    Great food, several vegetarian options, fairly quiet for a Wednesday lunch hour, much more comfortable than the other place they were located.

    The menu here seems more like a lunch menu with paninis, wraps and salads, but everything we had was very tasty even for dinner. I would definitely come here again.

    Jeanette, the owner, is always there, overseeing the kitchen and greeting customers in a most casual, friendly manner. Food selections are diverse and tasty.

    I feel as if we unfortunately dined here on a bad night, and that a typical evening would have been a better experience. Made 6pm reservations to dine ahead of a show at Proctors, but arrived only to find that the dinner menu was "cancelled" for the evening. Only three dinner options available as the chef was reworking the menu. Additionally, the wine list was not at all accurate, as the only wines available were not listed. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food we ate was good. Hopefully the next time will be better

    We arrived with our table for 6 already reserved and set. We were given a warm welcome by our server who maintained this level of service throughout our night. It is a small and intimate setting of tables. Perhaps the lighting could have been a little more dim for ambiance but it was fine. 5 out of 6 of us ordered the Bel Cibo special pasta with shrimp. It was delicious. The menu items are mostly wraps and paninis but they had a limited selection of dinner entrees and salad was served family style. It was all very tasty. We will definitely go here again. Great place to go before a show at Proctors!

    The food and service was outstanding. We ate here before a show at Proctors and were running a little late. The waitress was extremely friendly and supportive with getting us served and out in time to make the show. The food was very fresh and the presentation was very good as well. Couldn't have been happier with the experience. We will definitely eat here again.

    Loved the food and decor but would not recommend sitting in window. My husband was sweating the hole time with the lights shining down on him. Otherwise everything was great

    Bel Cibo is such a hidden gem of downtown Schenectady. The food is great with fun flavor combinations, the noise level was perfect, portioning is above any other local restaurants, the owner was very personable and friendly with all customers giving it a home like feel. By far of the small local businesses Bel Cibo is one of my personal favorites.
