About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
This Kensington local favourite attracts fans from all over the capital who devoutly wish they had a Cibo - there's only one - in their street. The decor is cosy Mediterranean with truly unique artwork on the walls, with smaller rooms providing a sense of intimacy. The staff have that inimitable Italian welcome and capacity for fine service without a lot of fuss. Fish is a speciality of the house, so try pasta filled with crab in a special sauce to start, or the octopus, green bean and potato salad. Then go for the spaghetti with lobster in its own sauce, although the calves liver is delicious, too. Coffee with petits fours are on the don't miss list, too. Servings are huge and the pace is leisurely.

    Cibo is without doubt one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Gino and Sally are just great at what they do. Great dishes; great service and great atmosphere. I have been going there for over 30 years and have never had a bad meal. Long may it continue

    When reviewing Cibo in the past, I have often said that that visit was the best yet. And I say it again and this time, what was amazing was that the place was totally full, and yet the service was just as exceptional and smoothly run as always. Each course came in good time and was cooked to perfection. What leadership and what a team.

    I've been going to Cibo for over 25 years and it just gets better. The changing seasonal menu is superb, the service constantly wonderful, and in this is the geniune neighbourhood gem. Flawless!

    Outstanding place. What a hidden gem of an Italian cousine in my neighbourhood. The place is as admirable as the local people who go there! Will be back soon

    We went on a stormy Saturday night so wasn't completely full. Service was excellent and food great. My partner was particularly impressed with the crab/squid starter and the swordfish. We are always the last to leave but didn't feel rushed and. It's at the end of my road, so will certainly be returning.

    A marvellous evening in this elegant friendly restaurant. Good raw tuna and veal as antipasti then swordfish and an excellent mini ravioli filled with veal in a creamy black truffle sauce, followed by amazingly ingeious cannoli.
