    Hugo spritz and bloody Maria
    Parker B.

    Such a great addition to U City! We sat out on the patio, which was really nice, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Our service was great from beginning to end. We started with a Hugo Spritz and a Bloody Maria, then ordered the meatballs, which were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. They came out very quickly too. We also got the pepperoni pizza, which comes with ricotta, hot honey, and banana peppers, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm a huge fan of wood fired pizza, but sometimes the crust can be a little too floppy. This one was cooked perfectly. The bottom had just the right amount of crispiness, and I really liked that the pizza sauce was slightly on the sweeter side. Can't wait to come back!

    Pizza at breakfast, sans egg
    Maggie H.

    Short experience, but no complaints! I went during brunch hours one Saturday morning on an estate sale day. They were considerate enough to make me a cheese pizza without the egg (I don't like breakfast pizza). Quick service at the counter. Price was quite good and I don't say that much these days. I ate at the bar. I'd like to return to try more of the menu at a time of day that appeals to me more.

    The Italiano
    Christopher S.

    First time in and it was for lunch. Started with some pastries, which were all delicious. Had cannolis and a hazelnut croissant all very reasonable priced. Since it was my first time and I started with one of my favorite things and Italian sandwich and there's was pretty darn good. I would have maybe added some banana peppers a little acid or giardiniera which they have both so next time I may ask for them to add but even without it was quite tasty high-quality ingredients. Will definitely be back to try the dinner menu as well as the breakfast. A welcomed addition to university city.

    Tomato/melon salad with the crudo
    Erika L.

    Such a great restaurant and new addition to Delmar and the U City area! I went for the first time and loved it. We had an incredible waiter who was attentive but quick and never left us waiting for too long for anything (eg the next plate, the bill... ). They have indoor and outdoor seating -both of which are equally cozy. Parking is in their own space. Ordered a few appetizers including their ricotta (so good), hummus and prosciutto. Also got their special melon/tomato salad as well as the crudo and then got a pasta- all plates were shared between my friend and I. We finished with the tiramisu which was so good!

    New York strip, fried eggs, potatoes

    Amazing!! Not just because it's a 13 min walk from my house (a huge plus), but it's the necessary spot we needed in UCITY! Perfect location and very convenient to get here, and park (if driving). I love the look of the restaurant in the inside? It's surprisingly larger that it looks from the outside! I was immediately greeted!! Everyone is so nice...super pleasant which makes it so much easier...so much so, I decided to eat in, instead of taking it with me! And then the food...MY GOODNESS! I got the steak and eggs and potatoes! It was so good!! The steak had some kind of pesto drizzle! This food is just plain tasty!!! I also got a Latte...they didn't have almond milk but had oat milk (which is definitely fine with me)! I'm definitely coming back and fear I may be a regular!!

    I came here en route to a different restaurant but since it just opened, I figured I'd give it a shot. I came pretty early and surprisingly, there was a decent amount of people. I walked in and was greeted rather quickly. While there were still a couple tables towards the middle of the restaurant, for whatever reason the host sat me all the way in the back. Literally the last table before you enter the kitchen. I found that rather odd but didn't say anything. I was given water in a plastic cup and then she came back over to take my order. The steak looked good so I went with that, although I did have my eye on the pizettes. After a brief wait, my food was brought out. Everything seemed ok at first but I noticed this man (I'm unsure of his position; could have been the manager), came by and wiped dust from my table onto his hands and kept going. Not a good look. For one, this could have been done prior to me being seated and 2, I'm literally eating! At that point, you should have let the dust be. Truth be told, I hadn't really noticed the debris UNTIL he did what he did. The dish itself was pretty good although the piece of meat I got was fattier than I'd like. It was seasoned pretty well but if I come back, I'll ask for it to be cooked medium rare. I asked for it to be medium but it seemed more medium well. The eggs were pretty good, but the potatoes were meh. When I was ready to check out, she came by with her machine and I swiped my card. I noticed that the tip automatically defaults to 25%! That's a bit outlandish if you ask me, especially considering there wasn't much she did. Overall, it was a decent visit. I'm going to come back when they finish construction as to not have anyone else wipe dust off my table while I'm eating. Additionally, double-check the tip amount BEFORE you confirm!

    Came here on a Saturday for a late lunch and thankfully it was not too busy. Unfortunately service was not good... we had to wait a while for someone to greet us and then when we sat, they never came to our table. I had to eventually go up and ask if we could order. The food itself is delicious. We enjoyed our pizzas greatly. The pepperoni New York style one is incredible! Especially for the price, only $7 for a huge slice. The coffee is fine, but i wouldn't say the $7 price tag for an iced latte makes me want to get it again. The place itself is also gorgeous! Their patio area is perfectly shaded. As long as you're willing to endure the mediocre service, I recommend checking them out! Now I just wish they had pizza by the slice for dinner too...

    Caprese Sandwich
    Tess A.

    What a great addition to the neighborhood! We visited Cibo for lunch and it was fantastic. We were seated promptly and ordered a black coffee and a caramel latte. The latte was delicious! For food, we ordered the caprese sandwich, a chicken sandwich, and a cheese pizza slice to share. Everything was wonderful. Their red sauce is delicious. The portions are very generous. The pizza is some of the best pizza we have had in STL; I would rank it in the top 5. Service was friendly and the inside is nicely decorated with big chandeliers and plants. I can't wait for the patio to open.

    Hot latte
    Michele P.

    New spot in the neighborhood! Lots of seating. Parking was a bit tough so we parked around the block. The salad was super fresh. Sandwiches are huge. The bread was delicious. Square pizza piece is also huge. Quick service even with everyone being new. Cannot wait to come back and try some more items!

    Super cute restaurant, the design and lighting is on point. Small lot for parking. Dined for lunch, will come again for dinner. This visit was shortly after the new restaurant opening; when I visited sodas were in cans, not sure if they have a fountain soda machine behind the scenes; Diet Coke drinkers you are warned. My sister who's an avid coke drinker prefers fountain soda.

    We truly enjoyed our meal, the service and the entire experience. Vincent, our server, was attentive, knowledgeable and made sure to snag the last Tiramisu for me! Yum!

    I have been meaning to check Cibo out. I was so curious when they started the renovation for this building and I didn't expect it to be a new restaurant. I love the decorations and the design of Cibo. There are outdoor areas as well perfect for a good weather day. They are currently serving breakfast lunch and dinner. For the lunch menu, i was so torn between the sandwich and the pizza but i settled for 2 different slices of pizza. One is a simple cheese pizza and the other is the Sicilian pizza. They are quite the opposites bc one is thin and the other was so thick and loaded. For the price, I would say the slices are freaking massive. We were all in shock when they brought out the food. I also couldn't get over how beautiful this cheese pizza looked. Now the Sicilian pizza definitely blew my mind. The crust was probably the best that I have ever had. It was thick but soft and airy as pillow. Normally I'm more of New York style pizza but this one conquered me for real. I spent about $15 for this meal and it was so worth it! Highly recommend this place. PS: extra points for the nice service and the big parking lot

    Such a cool new place in University City. Michael Del Pietro has done it again! Food presentation is fabulous and yes, delicious. Aesthetically beautifully done. Inside and outside dining. Do yourself a favor and try Cibo.

He was patient with us and his wine suggestion was spot on. Great sense of humor and he worked all the patio tables. The food choices were amazing and exceeded expectations. Pricing was comparable with what we expected. The lobster bisque was thick, hot and very filling. There was ample pieces of lobster as well. My wife shared that her pasta was not hard or dry or rubbery but tasted freshly made. Connor shared that the prep starts every morning with homemade pasta. The traditional toasted ravioli were just that, toasted and tasty and the CG shrimp seemed so much more than an appetizer. Meals could be had with just those. I was very satisfied it ordered lasagna anyway. I just had them pack it to go as I was comfortably full. I know there are a lot of choices on the Hill but I assure you this one stands out.

    The Best Dining Experience We've Had in St. Louis - Hands Down…read moreMy husband and I wanted to give our dear friends who are leaving St. Louis one last unforgettable meal from their bucket list, so I immediately recommended Peno. I used to be a regular at Rosé with the same talented Chef Pepe, and his food is truly to die for. We walked in on a beautiful day and were lucky to snag a spot in their small parking lot (parking in the area isn't the easiest, but it's worth it). Our server, Harry, made the evening even better right from the start. He had such a warm, calm, professional presence--the kind that's rare these days. We instantly remembered his name thanks to a fun Harry Potter / Harry and the Hendersons reference, and he handled everything with effortless skill. When our friends had parking trouble, Harry quickly offered helpful suggestions. Then, when it was time to order, he elevated our meal in the best way possible. My husband and I got our longtime favorite--the Roberto pizza from Rosé days--and Harry suggested adding sausage and peppers. That small tweak took something we already loved and made it 1000% better. Absolute perfection. Our friend ordered the spaghetti (her all-time favorite comfort meal), and after taking Harry's thoughtful recommendation, she declared it the best spaghetti she's ever had in her life. We finished with the cheesecake. I'm extremely picky about cheesecake, but this one did not disappoint--it was creamy, rich, and flawless. This was one of those legendary meals you remember forever. The kind where you leave thinking you could die happy. Chef Pepe's food, paired with Harry's outstanding service, made it a perfect night. If you're in St. Louis, do yourself a favor and go to Peno. You won't regret it. Thank you, Harry and team--you helped create a truly special send-off for our friends!
