Cibo Italiano

Amazing gnocchi! Haven't had any better and I have been tried gnocchi in Italy! Why travel across the world when you have it in your own backyard! As well as amazing staff!

I'm only missing caffe corretto for the true experience!

I wanted to provide an update after speaking with the owner regarding our experience.
The owner was extremely nice and apologetic and took immediate action to make it right.
Although it doesn't change our initial experience, it definitely means a lot that she really cares about the experience her patrons have and wanted us to give them another try which I think goes a long way.

We love Cibo. We ordered from their catering menu for our Holiday party and everyone couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was. We thought we'd have leftovers but almost all of it was gone. The chicken Marsala, potato gratin, and penne pasta were so flavorful. Their Kale salad is by far the best salad I've ever had. And you can't go wrong with their tiramisu.

We'll definitely be ordering more. And the owner is friendly and helpful. Thank you Cibo!

Service was great which is why they get one star. I got a sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and bruschetta to go. The total was $58 I stopped in on a whim so I wasn't really prepared but I thought that was pretty expensive nevertheless. It was 6.30pm on a Friday and deader than a doornail inside. When she handed me the bag it felt light considering how much I spent. Upon inspection in the car I thought I was missing the bruschetta. Turns out I wasn't. It was 3 of the tiniest slices of French bread. Like 2 inches each. For $7.95. That's not even the worst part.

The meatballs were SO small and came 3 for $15! I had no idea they were going to be that much by themselves! I paid $12.95 for the pasta and $15 for 3 meatballs?! The tiniest meatballs of life?! The size of a cheese ball. Unreal. I'm sick about it. This is why I always read menus in advance because you can get cheated!

Couldn't be more pleased with the charcuterie board I ordered from Cibo. It was an absolute piece of art and quite delicious. Thank you!!!

Cute Italian restaurant with authentic dishes~
Cibo is a small local mom and pop Italian restaurant, they have various choices of pasta, sandwich, and side dishes.
The store is located inside a small mall with other eateries, there are few table and outdoor seating.
They also have a small Italian grocery selling dried pasta, sauce, and condiments.
During lunch hours they have selected lunch deals ($15-$20).
My Bf got the lunch special carbonara which comes with a soda and small side salad ($20), I got the Turkey lasagna a la carte ($21). (Dinner comes with salad and bread).
The dishes here are on the lighter side, portion is not too big.
My Turkey lasagna was not too heavy with brightness from tomato sauce, pasta was super fresh.
My BFs carbonara was milky and not too heavy.
A little pricy but overall the service is fast and dishes here are authentic, would love to try the desserts my next visit~

If you read the reviews it is not breaking news that the owner is not friendly or appreciative of her customers. That's why I would never eat at the restaurant. However, I have been going there to buy olive oil (approx $25/bottle). The first time I bought it, I also added a couple of items. When she rang up my order it was much too high, so I asked her to check what she had rung up. She then saw she had charged the olive oil twice. Corrected, but no apology.
So next time I bought olive oil was last week. Paid with my AmEx and signed at the POS terminal. After completed, she said it was denied. Seemed strange to me because that never happens after signature? She asked me for another card, which I gave her. But immediately checked my AmEx when I left and saw it was pending. Yesterday, I went back to show her the charge had cleared and also presented my Mastercard receipt and asked for a credit. Again, no concern or apology. She asked me to send an email about the AmEx charge. Huh? I said no. She then tried to credit my Mastercard charge, but after a couple of minutes said that didn't work. So I said, OK, please just give me another olive oil. She then advised that the price had gone up since last Saturday. I told her, well apparently I bought two last Saturday, so please give it to me. She angrily handed me a bottle and I left. This is very poor customer service, at the very least. There was absolutely no concern for my experience or time.

I only get mortadella, prosciutto, and some cheeses from Cibo. Tried pizza some time ago but not to my taste, I like the good old Neapolitan pizza. meatballs were ok but $$$. Good market section where you can get Italian sauces pasta anchovies and some frozen meals. Service is great, with authentic Italian attitude :))

The lady at the front was pretty rude this evening. I instantly regretted giving her our business.
The portions were fairly small, taste was OK.
It really was the lady's unwelcoming face and body language that makes me want to never return.
Made me kind of sad too as I had an appointment with my oncologist today, I'm going through chemo, it's my daughter's 10th birthday and she loves Italian.
I thought this place would be cute and comforting but I was wrong. Shame because it had potential.

I tried this for the first time for lunch today and it was fantastic. I ordered the gnocchi with tomato sauce, perfectly cooked and honestly made my day. I will be trying more dishes soon!
