The Best Italian Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"It’s impossible to talk about Italian food in Phoenix without mentioning Cibo. The charm is built in — exposed brick, creaky hardwood floors — but it’s the food that makes it a staple. The menu sticks to comforting classics: crisp, cheese-filled arancini, slow-simmered meatballs in rich tomato sauce, and a standout burrata draped in black-label prosciutto. Salads bring some balance, whether it’s the farro salad packed with seasonal vegetables or the pear salad tossed with pecorino and toasted almonds. Pasta service starts at 5 p.m., and it’s worth the wait. Pappardelle bolognese is slow-cooked and deeply flavorful, gnocchi lands in a creamy fontina sauce, and baked gemelli with sausage and ricotta comes bubbling from the wood-fired oven. While Cibo is best known for its Neapolitan pizzas, the pastas, antipasti, and homey Italian staples make it just as much a destination for a proper sit-down meal." - McConnell Quinn

Best Pizza Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Housed in a century-old bungalow downtown, Guido Saccone’s pizzeria is a cozy haven from the bustle of the city. In good weather, the bricked patio, lush with trees, plants, and flowers, is the best place to be. Saccone learned the pizzaiolo’s art at his brother’s restaurant in Caserta — which is the same province (Campania) as Naples — so his pizza has the soft center and puffy, blistered rim of classic Neapolitan pizza. Pizza choices are varied and interesting. Cases in point: the Genova (topped with basil pesto, mozzarella, onions, roasted potatoes, and grated Parmigiana) and the Procida (topped with mozzarella, prosciutto, Asian pears, arugula, and goat cheese." - McConnell Quinn

Best Romantic Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona for Date Night | Eater Phoenix

"A downtown Phoenix staple, Cibo sits in a 1913 bungalow that blends European charm with effortless romance. The patio is its star, complete with twinkling bistro lights and live music in the evening. The menu focuses on Italian classics, things like wood-fired pizzas, pappardelle Bolognese, and gnocchetti in a fontina cream sauce with smoked prosciutto. A refreshing pear salad is tossed with pecorino, honey, and almonds, while desserts like the crepe, stuffed with ice cream and topped with fresh fruit, make for a sweet ending. Cibo is affordable, unpretentious, and consistently busy — reservations are recommended." - McConnell Quinn

Phoenix’s Best Restaurant and Bar Patios for Outdoor Dining | Eater Phoenix

"Tucked away in a vintage cottage downtown, Cibo looks small from the outside, but this charming Italian restaurant, whose specialty is wood-fired pizza, offers two patios, allowing customers to sit under the trees and gaze at the stars while grazing on antipasti such as balsamic-glazed burrata served with silky slips of prosciutto and bread. The menu offers loads of pretty salads as well as pasta, sandwiches, and classic pizzas such as the margherita, diavola, and capricciosa. Don’t leave without trying one of the excellent desserts, maybe the Nutella and strawberry crepe or the cappuccino truffle." - McConnell Quinn

Wonderful time at CIBO. We did make reservations for 6 of us and we’re celebrating a birthday. We sat outside. Although it was summer, it was in the evening and they had misters on so it was cool. The food was pretty good. We got a mix of pizzas and pastas to try. The Nutella crepe was great for dessert. I’d definitely come back for the pizza.

I recently got to experience Cibo for the first time after my brother and mom had been going for years. They were not lying about the quality of food. This is the only restaurant I've been to where sitting outside is exciting. The patio is cooled with misters, trees, canopies, and umbrellas. It makes sitting outdoors enjoyable, and the lights make the space magical at night. We enjoyed live music as well, which was especially nice. The staff here is attentive and friendly, so I'm glad that my brother, Michael, has the opportunity to work alongside them. This is the perfect spot for a nice date downtown!

Good pizza. Joe was friendly as we got wine while waiting on a table…. Weird remark from our server apologizing for Joe though when he was definitely the most hospitable person we interacted with there. Calmari was good, not chewy and nice little bit of heat in the sauce was perfect.

Very beautiful place. Very authentic Italian food. It was delicious food 8/10. I got calimari but it was too oily for me. If I would go again I would get pizza. My bf got pizza with sausage in it and that was 1000/10 the cheese pull was amazing!!

This place, hands down has the beat pizza in the city! The service is always great , the waiter are always attentive, helpful, and professional. The pizza is reasonably priced. I can't wait to go back and I recommend this place e to everyone which they end up love it also. The only negative is when this place is busy there is nowhere to park. Only street meter/paid parking available.

It's in a repurposed old house. The wait was a little long. The charcuterie board wasn't cohesive, nothing bad, nothing great. We had two different pastas, they were fine. Our waiter was fine, slow but fine. It was all fine.

My bf took me here a while ago on one of our first few dates. I loved it! We were sat outside and initially I remember thinking it'd be too hot but the vibes were impeccable. There was live music and it was just a cute date night spot. The food was amazing, it comes out hot and the service was also great.

Let me start off with a shout out to Jesus for some the best service in a long time. Funny, knowledgeable and great at his job. There's nothing bad I can say about this place. The pizza is immaculate, the pasta is delicious, the limoncello was the best ever. It's so cute and cozy inside and out. Everyone was friendly, it's so nice yet really laid back. Every single part of my and my family's meal, including the dessert I forgot to photograph, was fantastic. Cibo deserves 10/10 and that's what I'm scoring it! Can't wait to go back and try some other pizzas. The best crust I've EVER HAD.

Absolutely love this charming & delicious spot! I've been a couple times and the food is always amazing. The service is also reliable! It can get busy so reservations may be nice to have, although they do save space for walk ins--there's also limited bar seating where you can order food as well. The patio is full of string lights & charm adding whimsy to the overall dining experience. Price: reasonable Food: delicious Italian featuring wood fired pizza Drinks: beer & wine only Service: reliable Ambiance: cozy, charming, homey Good for: date night, special occasions, patio dining

Came here on a date with my boo thang and sat on the patio on a nice temperate afternoon. Service was kind, quick and attentive! We ordered the Noce to split with some prosciutto on top. The pizza was filling with nice huge globs of ricotta, toasty walnuts, and a piling of arugula Food, service, and atmosphere are great, would definitely recommend for date night or family dinner!

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Absolute superior experience at Cibo! The staff welcome you in and check on you proactively throughout the meal. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection. Rich, cheesy, savory - delicious! Pizza came out super quick and tasted great. Perfect thin handmade crust and loads of toppings!

Cibo is a great spot for a cozy dinner, whether you're on a date or catching up with friends. The atmosphere is dark and romantic, with a warm, welcoming feel that makes you want to settle in and enjoy your meal. I tried the Bolognese, and while it wasn't bad, it could've used a little more flavor to really stand out. The gnocchi on the other hand, was absolutely delicious--soft, pillowy, and tossed in a sauce that made me want another plate. The pizzas were the highlight. The Margherita pizza was simple and fresh, with just the right mix of mozzarella, tomato, and basil. The crust was light and crispy, with that perfect wood-fired char. The Latina pizza was even better, topped with prosciutto, fresh arugula, and Parmesan. The salty prosciutto and peppery arugula were a great combo, and again, the crust was spot on. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, Cibo offers a great mix of good food, a relaxed vibe, and fantastic pizza. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back.

Came here for dinner last night with friends. Have wanted to come for a while. Great service and the staff had several recommendations themselves. Food was very good. We all shared the pappardelle and 2 wood fired pizzas. Wine was very good too. We split a small tiramisu and an Italian cheesecake, both of which were very nice and not overly sweet. Definitely a nice authentic style restaurant if you're looking for something in downtown PHX area.

It was a beautiful night to sit on their gorgeous patio. The service was wonderful and the food was pretty good as well. My kids loved the margarita pizza and ate it all. We split half sausage and half pepperoni for ours. The flavor was delicious, but I just wish the crust was a little less floppy. Nonetheless, it was still a delicious meal and I would definitely come back for the ambience, flavorful pizza, and delicious wine. Great location if you want to eat there prior to going to a concert or sports event.

I went here for my best friend's birthday since we were craving Italian food and this was pretty good! They have a menu for specials every month I think and I think that's cool! The server was so nice and when she found out we were celebrating a birthday.. she got us a free dessert on the house :) We walked in and we did have to wait at least 15-30min for a table of 3 on a Friday evening, so definitely try to book a reservation ahead of time. The kitchen was backed up so we also for another basket of free bread for the longer wait.

Cibo is a 5-star experience! The outdoor ambiance is absolutely beautiful--great for my family dinner, but it would also be an incredible date night spot. The service was out of this world, and the food exceeded all of our expectations. I had a margarita pizza and a beautiful salad, while my father enjoyed a gorgeous board of olives and cold vegetables, perfect for the warm summer night. Having been to Italy multiple times, I can confidently say Cibo hit the mark. My spritz was perfectly crafted, and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order here. Just make sure to get a reservation! Thank you for taking care of us on one of our last nights in Phoenix. We can't wait to return!

If you have to choose a single Italian or Pizza restaurant for good food and quality service then this is the place. Overall I would recommend Cibo. Plenty of options on the menu and they have daily specials as well. This place is a hidden gem of the Italian restaurants in the valley. Everything tastes good overall, when you try a bunch of items here, there will be a few of you who will feel they have excellent quality here. Quick order and food gets served fast at your table with no long wait, the server asked if our table of 7 wanted the appetizers first, followed by each and everyone's entrees. We all decided to just have the kitchen bring them out ASAP when ready. We ordered a bunch of pizzas, charcuterie board, and few pasta dishes, Arancini, three of us decided on ordering a bottle of Chianti. Customer service shows how appreciative they are for your presence and how hard they try to keep you satisfied customers. Nice interiors, there is an outdoor seating area which no customers were in the mood for hot summer outdoor dining. But there was plenty of seating, and space for a group of us 7. Romantic atmosphere if you're on a date, but an overall well-decorated restaurant. Everything was clean and tidy overall in the restaurant, surprisingly none of us needed to use the restrooms. I'd say price point was excellent and not overpriced for sure. Worth going for a good Italian night out for pizza dine-in experience. Located just a few minutes away from Downtown Phoenix in a cozy neighborhood nearby.

Wow, what an amazing restaurant! The ambience is cozy and romantic with good service. From the arancinis appetizer to the yummy shareable salad to the inventive and delicious pizza to the absolutely scrumptious dessert. For me, this was the best thin crust pizza I've ever had! I definitely can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

Wonderful! My bf and I came a few weeks ago when we moved into the neighborhood. We had an appetizer board and a tatufata pizza that was amazing. It was a race for the leftovers. We have been so busy I didn't realize I didn't review. Buuuut, tonight we went again for a double date with some friends and we all had a lovely time. My aperol spritz was made well and we had the rice ball appetizer, which was fantastic. I had the gnocchi and the creamy cheesy sauce with the truffle flavor was amazing. My boo had the calzone and said it was fantastic--the sauce was very flavorful and fresh. My Italian friend had a pizza and said it was fantastic and his wife had a different pasta which was good but honestly we both thought the gnocchi I ordered was the better dish--it was just so rich and savory and delicious. Our waitress was attentive and very nice--she checked on us many times, just very good service. I didn't catch her name but she was clearly experienced and very capable. The kitchen must have been on it too because the food definitely came out in a reasonable time--I would say downright speedy for the quality.. I've only been twice but so far everything I have tried was tasty and I'm happy we live nearby.

It took me way too long to visit Cibo, but it was definitely worth the wait! The food was fantastic--from the pastas to the pizza, everything was delicious.

Delicious and authentic Italian. The Pizza really did take us all the way back to Italy. The Burrata was only missing the Buffalo Mozzarella to make it just as we had it in Florence. However this version was light, fresh and delicious. We loved all of our food. The pizzas were light & the crust was crunchy. Only wish they had pasta dishes before 5pm. We will be back for dinner. The house Chianti was spectacular. Let talk service. Can we just say that our server JORDAN was the best! She has the perfect attitude, gave us great recommendations. Was attentive and most of all her smile was genuine. We would be back just for the service alone. However the decor in the building gives authentic Italian vibes. Must be romantic at night. Need a Date night to impress? This is the place. Parking is limited but still walkable. Enjoy and thank me later.

Bella Nolte! We dined outside under the spring alfresco sky with live music. Our server was kind and knowledgeable. We ordered the Meatball Saltimbucca and the Amitrice with the guancele. The breads and toppings were delicious, so was the salad dressed with pine nuts that came with our sandwich. Bravissimo!

Couldn't decide what we wanted for dinner on date so drove around for a bit then it hit my wife. The overwhelming taste explosion of the gnocchi at cibo. Arrived to be able to sit at the bar no wait just the two of us and we are glad we returned. Met some new peeps that are getting their feet wet(or dried out) being new to AZ at the bar and talked and shared food and it was a delicious encounter. The bartender recommended for me a new item not on the menu almost like a folded pizza/calzone/sandwich. Had mozzarella arugula olive oil tomates and prosciutto inside fresh baked pizza crust. Man was it flavorful and quite refreshing for a warmer item, my wife was so glad she remembered to come and get the gnocchi and also had a delicious glass of moscato. Coupled with the new people we enjoyed wonderful conversation with it was just an amazing night.

I would eat here everyday if I could!! Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. My waitress was so kind and gave me great recommendations. I sat out on the patio and was comfortable with the amount of shade they have. It's such a cozy restaurant and the bright flavors of the food made it even better. You can tell that all of their ingredients are very fresh!! I've never had calamari be so light and airy. The sandwich was perfectly layered and balanced.

A Holiday Letdown at Cibo: A Fading Star in the Dining Scene Once upon a time, Cibo stood as a beacon of class and culinary delight--a personal favorite, known for its charm and impeccable offerings. This holiday season, however, my visit revealed a troubling descent into mediocrity. Here's my candid recap of an experience that left me both bewildered and disheartened. A Frosty Welcome Walking into Cibo, I expected warmth and hospitality. Instead, I was met with a perplexing reception. Despite the abundance of empty tables and two idle hosts, my arrival was met with a mechanical "20-minute wait" directive, followed by no attempt to accommodate or welcome me. Undeterred, I decided to sidestep the queue and head to the bar--a decision that, astonishingly, stirred more bureaucracy. The bartender brusquely informed me I couldn't eat at the bar without first removing my name from the list. A simple task, yes, but his demeanor lacked the finesse that a hospitality professional should embody. It was an early red flag, but I pressed on. The Bread that Broke My Heart Bread at Cibo was once a hallmark--a prelude to the meal that set the tone for greatness. This time, it was a crushing disappointment. What arrived was lackluster, inconsistent, and barely palatable--a 2.5-star effort at best. When I inquired, the bartender assured me nothing had changed, but my taste buds begged to differ. Pizza, but Make It a Miss On to the main event: the Quattro Formaggi and Funghi Pizza, paired with a Caprese Salad. The salad, unremarkable, did little to distract from the disaster that followed. The pizzas arrived looking promising but delivered anything but. The dough lacked its former magic, and the mushrooms, shockingly raw, offered a disconcerting crunch that should never accompany pizza. It hit me--the flour. Surely, something had changed? When I asked the bartender, he confirmed my suspicions. Yet when I suggested passing my feedback along, his response was astonishingly dismissive: "Have you owned a successful pizza place?" he quipped, dripping with condescension. A sharp turn from customer service to customer silencing. Final Thoughts Cibo's fall from grace is as bitter as the crust of their now-subpar pizza. The charm, the class, the care--all replaced by indifference and mediocrity. For a place that once felt like a cornerstone of quality, it's heartbreaking to say this, but Cibo is now off my list. For those who value their time, palate, and experience, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Cibo, it's time to reflect--because what was once great has sadly turned forgettable.

Artisanal Italian in a historic downtown bungalow Cibo is a cute casual Italian restaurant in a restored 1913 bungalow in downtown Phoenix. Enjoy a nice lunch on the tree filled patio right along 5th Avenue. It's a nice relaxing spot that lets you feel like you've escaped the desert. Inside also has plenty of seating and a bar throughout the bungalow. Saltimbocca is their delicious wood-fired bread that's used for the sandwiches and pizza crust. The bread is made fresh at every order, and it is what makes Cibo so good! Fun fact, i googled what Saltimbocca means..."it jumps in mouth." This makes so much sense because when I first bit into my sandwich, I did a little happy dance. For starters, we had the calamari, which comes with lemon and a red pepper aioli. We shared the Di Notte pizza and the Alla Parmigiana Caldi (hot saltimbocca sandwich) as we overheard the waitress recommend it. Like I said, as soon as I bit into the sandwich, I was excited. Although it looks thick and crusty, the bread is tasty and so soft. It melted into the tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fried eggplant. Admittedly, red sauce and mozzarella are not my favorite flavors, but this was the exception. It truly was mouthwatering. The pizza was just as tasty with that wood-fired bread, four cheeses, and spicy salami. I like to try different places and not repeat them, but this is one place I can't wait to return to!

This was such a gem that I found while out on business in Arizona! Love that some of the deserts are imported fresh. This pizza was absolutely delicious. Good service from the bartender who is extremely knowledgeable about the menu and the start of the restaurant. Very artsy ambiance with a hint of relation. You could go for a quick bite to eat, enjoy the scenery or event hold a celebration.

Meatball : 3.5/5. It was a decent size meatball approximately 2 inches in diameter, but a little tough in my opinion. If they added a little more bread crumb it would be perfectly tender. However, I wasn't a big fan of the sauce. Good but not great. It was more of the sour/tartness side which didn't complement the meatball too well. Di Notte: 5/5- this pizza is for cheese lovers and it does have a strong pungent flavor with mild salami on top. Some of their white pizzas has arugula, but think it would be a good addition to balance the flavor as well. Capricciosa-5/5- this was our favorite pizza as it's more of a meat lover style (prosciutto, mushroom, artichoke, and olives). And the dough was also delicious... that's if you like doughy bread. Pappardelle Bolognese- 4/5 the pasta was a great texture and good to perfection, but the sauce and ground beef... could've been better, and similar to our meatball dish. Our server (Jamey) was great and friendly. Ambiance: nice date place sitting outside if it's not hot, but they do have misters. Manger/Owner, Mike though- this fool is A DICK AND RUDE! ! We waited 30 minutes for our table and was called by the hostess who offered us inside or outside. We first decided to sit inside since it was cooler, but once seated, the table next to us was loud so we went back to the host to see if we can change to be outside. (Like 5 minutes), but was advised that we need to wait another 20-30 minutes which seemed odd and questioned the wait time. Then MIKE cut into the middle of OUR conversation, and started yelling, WE ARE BUSY CANT YOU SEE! Etc... I proceeded to explain, you don't need to yell sir, i'm just questioning why we have to be put back on the waitlist, additional was already walking back to our table . He seriously needs to leave his negative energy at home regardless if he's the owner. You can also see how his energy affected his workers attitude when surveying a few staffs that helped us. Overall 4/5 for a good restaurant and service. Just avoid Mike.

Gluten free pizza is one of the best I have ever had! Chewy, crispy and airy!! Parking was a little hard for us being from out of town. You actually can barely tell that it is the restaurant from the street. The atmosphere was quaint and unique. Restrooms were out of order at the time we were there, so we had to get our pizza to go. It would have been nice to enjoy the outdoors seating. So glad we went out of our way to go here though, the pizza was DEFINITELY DELICIOUS!!

Spicy Salami pizza 4.5. MNNNN! Peach & prosciutto pizza 4.2. I think I'd grill the peaches to help pop the flavor and yet, it was still DELIGHTFUL Pizza dough is more like a nice pita texture. We both enjoyed it. Thin in the middle, puffy on the edges. The burrata plate with sweet little tomatoes / arugula and drizzled with a delectable delight ..4.7. For a perfect 5 I'd love the burrata to be creamier and the French bread toast to be a wee more sour or denser. It was more than nice as was and as my husband stated we might come back just for the appetizers alone. We had the marscopone raspberry desert. It was good but not enough to reorder. I'll take our servers suggestion next time. Service was a 10. She was spot on in every way!!! No wait at 4:15pm on a Friday. We will happily return in the Fall with friends in tow and sit outside and relish food and wine on the sweet patio.

I just came back from Rome so having this was a yummy little reminder of there! They use really high quality ingredients and I loved the charred taste on the pizza. Their servers were super friendly and gave good recommendations for our first time there. Overall the vibe was super cute with string lights and some live music. I definitely want to come back here and try some more menu items!

Everything was amazing...just like always! We have been to Cibo many times and it never disappoints. The outdoor ambiance is cozy & beautiful. They have amazing appetizers (arancini & calamari), delicious wood fired pizza (our favorite is the Lil Peppa) and mouth watering desserts. We are usually full by dessert but we always have one for the table. Our favorites are the tiramisu & nutella crepes with strawberries. This is a 5 star hidden gem!

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity: + the crust, the bread. Seriously. You can just stop there + our server, sierra, was helpful and friendly + cute house conversion (though limited / sporadic parking) - not a ton of flavor in the sauce. But again, the crust

Ambiance 5 stars! Food 3 stars Service 1 star I believe we had a bit of an outlier experience and would love to go again and order different items. We came as a large group with a reservation and were seated promptly. Our waitress came to take drink orders, which were delivered promptly, and then didn't come back for ages. We were so hungry but 1 person in our party wasn't there yet. We had to guess the server was waiting on that person to arrive, but we had her order and wished we'd been asked or checked on. Most of us ordered salads to share as starters, along with pasta or pizza dishes as mains. The salads arrived with no plates for sharing or utensils. We had to ask the person delivering the food. I had the Ostia salad, which sounded so different I figured it had to be really good, but it's really like a Ceasar salad with the dressing swapped for hummus. Strange, and needed something to balance the hummus. The pastas received praise, but those of us who got pizza all found them disappointing, with bland, slightly sweet sauce.

Our evening at Cibo was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that felt like a warm, familial embrace. The staff at Cibo took hospitality to a new level, ensuring that our every need was met with a smile, making us feel cherished and valued. The outdoor garden seating was a highlight of our experience. With the soft glow of warm lighting and the presence of ancient trees, it felt as though we had been transported to a serene Sicilian villa. The ambiance was not just inviting; it was downright cozy, setting the stage for a leisurely, unhurried meal. Our culinary journey commenced with the meatballs and salad, both of which were exceptional and clearly homemade with care. Each bite resonated with flavors that felt like they had been passed down through generations, invoking a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The pizzas we ordered were nothing short of spectacular. Comparisons to other pizza joints in Phoenix are futile because Cibo's offerings stand in a league of their own. The pizzas were masterpieces, each bite bursting with a medley of flavors and crafted with an artisanal touch. The quality of ingredients was evident, making every slice a delightful experience. To conclude our meal, we indulged in a thin crepe adorned with ice cream and fresh fruits. What elevated this dessert was the whipped cream, freshly prepared and impossibly light. It was a testament to the attention to detail that Cibo places in every aspect of their menu. But what truly set Cibo apart was not just the exceptional food. It was the entire experience - the genuine warmth of the staff, the enchanting outdoor setting, and the feeling of being welcomed into a big, loving Italian family. Dining at Cibo wasn't just a meal; it was a celebration of togetherness, good food, and the simple joys of life. In conclusion, if you're seeking more than just a meal; if you're yearning for an experience that nurtures the soul, Cibo is the place to be. Prepare yourself to be treated not just as a customer, but as a cherished member of the family. I wholeheartedly recommend Cibo to anyone who appreciates the art of slow-paced, family-oriented dining. It's not just a restaurant; it's a heartwarming journey that lingers in your memory long after the meal is over.

Cute date night spot - try to reserve for the patio which we mistakenly didn't do - pretty ambiance with cute string lights. We sat inside and were promptly greeted by our server who was really kind! We ordered the bruschetta, cacio e pepe, and tartufata white pizza. Bruschetta: honestly disappointed in this and it wasn't a good start lol. Personal preference though...wish the bread wasn't so hard throughout and the toppings were very light and not very flavorful. Refreshing though. Cacio e pepe: pretty good but a too salty, expected of this kind of pasta though. Saved the leftover sauce to dip our pizza crust in. Tartufata pizza: STUNNING. Clear winner here and changed our initial thoughts about the food - makes sense though if they're famous for their pizza get the pizza lol! The crust was soft and fluffy and easy to eat. The pizza toppings were delicious and I loved the truffle oil. Dessert: came for my birthday and they gave me a yummy nutella crepe with ice cream on top! There's always room for dessert and this was no exception. Such a kind gesture. Would definitely return for the pizza, it was amazing.

Painfully, I have to give three stars. While this establishment has been a five star restaurant many years for me, recently it is evident that they have changed some business practices. Whether it is non-helpful service staff when faced with issues with food, or beginning to charge extra for sides that were not normally charged as an additional item. The quality overall has significantly decreased with the portion sizes of the pizza and pasta. While the people coming to the restaurant has only increased, it seems they are cutting costs in places that once made the restaurant a much more enjoyable experience. While the restaurant's inside and outside continue to be a great ambience and environment, the recent non-welcoming atmosphere has ruined it for me.

Meh. Let a lot to be desired. Calamari was extremely overcooked, couldn't even tell it was calamari. Asked if they could remake it less crunchy & waitress said no. That's how they make it. I love Calamari. Pizza was okay. Thought the burrata would come as burrata yet it was just baked on as a normal mozzarella. Cute ambiance.

I had heard so many great things about this place but was unfortunately disappointed. The atmosphere is super cute, especially if there's nice weather out but that's about it. The bruschetta was the most disappointing, the taste was way too bland. Their pasta and pizza was okay, nothing crazy. We came on a slower day but felt that the service was also slow.

We ordered take out on a Saturday and the wait was about 30-45 minutes long. We went a bit early and the kind host told us he would try to have it out asap. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes on their benches. The ambiance was very pretty-- lot of couples on their romantic dates. Their patio seating seemed like it was inside a garden with hanging lights! The diavola pizza was delicious. It had the perfect thin crust and crispy! I would pass on the bolognese.

The ambiance is the best part of Cibo! We also had a fantastic server (Jamey) who talked us into balsamic soaked pearl onions on our pizza. *Chef's kiss.* Everything that we ordered leaned slightly too sweet so we will likely try different offerings and pairings next t time we go. Lots of wine to choose from!

Great pizza and pasta! Everything is really fresh here. The outdoor patio is really nice with string lights and lots of shade. My favorite was the pasta - gnochetti with truffle and prosciutto. It is very filling and cheesy. All the pasta is freshly made. They have a nice selection of wines too.

The environment is really nice. A very pretty location with good ambiance. The service is pretty slow but nice. Not much to say. The food is very... Inoffensive put in a good way, bland and lacks identity in a bad way. Everything I tried from the arancini to the pizzas is bland. The arancini has like 5 peas inside with cheese and that's it. It's just a fried ball that tastes like nothing. I was kind of offended they actually serve something so ??? I don't even know what to call it. It's just nothing. It's not even bad, it's just nothing. The pizzas are floppy and flavorless. The mushroom white pizza was nauseatingly greasy. They also put olive oil and vinegar on the table like they'd serve bread, but they said it was for the crust. Kind of strange. Overall a very disappointing spot. I'd go here if you want flavorless, bland, absence of taste, no identity, catering to the most common denominator pizza you can find in PHX. It's definitely a great spot if you hate the idea of flavor that's not salt.

Best pizza ever!! Wow. We went there for my birthday last week and I can't wait to go back. We ordered a salad to share, the one with strawberries and walnuts, and they brought us this basket of GF bread that was incredible. Then pizza! The vegetariana was delicious and then a pesto one with potatoes and onions. So so good! The crust is incredible as well. Dessert was a crepe with mascarpone and berries and then they brought us a second one with Nutella and ice cream since it was my birthday! And yes, the crepes are GF if you ask. Service was great. Prices great. Pizza astounding! Don't pass this place up. It's amazing.

I'm so sad , it's lost it's touch. When I first started coming to this restaurant everything was amazing. I feel like now it maybe so busy that the quality has gone down. My bolognese pasta was so unrecognizable. The pasta was over cooked, the sauce and meat were not seasoned well. The food took a long time to get there as well. The outside seating at night is still so beautiful and the servers always provide amazing service. I'll be back to try again , maybe just a busy night.

Great Italian restaurant. Known for their pizza. We enjoyed the pizza so much I didn't have time to take a picture of it! Great outdoor seating for night time.

Tried this place for the first time on a Thursday night with some friends. We arrived around 7pm and were quoted a 30 min wait-- we were pleasantly surprised when we only had to wait about 5-10 mins until we were seated. We sat outside on the patio under the sparkly lights and this was such a vibe! Our server was great-- he pointed us in the right direction for appetizers and entrees. I really recommend the Ostia salad-- the candied walnuts are delightful and the crunch of the onions create wonderful flavors and texture. For entrees we ordered the La Noce pizza with a gluten free crust and the Vegetariana pizza. I could not taste a difference at all between the gluten free pizza crust. This was some of the best pizza I've ever had. I love how the toppings are loaded on and the sauce is light and not sour from the tomatoes. This place is perfect for any occasion!

Came to Cibo for Valentine's Day and it was very nice! We got sat outside, which was so beautiful because of the lights outside. I got a plate of gnocchi that has truffle oil. It was so amazing. The pizza was also very delicious, we added spicy salami in addition to the pepperonis. The service was also amazing! I was gifted a rose after my meal. I would forsure come back!

I was not going to pass up the opportunity to swing by Cibo for a gluten free pizza and crepe even if it meant an extra Uber ride today! It's that good! Jesus quickly greeted and seated me, he recommended the gluten free pizza which was wonderful. The crust is perfection and not like any other gluten free crust I've had, I love the texture the oven brings to it. I finished the meal with a gluten free crepe of Nutella and mascarpone, absolutely delicious! I added the whipped creme and strawberries based off Jesus' recommendation; the flavors come together beautifully! I ordered a tonno sandwich (tuna) and calamari to take home to hubby!

I came here with a couple of friends before we headed to a concert later that evening. The patio was cute and the ambiance was suitable for the outdoor seating area. The food choices and the fast preparation of our meals was better than expected. The pizzas look and taste great and they're reasonably priced. The sandwich options and fries were tasty too. I opted for the pastrami with grilled onion sandwich with a side of truffle fries. The portion and price were reasonable for this entree as well. For an Italian style restaurant I would have hoped they'd have an Italian beef sandwich but it wasn't there. Man, I'd they had this on the menu I would have ordered it in a heart beat. Aside from the service being less than desirable and the server not knowing the menu contents, not being mindful of the beverage pouring, and repeatedly dropping silverware, it was an enjoyable experience. I would definitely come back again for more.
