the appetizer was a fried dough with cheese inside. i had never heard of it before trying it here and it was so delicious. it was so filling that i was basically full before the rest of the food came. the entrees were forgettable in comparison. the restaurant has dim lighting, making for a nice and calm ambiance. service was quick and easy read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Portland. I finally went into the restaurant after hearing about it for so long and every single time I've been here, I've had the most exquisite food with ample portions and the most satiating flavors of Italian food and wine that you could get in Portland. It is comfort food at its finest with the best local ingredients and everything is off The chart delicious. I've had the pizza, I've had pasta, and I've had steak twice. Everything is delicious and I can't get enough of it. The decanting of the wine, the sides to the bread with olives and oil/vinegar. Every single thing I eat, seems to be at the highest level of ingredients with a lot of attention to detail put into everything. The vibe of the place with the uplifting atmosphere, the decor and the righteously amazing vibes of Chrissie the head bartender...makes me keep coming back for birthdays and special occasions. I actually don't eat out very much with fast food or takeout because I save my money for this place. I can spend $20 at Taco Bell or I could spend $20 here and usually go home very full with leftovers. The staff is always checking up on me and my guests. Everybody is really kind and engaging. Whenever I sit at the bar other people that are there we have a nice talk usually about the food and the restaurant. It just is a very inviting open comfortable and delicious comfort food kind of place. If you drink wine, ask Chrissie. I'm not a wine drinker yet Every time I go to Cibo I end up drinking wine! She knows. Her Moscow mules are divine! Chrissie can make the most delicious concoctions and she literally looks like she's creating something magical when she comes up with something new. Her cocktails are on point and she's always innovating her craft. Attention to detail for every single drink. The best recommendations for what they have that night. She informed me that they bake their bread fresh every day. Foods are sourced locally and every single dish makes me want more. I'm trying to get some variety in what I order yet. The steak does it for me every time. The pizza is the best I've had in town and sooooo good. I'm very picky about pizza as it's my favorite food yet this crust and the delicious cheese and greens and everything they put into their pizza is so tasty. If the Italians that I know in my community, make this a regular spot, then I also know it's good! It's authentic righteously on point delicious food every single time I go. All my people come with me to this restaurant for special occasions. Do yourself a favor and visit Cibo! If somebody's coming in from out of town... Take them to Cibo! To celebrate my children's accomplishments, I take them to Cibo! I already have two reservation reservations for the first week of January and I went there last night. It's this good! A lot of people post pictures of the food there and I've had every dish that I've seen online... But what means the most to me about this place is the whole experience of bringing My special people here to experience, uplifting vibes, delicious and exquisite food, the most incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that takes us out of our daily life and gives us such joy and pleasure to experience. I love seeing the look on their face when they take every bite. Seriously. Just eat here once and you'll know. read more

The food was amazing! I loved the wine!! And our server was great! I can't think of anything I didn't enjoy here!

Dropped in for an impromptu dinner. I was actually going to get food at a nearby food truck, but it was closed, so I walked by on a lovely evening and the outdoor tables looked enticing so I decided to try it. The menu is classic Italian fare, and I ordered a Caesar salad and the funghi e Salsiccia pizza, or mushrooms and fennel sausage pizza. Everything was really well done, and the ingredients were fresh, like the generous amount of mozzarella on the pizza. The pizza crust itself was thin but a bit soggy in the center. You can count on solid, good Italian food. I gave the total review a 5 star because of the great service. From the server to the busers, everyone were so friendly and helpful. They made me feel welcome even though I was a last-minute drop in. And sitting outside on an early summer evening when it's still light but not super hot is the perfect way to enjoy pizza. read more

Best of Portland!!! Chicken Pollo is above! All special events only there! Great service and ambiance.

Very pleasant dinner experience! I didn't eat a giant meal but we had a party of 9 and most of us had full entrees and pizza. I had a marionberry lemon drop that was equally sweet and tart yet tasty. For dinner I had a caesar salad with full romaine lettuce leaves. Shared some of the whole olive appetizer and that was it. We had a really great server who had a nice table side manner with the kids. Prices were decent. You have to park on the street, read more

Had a great booth in a corner. Waiter had a good sense of humor but was also a little brusque. My bolognese was good but not great, lacked a spark, whle the pasta was very good and plentiful. The wild mushroom ravioli was the best; the spinach ravioli was a little chewier. Bread costs extra? Josh the bartender makes a fine martini. read more

Cibo rulez. Staff and food are amazing. Esp Josh the bartender. Keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden you dig it.

Finally got the chance to try this place! I've heard such greats things. Employees were kind, food came out fast. Got the cibo pizza, side salad, mussels and a cocktail. Skip the mussels, they were over cooked, and chewy we both love mussels and will always get them if on a menu but after we both tried 2 it was really off tasting even the sauce wasn't great so we didn't eat them, so that was a disappointing waste of money. But the pizza was great, would like to try others. The cocktail was well balanced and no complaints about that side salad! read more

We came across this place for dumpling week. One thing I learned for future food weeks is that they are all price the same, but each restaurant can portion it any way they want. For example, Cibo probably had the most expensive dumplings for the entire event. 3 small dumplings for 12 dollars. The dumplings were okay, but it was hard to eat more than one because it just tasted like ricotta/parmesan balls. The pizza was good, but definitely not worth 25-30 dollars. It had a similar taste to a MOD pizza but prettier. Overall, the food was alright, but it was 3/5 stars because our waiter was very respectful and kind. read more

Ordered food off of ubereats. Arrived hot, and fresh because I'm not very far away but the paperdelle was so overcooked it was a pile of disgusting mush! They definitely skimped on the sauce, but it wouldn't have mattered because it lacked salt and flavor, which I could've doctored up myself, but the pasta was so mushy. It was an edible totally ruined. Any sense of appetite that I had I won't bother to order online let alone visit this business. Very disappointing. Really SUBPAR FOOD read more

Cibo has some of the most authentic Italian food I've had since Italy. The flavors are rich, many-layered, and tease the tongue with basils, oreganos, and hints of garlic and spices. The two times I've been in I tried very different dishes: the wild-mushroom ravioli and the pappardelle alla bolognese. Both exquisite. What they have in common is that they melt in your mouth. The flavors bloom as you chew, the splash of wine here, the hint of cream there. Long after your body is full, your mouth wants more. Both dishes reheat to be even better the next day! I've shared the beet salad; it is a good size for two if you're eating another dish and it's tasty (testament from a former beet hater). I've also tasted the pasta con vongole. Yummmmm!! The hours are little challenging for us, because we usually eat early before an event, so you are stuck outside in the sleet or snow unless you can get into their 4'x4' anteroom. Parking is abysmal all around there for many blocks. Once you get inside, it is quite large and yet homey. The waitstaff is lovely and fun. Definitely you should go! read more

Everything I've ordered from here is great! I don't know what they put in that Caesar dressing but it is godly - best dressing I've had

In Portland to visit my sister as I am from California. She took us here for dinner and I am so glad we came! It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night but we were sat pretty quick. Our server Morgan was absolutely amazing. So sweet and also had the best recommendations for what to get. Arancini: Fried saffron rice with mozzarella? Yes please! Cheese pizza: perfection. The crust was so good and crispy. Can't go wrong with a brick oven pizza. Spaghetti and meatballs: So good! Not sure if pasta is made in house but the spaghetti was so good. The sauce was delicious and the meatballs were also fantastic. Penne with Salmon: The rose sauce was amazing! The salmon was a bit salty but honestly it wasn't too bad since I completely devoured the whole bowl. Also, the bowls they serve the pasta in helps keep your pasta hot during the whole time. Appreciate that! My brother and sister got pasta dishes as well but I can't remember which ones they got. Overall a great dinner experience. Everyone there was super nice. Will definitely be back whenever we are in town! read more

SO DELICIOUS! Definitely a PDX must try! The pizza was absolutely divine, especially the Pizza Del Figo as it had a bit of fig jam... weird combo for sure but so yummy. I forgot the name of the pasta I ordered, but I found it even better than the pizza! Try both if you can! Service was great and waiter was super nice too. It is pretty dark inside and very cozy. If you plan to go, be prepared to wait or join the yelp waitlist. I went Saturday evening and waited an hour. 9.6/10 :) read more

Cibo is back!!!! This lovely restaurant used to be THE place for us prior to COVID. Once the entire world went through that trauma we were so excited to see our favorite spots open up. It took them a bit, however Cibo is as great if not BETTER!!!! how can this be you ask? Maybe it's the exceptionionally tastey al dente pasta, or the delicious mouth watering arancini, or the craving inducing puttanesca We are just so happy! read more

Wow! This restaurant smells incredible. And the food is so good. If you love Italian food or pizza try this place you won't be disappointed. Their pizzas are so delicious in my opinion the BEST pizza in Portland, they use quality ingredients. Their pastas are fresh and delicious. Their salads are equally good my fave is the radicchio salad! Service is great and I highly recommend reservations if you're planning to come on a Friday or Saturday especially if you have a larger party. read more

Wow what crap pies!!! Got our order wrong and sent two of the same nasty pies. Really good amount of meat on our vegetarian pie. You all suck and should really shut the doors. If it was not for screwing the DoorDash driver out of a tip, we would have canceled the credit card transaction. The best place for a Cibo pie....see photo. read more

Cibo - The only place for pizza from Cibo! - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This was my first visit, but got everything as a take out order. I liked that the restaurant communicated via text and email to let me know the order was received and when it was ready for pickup. The pick up experience was super easy because the restaurant has a 5 minute space directly in front. This area is very congested and having that parking spot is a game changer. There is also an exterior pickup window so there was no need to go inside. I ordered the Polenta Fries and if you do, make sure you get an extra sauce because for the amount of fries one container only lasted through half the order. The polenta fries were crispy and flavorful. The Quattro Formaggi pizza was delicious. The crust was the right combo of crispy and chewy and the pizza was well seasoned. This is a place I would eat at again. read more

Cibo - Quattro Formaggi with mushrooms and onions added - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Five stars all the way!! Get the Soppressata pie and the Quattro Formaggi pie. These two are some of the best pies in Portland. No joke. I've had a lot of pizza in this town, and this is really some of the best. I'm an east coast Italian, and while I wouldn't consider this place a fully Italian restaurant, it still has great vibes and delicious pizza. This spot is perfect for special occasions like birthdays, but it's also perfect for a date or just hanging out with friends. The decor is upscale, but also casual, and I'm a big fan of the balance. Cibo has been rock solid over the years, and since they started doing delivery on DoorDash, my love for them has only grown deeper. The delivery times are always super quick! I'm always surprised when I don't see this spot on the "top pizzas in Portland" list. So. Dang. Good. read more

Decided to go here on a random night and when I was looking for something still open to dine in at 9PM. I called them and they said they would still seat me at 930 even though they closed at 10. It was empty so I sat immediately. I ordered the mussels because I love mussels. These were pretty basic nothing to write home about, I think I prefer mussels in a white sauce than the tomato based sauce theirs was served in, not very flavorful. But I decided to get a cibo pizza to go so I have something in the fridge for the next day. Omg that pizza was soooooo good. It smelled delicious so I couldn't resist eating a piece soon as I got home and it taste delicious. Even reheated the next day it was still good and it was good cold too (if you're a lazy cold pizza eater like me, idk something about it). Now with that being said it was a pricey pizza , like $27 for a singular pizza which i can't justify spending, but maybe when I'm really craving it. I also had the polenta sticks but I didn't like those. Just not for me. The restaurant had a nice vibe too, dim lights and industrial design. You could also see the pizza oven. It was nice. read more

I've tried this place a few times. The first couple times didn't leave an impression so I tried again because everyone I know just raves about everything here. So after reflection: Great service (every single time, every single employee) and ambiance is nice. Good wine selection. When Sicilian wines are on menu that's a plus (better than mainland Italy). Not always available though but regardless wine options always nice selection. Had mixed cocktails a couple times. Not super impressed beyond the 'just stick with wine' that flashed in my head During repeat visits. Food- scallopine amazing! Leaks and capers, very, very rich sauce. Just say no to the brussel sprouts. - not crispy, not tasty. Tasted and felt boiled (texture too soft). Minimal seasoning, which I usually like because unlike some people I actually like the taste of brussel sprouts, but in this case seasoning would have given much needed flavor. Coccoli - delicious bread with prosciutto on top (easily removed for non-meat folks) Calzone/pizza - soggy. Good flavor, cheese was good texture with perfect level of salty tinge but soggy crust made every juicy and I couldn't get past that. Baccala- can this be a main dish and not an appetizer? Great grandmas recipe is still better but this was good. Ravioli good flavor but a little too al dente. I get structure is necessary and expected with a stuffed shell variety but maybe bake the ravioli so it's ok to be a little tougher. Beef cheek dish is always on menu and always not available. Guess that means it is good. Street parking is a pain but Portlanders know what to expect when dining in an old neighborhood. I know I'll go back because my friends and family are in love with this place. Maybe it'll grow on me. read more

Worth every penny! The pasta is always so yummy and we've never been disappointed coming here for dinner. We typically get the fried chicken (A MUST) for our appetizer, bolognese, and I got the pork pasta that I'm blanking on the name. But honestly this feels like a restaurant where you can't go wrong with any dish you order. The spaghetti and meatballs I got last time were delicious too. Ambiance is cozy and inviting and servers are nice and attentive! The first time we came, our server came over when we were done to see if we wanted any desserts, I said no but my husband hesitated a bit before saying no. The server was so kind and brought over a free olive oil cake on the house to go when he brought over our check. Talk about extraordinary service and we enjoyed it at home! read more

Had a great time. Staff is lovely. The only criticism I can muster up is that the meatballs should come with a spicy warning. I'll go back! read more

yucky yucky food I am such a snob about good food and service. I was rudely escorted to a dark seat at the bar at about 5:15 on a Tuesday in a fairly empty restaurant. The bartender acted grimly put upon when I asked advice about what to order. The pasta was greasy and tasted like leftovers. Seats remained empty when I left chugging Tums to get bad taste out of my mouth. Wished I had spent my 36$ at Dove ViVi . Can never remember the name of that delightful restaurant with amazing fresh food and gracious service. Do not waste time and money at Cibo. I asked a waitress why one diner was seated outside by himself. I was told by a staff member that his server had not followed the protocol. read more

Usually vegan cheese pizza can taste weird where the cheese is really gross. That is not this place. The pizza was cooked perfectly and it felt very authentic with how you cut the pizza with the scissors. The atmosphere was really cool here and the bar tender was friendly for how busy they were. The only down side is parking is very hard in this area so have to find a tight street parking spot. The food is worth the trouble though 100%. read more
