| - I had a wonderful time with my family at Cibreo for an early dinner before a show. Being 4:30pm on a Sunday, the place wasn't very busy, but we were seated at a nice table beside the fireplace (which wasn't on at the time but very beautiful anyways like really any spot in this restaurant!)
Our server, Michael, was wonderful and attentive with recommendations and all sorts of information about the menu. Our dinner kicked off with the breadsticks + foccacia plus butter, pesto, and olive oil spread and two salads split 4-ways. (We got the Cibreo house salad and the pazannella - both great!)
For our entrees, each of the four of us ordered something different: dad with lasagna, sister with carbonara, mom with shrimp and polenta, and you-know-who with the bolognese. (See, one great thing about my family is we are all cool with and want to try each other's dishes!) All of our entrees were enjoyed and I wouldn't hesitate to order any of them again although I think next time I'll have to try something new! I mean, c'mon - lamb with riccotta gnocchi anyone?!!
I would definitely recommend Cibreo to anyone attending a show at Playhouse Square or just looking for some good Italian fare in downtown.
