Reviews Cibo

Firstly , the restaurant is very nice , busy and the staff are friendly and we will return. However , it's getting a little too expensive now , especially the wine prices and the 12.5% service charged automatically. The portion sizes were definitely smaller than our last visit - calamari £13 for 8 pieces and with the small dished prawn risotto having just THREE prawns for £18 !!! . The cheapest red wine was £30 , which again is pushing the boat out. Sweets are around £8 - again , way too much really. The thing that stood out was the automatic 12.5% service charge added to the bill. I don't agree with this feature at all and customers shouldn't be made to feel they have to pay this. Overall, we enjoyed the evening but perhaps will not rush back.

Food was great - we all had garlic breads (tomato and chilli, cheese and plain )all very good, I then enjoyed the lobster ravioli which was coated in a lobster bisque making it very enjoyable indeed. Service was top notch and the ambiance was really god particularly for a Thursday evening.

Rating: Lasagna - 8/10 ⭐️ Fillet with truffle sauce 8/10 ⭐️ Cheesy garlic bread - 7/10 🌟 Thoughts 💭 Absolutely loved eating at this restaurant in Wilmslow. The service was great and the food was spectacular. The lasagna was full of flavour and the sauce on that steak was incredible! Reviews by @thefoodiestraveldiary

One of our favourite places to eat - always superb service, wonderful and welcoming atmosphere and the food is delicious.

I've never had a bad experience at Cibo in the past probably 10 years that I've been going. The staff are so incredibly welcoming and helpful, the portion sizes are great and so many options!

I would say for how much the food in the restaurant costs I'd expect it to be nicer. The service was great, the server was attentive, polite and always had a smile. The decor of the restaurant was truly gorgeous, I wish I had taken a picture now. We were seated at a table under a couple heaters, the one I was sat by was off, which was good, but the one at the other end of the table was on and quiet warm, despite the restaurant already being warm enough. A problem I found I had was that the menu was actually massive, so big I couldn't actually see over it to see anyone else. I also found it had far too many choices and therefore words on the menu to look through, that I actually just gave up and went onto the Christmas set menu. There was five of us eating and three of us had the Christmas set menu which costs £40 for three courses. Now I'd say mine was really nice, I had tomato and basil soup for starter, chicken and mushroom in a creamy sauce and chocolate fondant for dessert. My one criticism is that the supposed garlic croutons that came with my soup, were actually three cubes of bread that didn't taste of garlic what so ever, other than that my set menu was delicious. My sister and mum, who also had the set menu, had nice starters, pasta and pate respectively, but they both had the same main of a turkey steak, with a turkey meat ball and pigs in blankets. I tried a bit of all three of those things on their plate and we all agreed, for both of them, the items were all overcooked. The turkey steak was tough to cut and chew, which shouldn't be the case. The turkey meat ball, which was literally a ball of turkey coated in bread crumbs and deep fried, was hard on the bottom, so hard that, that bit of it couldn't be eaten and then the pigs in blankets were clearly overdone as they were black, though they did taste ok. For how much the set menu cost they were a bit sad. I also observed that the garlic bread my brother-in-law got for starters, while pretty damn big, looked quite dry. However he was very happy with it, so maybe it tasted better than it looked. We all thought our desserts were lovely though. I had the chocolate fondant, which is what I took a picture of. I'd definitely recommend that and my tomato and basil soup, as it was amazing, if you don't mind bread cubes instead of croutons 😂 Saying all that, I did give the food a 4 star rating just because I did actually really enjoy mine, had I been my sister or mum reviewing the restaurant, then maybe I would've given the food 3 stars. I don't think this is a place I'd go again, it was nice to try but the food doesn't really seem necessarily worth the price and the big menu was really a struggle for me to look through.

You must try this restaurant when in Wilmslow! Food was super tasty and the service was one of the best ones we had in a while. Evi looked after us, the service was spot on. She was always attentive, recommended a brilliant wine and checking if we are happy with our choices. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful restaurant, great for the warm weather at the moment. Very helpful staff particularly with the baby and pram. Great food and good portions.
