I'll be honest--I went in with low expectations. Based on some recent experiences at restaurants that are supposedly "the best in town" for a date night, I was prepared for something mediocre at best. Instead, I was genuinely surprised--in the best way. The food was delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients. Every bite felt intentional and well-executed, not rushed or overhyped. And the service? Top notch. Attentive, welcoming, and exactly what you hope for when you're out for a nice evening. It's refreshing to find a place that actually lives up to (and exceeds) expectations--especially when you weren't expecting it to. Looking forward to my next meal there. read more

Still delicious! We love the green butter and the Alfredo is delicious. I appreciate that this restaurant is downtown and walking distance from the conference center. The servers have always been kind and the ambiance is excellent. We tried desserts this time and the crème brûlée was good. The cannoli was not as crispy as I would like, but I'm pretty particular about my cannoli. The ice cream was good as well! read more

Happy Valentine's Day to us!!! We had 6:30 reservations and once we found street parking and started walking we received a text the table was ready at 6:20! Yes!! I was ready to eat! The dining area has soft lighting. The menu is good by only being one side for food options. Service was good. They were pretty busy and trying to keep everything flowing for reservations. Maybe the train the check was just dropped at the table while we were eating dessert - no questions asked. We started with the wagyu meatballs-DELICIOUS!!! We opted for the basic marinara over the spicy tomato sauce. It went perfectly with the bread served for the table with pesto butter!! MMMMMmmmmm!!!! Since the only homemade pasta is the Manicotti, I chose that. Hubby chose the Pollo Parmegiana with rigatoni instead of spaghetti. BOTH dishes were fantastic! The sauce is great! We ordered the tiramisu for dessert. Very good as well! I can't wait to return (tonight's specials sounded amazing but I really wanted homemade pasta) read more

Had dinner here a few times now, reservations are recommended. Great Italian food is had here, its worth the effort and your time. An open, high ceiling, modern interior with a bar area up front by the entrance. We had reservations for a party of six at 7pm and the place was packed when we all arrived. We were greeted upon entry. Our table was waiting for us. Our group tried a variety of dishes along with a couple nice bottles of wine, and desserts and it was all very good to excellent. My Frutti di Mare al Cognac was excellent lobster with scallops with mushroom risotto, a full flavored dish, hearty and delicious. As well, the Gnocchi Arrosto Anatra the roasted duck with gnocchi is an excellent choice, a hearty, full flavored dish. The Calamari appetizer is an excellent choice as well, lightly fried golden with a maranara sauce and lemon. A decent wine and libations offering too. All in all a solid choice for dinner, reservations most nights highly recommended. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the kind staff 01146 read more

This was my first time here and it was incredible. The staff was so attentive, checked in on us frequently, and made sure we were taken care of. We had wine and a dirty martini. I think we finished all of the butter that came with the bread with the table- it was so good we took more home with us. I'm picky about my martinis, but this was one of the best ones in this city I've had. For apps, the baked clams were great- not too fishy and had great flavor. The entrees were also great and would definitely order them again. The meatballs were huge and probably could have been an entree themselves. The ambiance was beautiful with slightly dim lights and felt very romantic. They also have free parking at the back of the restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

Cibo Trattoria - Fish special - Italian Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Giving it four stars for the service and atmosphere. This Italian restaurant is right in the heart of downtown Winston and the service is exceptional. I got the chicken Alfredo and a tiramisu for dessert. I am nitpicking but the dish looked a bit sloppily plated (see how the sauce is sloshed outside the plate)? But it could have just accidentally spilled over in transit. No complaints about the taste- I'm not blown away but it was good Italian food. Tiramisu was delicious. Overall I would consider coming here again just for the vibe. read more

I normally consider Cibo to be the second best Italian place downtown after di Lisio's (I haven't been to Tuscani yet). But today's experience left a lot to be desired. The cocktail (tequila mockingbird) and appetizers (calamari and the brussels sprouts) were good but the veal piccata looked really sad (see picture). The risotto was undercooked and the veal overcooked. My wife's zucchini involtini was too salty and the waiter mixed up the bill (she did correct it quickly though). By themselves each would be excusable but all at once gets two stars. read more

I've only sat at the bar here on a busy Saturday night, but service was good and the food as well!! Will definitely go back and try some more things, and maybe the restaurant vibe, although I do love a nice bar! Don't love the downtown parking situation - but not the restaurants fault. read more

My go to place for celebrating birthdays. The food is always good. One favorite is the gnocchi. It is not on the menu,but on the specials board. Be sure to try it! They have a large selection of wines by the glass and a complimentary birthday dessert for that special person. Festive,upbeat restaurant with free parking behind the building. Just take a picture of your license plate and show it to the hostess. Now go celebrate someone! read more

I had my birthday dinner here recently and it was great. I made the reservation for 10 people but it ended up being 15 and they were very accommodating. We arrived around 7pm and we seated along the long booth with 3-4 tables pushed together. We had a couple servers who were very friendly and attentive. We started with a round of drinks and then placed our entree orders - there was a little bit of everything on the table0 beer, wine, cocktails, pastas, chicken parm etc. I started with a prosecco and then tried a specialty cocktail, the lucky luciano (Knob creek, grand marnier, muddled mint, lemon juice, bitters, orange twist.) For my entree, I went with chicken fettuccine alfredo. And I ended with the spicy snowman dessert drink. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals and drinks as well. All in all, I'm glad I chose this spot to celebrate and I would definitely come back! read more

I have heard of this place but have never been until recently. I read other reviews and they mostly all seemed positive, so I wanted to check it out for myself. My kids were happy with the choices offered and my wife was able to find something that was GF. I ordered the shrimp pasta, which was delicious. It had a slightly different pasta sauce than my kids's red sauce, but I thought both sauces were very good. Though it was a busy Friday night, we were served quickly and our order was correct. Italian isn't one of my favorite cuisines, but if we are craving that, this will be a great spot for a delicious meal. read more

This was my first visit to the newer location. There are lots of parking options and the location is great if you want to spend the evening downtown. The inside is modern and open. They offer a variety of table sizes and even a private room. Our server was great. We enjoyed our meal. They brought out a basket of bread with pesto butter. They had two types of bread and both were tasty. My husband and I split the tomato and Buratta appetizer. I really enjoyed it and would order it again . The seafood pasta was excellent. All of the seafood was cooked well and the sauce was very tasty. My husband loved his lobster ravioli and was happy to see that still on the menu. I also enjoyed a strawberry Bellini, which was perfect for a warm Friday evening. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and plan to come back in future. read more

Coco Trattatoria was good but it wasn't spectacular. I had high hopes based on reviews. The server was good. The food was good but just good. Our party had an appetizer and 4 different entrees. So we tried a lot. The zucchini frittes was okay. We could find any zucchini. All we ate was batter. Not worth the cost. The Caesar salad was bland. Pasta needed salt and pepper desperately. The seafood in my pasta was probably the best thing I ate. The restaurant was very nice in doors. They accommodated my friend in a wheelchair. I will like go back to try some other items. read more

Service is extremely attentive. Ambiance is lovely, clean and quiet. The food is where it really shines though--the meatball appetizer was legitimately the best meatball I've ever had in my life. The gnocchi with vodka sauce and duck was to DIE for delicious. Everything was well seasoned! The food was cooked to the correct doneness and everything was PIPING hot when it came out. I will be 100% back. read more

I went to cibo trattoria for an early Valentine's Day date with my boyfriend. The ambiance was so beautiful with high lighting, spacious tables and warm decor filled with wood. We started off with drinks the ginger gold rush and La Fresca both were so refreshing! I had the duck gnocci which was an interesting twist! I do wish the gnocci had more bounce and the sauce was more flavorful but overall a tasty but simple dish. The steak no complaints just wish it came with other veggies. Classic dishes with a nice atmosphere perfect for family dinners, celebrations, or a simple date night! read more

Haven't been to Cibo for several years, since they were on Trade. I was pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed it. We started by having drinks in the bar and the bartender was great. I wish I could say the price of the drinks were (really my only complaint) but we had 3 Manhattans between 2 of us. At $15 + $2 for premium it was $54. IMO a little much for Winston-Salem. I will say the menu was great and the food didn't disappoint. We had the clams for an appetizer and split a seafood pasta. The waiter was excellent. Unlike the bar cost, the wine is VERY reasonable. They have a $30 corking fee but from the selection and prices I wouldn't think of bringing my own bottle. Overall, we'll definitely be back read more

I visited on Saturday, March 28th with a new group of friends--this was my first time dining here, and unfortunately, it left a very bad impression. While the food itself was good, the overall experience quickly went downhill. The table we were seated at was uncomfortably tight, and the service was mediocre at best--certainly nothing memorable or worth praising. What is completely unacceptable, however, is what happened after we left. My bill was $41.73, which I paid by card, and I left a cash tip at the table. The next day, I noticed my card had been charged $51.73. The waitress had gone back and added a $10.00 tip without my knowledge or consent. That is extremely dishonest and unprofessional. I had to go through the hassle of disputing the charge to get my money back, which should have never been necessary in the first place. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the integrity of the staff. Because of this experience, I will absolutely not be returning. I don't recall the waitress's name, but I do remember what she looks like--and management should seriously address this issue before it happens to someone else. read more

Our first time visiting Cibo Trattoria. I had the Seafood Linguine and it was very tasty! The sauce was incredible. There is plenty of seating, but they also take reservations.

All around a gem in Winston! Excellent service food and wine pairings. Ambience is first rate. Our 2nd visit. Looking towards our 3rd.

Been wanting to try this for so long. Finally had a chance during date night. Food was great. We had the pollo alla prosciutto and chicken parm. Absolutely delicious! We were very full but I had to try some dessert. Couldn't resist trying the chocolate cake. Sooo good! It was huge and loved every bite we could take. Our server Joann was excellent. She was very helpful and moving thru the restaurant with a purpose. Prices were what we thought were very reasonable for what you're getting. Will definitely be back. read more

Ever since our trip to Italy we have been missing the food and wine. So we made a reservation at Cibo Trattoria. Beautiful restaurant with plenty of room for large groups. We started with a red wine, Michele Chiarlo "II Principe" Nebbiolo Piedmont. For an appetizer we had the Zucchine De Involtini appetizer. Service was very friendly and quick. We shared the Cheese Tortellini with Shrimp, Italian sausage, pepper, spicy tomato cream sauce which came with a bread basket with herb butter. Of course my husband had to top off the meal with an espresso. Atmosphere, wine and food were perfect. Our taste for Italy had been satisfied. If you park in lot behind restaurant, they can validate parking. read more

We made reservations at Cibo and loved the new location! The space is huge and can accommodate so many more customers than the previous location. Unfortunately, the food here continues to fall a little flat for me. We usually enjoy the meatballs but this particular night they were really spicy. I ordered chicken parmesan and with every bite, I was wishing I had more marinara sauce to slurp up with the dry noodles. So much of the pasta had no sauce at all. My sister ordered the cheese ravioli they had on special and it was delicious. I loved the alfredo sauce, it was fresh and tasted homemade. Duck isn't really my thing but my husband ordered the duck gnocchi and enjoyed it. My dad had the lasagna also on special. The complementary bread is tasty especially when you slather on some of that herb butter. I think for Winston, this is a good spot for Italian food and I really like that they take reservations. read more

Kendall took great care of us and was quick to replace a dish that was a mistake and rectified it so fast we were so pleased with her quick timing. The food itself was delicious, a beautiful amount and flavor and texture was a wonderful al dente. I am excited to try their other flavors - they even have seasonal items to try. read more

New location! New update .....it's been along time since I went to Cibo, they are now located on liberty st, in a brand new outfitted location which is nice and spacious, great decor, but not stuffy, just nice enough with a great bar as you enter, booths, tables and a private room that holds 40. I have changed my rating to a 5 purely because this time we had a fantastic experience from the minute we got there til we left, everything was just top notch. Food especially! Our server Daniel was awesome, making sure we were happy and just really pleasant. Also love it when you ask to try a wine, Daniel bought all 3 of us a sample. We got a nice booth in the back close to the kitchen. You can't really see the kitchen as you can in many restaurants these days , but you can hear it and tell it's there. We got a bottle of wine, the Montepulciano was perfect with food, nice and dry. We started with the Brussels sprouts , now I've had these at many places, these were exceptional, flash fried, there was bacon, I think or pancetta, onions, balsamic, and little dusting of Parmesan. A great app with amazing flavor. Completely flavorful. Then we shared the eggplant Parmesan, very different sauce from most places, this was a creamier red sauce, thin cuts of breaded eggplant, again fantastic and very comfort foodesque. If that's a word! Every bit of that was gone with their bread basket, which was also really good. Italian bread and focaccia. Comes out nice and warm. With butter and pesto butter. We tried one of the many specials they had, the butternut squash gnocchi, in a creamy tomato sauce, but a little different from the one in the eggplant. Wow, complete winner of the night. With sliced mushrooms in the sauce, this was my favorite dish and a hearty plate of housemade gnocchi. Everything about this dish was just amazing. The creamy sauce, the texture of the gnocchi, loved the mushrooms, and a huge plate, that 3 of us shared and struggled to finish. Definitely try this if it's a special. Celebrating our birthdays they have two of us free desserts. Which was super nice. The obvious choice was the housemade tiramisu, and yes you should always try this in an Italian restaurant. This was just perfect, nicely soaked sponge but not overly alcoholy tasting, nice and creamy with choc chips, this was the perfect end to a stellar dinnner. I love how it stayed together too, a lot of tiramisu I've had I are too creamy and fall apart, this held up. The other dessert we picked also because they make it in house is the strawberry rum cake. You can't really taste the rum, but nicely soaked, with a nice strawberry sauce, nice creamy frosting, it was a nice rich cake, This time at Cibo, I was completely surprised how good everything was. All the servers and hosts were so nice, which in my opinion is a huge reflection on how they are trained. My hats off to the chefs, I couldn't fault one thing and cannot wait to come back ! Loved the new location too! read more

I wish I could have done 4.5 stars on this one. It was a good experience. Food was very good. In fact, I liked it so much that I was eating before I could take a picture. The wagyu meatballs are really good. The sauce is spicy and flavorful with tons of garlic (which I love). If the meatballs are more moist It would have been perfect. The zucchini fritte was above average. Very thin and crispy enough. Picante sauce was spot on. The pollo alla prosciutto was average. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The sauce was flavorful. The spinach felt like it was from a frozen package and felt like it had not absorbed any of the flavor. The service was very good. It was a little busy and noisy for a Thursday evening but I guess that's an indication of the quality of their food. read more

Love this place! I've been here a couple times and will continue to visit. The bar staff is very friendly and outgoing. I'm always met with a smile and amazing service. The food is amazing! I've had a few things off of the menu, this time I started with the Brussel sprouts con prosciutto and was very happy with it. If you're like me and like your Brussel sprouts almost burnt, ask them to over cook them or leave them in the oven for a couple more minutes though. For my main course I had the pollo al Francese. I'll start with the good. The flavor of the wine sauce was delicious, the potatoes and spinach were amazing complements to the chicken. The chicken however was not what I expected. It is served breaded and plated in a pool of the sauce so it essentially felt like soggy fried chicken when I ate it. I told the bar tender it wasn't what I expected and she immediately asked if she could do anything to help. I asked her for a grilled chicken breast to swap with the breaded chicken and had it ready for me in less than 5 minutes. That made the dish perfect in my opinion and I took what I could t eat home with me. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty good. From the bar, the volume from the rest of the restaurant is pretty loud but once you get into conversation with another person or focus on your meal you start to not notice it. read more

We had family in town and were all in the mood for Italian Simone suggested we try Cibo and we are all glad we did! I started with an aperol spritz and opted for the puttanesca. The rest of my party varied from pomegranate margs and beers to ginger ale. As far as the food we had chicken parm, manicotti, and a sea bass dinner special that almost made me regret my own choice. The food and drinks were all good and we all agreed that we would go back again. As it was all enjoyable. But the real star of the show was Joann she was the sweetest server and made sure we had all we needed and really knew her menu. She was personable, kinda and efficient!
