Always and consistently amazing. I've turned my friends are on to them and they're obsessed

AGITA, MY GOOMBA, IN THE BANZONE! Obviously, Apollo Forte wasn't feasting at Cibo. Their savory red sauce is so smooth and unacidic that I went back for 2nds and 3rds late last night (AL v. LSU 4th Quarter jitters) but woke up as if I'd nursed on kale chips. ONE BITE AND THERE'S NO "SAVE IT FOR LATER" I stopped in on a Saturday at 3PM (the place was packed, slammed with catering and pick-up). I ordered the Combo sammie and TriBeCa to-go. The wait was over 20, so when I finally got to taste my hot gooey deli meat sandwich I uncontrollably downed It (so much for that take-out idea). WHY CIBO WAS BUSTLING WHEN OTHERS WEREN'T: 1. It's efficient, tip-jar counter-service. 2. That red sauce, the chicken parm, roasted peppers... 3. All made from scratch in their small open kitchen. 4. Lots of food for the money, every meal is under $13. 5. Outdoor seating and draft beer. 6. Their young, attractive enthusiastic staff. PRO-TIP: ask for extra red sauce! read more

Cibo - HOT COMBO PANINI (like a muff but with roasted red peppers and not olives) rich and clean flavors, with pasta salad: $11. You will be sated! - Delis Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Passed this place up so many times for some reason but could not be more glad I finally went in. Sandwiches are always fresh and so delicious, definitely one of my new go-to uptown lunch spots. Get the Milano. read more

Sandwiches are authentic and full of flavor. Side pasta salad also satisfyingly good. We love it

Served me the wrong food then promised to send out a actual delivery and never did. Waste of money and time.

First off, Liz is amazing, I am so grateful for her kindness. second, the food was fabulous. The ravioli was perfectly balanced and the salad was super fresh and the homemade dressing, prefect! thank you Cibo for being amazing read more

I cannot fathom how this place has 5 stars. The cost to food ratio is pretty absurd, and to add insult to injury--after paying a hefty sum for some frankly bland food (how can classics like spaghetti and chicken parm get messed up in an Italian restaurant? Where's the flavor?)--, it's not full sit-down service. Plus, the wait time leaves something to be desired. Overall, 2/10; will not come again. read more

Growing up in New York spoils you, then ruins you for the rest of the country. Stein's market is amazing, but he's from Philly. New York bagels, GREAT chicken parm, amazing beer, and great service are legit. I'm eating the caprese and its curing my hangover and blowing my mind with basily freshness. He's a good dude, and if you miss New York this will satisfy you... For a while. I try to get here for lunch as much as I can. They do dinner now too. Can't go wrong. read more

Cibo - Caprese! - Delis Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

If I were on death row, Cibo would be my last meal. Seriously guys, this place is that good. I want to preface my review by saying how ecstatic I am about finally having an authentic Italian deli in the Carrollton hood. Let's just break it down. Sandwiches: I recommend the chicken toscani - holy sh*t. First of all, the bread is always fresh and perfectly toasted. Also, its got arugula, pesto, roasted red peppers, ooey gooey provolone, and of course marinaded chicken.. good stuff. The imports combo is another must try. The lighter sandwich options are scrumptious, if you fancy a figure-friendly dish. The Sides: Tricolored rotini? Whole wheat balsamic penne (which, they're always out of bc its f*cking delicious)? How could you go wrong.. The Staff: (two guys and a babe, from what I've seen) are always friendly and accommodating. DTMAMS (down to make a mean sandwich), ya heard? The Atmosphere: It's like you're dining in the eternal city itself. Charming indoor seating with old school red and white checker table cloths that make you feel right at home. The outside patio is perfect for those who want a side of people watching with their panino. Anyway, I like this place. Italian food in New Orleans? Hey! That's amore. read more

Cibo - A taste of heaven aka chicken toscani. My favorite. - Delis Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Just ordered Uber Eats-got the chicken Parmesan dinner and garlic bread. Both items were delicious. I'm so glad I finally found a place that just offers simple, homemade food with high quality ingredients. You would think that wouldn't be hard to find in New Orleans but increasingly it is, especially when it comes to Italian food. I make a lot of homemade Italian food myself, but I don't always feel like it and have been ordering Italian takeout on different occasions for awhile now, and nothing ever satisfies my craving, but CIBO did. Will be eating there again in the future. read more

Do it for yourself, you'll be glad you did. This deli definitely puts the good foot forward in things. I accidentally walked into Mona's (which is next door) because CIBO sits a little farther off the street from its neighbors. I scoured the menu beforehand and had my mind set on trying the chicken fagioli but after getting there and seeing one of the daily specials, i had to get both; I couldn't decide on one over the other. The special was the tribeca of a delicious cut of breaded pork under red sauce and cheese, meatballs and pasta with a delightfully fresh side salad. In fact, the side salad was an unexpected, refreshing addition to the whole thing. Good ingredients used in every dish. While that tribeca was fulfiling, and worthy of respect, i didn't abandon my initial plan of trying the chicken fagioli which i used as a second meal for later since its a cold sandwich with a pasta salad. The sandwich was pretty okay, i think i would get it again, but not after trying some of their others first. Everything was fantastic and i actually can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered a caprese sandwich and a bagel with lox online. Upon arrival was told it would be an extra 15 minutes, okay no biggie. Order came out completely wrong and missing items that cost extra. Everything is wrapped in paper classic deli style, no way of knowing if the order was wrong before getting home. Bagel w/ lox came with no capers (extra $1.50 for nothing), no red onion on a raisin bagel. Caprese Sandwich (vegetarian) was in fact a pesto chicken something or other. Iced coffee was great. The folks running the show here were earnest and hard working, perhaps just not trained thoroughly enough and not stocked adequately. Place used to be awesome, idk what happened. Won't be risking it again. Beware of online orders where you pay and tip in advance. read more

Delicious and reasonably priced. Wish I tried it earlier!! Will be getting again! I got the Italian sandwich and the grilled chicken parm.

When we arrived for a noon-ish lunch, there was only one customer already there and only one staff member, who greeted us and told us to let him know when we were ready to order. When we told him we were ready to order, we had to stand there waiting for another 5 minutes to actually place the counter order. I ordered a turkey milano sandwich ($11.50). For the cost, I was expecting a good sized sandwich with a decent amount of turkey slices. What eventually came to the table was a small sliced toasted sandwich, that I could have made at home in less than half the time and with more meat. There was literally one slice of turkey deli meat folded in half. To be fair, it did taste good, but wish I had a bit more meat to actually call it a Turkey sandwich; it could have been called an arugula sandwich that happened to have a slice of turkey in it. Not much ambiance inside either: low ceilings, mix of cloth tablecloths and vinyl checked tablecloths. I did not get the sense that the cloth tablecloths were changed after each customer left. read more

First time going reason why close proximity to where we were at the time. We searched for a place to eat Cibo pops up with five stars. Let's give it a try. We arrive to a small empty quaint place. We order two Italian import combos. The bread was not toasted not condiments and two thinly sliced salami and one extra thinly sliced piece of prosciutto. The amount of meat between the two sandwiches would not be enough for one half of a sandwich. Try another Italian eatery. I will not return. read more

Nice Italian Deli, a quick walk, from my parents'. Friendly service. Not lightning fast, but everything is freshly made. I would ask for a little extra sauce, on the side, for the meatball sandwich, but I like lots of sauce. It was really good how it was and not overly messy. The meatballs and bread were both delicious, and there was lots of cheese. My mom's chicken sandwich was also really good. The little side pasta salad is a nice touch. They have assorted bottled drinks, in a refrigerated case, with some different options. They also have coffees and other options. I noticed cannoli shells, to be stuffed. I love cannoli, so next time. They have outdoor seating and they even brought some water out, for our dog. read more

Best meatball parm sandwich in the city. Seriously, get the meatball sandwich!! You will not regret it! Garlic bread is also a favorite of mine. Don't forget to add blue cheese crumbles to your salad-- sooo good! read more

Simple Italian American fare that surely hits the spot. Try the salads...fresh and tasty. The vibe is chill (counter service and red checkered tablecloths) and the staff is kind and attentive. Worth a try to taste a New Yorker's take on this cuisine. read more

One word... Phenomenal!!! You haven't tried this place you HAVE TO!! Great sandwich, great chick parm, great meatballs and sauce! Top it all off with an espresso & Canoli. read more

I ordered late at night (delivery) spaghetti and meatballs and also ordered the cannoli for dessert. The spaghetti was good, but the cannoli was awesome! I was surprised they kept up well, seemed very freshly made and it was a nice dessert! read more

We love these bagels. I recommend the fig cream cheese and get enough for the whole family. The owner is extremely passionate and involved and the small number of staff are all very friendly and efficient! read more

This review is based on the sandwich I got for take-out and my god was it delicious. I played it safe for my first visit and got the chicken parm sub. It reminded me so much of home (New York) and the delicious subs I get at the Italian restaurants near my house. Cibo has it down to a science. The subs are gigantic and although a bit expensive, it is totally worth the $12 for a filling meal. I have been told to try their other sandwiches and surprisingly, their bagels. I will definitely return to try some more options. As I write this, my girlfriend is getting a sandwich for herself right now - jealous! read more

Best bagels I've had in New Orleans! Better than Humble or Stein's or Laurel St. (I'm a native New Yorker so I set the bar high) SO HAPPY I finally tried one at Cibo! Their Chicken Modena is also very good. Service is friendly and efficient. read more

Great little spot for a quick bite. No fuss, just tasty food, friendly service, and good vibes. The Caprese sandwich is my go to! read more

Cibo - Caprese Sandwich - Delis Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Everything I've had here so far has been nothing short of amazing, my favorite item is definitely the bagel with Lox loaded with cream cheese and red onions. Labor Day weekend I stopped here before driving out to Destin to grab some sandwiches for myself, husband, and father in law. After traveling 5 hours with the sandwiches, I figured by the time I got in they'd be hungry since it would have been dinner time, I was right, I gave them their sandwiches, and my father in law who's originally from jersey said it was by far one of the best sandwiches he has had in a long time especially being from Louisiana. read more

Love to swing by for a delicious sandwich! Perfect walking distance from my house. I love the pasta salad that comes with the sandwiches too :) read more

This is a little jewel of a restaurant owned by super nice people. The Italian dishes are yummy and they do a FANTASTIC job with bagels too.

CIBO recently changed ownership. The opening owner sold to an employee, I believe. Happily the passing of the baton has been successful. CIBO has always produced delectable Italian dishes. and sandwiches, made with quality ingredients. That continues to be the case, imho. My personal faves are the meatball parmesean, and "The Tribeca" (meatball, spaghetti, and chicken parm) read more

What a great find and treat for 1/4 to 1/2 the price of higher star Italian restaurants!! I was being overly ambitious when I ordered the "TRIBECA" which is a sample of chicken Parmesan, a large meatball and spaghetti with house red sauce w/ salad. Im glad I did!! The atmosphere is deli style, Bob Dylan's "Knocking on Heavens Door" is playing in the background and I can hear the chef/cook singing along (and now whistling to another song lol) The petite brunette has great customer service skills. She smiles, looked directly at me and checked on me quite a few times. Great attitudes and team work is evident here, making for a pleasant experience... and omgosh I am SO full. Generally, I do not over eat, but this meal was an exception! read more

I had the chicken parmesan here, and thought the flavor was great. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The prices, however, are outrageous. I was really disappointed in how small the plate was for the price, though I did note that the plate had two thinly sliced pieces of breast instead of one large piece of breast, which I actually like. read more

My boyfriend and I went here last night to check it out. It's very cute and charming on the outside and inside. The first thing we noticed were all the delectable Italian cookies! You know we bought some before we left. We bought the assortment and ate most of them immediately. When we were trying to decide what we were going to eat, we ended up choosing the same item - lasagna with a meatball. I was so impressed that I asked the pleasant gentleman who was cooking if the pasta was homemade! It was just that tasty. The tomato sauce was also amazing. Both the male and female employee were very friendly and knowledgeable. They informed us that all the items are flown in from either Italy or New York. When explaining the origins of items, the male employee exclaimed "this is from Italy, that's from Italy (pointing at items), and she's from Italy!" He was smiling and cordial our entire visit. Altogether, wonderful food and an amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future. read more

Cibo - Lasagna and meatball - Delis Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a new addition to the Carrollton corridor of restaurants on the River side of So. Claiborne Ave. And I must submit a very welcomed addition. The place is clean and has seating inside and some nice seating outside for the mild Fall weather we have been experiencing. The owner is on the premises and overseeing the operation. He is friendly and is dedicated to doing it right. He is from New York and he is bringing to us some tastes that are different. And that is not always a bad idea even for a New Orleans boy. Opened all week from 11:00am to 7:00pm except Sunday when the place closes at 4:00pm. And it is dark on Mondays. Cibo which I believe is Italian for Food holds itself out as "Italian-American Cuisine From The Northeast." And so the adventure commences and the first trip out to check them out was very nice. Everything appears to be fresh. Observed the preparation of their meatballs. They are on my list for a return visit. There is a Deli and you can select your meat and cheese to do it yourself. Olives are fantastic. The Tri Colored Rotini is very flavorful and not just coated in some oil. Had a little to try it out and wanted more. BTW you can bring your favorite wine with a small corkage fee that I find reasonable. Three dollars per person and I can't wait to sashay over there one lazy afternoon with a bottle of my wine and enjoy a great meal on the Avenue en plein air. The selection I made was very good. The Hot Combo Panini was close to perfection. It is being promoted as Cibo's version of our Muffaletta. They got my attention and I had to check this northern version of one of our favorite sandwiches. The Panini consist of Mortadella, Capocolla, Ham, Mixed Pepper Salad, Roasted Red Peppers, Melted Provolone Cheese, inside Pressed Italian Bread. Served warmed of course and the peppers add a very nice spicy flavor that was scrumptious and savory. Very good food, friendly service and an owner that has a high desire to please makes this a Four Star. Will be going back to see if the rest of the menu rises to the level of the few items already tried and enjoyed. read more

Mind blowing sammiches. Great beer selection and a friendly owner and atmosphere. Nice patio out front and will soon be expanding menu for dinner. I had the "Broadway" sandwich for lunch yesterday - everything was fresh and the portion size was huge. I haven't written a review in a long time but these guys deserve the attention. read more

I try and give a restaurant a star rating based on its chosen "class" of restaurant. Its unfair to have a smallish deli-style restaurant competing with an international steakhouse. That's where this five-star review sources from. Cibo is a small inexpensiveness place run by a New Yorker named Darren (who ALWAYS has a Yankees cap on...) For the truly Italian folks and especially those raised in the Northeast, the food will hit very close to home. From a very deep and rich red sauce to his house cured Italian meats, the food is just fabulous! I have become somewhat attached to his Chicken Parmesan but I cannot resist ordering a SECOND dish to take home for leftovers when I pass through. 9Cibo is on Carrolton and I live much closer to downtown so when I get to Cibo, I have to bring some of that amazing food home with me. Sitting in there and watching the crowd shuffle in and out is amazing - everyone knows Darren and it seems like every person that arrives is a regular. It is that kind of place. I should mention this is a truly deli style place like you would find in Manhattan. A few tables, lots of great food to order to go and the Cannoli. Good lord try the Cannoli! In a town that has deep roots in the Italian realm, Cibo brings an excellent version of the Northeast Italian Deli to the heart of the Carrolton neighborhood. I ate there last night and had the Chicken Parm. I also took a Brooklyn sub home that will be my lunch today. read more

Such a cute place! Went tonight with my husband after spotting it a few days ago. I got the imported combo sandwich, which the owner said is the most popular cold sandwich - and for good reason! It was absolutely delicious. It was definitely a large portion as I took half home. It came with a small side of cold pasta salad (there were 2 pasta options) which was okay, but I'm typically not a cold pasta salad fan. The restaurant itself is adorable with about 7 tables. I forgot to ask if it was BYOB since I did see a bunch of wine glasses behind the register. The two workers were so nice -- once was owner/chef we think. We were the only ones there around 6pm, but I hope it picks up once they do more advertising. Will definitely be back!! read more

Delicious! Reminds me a bit of old Cafe Nino, but less like eating in an itialin mother's cozy basement and more like like a trendy cafe. The outdoor seating is nice too. I'll definitely be coming back. Pro-tip: check out the specials, and ask the employee. They know what's up. read more

The portions are a bit small but the flavors are good. They only have bottled drinks and I would be much happier if they offered fresh brewed iced tea. They have a decent selection of sandwiches along with a few pasta entrees. They also have a small deli with a selection of meats, cheeses, olives and other items. You order at the counter then your order is brought to your table and since there are no drinks to refill you really don't get any service beyond that. Overall a decent place to grab a sandwich or some pasta for a quick casual lunch. read more

The redesign on this place is well done for the small size. The food is even better. These are New York boys that wanted to bring the real thing to New Orleans, and they are really into what they do. I've been here a few times now and the food is great: phenomenal sandwiches on great, real, New York imported bread, a spectacular arugula salad as fresh as an be, and entrees like the Tribecca (meatball, chicken Parmesan and spaghetti in one sampler.) the cannolis are filled to order and the real deal - even better than Braccato's - really! The prices are very modest and the food is all great! Go! They do takeout too! read more

There's a reason this place gets rave reviews. I'm hooked. The first thing I noticed upon entering was the high energy atmosphere. These guys wanted to make me some food! It was my first time in so I didn't have a clue what to order. When I told him it was my first time he pointed me to the specials going on. "The Broadway," he said. "It's our most popular sandwich." "I'll take it." I replied. It was fantastic. I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. read more
