    I made a request for an anniversary note & 2 glasses of wine to be delivered to the table - both of the special requests were handled beautifully! Food & service continued to be great. The room was a little louder than expected, but the noise was nothing compared to places like Boston Pizza (for almost the same prices & better food/service at Cibo). Overall, it was a great place to celebrate our anniversary <3 Thank you Cibo!!

    We were a party of six for dinner. We enjoyed the location and ambiance however the food was just ok. Three in the party had pasta dishes and commented the flavour was just ok, nothing special. One had the Chicken Club with fries and it was very good. Two of us had pizzas and they were decent. Location is great although hard to find parking. Downside was charging $9.00 for a watered down lemonade which was way over priced! This was our second time there and I might give it one more try in time. I would recommend it and see if things improve.

    We dined at Cibo for my daughters 21st and my husbands 57th birthdays. I did make the reso late but requested a table by the windows. I was so disappointed when we arrived and we were seated in the middle of the dining room. It was quite busy with people walking all around us. The evening manager Taylor came up to us and said she could move us to a table where we requested. It made a huge difference for us! She was extremely accommodating, super friendly, and literally changed the experience around for us. The food was very good - we had ordered the Arancini, pepperoni pizza, fettuccine, chorizo pasta, pickerel, and a smash burger. The food was PIPING hot and everyone enjoyed and raved about the meal. We really enjoyed everything, but I really must thank Taylor for her exceptional hospitality.

    4 of us went out for a birthday celebration. 3 of had pizza, one ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. The pizza crust is to die for, I wish I could duplicate the texture and airiness of the crust when making pizza or calzones on my Big Green Egg. The double pepperoni has a bite to it, the drunken mushrooms pepperoni is really really good, and the steak sandwich was ample in proportion and also good. The only issue with this business is the lack of close parking. Definitely going back though.

    Overall excellent experience! The service was very accommodating and pleasant! Other than if you have never been there before and not sure exactly where it is located because of its position behind another building, parking would be the only concern here, the same as it is for any place in the area. I would recommend this place to my friends for sure!

    Easily one of the top 5 restaurants in Winnipeg. Incredible food and service on Mother’s Day. Pizza, chicken parm, pasta and smash burgers were regarded as the “best I’ve ever had” by each of us. Very well done.

    The food was very good. Appetizers were delicious - we had some of the bruschetta and calamari. The main dishes were pretty good but not over the top amazing. Prices were a bit steep for what you get. The ambiance was great on the patio. Service was incredibly slow. Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the main dish was very slow to come out. In fact, we saw a table come in well after us and they got their food way before us and even left after eating before we got our meal. Could definitely improve on that aspect.

    Brunch on the patio. Reservation for 1130, they seemed a bit unprepared for guests that early, but we're pleasant, albeit perhaps a bit rushed. We'll made breakfast, breakfast sandwich and french toast we're there tasty.

    Made a reservation for 4 with 1 person in a wheelchair. Everything was great from the wheelchair access to the food and drinks. Maybe a little slow with the food but it was a Saturday and it was busy. This was not our first time at Cibo nor will it be our last. So many great menu items we will be back to try more!

    Service and location were great. Food was okay at best. The bruschetta was pretty terrible. An ice cold pile of mushrooms on some lukewarm soggy bread. The other two bruschetta options were slightly less bad. The burgers were ok.
