But you need to call, there are no online reservations. Even for early times (4:30pm) we needed reservations. The servers and hostess were very friendly. All the dinners come with unlimited salad and bread. We got the common choices, chicken Parmesan, eggplant Parmesan, grilled chicken linguine, and margarita. The servings were reasonable size and about what you would expect. They do offer the option to "Sicilianize" pasta dishes to make them more spicy and flavorful. We tried this on a couple dishes but it did not add much. Ok to test out but don't expect spicy.

It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

Probably one of my all-time favorite desserts. If we go on the weekend and neglected to make a reservation, we take a seat at the bar if the wait is too long for a table, and we get served right there. It changes things up a little but still a very enjoyable evening. The food is always delicious and service is friendly and par.

The ambiance is no longer there. It's unfortunate because I would go in there with large groups of friends for dinner and listen to music. I would not recommend this restaurant anymore.

The full menu has many creative options and also traditional italian dishes. I was tempted to skip the special menu to order from that. Our service was wonderful all throughout our meal. Very friendly and helpful waitress. The food was delicious with thoughtfully crafted sauces and flavors. I would have liked some actual lobster in the bisque, but it was quite flavorful nevertheless. The pork entree was butterflied and on the bone. Quite delicious and a generous portion size. Two grown men had to take half of it home as leftovers. The eggplant was reminiscent of a homemade family recipe and laden with gooey cheese. The gelato to finish the meal was rich and creamy. I wish the restaurant wasn't so loud inside but the patio seating would have been better to accomplish that, if the weather was nice. We will definitely need to come back to try out some of the other menu options. Definitely a great new find to our restaurant options in the east valley.

I highly recommend coming into this place. The vibe is super cool. The service is Amazing, and the menu has something for everyone! I was just very happy that I found a place that I could enjoy. Our waitress Tadem was super nice, professional, and helpful but answering all my questions. We are from out of town so I wish we had this in California.

Cibo remains one of downtown Phoenix's go-to spots--both a local favorite and a destination for…read morevisitors--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.
