Cibo Italiano

This took over the old "Neighborhood Grill", which had delicious food and I was sad to see go... BUT Cibo does not disappoint! The portions are a normal size.. don't expect "bucco di beppo" family style portions with lots of leftovers when you order an entree.. and the food is fresh and flavorful. I loved the eggplant bruschetta and the pasta carbonara! If you can handle dessert, I was very happy we chose to get bread pudding !!!

I went for Fat Tuesday to have a cannoli or two ... very good! ... staff was excellent and fun with dry humor ...

Yum!!! A friend and I enjoyed our lunch today - the Carbonara was fabulous & both salads were delicious! Beets & pears, and the Kale salad - so fresh! And the homemade bread . . . Mmm - we will be back to try out all the amazing-looking desserts and cookies.

So I really wanted to love this place. Very few Italian restaurant in our area, fewer Japanese/Chinese Restaurants, (if you know of one respond to this post) and fewer restaurants of diversity. Love not being in the city, I just miss having a choice where to dine without driving 30 minutes. So Cibo, I tried the soups and they don't taste much different from a Grocery store soup in the Deli aisle. The cookies are not homemade, if they are, they need to hire a new baker, because it was made with tons of lard as opposed to butter and it didn't taste fresh. I did enjoy the take-away salads. The Farrow Vegetable and the Apple and Beet salad were pretty tasty. Next week I will try food off the hot menu items. I really would love for this place to succeed. Fingers crossed. :o)
