This was possibly one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. Farfelle along with their spinach salad. The waitress was magnificent- smiling, helpful, responsive, caring and prompt, but only when we wanted something. Not "bothersome". If I'm ever in Calgary again I will definitely eat here.

I went here today and was surprised by how adorable the patio is! It's closed off from 17th in its own enclosed area. You're surrounded by a very old-timey blue wood fence and there are vines hanging off of everything. It's really beautiful and looks like a secret garden hideaway. If you're on 17th I highly recommend coming and sitting on their private patio. The crowd is great too

Their wine... more

Mushroom pizza is the best. Pineapple pizza was also good. Pear pizza was not great - was very bare when it came to toppings and
tasted like a dessert pizza. Today, the pizza crust wasn't great. It was very thick in some parts.

Wow wow wow. Service was amazing. Our server was Kelsey and she was exceptional. Very well versed on the menu extremely friendly and overall A++ for her attentiveness in a already packed restaurant. The food was timed perfectly as we ordered 3 apps and main meal. Dessert and expresso topped of the phenomenal meal. Kudos to all the staff at Cibo. We will be repeat customers here for sure.

This place was recommended by a friend, so we had high expectations. Very disappointed. We were told to ask for seating upstairs, because it was "quieter ". NOT. All the diners were yelling to each other to be heard over the din from other diners yelling. The noise was deafening.
The food was not great. My stuffed veal cutlet was dry, tough, greasy, and gave every sign of having been deep... more

Love myself a good, authentic Italian restaurant, and this one was on point! Came here to catch up with a couple friends, so the ambiance and environment was pretty good for that (though the music did get a bit loud at times!).

Came here a little earlier than our reservation time, but the hostess was super nice and seated us right away. Went straight upstairs to a more open area and had nice... more

Warm, friendly, happening, loud (just loud enough), great italian food, good alcohol selection, lively environment, large and spacious, parking at the back...
What else could you ask for on 17th Ave?!

One of my favourite places, especially in the spring/summer when we can sit out on the patio. Service and food is great!

Great experience!! Food was 10/10 excellent and the half price pizza for happy hour is a must!! Host staff was pretty grumpy but once we got in and seated it was excellent!

My kid and I have eaten here a dozen or so times for lunch. Consistently good and their $15 lunch board is a great deal and comes with a homemade treat to take home in a brown paper bag.

They also have a great $5 cocktail special on certain days of the week. Also available is a kids menu.

I'm never disappointed when I come here for food or just drinks. It's a great and very lively atmosphere, no matter what time of day or night you arrive. It's always busy.

I try, at every restaurant to try something new and different, but with this place I have my "go to". I always order the Gnocchi for dinner and Tiramisu for dessert. Yes, boring to some but they do such a great job with... more

Food was super!..... it was just my boyfriend and I, and they charged 4$ for water =.=

I absolutely love Cibo, it's excellent Italian food with a great price. Every time we go, it just gets better and better.

Frogs legs were great and the wine was good. They put us in a terrible spot at first but with a little prodding we were moved to a great table.

worst customer service.. food took more than hour to arrive.. food was cold.. our server was rude.. btw they also charged us for water.. never going back there again..

Been to Cibo a few times and really liked it for the 17th Ave scene. Was disappointed a few weeks ago that they changed their menu as we liked a lot of the appetizers and entrees that they had before

Pizzas are yummy with a good crust. Nice wine selection. Pastas are delicious with great homemade pasta

I've been to Cibo at least 10 times over the past year and it never disappoints. The restaurant is nice with a good atmosphere but can be a bit noisy. On weekends for dinner you definitely should get a reservation. Service is always friendly and quick!

Caesars here are excellent, as is the pizza - I think I've had every one and liked them all. Pretty disappointed they changed the menu and got... more

I made a reservation online and was late and they held the table for me. The waitress was polite and friendly and explained what the resturant was all about. The service was very good and food ( spaghetti and meatballs) was excellent! The spaghetti was perfectly cooked with home made meatballs! I had a bad cold and the waitress had a special drink made up for me. I would definitely recommend... more

Not worth it, I had the ravioli, it had an entire bulb of garlic in it, and it was completed raw garlic as well. My partner had the chicken Alfredo, it was completely cold and tasteless. Could of had better at the Olive Garden

Great place and Awesome pizza. 3-5 weekdays $5 pizza well worth the visit! A bit pricy the rest of the week.

I find Cibo is a hit and miss especially with the service. While the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the location is great I find the menu especially the current Fall/Winter 2014 to be quite weak and poorly balanced. I am definitely disappointed. Currently there are many rich and overly heavy foods and I do not feel there is balance in the menu. They no longer have creative and tasty... more

Pretty huge noisy place. We had a fantastic waiter, don't remember his name. The food was okay..nothing to write home about..

I'll give you the good news first. The atmosphere was nice, and it was really beautifully decorated.

The food we did receive was delicious! To start we had the arancini, and polenta fries. LOVED the arancini, it was out of this world good! As for the polenta fries, they weren't really my thing. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi, it was a good serving size, and tasted great.

The bad news. My... more

Came here again with my husband and another couple. We made a reservation for 9:30pm on Saturday and the place was packed! Always a good sign! We wanted to sit upstairs so we waited at the bar until a table for four was available. There were a few large parties upstairs and it was loud - which we like! The one disappointing thing is that they were out of two items we all really wanted to order.... more

My daughter and I stopped by after a day of shopping and ordered the pizza! All I can say is it was outstanding! Great atmosphere! Excellent service!

I have been to this restaurant 5+ times and it is always good. I have tried all of the pizzas and the pear with honey is my favorite. The Nutella dessert IS amazing.

I have been here a few times. I have had really great service each time by friendly and professional waitresses.

In my experience, the pizza is quite good. I have also tried a couple of pasta's; the spaghetti and meatballs was really good and the pappardelle with wild boar, olives and tomatoes was good too.

I should also add that they have really good happy hour deals on pizza and drinks, mon... more

So, I've been to Cibo three times and it's gotten better every time I went.
My first time, I had the bruschetta, lamb meatballs, pear pizza and gelato - all delicious. It was November though and they seated us right beside a window, so it was a little cold for my taste.
My second time going was on a double date. We each had a past entree and were not disappointed. At first, the portions looked... more

Very trendy place! Great vibes, servers are all very fun and friendly. Place is very modern yet rustic. The applies, pizza and dolces are amazing!!!!! A bit noisy but overall a fun place to meet up with friends.

I had the wild boar bacon pizza and it was delicous!! My friend had the gnocchi and it was average, nothing special! I would definitely go back for their 5$ pizza sometime! Service was good and food didn't take too long. Overall great place and really cool atmosphere :)

Food was good. Maybe I'm just not worldly enough, but I needed help deciphering the menu. I would highly recommend the wild boar bacon pizza. The gnocchi was good, not overly filling however, and I like to feel stuffed. White chocolate walnut cheesecake was rich and amazing, tiramisu wasn't to sweet but creamy and delicious. Service was helpful, but not overly engaging. Would come here again to... more

I could really love @cibocalgary but won't. The food is lovely enough but the service leaves something to be desired. It's a shame the staff didn't even make mention of a Happy Hour menu for their $5 Happy Hour pizza, otherwise I would go back. But they didn't, and I won't. Not worth the price.

Will return!

Great food and great atmosphere, couldn't have asked for more.

Server and food

I loved our server. It was my birthday and she was great. She was personable and funny. I liked that she joked around with us. It made the experience way better. The food was also amazing.

Had the mussel appetizer, wild boar pizza, and ravioli entree split with a friend. Interior decor very well put together - 2 floors, lots of seating! We sat on the patio though and had a very pleasant, friendly server. Food came promptly, very delicious. Overall solid choice for Italian on 17th ave. The only thing that took away from the 5 stars would just be the price - Its always about the... more

Great appies

Variety of appetizers made for sharing, endless supply of crustinis was provided

Not up to expectations

Based on the reviews we thought we were going to get a very good meal. We were disappointed. Though the lamb meatballs were very good, they came after our main courses had arrived. Kudos to the server, who deleted them from our bill. The gnocchi was reported to be some of the best around. My wife has ordered and enjoyed... more

Great food and amazing staff

I am always blown away by the amazing wait staff at Cibo. They take amazingly good care of you and are genuinely happy to be working and sharing everything with you. As always, dinner was amazing, I completely recommend the risotto!

Very Popular

Restauarant was busy on a holiday Monday for dinner. Interior was very loud - I had trouble hearing my dining companions, and had to raise my voice for them to hear me. Service was OK - there were times when we were clearly ready for service (i.e. water glasses empty, plates ready to be cleared) and it was several minutes before the waiter returned to attend to us. The chicken I had was lovely,... more

Poor

Not the greatest place on 17th to go if you are hungry, serving size and menu extremely poor and over priced! Walk on down the avenue and find some place better

Weekend brunch

I was very pleased with my most recent visit to Cibo. I've been a number of times for dinner inside the restaurant, but this time went for a weekend brunch on the patio. The food was great and the patio is so nice. Hard to believe you're on 17th... It's nice and secluded with a nice garden feel.

Choice Excellent

Wonderful place to go to. My wife and I absolutely love the food, we will always come back.

Fun with BFF

Had a great night with my BFF - we had some great drinks and lots of yummy appetizers! Highly recommend.

Food was good, but poor service

I went there for some coworker's farewell dinner. When I arrived I didn't know where the table was, so I stood at the door waiting for a waiter/waitress to assist me. Stood there for 5 minutes, 3 waitress saw me, but none bothered to ask if I needed assistance. So I decided to roam around the restaurant and look for... more

Awesome as always

Service was fantastic, food was perfect. Love this restaurant.

Used to love going here but last couple times have been so dissapponting. Our server took down two seperate orders before returning each time 10 min later to say they did not have it. The last time we went our server forgot one of the items we ordered and then was not attentive at all during the time we were there. Horrible service with no compensation which is too bad because the first time I... more

My family is Italian and we have a lot of really epic cooks in the family. Because of that, I am very picky about eating Italian in restaurants. I find myself consistently disappointed, trying Italian restaurant after Italian restaurant in Calgary, and I am so happy to report that I have actually found a place that meets my high standards! Cibo has great service, great food and a great... more

Wonderful lunch

Saturday lunch. Shared 2 pizza's and 3 scodellina among 4 people. Plenty of food. Pleasant wait staff. Good wine list. Altogether a wonderful lunch

Excellent service

Our waiter was the most plesent person we've ever had! The food was spectacular as always... One of our go to places for a quick dinner out

Dinner for 2 was perfect

Tuesday night was cheap drink night! Who knew?! This was my fourth time at Cibo but this time I took my boyfriend for his birthday. I love Cibo because it's perfect with lots of friends because you can share everything. This time was a bit different with just the two of us but I had him instantly hooked with the lamb meat balls and a variety of other snackables. We finished with gnocchi which... more

Great dining experience at Cibo!

My husband and I made reservations for an early Saturday evening meal at Cibo, and managed to get a table on their lovely patio. The patio was rustic and well covered by umbrellas with great privacy (but not so much the noise) from the bustle of 17 ave. We were impressed with our service, the food and the price of our meal. We shared an appy, lamb meatballs, highly recommend, and I had the... more

Terrible service. Table 8. Maybe the automatic gratuity prompted our server to think things such as clearing plates and offering coffee or dessert were unnecessary.

Yum

Great food, good wine. Love the scodellina & the spicy meatball pizza was delicioso! Great ambiance as well, since we sat on their patio.

Very good value for the money. Relaxing and fun atmosphere. Excellent service.

My first visit here was during YYC Hot Chocolate Fest. They had one of the winning hot chocolates. I stopped in, sat at the bar and partook in their wine infused hot chocolate, a glass of wine and some of the Scodellina.

This building used to be a video place and they've done a great job remodeling. My recent visit had us seated on the patio (lovely and very private) for lunch and a business... more

Had team lunch for 6, service was efficient, portions appropriate. Sat on the beautiful patio and felt like we were in Tuscany! We were done in an hour, even after having desert. An excellent outing.

Nice spot for dinner

We selected Cibo after reading the reviews on Trip Adviser. We were not disappointed. Cibo is a relaxing casual restaurant with good service, atmosphere and food. We had an excellent appetizer, capresse salad and gnocchi thanks to our discussion with the servicer. He was excellent and very attentive to our needs. Our only criticism was the main course came too... more

Food was overly oily. Slow service.

The chef, or chefs, need to cut back on the oil a bit. Though the oil quality was high, there was too much of it. The bottom of the bowl had a small pool of oil left over at the end of the meal. The service was glacial even though the restaurant was about half full. The actual food (notwithstanding the oil) was very well-prepared and seasoned with an expert hand. Because of this, I'd give Cibo... more

Just a great place to catch up with a dear friend over wonderful food and great wine. Fantastic service!

Patio paradise

We felt worlds away from the noise and exhaust fumes of 17th Avenue while dining on the Cibo patio. I had friends in from the coast and they were duly impressed with the environment, food, service and selection. This was my first patio seating there but it was worth the wait and I'll definitely be back.

Great attitude and feel

This was my second visit to Cibo, again, I was greeted by happy and helpful staff. We were helped promptly with drinks and food orders. food was served quickly. water was filled before our glasses were empty, Its nice not having to flag down busy staff to get water.
The food was delicious. however, The pizza I had the first time visiting was so amazing I had a hard time not regretting having... more

Great Place!

My boyfriend and I went for our first time during pizza happy hour and loved it! We sat on the upper level and I thought the decoration and overall atmosphere was great and the food was fabulous! I had the zucchini and feta pizza and it was delicious. Made for a cheap date ($10.50 total!) that didn't sacrifice taste or romance. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Love happy hour here! $5 for a pizza and $4 for a pint of Mill St! How can you possibly go wrong?

Good food and menu is seasonal

Cibo is one of our favourite go-to places for Italian dining. The food is fresh and tasty and not pretentious. Even our US based visitors agree that it was good food!

Great Food Great Service

Had a great overall experience at Cibo on my wedding anniversary. The service was top notch which can sometimes be suspect in Calgary these days with so many restaurants trying to stay afloat. The food was great, pasta, pizza, antipasto and my favorite the halibut ceviche!

Consistently Good

I have been to Cibo numerous times and the food is always good and the service friendly. Prices are reasonable, especially during happy hour :) Recommend to anyone looking for a casual but nice atmosphere and good food to share with friends.

Great Food and Service!

We invited some friends out for dinner as we have been there before and really enjoyed it! The Pig Tails and Wild Boar Bacon Pizza were a big hit, our server was great she explained everything and didn't rush us in the least. The only complaint all of us had was the noise level we could barely hear each other but I am sure it being Stampede didn't help. Great Food! Please keep up the good work!

The first time I went to Cibo I had the chicken salad which was the best I had ever had. Since then I have been back twice and both times disappointed with the same salad. I was told they changed the recipe somewhat. Not sure why they messed with a good thing. Will not order that again. Had pasta and pizza both were good. Service was excellent. Bring back the old salad!!!

The food was great. My clients really loved the luncheon menu that allowed them to try small portions of different items on the menu.

Good first experience.

Great location, parking available within short distance. Our waitress, Claire, took care of us throughout the evening - service was not a negative issue. Looks like they have made improvements based on the negative reviews. Food was great. Beer was great. Thanks... dm

A great night out with the girl friends

A few friends and I went here Friday night and had a great time.
The server could sense we were there for the long haul (as we were there to catch up after a while apart). She was super professional and there when we needed something.
We split three starters for $11 - loved it all. The riccotta with honey... more

Loved Cibo since it first opened!

As far as the 17th ave dining scene goes.. this place is affordable, fun and hip. The service level is outstanding. Hats of to the servers and hosts who go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. I loved the $5 pizza deals. Some of the best pizza in the city and with top notch igredients to boot. Perfect cocktail list and modern atmoshphere make this place a great patio spot too :)

Made a reservation one month in advance still unable to accommodate us on the patio... more

Sweet patio space

Lucked out at the end of June with a sunny afternoon on the patio at Cibo for lunch with a friend. We shared a 3 piece Scodellina and ran out of accompanying bread crisps. Our server noticed this and brought us more fairly quickly. Everything was awesome but I don't think I'd order the Pork Panino again. Although it totally tasted fine it wasn't prepared how the menu described (radicchio... more

That CIBO Experience

There are very few places that cater to the niche of good food, good ambiance & kid-friendly too, but Cibo does. (It's also large-group friendly.) Great meal, great service and our 4-year-old guest liked it too. Definitely recommended.

Disappointing

I had made a reservation via Open Table to take my fiancee and my inlaws here for dinner, I had requested a patio table in the reservation and showed up about 15 mins early to make sure we could get a seat. We were told that it would be a 45 min wait so we decided to eat inside. Our... more

Bring your friends, not your folks

Great food, friendly service, and a nice wine list made for a great dinner at a decent price. Brought my parents and an Aunt and uncle on a Saturday night. They didn't really get the whole order and share whatever comes out first. But the server did a great job dividing it up into a proper first and second course. Vibrant atmosphere, made it a little hard for ol' pops to hear some of the... more

Delicious. I always enjoy the food at cibo and the servers are very friendly and pleasant. It was a little bit too noisy for my liking but that's no one's fault it's just an indicator that it's a busy place

Always good!

I've never had a bad experience at CIBO. Their staff is great, the menu is unique and the sharing aspect makes it one of my favourite places.

Great spot

Service was good, our server had lots to say about the menu items and did a good job describing them to us and letting us know the most popular/his fav etc, which I appreciated.
Food was great, we tried 5 of the tapas options, all of which were amazing!
The pizza was also delicious, perfect for sharing.
The only thing I was disappointed with was the dessert. I ordered the chocolate praline... more

2.5 stars for atmosphere
3.5 stars for service
5 stars for the food!

The decor is nice, but it's a cavernous open space full of hard surfaces. Out for an intimate dinner, or looking to converse comfortably with friends? Not here. The background noise levels are incredible. When there's a rare lull in the racket, you realize they have music playing at a reasonably loud level - but you'll seldom... more

Delicious!!

This place never disappoints. Excellent food, ambiance and service!!

Fantastic Restaurant

This is one of my favorite restaurants for lunch. Love everything about it and find the little complementary goodies that they give us a special touch. Will be going back soon.

Alix carter

I've always had great experiences at cibo. In this case The food was great but the service was not. A few of us ordered appetizers which did not come before the meal. Server did not even give any recognition to this fact and just brushed it off.

Cibo is the best!

Went for a belated Father's Day at Cibo the other night. I had been there a couple of times before, once for a work function and another time to enjoy their beautiful, secluded and flower-draped patio. The food, drinks, and service never disappoint and the shared plates with high-quality ingredients make for a fun and interactive meal. Their red velvet cake made with beets is divine. You will... more

Great spot for lunch

We dropped in here for lunch and had the 3-course lunch deal which was great value at $15. The food was well presented and very tasty. Our server was friendly and helpful too. Would come here again for sure.

Had a great lunch with a client ... meal was good .. althought the appetize and the pizza arrived at the same time ! It was relatively busy, so it was ezcusable ... more

Happy Fathers Day

Thank you for a wonderful evening, great service, amazing selection of Italian food. Tiramasu was to die for! Ravioli was spicy good, which means I could still taste the food, Pizza was good, but a little burnt, coffee could have been hotter, but that could be me lol. Recommended by my son after his involvement with Top Chef Event.

I have been to Cibo twice in the past two months. Both times the service has been friendly and well timed. However, the food leaves much to be desired.

The first visit, I was with one friend and we order two appetizers, a pasta, a pizza, and two desserts. We ordered the arancini and a trio of scodellina (bruschetta, golden beets, buffalo mozzarella). The arancini had good texture but lacked in... more

Fantastic

Made a reservation for a graduation dinner and could not have enjoyed it more. I am a frequent diner at Cibo and my family including my grandparents raved about the good food and experience days after. It has always been one of my top choices and will continue to be.

Killer pizza crust

One of the best pizzas in the city. Decor is awesome and service was good.

good dinner

Good dinner, food and service good. We'll come again !

Great Night

Caught up with an old friend and had a great time in a vibrant loaction. Love the menu items that can be shared and a wine list filled with excellent selections and resonable price points.
Waiter was excellent and the overall experience was fantastic considering the price point.

Four for the food

It has a good reputation so we dropped by for lunch. We all had the lunch special which was a mixed plate. No quibbles there, well presented, good taste and adequate quantities. It's a very good location and surprisingly large over two floors. The décor is a combination of retro and minimal, what we would call Calgary chic. We could... more

Date night at Cibo

I took my boyfriend for a dinner date at Cibo where it was his first experience and my second. Due to the weather, we had an inside table. The tables were not crowded and we weren't rubbing shoulders with our neighbours by any means. The menu is designed for sharing, which is perfect for us; we had scoldellina (ricotta, bruschetta, and egglplant puree) and shared the farfalle. Food was amazing... more

Neighborhood star!

The best pizza in the neighborhood! Very friendly service, welcoming atmosphere, great food and wine.

We go to Cibo often - this was the tastiest meal we'd ever had there. Great to see the restaurant is not only consistently good, but getting better!

Went here with a large group for dinner on a Saturday night. They were very accommodating and served us all around the same time. I ordered the chicken salad which was fantastic! I portion is very large - I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The only reason I give it 4/5 stars instead of 5 is that I didn't find the pizza that great. I tried a few bites of someone else's and it was... more

Yum Yum Yum! Had a great meal! Can't wait to go back.
Food was awesome (served family style), and easy to share.
Atmosphere was also great.

Wonderful Food

We ate there last nite. We had the lamb meatball appetizer, which was delicious and the arancini, which we could have skipped. I don t know what the spice was in the meatballs but the flavors were awesome. We had 3 pasta dishes: pappardelle (lamb), the farfalle (boar bacon and chicken), and ravioli (beef and pork) and one piatti, the... more

Cibo has always been a spot I've recommended from hearing word of mouth, but I had never previously been.

With my dad in town I decided to give it a shot.

The food was very very good. I don't know how they do it but everything we ate was full of taste and absolutely delicious.

However (And I'd like to hear a response from Cibo on this..) was what in the world was the hostess/wait staff... more

Great spot for lunch! Loved the flat bread and has great service. It was easy to get a table as well.

The only thing was that they didn't have a change table in the washroom and our friends with a baby were a little inconvenienced.

Friendly, quick service. Delicious gnocchi, pineapple pizza, and sangria. Very consistent from the kitchen. When there was a wait for a table, the hostess didn't offer options such as sitting at the bar until we suggested it. However, if you do get on the waiting list, they'll text you when your table is ready.

Best Gnocchi Ever

This place is beautiful on the outside and inside. During patio season, they definitely have one of the best in Calgary. If you order a starter, be sure to order the Gnocchi. I have had gnocchi at several other restaurants, including some in New York and Italy, and this is the best gnocchi I have had thus far. I'm sure... more

Just love this place! My friend had pizza and I tryed pasta with mushrooms. Both was delicious, but they have the best desserts! If u would go there, you should try Caramel Walnut Tart. It ´ s heaven in your mouth. :)

Start with Scodellina

Been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Great menu, friendly helpful staff who provide very good service and most importantly amazing food! I highly recommend starting with Scodellina, the Tuscan Chicken Liver Pâté is to die for!!!! Save room for dessert, you need to have a mega sweet tooth but totally worth it..

Share and share alike

Cibo is a 17th Avenue hot spot in Calgary and on my fourth visit, I continue to be impressed. Service is terrific, with knowledgeable staff. The pizza is undoubtedly among the city's best. The sharing dishes go down well with my family. Will keep on coming back.

Been here twice, both times for a weekday lunch. On my first visit, I tried a thin crust pizza. On my second visit, I tried the lunch special, combining 3 small courses: pulled pork sandwich, wild boar salad, bruschetta with a white cheese. The food was delicious but the place is just a tad noisier than I like.

Wish this place wasn't as amazing as it is

Love the Food, Atmosphere & Service, the only problem....It is too good! It is always busy, even on Tuesday nights! If you want the most delicious Gnocchi EVER! you will be better off making a reservation a few days in advance. Love the way they do their appies too with little mix and match bites of things. The golden beets... more

Good Food - Fun Atmoshere

Really innovative menu - build your own combo small plate appetizers and unique pizzas plus more traditional Italian. Good wine list too. The staff all seem to be enjoying themselves and the service is very good. Not a quiet place and not a place to conduct business. A good place to meet people and have fun with your meal.

Been twice. Mains are pizza and pasta. Very nice. Decent service. Killer fenced patio. Would recommend.

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Love the scotellinis and pizza. Have yet to try a pasta dish! The eggplant puree is divine and my pizza favorites are the mozzerella and the pepperoni. I have tried the wild boar twice and it can be quite greasy.

Great Pizza

This place has unreal pizza. I would highly recommend the wild boar bacon pizza. The staff is great and the place has a great atmosphere.

Had some appetizers, wine and pizza here. The food is great, especially the Scodellina and the calamari we had as appetizers. The pizza is Neapolitan style.

If I hadn't been drinking so much wine, I probably would have grown impatient with the service - our food took a long time to come out.

I'd like to come back here in the summer and try the patio.

The pizza and pasta are delicious! Id recommend the wild boar and bacon. The ravioli was excellent. It gets very busy on the weekend so its best to come earlier to beat the rush (6pm)

Great Atmosphere

There was a table of 6 and we were just there for appetizers and beer. We ate a few different types of pizza which should be something everyone tries. The food was great and their beer selection was pretty good.

Some of the best pizza in town

We were introduced to Cibo on a food tour in the spring of 2012, and it's continued to be my company's favourite restaurant ever since. We even had our Christmas party there this past winter.
The food is always fresh and delicious. Especially the pizza, which I can't get enough of. I also really like the dips and crustini's you... more

Delicious Food and Cool Atmosphere

Great atmosphere here! They had a really good wine selection. The food was so good. We shared a pasta and a pizza. Can't wait to come back.
Make sure you make a reservation.

I didn't write this review until now because I felt like our case might have been an anomaly so long ago when we went to CIBO for the first and only time. However, a friend has recently gone and had the same major incident.

Although I could write a lot more about my underwhelming experience, the most important part of this review is that CIBO does not take allergies with the utmost of... more

Love the private room upstairs

For the 2nd time in just over two years, we booked the room at the back for a family dinner of 12. Again, we let our very efficient waitress bring food she thought would be appropriate for both adults and young children. Our time there was another huge success thanks to the setting and the high quality food.

Pizza time

Came back for the pizza. It was worth it, had wild boar bacon and various other meats. Great thin crust. The atmosphere is great, service was friendly, prices are a little high. Tricking area for parking.

Great pizza and Service

Celebrated our daughter's 24th birthday today here. We were a table of eight and it was a first time for six of us. The pizzas were delicious and the server was great. Will definitely eat here again.

Excellent pizza, good service, average pasta

The ultra competitive Calgary bar and restaurant scene offers an almost limitless number of choices and no where is this more evident than along 17 Avenue SW. On a recent visit to Calgary we found ourselves in this area and decided to give Cibo a try for lunch. It's a large 2 level hipster bar/eatery which I imagine is busy,... more

Friendly staff, mediocre food

Went as part of a birthday celebration. The staff was really friendly and the atmosphere was light and fun. The food was ok but nothing that would persuade me to come back for. I am also not a huge fan of the tapas style.

Full of Flavour but Short on Service

Enjoyed sharing the various menu items including pizza and choice of appetizer type tapas and a pasta dish between our small group of 3. The food was flavourful and the menu had good variety.
As others have mentioned it is noisy in Cibo (we sat upstairs and it was packed). The service was poor which was a disappointment but I... more

Most fun at a dinner out in long time

Cool place, with great friends, two out the four of us were on crutches with broken ankles so sat on the main floor, easy access for the hoppers. We had a great meal here, shared what seemed like every thing on the menu and it was all wonderful. A few glasses of wine and lots apaughs and great flavours to... more

Decent Italian on 17th Avenue SW

An excellent location in the heart of 17th Avenue SW. Service we found to be quite good from greeters to servers. The place gets busy and is loud but that's what you should expect from a restaurant of it's design. Kitchen is in full view with pizza oven and busy chefs. Food is good and well presented. Not convinced that... more

Fantastic GF Options

Went with a large group for a friends birthday dinner. Food was very good. My wife that cannot eat gluten was given a lot of options. I will say that her GF pasta was amazing and liked it better than what I had ordered (although mine was also very good!). Service on such a large group was amazing and always... more

Great Pizza and Appetizers

Great Place on 17 Ave SW. Atmosphere is eclectic Italian. Food is very tasty and the pizza crust is amazing. Took a business colleague there for lunch and they were impressed as well.

Great food and service

First time at Cibo and I was impressed. From the walk in the door we were greet, ushered to our table to join friends and attended to with the highest of professionalism. It set the tone for the rest of the night. I'd have to say that our waitress was OUTSTANDING by any standard contrary to some of the reports... more

Food is OK to good, service is lacking

Popped in here for dinner on a recent trip to Calgary. It's a bustling, loud space with lots of activity: certainly not a place you want to go for a quiet evening of conversation. Ultimately food is what matters, so we'll start there. We had an appetizer, a couple of pasta dishes and a pizza, all shared family style. The... more

Eat the pizza

By far the BEST pizza crust, which actually takes 3 days to prepare. I went with my two daughters after looking at wedding dresses etc.
Located on trendy 17th Avenue with lot's of parking close by. The restaurant is large with an upper floor area, patio in the summer, loud, casual and you can sit and watch the cooks prepare... more

Great Food Great Service

Can not comment on the entire menu as we shared a bottle of wine, some little tasting bowls and a couple of appetizers. The food was really good, and I am only sad that we did not have room to try the pizza as it looked great too. The service was incredibly warm and friendly. Loved that the place was... more

Even an italian loves this place

I have a friend who is Italian, and she came to dinner with me here at Cibo and even she loves it, so that has to say something about their food. It's hard to tell you what to order because so much is good, but here's some help:
1) appetizer: the polenta fries are amazing, worth an order to share... more

Cheap delicious pizza

3pm - 5pm happy hour $5 pizza's!
To be honest pizza in this country is nothing compared to Australia but it was pretty bloody good! And only $5 each! If you feel like an early tea I recommend a visit to Cibo for great food and good service!

Good food, slow service

Went to Cibo for lunch on a Saturday with a friend. It was noon and not that busy. Our server was polite and friendly however very slow. Our lunch ended up taking 2 hrs- which was ok for us as we were busy chatting and catching up.
The food was quite good. I had the sundried tomatoe, squash and onion... more

Terrible service

I have to say that I write a lot of reviews and 90 per cent of them are very positive.Visited Cibo for a birthday party with 20 people in our group. Arrived at 6pm for our reservation and had to wait 20 minutes to get a table which was not a big deal. I had ordered drinks from the bar... more

Nice patio...forgettable food

Good patio, but very average food...not horrible, but entirely forgettable. Can think of many better places to drop $120 bucks for a couple of drinks, a couple of applies and two pasta entrees.

A 17 Avenue Find

If you Google CIBO you'll go on a world tour. However, when in Calgary you must check out CIBO on 17th Avenue. Excellent service, outstanding food and a complete wine list. Food is delicious and served as it should be, hot Italian style with a reasonable price point.
The Wine list is complete although I required some assistance from the... more

Waaaay too long for a pizza, indifferent service

We had a 4:30 reservation and had our order of two pasta dishes and a pizza in by 4:45 (it took a while at first for someone to come to our table). The two pasta dishes came out shortly after. We have been to Cibo many times and know they after food and bring it out when it is ready... more

Average option for Italian in Calgary

This place was packed on a summer night in Friday, and the open concept dining room was really loud, which didn't really allow for conversation. The food was good and the family style menu was varied. There was nothing all that memorable, either good or bad, about the food. The décor is warm and interesting. We saw people dressed in... more

Fun

Food was amazing we had lamb meatball appetizer, and pizza. Great atmosphere great service great location on right on 17th Ave.

Excellent pizza

Lovely pizza and selection of dishes for sharing. Great drinks selection and prompt service. Unfortunately our server was so quick in taking our order that my wife ordered wine before noticing which wines were on the happy hour list. It would have been nice if the server had pointed that out. Open kitchen makes for a nice atmosphere, would go... more

Great Food

I had lunch today at Cibo. It was my first visit and can't wait to go back again. I took a friend there to celebrate her birthday and we were both impressed with the service, food, food presentation and overall look of the restaurant.

nice atmosphere

Very loud but a nice atmosphere, able to look down from balcony and watch food being served. It was busy when we got there for our reservations and it was a bit slow for drinks and food but not beyond what is expected I suppose. I had pasta which was pretty good but should have had the signature dish, pizza... more

Possibly the Best Pizza in YYC

Came here for a birthday and was not disappointed. This is hands down one of the best authentic Italian meals in the city. We shared an order of arancini and polenta fries to start, which was perfect for a little warm up (there were 4 of us) knowing we would likely be eating big mains. I had their version of... more

Best Pasta

Give this a whirl,on busy 17th,one of the best. A bit pricey but best pasta dish I've had - asparagus and pea, wonderful. ( visited aug 13 )

Excellent patio

Cibo is a great spot on a sunny day in Calgary. The deck is not sunny but no wind will bother you and the noise of cars will not be heard. If you just want a nice bar to have an amazing pizza try the wild boar flatbread it is incredible. If you like a nice restaraunt with cool attratcive... more

Good food, terrible service

We went at Cibo last night, a couple of my friends and I. The food was really good but the service was terrible.
First, the waitress seemed really p@!%!d that it took like 15 mins for everybody to get to the restaurant. And even more p@!%!d that we needed more time to choose and order. We ordered appetizers and entrees.... more

Huge room, average food

Caprese very average, mostly cherry tomatoes, very sour, bitter balsamico, nice cheese if it was not drenched in the balsamico
Penne cheese a lump of strings in the bottom, pasta cool not hot, sitting somewhere?
Pasta dry, ordered olive oilwhich helped
Sent it back
