    Don has a delicious vision that we enjoy thoroughly: great popovers, homemade pasta, fantastic steak (this Feb) and a midcentury fun vibe. This is destination dining, not a casual evening out.

    My sister and I are visiting from VA, we came across this place on yelp. And the menu just spoke to us. The food was super yummy. To me it is the definition of Comfort food. We really enjoyed our meal here!

    We had a reservation for dinner, and were promptly seated upon arrival. The place is cute, cozy, and we love a good open kitchen view. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt and helped us with any questions we had about the menu. Our favourites were definitely the appetizers, but all of the food was absolutely delicious. We were on the last day of dry-January, so we’re looking forward to returning this next month to try some of the fabulous looking cocktails they had on the menu. Excellent place, food, and service overall. We will certainly be back!

    I have been going to Cibo for 10+ years. Always excellent service and food. I love sitting at the bar and watching the action at the pizza oven. The tables and booths are great for a more intimate evening. Looking forward to my next visit!!

    We went at 5:30 on a Saturday. CL was only about 1/4 full. Service was excellent and professional; menu options are relatively few (4 main dishes), but they were al excellently done and without any problems. The pizza was exceptionally good. About 6:30 they turned on the "background" music that was way too loud. After we requested it, they did turn it down a bit. Note that a 10% gratuity is added for the "back office/kitchen/cleaners", and you can tip the server separately. Personally, I wish they wold just raise their prices to cover the costs instead of adding a 10% mandatory for non-service staff, but that does not detrac from the dining experience.
