Cibus

We booked a table for 6 for dinner at late notice. The service was excellent and the food well presented and very tasty. Recommend the mixed grill, and the seasonal antipasti was super tasty and great value.

Honestly, we were disappointed. After reading so many great reviews, we were really excited to try this place, but the food just didn’t live up to the expectations. The atmosphere was nice, the staff friendly, but taste-wise, everything was just average. Nothing that made us go “wow” or crave coming back. I gave it 3 stars, which feels fair for an overall average experience.

Booked late for a dinner for 2 and had to wait a while for the reservation to be confirmed. However, worth the wait. Cibus is a wonderful Puglain restaurant. The prices are not excessive, the quality of the dishes is very good. We enjoyed everything we had. Seasonal Antipasti, Fave, Coniglio and Lamb shank. Could not fit in a sweet dish at the end. Service became a little slow as they filled up, but not a problem for us as the ambience is nice. Good wine list too. If you are in the area, this is worth a journey to.

Food is inexpensive.taste wise I would say it was ok though The pizza with a cured meat was too salty. Service was a little slow, it took us a while to get our orders and desserts. The place was open which was not suitable for non smokers

Absolutely outstanding dining experience from start to finish. I started with the veal tartare paired with stracciatella – a bold yet perfectly balanced dish that set the tone for the evening. The slow-braised lamb that followed was melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich in flavor, and deeply comforting. The pasta course was equally impressive – delicate, fresh, and full of character. Every dish felt thoughtful and executed with precision. Service was warm and professional, and the ambiance made it feel like a hidden gem worth discovering. Truly a meal to remember, can’t wait to come back.

Overall the experience was very good. We ordered appetisers (which were very tasty and fun to eat so we would definitely recommend them) as well as 2 courses. All of the dishes were quite good, and some were very interesting as well, but unfortunately we thought that the price was too high nevertheless. It was too expensive for the quality of food, and we thought that we would've been just as satisfied with other cheaper restaurants. It is worth mentioning that the service was excellent though. There were multiple waiters, all of which were very helpful and polite.

I recently had dinner at Cibus and the occasion was a birthday. I’ve already been to Cibus before and I loved it! We had dinner outside the last time so I had a great memory. While there were some enjoyable aspects, there were also a few disappointments. The restaurant offers a charming outdoor setting that’s perfect for a summer evening—the ambiance outside is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal. However, the inside was quite a different experience. It was uncomfortably hot, and the lack of air conditioning made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. In the middle of summer, this was a significant downside for me. The meal started off on a positive note with a good starter that was flavorful, fresh and nicely served. Unfortunately, the main courses didn’t live up to expectations. The lamb meat was very dry, and it was a bit burned outside, a bit disappointing as I was hoping for something more tender and succulent. The pasta with ricotta was served a bit cold, and the ricotta had an overwhelming smell and taste that was too strong for my liking, making it a bit hard to enjoy. On the bright side the wine we chose complemented the meal nicely. Overall, the food itself was underwhelming, and the lack of air conditioning inside made for an uncomfortable dining experience. I would recommend sitting outside if you decide to visit, but I hope they address some of these issues.

The best restaurant in town! Very good selection of local cheeses and meats. We loved their gorgonsola and pear dessert. I can say that was the best dessert I have ever eaten, and I am a big sweettooth. The girl who served us was amazing.

What a wonderful little gem in the heart of Ceglie Massapica. Wonderful service with delicious food and superb local wines. Great price for the quality of the food. This place is a must have.

Amazing food and service. First time I've had sheep and it was delicious. Make sure to get a cheese plate. They have a vegan cheese that is actually insanely good. Go here 100% The waiter Luigi was especially nice and helpful!

This place is great! Nice atmosphere, incredible food, and professional staff. As everywhere in Puglia the prices are very decent... My pasta was delicious and my husband mouton very tasty.
