    Great lunch prices
    Deb R.

    Great lunch spot. Friendly service and delicious food. The price is right too. It's cozy inside but there is also great patio dining if the weather is nice. Our waitress was very attentive and had good menu knowledge.

    Has an amazing dinner here with a friend! We made reservations but instead opted to sit at the bar once we arrived. We had great service, yummy food, and delicious seasonal drinks! We both got the Sgroppino (frozen prosecco) to drink, one in strawberry and one in peach, and they were perfect for a hot summer evening. I had the Tartufata pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Tons of fresh mushrooms and finished with a truffle oil that had so much flavor. Will absolutely be back to try more of their pizzas when I'm back in this area of Phoenix.

    Being a native Arizonian- I've been raised on the warmth and yumminess of Cibo! I had the pleasure of visiting AZ again with some out of state friends who absolutely loved what they got- as I always do! The staff is welcoming and the overall vibe is classy yet casual enough you can come at any time and enjoy the many phenomenal options! I highly recommend the Margherita Pizza, Arancini, Burrata, Gnocchi etc etc! If you're looking for the perfect cozy & filling italian food in AZ, look no further!

    Burrata
    Brooke K.

    We came here on a whim hoping to get in & luckily we were seated right away on a Saturday after 7pm. Probably lucky it was the summer time! We started with the green beans and burrata - both were great but the green beans were phenomenal with the dipping sauce. Now to the best part - Cacio de Pepe pizza. Highly recommend. May even be better in this form than pasta form. We also got a red pie but we both were obsessed with the Cacio de Pepe. Server was very friendly and on top of it. Love the quaint setting.

    Cibo remains one of downtown Phoenix's go-to spots--both a local favorite and a destination for visitors--and it's easy to see why. The setting does a lot of the work: a large, charming garden with plenty of outdoor seating that gives the whole place a cozy, almost village feel. Inside, there's a small bar that's tough to get into, but it's really your only option if you're walking in without a reservation and don't want to wait an hour or more. The kitchen is usually the highlight. With an Italian chef behind it, everything leans fresh and well executed--pizzas consistently shine, and the salads are just as strong. This time, though, the bolognese was a miss. The pasta was clearly overcooked, which stood out given how reliable the food typically is--felt more like an off night than the norm. The wine-by-the-glass list is solid and approachable, and the many awards feel well deserved overall. A diverse staff adds to the cosmopolitan yet relaxed atmosphere. Even with the misstep, Cibo holds its place as one of the better all-around dining experiences downtown.

    Bolognese pasta
    Jasmine D.

    I was there for dinner with a group of 8, it was the first Friday. Getting seated took a little while and we had made our reservations ahead of time. Pizza was good and I got myself bolognese pasta, I had put in a few customizations and it was accounted for. Dessert was fire. If I'm around the grand ave I'd go back again

    Where to begin! The food, service, the drinks, the vibes. All 10/10! We had the market salad, Hugo spritz and limoncello spritz, wine, polpettine pizza, and truffle gnocchi. Cibo is such a great Italian spot. If you want consistently great food and wonderful ambiance, come here!

    Went from 5 to 3 Stars; only because past experiences were so good! Went in for lunch the other day and the service was AWFUL! There were kids at the drink station filling up cups. We were seated and immediately after sitting down I literally couldn't hear anything anyone was saying at my table. Most the customers were crammed into the front right room and it was impossible to hear anyone at my table with loud women surrounding us enjoying lunch (which is fine) but break up the crowd a little.. I immediately stood up and asked to be moved so we could atleast hear each other. The young teen who Sat us was very helpful and moved us to a different table in the back right. When I tried to order the appetizer, I said "Yes, (looking at the waitress) we'd like to split a Caprese ( glances at my daughter to confirm in a questioning voice hesitating at the end) The waitresses said, "ok, I'll come back in a few when you figure it out" obviously not willing to wait a few seconds for a confirmation. We just sat there going Wow?!? That was wild, we also had our pizza orders ready but ended up waiting till she wandered back our way. The entire time we felt like we were keeping her from her kids? Grandkids? We definitely put her out, drinks were not offered beyond the first, I had to ask for a second one. The pizzas came, but not mine. I was informed it was wrong and they had to remake it. After my pizza finally came I realized it was still rather doughy and undercooked. We moved on as my daughters were done eating thier pizza and one of them grabbed boxes and we boxed them and waited to order crepes. We finally got our crepes and mine didn't look gf and was missing the allergy flag. We waited a few and I finally got up and went to the front room, the 2 teen girls (servers? They were serving) were messing around in the front room and almost ran into me when I FINALLY went up front to say My food had been messed up after it was dropped, no one checked back. They kept messing around and then stopped and looked at me asking if I needed help. I said YES please. She went into the side room to the front left and the waitress got up from the table where she was sitting with the other kids (that were at the drink fountain when we'd walked in.) She asked what she could help me with... I told her my gf pizza was not cooked all the way; I'd thrown it into a box (that we'd actually went to get) and I'll reheat it properly later and eat it, but the crepe I was concerned as there was not an allergy flag and it looked JUST like my daughters texture wise. I'm familiar with the crepes and I REALLY didn't think it was gf. She said she would not do anything about the pizza since I didn't mention it prior but the crepe was indeed gluten free. A little stunned I again said I would take the pizza home and reheat, I didn't ask for anything in regards to the pizza as they reheat well... and I would not eat the crepe, I truly didn't think it was gf! She said they'd remake it. I replied no thank you. (I'd already sat once while my party ate, for the gf pizza to be remade... I wasn't doing that again. With an attitude she told me she'd remove it from the bill! One bite was cut out and STILL on the fork, it should but have been an issue. I love Cibo and the food is amazing and it's worth the drive to come from Surprise for a treat, but that was a bit much...I'll be back, but I'll definitely ask for a different server!

    Rigatoni al forno
    Kimberly G.

    Cibo was so amazing! The best pizza and pasta I have ever had. I'll be thinking about our meal for a while. It was so good. We had a reservation for 7pm on a Thursday night. We arrived a few minutes before then and were seated right away. Our server was super friendly and the service was quick. We ordered the Rigatoni al Forno (baked sausage rigatoni), the pesto orecchiette with pine nuts and potatoes, and the Tartufata pizza (prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, and mushrooms). Everything was so good. We were starving and ate everything. Definitely good sizes to share. The patio is so cute. I wish we would have eaten out there, but we weren't sure how hot it was going to be. Plenty of street parking around. I would imagine it could get difficult to find parking depending on the time of the day. We will absolutely be back if we are ever in Phoenix.

    Great service and an amazing find in downtown Phoenix! The pizzas are fantastic--perfectly cooked with fresh, flavorful toppings--and the pastas are just as impressive. Everything we tried was delicious, and the quality really stands out. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're in the area! This little gem is Perfect for a date night as well.

    My favorite place for pizza in Phoenix. The mushroom truffle w/ pepperoni added is my go-to. Their gluten-free pizza is SO good and is Neapolitan style with a puffy crust and everything. As someone with celiac, I've never had an issue. Always get a charcuterie too. GF bread for that is now an up-charge. Haven't been in years, so this was news to me but it was fine. Still my favorite pizza spot in the area. Especially outside on the patio!

    Mel E.

    Cute spot with outdoor seating. Service was excellent thanks to Kimberly (amazing hostess), Carson (incredible server) and all who played a part in my experience. I had the calamari which was one of the best I've ever had. I had a side salad and the dinotte pizza. Soooooo yummy! Please be sure to get a side of Parmesan cheese and the spicy oil to drizzle and sprinkle over the pizza. Sooooooo good. I'm craving it now, but I'm back in Miami so I'll have to wait until my next visit.

    Gnocchetti ai formaggi
    Yasmin T.

    The best Italian in downtown by far. I've been coming here for years. Reservations encouraged! Feels so homey inside and has a charming patio. The food is impeccable. I had never tried the pasta here and boy was I missing out! The gnocchi we got the time was soooo good! I just love this place you cannot go wrong. Di Notte is a must!

After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here. After our great experience, we will definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes!

My two favorite dishes that never miss are the Lasagna and the Chicken Parm. Like clockwork, it has always been impeccable. Sadly my most recent experience will likely be my last experience. I ordered the Chicken Parm and when it came out there was something missing from my plate. Instead of the usual Rigatoni Pasta with Vodka Sauce there were a couple of stale chunks of potatoes and some sorry looking asparagus spears. I asked the bartender where is the pasta. She responded that it no longer comes with pasta and that I could order some at an additional charge. It was at that moment that I knew I would never return again. Never in my entire life have I ever ordered Chicken Parm at an Italian Restaurant and not have it come with pasta. That is like ordering a hamburger and it doesn't come with a bun. Then they tell you that you are more than welcome to order a bun at an additional cost. It was like the ultimate slap in the face. I understand that businesses are under financial pressure in these tough times. I can assure you though that this restaurant does not suffer from this fate. There is simply zero excuse for this type of behavior from ownership. Their meals are already priced near the top of the market here in Scottsdale, and rightfully so as their food is top tier. But to raise prices and then remove a staple item off of the menu is asinine. Again, I really do not like writing negative reviews for businesses because I am a fellow business owner as well. However the consumer in me cannot stand for this type of treachery. I am sick and tired of paying more and getting less. This is not meant to deter others from experiencing this place. It is meant to let management that loyal customers are dissatisfied with their business practices. Finally, I am not a cheapskate either. I always tip at least 30% which is way above the average. I am not tone-deaf, I sympathize with restaurant staff and wage gaps so every little bit helps in the service industry.
