Went to Via Cibo to celebrate a coworker's birthday today. It was chilly today and surprisingly Cibo was moderately busy at around 11:45am. We ordered a bunch of item to share between 5 people. Ordered two pizza (Pepperoni and Prosciutto E Arugula), one pasta (Sausage & Broccolini), one salad (Tuscan Kale), and two appetizers (Tuscan Fries & Bruschetta). Overall, meal was very satisfying. The pizza crust was okay, the center got soggy but it was thin with some good flavour. Pepperoni was spicy, and there was a lot of Prosciutto! Pasta was very delicious and the sauce was spicy but i really enjoyed it. The kale salad was flavourful and refreshing, with the crunch of some peanuts it was perfect. Tuscan Fries was a good starter and has a very good sauce. The bruschetta was alright we could have went without it. Do recommend Cibo. I wish we got some desserts but had to rush back to work.

This recently opened fast casual eatery offers Italian style pizza, flatbreads, pasta, salads and gelato in the south side development The decor is airy and stunning: for a quickservice resto: soaring high ceilings with industrial loft ambiance, very current. Leave that aside, it is an overpriced fast food offering sit down restaurant prices We ordered the carbonara pasta ($10) which had a smallish decent portion served on a ceramic plate with a 2" slice of crusty bread. You would look deep into the late to find the hint of small tidbits of bacon and sauce ingredients. You have to add $5 or $6 if you want any small size protein like chicken or chorizo. A bit of a ripoff. The steak Italian was actually a good sandwich; at $14 it was overpriced even if it came with the a small and very tiny portion of salad. The steak was good, small thin shavings of real grilled similar to the ones found in Vietnamese subs, except at like three to four times the price again this was tasty but not $14 tasty, worth about $9-10 at most... The beverages are overpriced too $3 for pop from a broken draft style dispenser in the dining room, meh #ripoff So way way way waaaaaay overpriced for what you get, decent food you can get elsewhere, the high ceilings and loft ambiance alone don't justify the high prices, the menu, overall experience and ingredients need to match to the high menu price, next! #GoodDecor #SkimpyPortions #RipOff #WayWayoverpriced

"This place is going to make me fat" You too might be saying this after your first meal here. The food is delicious and you'll be wanting to eat here every day. Unlike their downtown location, this is the fast and friendly version of Cibo. They are serving up Italian street food at prices that won't leave a hole in your pocket. You order first, take a number on a stand, and then find a table. The "street food" description could be a little misleading. Don't think food truck style meals. Think street-side cafe. The portions are lunch-sized but so are the prices. You won't be getting a big, heavy Italian meal; just something the right size to fill you up. The fiancee and I came on opening night. When we were driving home from work we saw the "now open" signs going up so we ran our errands and circled back to have dinner. The place was busy, but not packed. Just as fast as people were walking in, tables were turning over to make room for more. When you walk in you place your order first. There's a nice large menu that could be easily read if there is a long line. Its broken down into a few main categories like salads, wraps, pasta, pizza, and sides. The prices for the mains come in around the $9-14 range. My lady and I got the Pasta Al Pesto, Picante Pizza, and Tuscan Fries to share so that we could try a few things. The pasta was cooked nicely and had a good flavour. One of the ingredients was sun dried tomatoes which usually means there might be a few flecks scattered throughout the dish. Not in this bowl. There were nice big chunks of them and more than enough to bring out the amazing flavour they always have. The pizza was good and hit the spot, though not the best you can get for this style of pizza. If you want something fast with great ingredients then this is a good choice. However, if you want a pizza in this style that's done really well then this isn't the place for you. The crust was really wet. Yes I know that this is supposed to be a wet pizza, but this was a little too much. Maybe it should have been left in the oven for a few seconds longer. The tuscan fries were excellent. The rosemary flavour really carried throughout. The fries were light and crispy and the sauce on the side added a tang to finish it off. The service was great. You could see that all of the staff were eager with many of them sporting big smiles. We maybe had to wait five minutes before our meals came out. Closer to the end of our dinner the manager came around to ask how things were and to see if the food was satisfactory. Overall it was an excellent experience. I'll be back many times in the future, though probably not so often that I actually will get fat from eating here.

I've found my new favortie restaurant!!!!! I couldn't wait for this place to open and I must say it was worth the wait. My man and I went opening night and it was awesome. We walked in and there were already a few people inside. We walked up to the counter and were greeted by a friendly young man who seemed very eager to take our orders. Once we decided on what we were having we place the order and were given a number for our table, and were directed down the counter to the cashier. Another young man greeted us there and took our drink order and we payed. I have to say all the staff seemed happy to be there and there was excitement in the air. We took our drinks and found a table and I would have to say not even 15mins later we had our food! I couldn't believe how quick it was so impressive! The tuscan fries are to die for! And the pasta was cooked to prefection I was totally blown away with how delicious everything was! I will definitelybe returning on a regular basis to this place in the future.

Update: after vowing not to go back to Via Cibo, our friends wanted to meet us there just a couple of days after our initial visit. I told the manager what happened earlier in the week, and she was very apologetic and reduced the price of our meal. This time, all of the food was very good, as was the service. I still think it's a bit pricey, but Via Cibo is no longer on my boycott list :-) 3.5 stars (due to the price) We decided to check out Via Cibo for the first time for lunch today. After getting over the initial shock of the cost of lunch ($40 for two sandwiches and two sides and a $4 can of San Pellegrino), we took our first few bites of our meal. We immediately noticed that the salad served with the sandwiches was well past it's prime. After bringing this to the attention of a staff member, he said "oh sorry about that" and that was the end of it. Then I bit into my sandwich, and to my dismay, the tomato on the sandwich was completely rotten. The rest of the food was quite good - maybe they were just having a really off day. In any case, we won't be back. 1 star.

A special trip to Via Cibo is warranted after working up an appetite navigating the mazes of Ikea. The restaurant's name translates to "Street Food", which begs one to think of simple Italian yumminess: paninis, pizzas, sandwiches and pastas. The prices are slightly (about $1 to $2) cheaper than other local Italian restaurants with similar offerings (Famoso, Double Zero, Una). The ordering/paying process is cumbersome. You order at the first till, pay and grab a number at the second till at the other end of the counter, choose a table and they'll bring you your order. I'm going to tell you right now most of their menu is mediocre except their pizzas. You SHOULD spend your money and belly room on their pizzas. Their prosciutto arugula pizza is one of the best I've had in Calgary. I love the whole tomatoes in the sauce, the generous topping of arugula, and the flavorful prosciutto even though it was cooked.The crust is light and airy yet hearty enough to fill hungry bellies. They have a good selection of coffees, Italian sodas and Fiasco Gelato. We make our own floats with Sanpellegrino and Gelato. I love the self serve water fountain, chili oil, and chili flakes. Despite the convenience setup, the staff are nice and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised when they gave us freshly grated Parmesan after we couldn't find Parmesan shakers. They've got none of that sawdust powder most people lovingly call "cheese". If you happen to be in the area, skip the chain restaurants and get great quality pizza at Via Cibo. Your belly will thank you.

I called in a takeaway order...and drive to their location to pick it up. When I got there they told me that they didn't have my order ! I was tired and starving so we waited there another 20 mins for them to make our order. While they offered me a discount...the food was not good and obviously rushed. I would not eat here again- even if it was free.

This is an excellent place for lunch! Came here with some work friends and enjoyed the balsamic chicken salad and some pizza on the patio. The salad was one of the best I've ever had and the service was excellent and super fast. I highly recommend that everyone check out this place if you are in the area.

Excellent customer service. Always a great place to eat in Deerfoot Meadows, as a couple, with a group or by yourself. Remember Kids Eat Free on Monday's, Tuesday is $9 Pasta Night, Wednesday is $9 Pizza Night. You can "Save the Dishes" here, too. Recommend the Chicken & Portobello Entree, or if you feel like pizza, the Prosciutto E Arugula is a favourite- I like the Balsamic Glaze. Be sure to say hi to Sheen & Michael.!! :-)
