    The vibe is amazing, we are coming back at the end of the month! The music was a touch loud, but maybe if it was busier I wouldn’t have noticed. Food was great, house lager was also great!

    In general, the cafe menu is quite modest for a Mediterranean restaurant. So the place is more of a bar than a cafe. However, the food here is quite tasty, although uncomplicated. The service is fast and comfortable. There was live music on the summer terrace. In general, this cafe is attracted by its external setting and design, but this design plays against the cafe. This place is a former warehouse, so the acoustics inside are like a warehouse and all the noise is doubled by the echo. This is not very pleasant, so we moved to the summer area. And this eliminated the whole atmosphere, because of which we came to the cafe. The food is delicious and served on time. Drinks for every taste except tea. I didn't find loose leaf tea on the menu.

    Nice atmosphere, modern looking and cool environment. My only concern was the room was very cold and we were shivering. Quick service, good beer selection, food was good and reasonably priced. I would go back again, to try other foods and this place is more for friends or date night.

    Strange why there are 2 tables occupied and they place another group in the middle. There is limited separation which makes for business meetings to be reserved. The restaurant should think a little more about how they seat people at tables, don't be lazy!

    I’ve been do Cibo many times, it’s normally good but my group was extremely disappointed with the server. A few incidents: 1. When taking drink orders, 3/4 were getting alcoholic drinks and after taking orders he asked one of our wives “why aren’t you drinking”.. as if that’s any of his business. I shouldn’t have to explain why asking her “why aren’t you drinking” is inappropriate.. 2. He also said “you’ve probably had enough and reached for her plate” when she was 1/2 done her meal. I understand the rest of the party was done eating but she was simply a slow eater. Comments like those show the serves inexperience and unprofessionalism. I understand he was a young guy “trying his best” but it was still inappropriate.

    The waiter was quick , the water cold and filtered. The bruschetta was plain and flavourless. I had chicken parmigiana with spaghetti noodles, Plain and flavourless noodles under cooked chicken burnt at one end . My son had the chorizo sausage dish , plain and flavourless. My wife had the prawns and pasta, was very good . In and out in less than an hour .

    Went for the Le Burger Week entry and it was outstanding. All the flavors blended so well it was as melt-in-your-mouth fantastic. You know a burger is great when you feel sated (and not gross) after eating it. Restaurant was a bit too noisy for my tastes -- even coming early in the evening. I can only imagine how much worse it gets when it's packed with those acoustics. Some of the staff (not our server though) seemed bit a harried and rushed but I don't think most people would take notice of that. Overall, would totally recommend.

    We made reservations for 2 and were seated at a fantastic table. Had the burger week burger and it was awesome. The potato/prosciutto soup and Greek salad were also fantastic. I know from past experience that the fries are really good as well. Our waiter was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. All in all it was a most pleasurable dining experience.

    The olive platter appetizer was so not worth it. $9 for a handful of bland-tasting pitted (pitted!) olives which cost the restaurant, perhaps, $1.00.

The food is tasty with a very nice presentation, service is outstanding! I would recommend and will return to Cibo.

    The service was friendly and attentive, but we waited a long time for our appetizer. We all ordered pizzas and found them all limp and soggy in the middle - certainly not the crisp crust we are used to for some reason. The taste wasn’t compromised, but the texture was awful. Cibo’s will still be a favourite haunt - just an off-night.
