Nice lit restaurant. Bad attitude from female Maitre D. Our reservation was for 5 pm. Arrived at…read more450 pm, only to find the doors locked. Waited outside in freezing and windy Winnipeg weather. Doors opened exactly at 5. Two other couples were waiting with us, dressed for the opera. Freezing. When I mentioned my displeasure to the female maître D, she stated it was for safety reasons (hers, definitely not ours) and also stated business hours were listed on our reservation email (they weren't). Complete lack of ownership for having your paying custOmer's waiting outside in freezing cold. No matter how nice the mea was, this attitude put a damper on our anniverosary dinner. Will not be recommending and won't be returning anytime soon

Ordered the olive plate. It didn't specify warm or cold. (Didn't get a photo) but it came with a…read moreslightly warm toasted baguette, weird (because it didn't go with the olives) shredded vegan cheese; and the olives were ice cold. The different contrast made it an undesirable combination. Told the waiter, who was not very nice, even from the get go! He just took the plate without trying to fix or make it "right". He came back and I inquired, " so, you're not going to fix or rectify this " "uh, I took it off your bill" and walked away. Was not very welcoming. My friends even said so. There were interesting art pieces on the wall but didn't really look around. I got a pizza (vegan) it was meh... I don't really want pizza. Then my friends got the calamari which they loved; along with a pasta and some beef entree which they both loved. Probably will not ever go back.

We have a tremendous meal at the Cibo cafe during a short visit to Winnipeg in July. Even though…read moreit was a beautiful evening, we sat inside at a wonderful table for 4 in the back of the restaurant at a table with a view over the river. This section is elevated above the main floor and has wonderful golden leather chairs where I could have lingered for hours. The menu is broad with Italian, Spanish, and even African dishes so it's not hard to find something tempting. To start we shared some bruschetta-there are six varieties and you can choose 3. We LOVED the pear/prosciutto as well as the Brie/apple varieties but the standard tomato variety was also great. At 6 pieces to an order you need 4 people (like us) unless you're only having a salad (like my wife) as your main. We also tried the Piri Piri chicken-very flavorful, the paella-yummy, and the chicken and chorizo pasta. They serve cocktails and the margarita and the whiskey sour were both standouts for their quality even if they were a touch lite on booze. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Loved the vibe, location and service. Recommended.

The ambiance is really nice inside, it gives out a vibe for date night or something similar. One unique thing that I appreciated here is that most of the pasta dishes come in two sizes.

Very unique dishes, very unique taste, and even for a small two small dishes is more than enough for me. For under $30 this was more than worth it. Service was excellent, which culminates my positive experience here. Definitely worth the hype and a return visit in the future.

The calamari was pretty satisfying too. Not too crunchy. The second time I went with my friend that loves 1980s music and he ordered a lasagna and it showed up on a moon dish and it was watery and mushy and I am not sure he liked it. He said the chicken Parmesan was good last time though. The bread served at the beginning was fresh but not as pleasant, same feeling for the buttery spread. My spinach dip was enjoyable though but the bread squares with Parmesan salt was too salty and it made my brain fast. The mozzarella cheese triangles were perfect though.

Poutine was decent - not the best I've had in town but not the worst. The portion was very small, and I was surprised to see it priced almost as much as an entree on the bill - they don't have it on the menu a la carte but you can upgrade a side of fries to poutine for $4. Since the pasta dish didn't normally come with fries I asked if they could just do a side of poutine and they said yes (and then charged $14 for it). It wasn't worth it. The blackened chicken fettuccine was disappointing. Our host highly recommended it, and it's a dish I generally enjoy enough I even make it at home. The blackening rub they use had almost no spice, which to me defeats part of the point of "blackened" chicken - the taste was more on the herby side. The noodles themselves were bland and the sauce was almost non-existent - sadly underseasoned. I chopped the chicken up into tiny bits and mixed it all together so that they flavors from the chicken could add at least some excitement to the pasta, but while it helped it didn't quite save the dish. Overall the experience was fairly mediocre. Maybe I should have gotten a burger, but I went with the host's recommendation instead for a dish I normally quite enjoy and came away disappointed. The price of the side of poutine is on me - I didn't ask ahead of time. But it came out to be nearly double what I'd expected for half as much as I'd thought it would be.
