Cibo

Caroline was awesome. They have a diverse wine list without egregious prices; the house red is a delicious Sangiovese . We had a variety of dishes including the pasta with fresh mussels and the rib ragu. Caesar salad was beautifully presented. Service timing was perfect. This should be on your list if you like great Italian food with service to match.

My husband and I are regulars at Cibo! We absolutely love the pasta, the Cesar salad, pasta pollo, bolognese and the atmosphere. Tonight we came a little close to closing but knew exactly what we wanted to order, and our server Sara was AMAZING. She is so sweet and knew exactly when to check on us. 10/10 service and the food was (as always) delicious.

Ate late night about 9:00pm they are open till 10:00! the Cino Pizza was fantastic!!! All food was awesome. We had Pizza, Mussells in a tomato sauce, Burrata Salad, spaghetti in a red sauce and Tuscan Fried (thick cut deep fried potato almost chips but thicker) with a HOT! Dip.

Cibo serves up some really good Italian comfort food, and one of the best Caesar Salads around. Their wine list has a nice selection of Italian and OR wines at very reasonable prices, and the service is first-class.

My husband picked this restaurant for our date night and it was totally worth it. We enjoyed what we got here a lot. Foods were great, especially the Cioppino. The high ceiling with ambient light give relaxing, cozy vibes. The staff were friendly and efficient. Looking forward to bringing more friends here.

We love Cibo! Every time we come, the staff is kind and attentive. Caroline is a top notch server, always has a smile and the food is the on point! The best margarita pizza that I have ever had.. including in Italy! You can't go wrong

Impressive on all fronts. Cocktails (maple old fashioned and rosemary sour) were expertly crafted, beautifully garnished and delicately nuanced. The burrata salad was peppery arugula, combined in best way with sweet ripe cherry tomatoes and a subtle but brilliant vinaigrette. The burrata on top was a sensory delight, the outer skin straining to hold back the custardy center, and a flavor that made me reconsider my stance on dairy farming. The scallopini di pollo was what piccata wishes to grow up to become. Lemony, buttery, briny, and decadent. Reclining on a toothsome layer of Roman style gnocchi. Yum! Also making us drool was the wood fired pizza oven. Which cranked out pie after mouth watering pie. We must come back to eat one, our eyes and noses will compel us to. The Amaro flight gave way to an educational self guided interweb deep dive and the intricacies of regional Amaro components… So much diversity, depending upon what's relevant, medicinal, compatible in that region... Service was exemplary, as ever.

This place was very nice, with great service and very well done food. We were seated quickly, the atmosphere and decor was subdued and classy, and our server was quick and responsive. The menu was varied without being overwhelming. The pizza was fantastic, the crust was the perfect balance between crispy and chewy, and the flavors were 👌. Overall a solid A grade, would recommend.

After a long break, I came back to Cibo during my "Say goodbye to summer" frenzy and then found myself returning several times after that. Cibo is now one of my favorite places in all of Portland. I love the coziness of this place, especially at night. I usually grab a front-row seat at the bar and enjoy the lighting, the wooden bar-top, and the warmth radiating from the pizza oven. I've enjoyed their spaghetti and meatballs several times. It really hits the spot! And their Margherita pizza is delightful. They also have a great cocktail list and plenty of other dishes on their menu that I'd like to try someday. Service is always great. I'll be back!

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.

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!

Kicked off Portland's Dumpling Week at Cibo with their spinach and ricotta ravioli and beef cheek ravioli were delicious! We also ordered the Soppresata pizza which was a little spicy with the calabrian chilies but subdued by the honey. The bolognese pasta was creamy and meaty! We loved Cibo and can't wait to try another pizza next time!

I love this spot! My boyfriend and I went on a double date with our friends the week before Christmas. The ambiance is very spacious / high ceilings, but still manages to be cozy. Our server was very attentive checking in right when we needed something without being overbearing. Everything we ordered was delicious! We started off with the bread and butter - definitely don't skip! We followed it up with pasta con vongole, ragu, spaghetti and meatballs, and pizza. Highly recommend Cibo if you're looking for great ambiance and amazing food!

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.

This place is always awesome. It's the right balance of swanky and comfy with the low lights and big deep booths. The pizza is incredible and I also really love the antipasto plate. It changes often but is always super well rounded and satisfying. The mussels are also one of my all time favorites here.

I really need to update my review. It's been a long time and I have been back twice for the pizza. Big difference from my old review. It was very good and it was nice they were willing to add prosciutto to the margarita pizza. The flavor was great, the prosciutto was thin and good crust. I will still say Ken's is better but here you also have many other options too and on a weeknight you can get in pretty easily. My husband had the pasta with sugp and really enjoyed it too. Another time I need to get that for myself. I even got a pizza to go once and walked 10 minutes home with it and was still very good. I like the atmosphere and cool bar design. The wine was good as was the service.

From the pizza, to pasta, to mussels, and salad, Cibo is a great choice. The bar selections are great, and the staff is always on point. The pizza's are a winning choice and always a great pick. Location is central, and great for a hang night or date night. We love this place. One of Portland's hidden gems.

We were going out with friends and decided to make a reservation at Cibo. I'm so glad we did because I would have been disappointed in missing out on this delicious meal! The environment was cozy but I didn't feel packed in and we were able to have comfortable conversation without having to raise our voices whatsoever to be heard. The staff was great. Our waiter was charming and attentive. We all had different vegetarian dishes with appetizers and wonderful desserts. The pizza was good and could have been a main dish for two. The raviolis were also very tasty and more reasonable for one person each. I loved the polenta fries and they were an excellent way to start the meal. However, my favorite dish was the olive oil cake for dessert. That's what will bring me back sooner rather than later.

This is more deserving of 3.5 stars. The place is a nice large space for gathering. We sat in one of the bigger booths which was very comfy. We ordered bread and salad for apps and pizza and bolognese for entrees. Our bread came out cold so we requested it to be warmed up but our server made some passive aggressive comment the request. Kinda took away from the dinner experience. The pizza was good but they provide you scissors to cut yourself. Not sure if this place is worth the price for the service.

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.

Good pasta, pizza, and ceasar salad. Lots of room for large gatherings here. Our server was not friendly when we asked for the bread to be warmed up but at least the bread was delicious once it was.

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

Marco is the best Italian chef in PDX because he cares and is very passionate about what he does

My rating is based on pizza only, as I have not tried anything else at Cibo. We tried the margherita and the gardiniera. Where to begin? The cheese was flavorless and rubbery, like a bowling alley mozzarella stick. The sauce looked pleasant- but tasted bland- and the crust was chewy like a stale bagel. It tasted like an amalgamation of the lowest-cost ingredients that anyone could attempt to find. I really hope I caught them on a bad day, but I have to say, if they just reheated frozen grocery store pizzas it would be an improvement. Good luck!

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.

Visited for Dumpling Week and ended up having a full meal here. Their dumplings were out of this world! Very filling and rich in flavor. Was craving some good ole spaghetti and their southern style hit the spot! The meatballs were huge and the entire dish had a nice lingering spice from the peppers used. It seemed like a medium size portion from the photos but had the filling of a large plate. Great ambiance and very friendly service here, we were seated right away, even on a fully packed night.

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,

This was our first time at Cibo restaurant in Portland. We didn't know what to expect, as we were taken there by a couple family members who were familiar with the place. All we knew was that it was Italian! The restuarant itself has a nice, cozy, warm vibe to it. Great for pleasant conversation without being too loud. Our server, Steve, was absolutely great! Friendly, helpful, and attentive. What more can you ask for? I had the Duck / pork ragu and it was so tasty! I have to say though, that the duck got a bit lost in the pork, but it was still delicious! I also ordered the Old Fashioned, and it too, was delicious! We'd definitely be happy to return and work our way through the menu!

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!

Cibo gets it right, every time (thanks, y'all!). I order pizza for delivery, because parking wars on Division isn't my jam. I'd absolutely bet, however, that all of anything they make is just as spot-on. And remember... if the delivery service (Grubhub, Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.) diminishes Cibo's food, put the blame where it belongs. It'll never be Cibo's fault.

A longtime favorite of mine in Portland! Delectable food, nice wine selections, and attentive service. Rustic ambience and relaxed feel. I look forward to visiting Cibo again soon.

Great spot for food and wine! Never disappoints. If you're looking for nice restaurant in SE, this is it! Wait staff is excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend

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 :)

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.

Spaghetti and meatballs, yes. Service has always been amazing every time. The ambience is nice but make a reservation if it's on the weekend.

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!

Ambiance is good food was alright except the good pizza.. was okay, good late night dinner spot but was expecting more flavors from the bolognese pasta, was not impressed by it. Service was decent..

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.

We really enjoyed discovering Cibo. The service was good and the ambiance was inviting. My wife had the Crespelle alla Fiorentina which she really loved. I had the Pappardelle alla Bolognese....it was the best I've ever had. Definitely give this place a try.

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!

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.

Pizza and Caesar salad are excellent. We also tried the mushroom ravioli- WOW Great service too.

Excellent food and service great as t atmosphere our 3rd time in a month try the ceasar salad it's great and the bread

Always love going to Cibo, they have great food and good service. Everything I've had there has been great.

I've been coming to CIBO for over a decade, I love this place. The food, service and ambiance are lovely. I love sitting at the bar, because we love the bar staff, always friendly with the best service and drinks. My favourite dish is the spicy spaghetti. I highly recommend this restaurant for a good old PDX dining experience.

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.

Great friendly service. Delicious food all around... a little salty but not a deal breaker. Background music not overpowering... we could still carry on a conversation. Tiramisu was delicious. A wonderful birthday celebration

Food is always stellar, especially the pasta. Service is always insightful , friendly and just right.

Quickly becoming one of our go to spots. The pizza is sooo delicious! As are the pasta's and salads. The service is super friendly and warm. Prices are just right!

We ordered from the takeout window, and the gal working there was just absolutely the best. She has such a warm demeanor, she made us feel special, even though we were just picking up food from the counter. What a treasure, I look forward to coming back and experiencing more of the restaurant just based on her presence.

Food, service, and ambience all hold star. Most friendly staff. The housmade pepperoni are incredible.

What a great spot - a summer evening at the street-side tables, fun people watching, memorable service, delicious food (and great recommendations), it's a place we'll come back to again & again. The drinks were refreshing & tasty. Mussels and the broth were the very BEST. Our server brought out more toasted bread because there was no way we were not going to eat ALL the sauce.

Their caesar salad is one of my favorites in town. It's perfect. Also love their pizza. Ingredients are all top notch.

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.

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.

Have eaten here many , many times. Last night I had the Ceasar salad with chicken. Sat at the bar. Perfect. One small recommendation to the owner/management. Put chair sliders on the legs of the dining room chairs. There is nothing more annoying, for staff and patrons, than to have people slide their chairs back and forth, loudly squeaking, while you're trying to enjoy a meal. If management doesn't think it's an issue ask staff...servers and bar tenders, They hate it...

Wow, CIBO! WONDERFUL place! INVENTIVE & SUPER-Tasty dishes! One of the best & most knowledgeable wait-angels we've ever experienced! She made GREAT recommendations. -- Radicchio Salad was VERY DIFFERENT but very refreshing and not bitter. Be sure to get one! What a beautiful beginning. Our Champagne & various Italian whites were perfect. The Chanterelle Mushroom & Speck Pizza is like no pizza I've ever had. Thin chewy crisp crust. This explains the long line to pick up carry-outs. The Chicken Scallopini was a little bland but very nicely done, just not our thing. DESSERT: Olive Oil Cake & Pistachio Gelato. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME (Recommend UBER: Parking is miserable, but don't let that keep you away.)
