti. On the house. We tried the 4 course sicilian menu and it was all delicious and beautifully plated. Great ambience, and super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'm making this place my new favorite Italian restaurant in the city we are definitely coming back!

    Cibo Trattoria was bookmarked on my Yelp for long time and we finally tried it with promotion offered. From my past experience, the restaurant on promotion (over 40% off or 1/2 price menu) usually implied the business going downwards. Cibo Trattoria wasn't on my top list to check it out but it was Travelzoo deal and ok to try it. When we walked in, the place was empty on Sunday night. After we got seated and presented our voucher to the waiter when we ordering. However, he told us they're not accepting QR code and printed copy only. Not kidding, why you just marked the voucher as redeemed on my phone and it will be redeemed or voided. He asked me to send the email to hotel email and let them printed for me. We ordered appy and main to share, all were disappointed. Beef carpaccio - traditional Italian dish but the beef was a bit dry and not fresh. Duck breast - it was a bit overcooked and chewy. Bison rib - gamey and tasty salty. Tiramisu - it was mediocre and some of homemade tiramisu better than that. Overall not that great of an experience, I would not go back for even half price menu.

    Duck breast
    Sangeetha M.

    Not sure why this place doesn't get more customers! It's cozy and the interior is really great. I've passed by it and always see a lot of tables available so assumed it wasn't the best but I'm glad I gave it a shot. It's great for a date as it's connected to uva the drinks are amazing. Their food menu is good too, I had the anatra (duck) and tried a few bites of the branzino (sea bass). The duck breast wasn't very rich or heavy and I still felt a bit hungry after. Some sort of carbs would've been nice with it. The sea bass was tasty. None of their desserts stood out to me so didn't end up having dessert. The downside was that it took ages for the food to come. There were only 2 other tables in the entire restaurant while I was there so it was shocking that it took that long when they weren't even busy.

The food was quite decent. I thought the prices were a bit inflated for just pasta, but the portion size was pretty massive -- most of us took leftovers to go.

    My friends and I recently shared a few dishes here, and while the flavors were truly impressive,…read morethe portion sizes left us wanting more. We started with the complimentary bread, which was a total highlight. Each person gets a fresh slice that has an incredible crust and a soft, pillowy center--dipping it into the oil and vinegar was the perfect way to start the meal. For our mains, the Gnocchi Asparagi e Funghi was my favorite - the gnocchi themselves were clearly handmade and had a great texture that didn't feel heavy. The earthy mushrooms and asparagus worked really well with the parmesan cream, which was rich but didn't overpower the other flavors. The Squid Ink Linguine ai Frutti di Mare was also solid; the lobster bisque base gave it a deep, savory saltiness that coated the clams, prawns, and scallops perfectly without making the dish feel too "fishy." We also tried the Candele Al Ragù D'Anatra. The duck ragu was tender and savory, and the combination of the parmesan fondue and aged asiago added a nice, sharp saltiness that made every bite really satisfying. Everything we ate was seasoned perfectly and tasted fresh, it's just a shame the portions were so small because the flavors were definitely there. The service was excellent and very attentive; I especially appreciated that they were constantly on top of refilling my water throughout the night. The ambience also hit the right note, making it a great spot for a night out. However, the portions are definitely on the smaller side and aren't super filling. Even though every dish tasted amazing, we weren't full by the end of the meal, so it's something to keep in mind if you're arriving with a big appetite.

The seafood ravioli was tasty and I'd have it again. The pappardelle was decent although didn't have as much depth or complexity of flavour as it could've.

The restaurant was cute, cozy, and could seat us right away so we decided to give it a try. We got the poached pear salad and enjoyed it! The pears were delicious and a very refreshing salad. It did come with burrata on top which was a bit disappointing since it wasn't gooey at all. For our mains, we split the pesto rigatoni and the special which was also a rigatoni with white wine, capers, shrimp and lemon. First off, the noodles are delicious on both dishes. They are clearly handmade in the best way possible. Very tender, delicate, and almost melt in your mouth. The pesto dish was perfect but again the burrata on top was disappointing since it was sort of tough/dry and not gooey. The special dish was very good but the lemon was quite strong. Initially it was a bit too much but it did grow on you over time and I did like the dish. We ended with a tiramisu and while it was delicious, there wasn't much of the bread/cake/cookie part as it was mostly cream. Overall, it was fun to try a new place but I expected a more for the price point. For $35 per plate plus salad and dessert it was a very expensive dinner and we weren't full.
