Cibo Wine Bar - Yorkville

I came here for my 23rd birthday with a party of 7. Food was great but I found the music was a bit too loud as we had to yell to talk to each other. I was a bit upset because we were seated in the downstairs area and I wanted to be on the main floor.

Everything was exceptional!

I would definitely come back with my fiancée, friends and family.

Experience was good. Table assigned was close to the pizza oven so it was very hot.

Consistently great food - recommend the diablo pizza!

Your staff were excellent! they accommodated my large group of friends in the private dining room so that we wouldn't be seated at separate tables throughout the restaurant.
they were attentive and very helpful.

Pros
- quality menu, sufficient variety
- location is nice
- lots of space, not too crowded

Cons
- AC not keeping the place cool. Everyone was visibly sweating.
- waiter apologized for forgetting about us after we waited a long time for the bill and had to ask another staff who was cleaning tables if she could get the cheque. He had gone downstairs and admitted he forgot to come back up to us.
- extremely loud
- tiramisu was either old or just very poor quality.
- several grappa options were unavailable

I’ve had better experiences at the king street location, but I’d try this one again to see if the place can do better. It’s not fair to write a place off after only one visit. I like the Cibo brand and hope it’s better here next time.

I planned to take my father, who is wheelchair bound, out to a fun dinner in Yorkville. I’d requested a wheelchair accessible table on my Open Table reservation. I even called the restaurant and confirmed this request. They assured me that they had wheelchair accessible seating. Unfortunately, when we got there, it was evident that the whole restaurant is NOT wheelchair accessible. There was no way to get the wheelchair through the door; couldn’t even get it into the patio. I was very disappointed since i had literally confirmed it with the receptionist earlier that day. Anyway, we left and had a fabulous dinner at a bistro near by. Won’t be going back to Cibo anytime soon.

This restaurant has really gone downhill over the years. I used to be great but the food and service have really taken a dive and you're much better off going someone else in Yorkville. I think the only reason it's still open is because of the prime location.

Excellent venue for lunch in Yorkville. Food, atmosphere and service were very good.

Great food. Service needs work. Cibo is a casual restaurant. That being said, one should expect appropriate steps of service. We ordered cocktails and wine with dinner. The server brought out everything at once. I was tasting my wine while having a negroni. The table was over crowded with glassware and the wine bottle. No sooner had we got our drinks all the starters came out. The table was already so full that the plates barely had anywhere to go. Before our starters were cleared away they brought out our mains. We then had to engage in a juggling dance of consolidating food that is still to be eaten, passing dirty plates and exchanging them for mains...which again had very little room to go. I’m not entirely sure if Cibo is a “keep your cutlery” joint but we had little choice but to do so. The food came out so quickly I don’t even think our server expected it as we were not offered pepper or cheese. So we had to go without. I checked my watch and our entire meal was served in 45 minutes. Although the food was great the dinning experience was marred by rushed service. Not sure if I’d return to this location.

Cibo has always been a favourite of ours so a eview is likely to be comparing pevious visits.
The funghi was good but not as good as previous visits. The crispy tout was tasty, but the skin was not crispy! My cannelloni was delicious.
The music was not loud, but had an insistent beat which was occasionally annoying.

It will not stop us from going back!

I’ve been multiple times in the last few years and i can tell the food has gone very downhill as well as raising prices. Food quality is not as good as it used to be, no interest in going back.

I like Cibo's. But it was my impression that we were given a poor table (though better tables were available) because our group was not young & fashionably dressed.

Too hot, loud, ok food

Excellent service. Delicious meal. Wouldn’t go for dessert but everything else was very good (mushroom risotto, ravioli, focaccia, olives), especially paired with Borollo.

Great food!

The restaurant is great, but the reservation operator has a problem. In the last 3 weeks you ask me 3 times about no show and all of them I was there...

Service was disaster and food does not taste any italian whatsoever.

Quality of Food did not equal the price. Lobster ravioli smelled fishy and came cold. Veal chop was not up to hight quality as reflected in price. Will not return for a meal here

Came here for the happy hour deal- half priced wine! The polenta fries were really good and so was the panacotta! Nice place to catch up with friends after work.

Food is always good, I find that it is displayed different depending what chef is cooking it. Also service was bad it was Father’s Day, my server didn’t wish my dad a happy Father’s Day and the server showed up at the table maybe 2 times and when she finally did it was time to pay. The restaurant was not busy ether, where bad service would be understandable.

Staff were pleasant and accommodating as we were running late. We were seated by the kitchen which was warm they were nice enough to change our seating. Food and drink were good for the value. Good overall experience would recommend.

Lovely experience- the food was great, the service wonderful, and everyone was very kind to my elderly mom!

The food was outstanding, as were our servers.
It was noisy, but that’s ok. It was cool that they put up a big screen for the Raptors game :)

Overall a great experience, and we will definitely be back !

Very nice. First time there and a good menu.
I would go again.

We met an out of town friend staying in Yorkville, for dinner. The location is perfect and service was very good. The food was fairly good too.

The restaurant was very nice. Found the food okay. Was disappointed not to get bread and olive oil that the other CIBO offers.

Overall nice experience. Found the Steak Spiducci tough and chewy. Everything else was great.

Overall experience was really disappointing!! The food standard has dropped so much! The only enjoyable dish was the calamari. After we were seated our server asked us if it was our first time here, I told her no because I used to work here a long time ago. Maybe that was a mistake because firstly she never offered or served any bread in our table! Our food was cold, the pasta was too oily and it wasn't boiled properly. It took more than 10 mins to get a coke refill and when she finally brought us the bill it wasn't presented well. I've worked at this very restaurant and been to other fine dining restaurants and I've never seen a bill (receipt) being folded and left on the table. Not inside a book, nothing. She just dropped the piece of paper on our table and left to get the machine. It was my anniversary dinner and I brought my boyfriend here because of the reputation they were know to have but the treatment made him feel like we were being discriminated against! Now I don't know if that was because I mentioned I worked there before or because we were Brown. Either way it was a really disappointing experience as a customer. This is not what I was expecting from a fine dine restaurant.

We have dined here a few times and have always found the food to be very good and the service equally impressive.

My experience at Cibo was good, however something happened that really bothered me, when i was ordering the wine i chose an italian wine called primitivo, it was one the wines the restaurant recommended and it was priced at 45 CAD, when i ordered it the waitress failed to mention that there is another primitivo on the menu and priced at 75 CAD, it was a long menu and I didn’t notice it my self, so when the bill came i was surprised and had to look at the issue till i found out at the menu
I would have appreciated the waitress mentioning that there are two primitivo on the menu and specify which one i wanted to order

It’s always great and nice place to have a meal.

The place is great! Appetizers perfect (grilled octopus and fried polenta)... my husband's gnocchi was great. I believe I chose the wrong dish... Orecchiette with spicy italian sausage, nothing special about it. Very good wine cellar.

Food was average, asked for a quiet table and ended up in the middle of the noisiest part of the restaurant. Service was sporadic and server disappeared at the end and waited 20 minutes to pay. Unacceptable.

Juan is great! Thank you for your kindness

It was ok. They are charging fine dining prices for relatively simple Italian fare.

Manager with died silver hair should not play with her hair in the kitchen. It was disgusting.

Perfect place for a bottle of wine and some spuntini before the show. Highly recommended

Very good food, service and atmosphere. Definitely coming back.
