Cibo is a good choice for dinning on King Street ;
DECOR 5/5 ;
The venue feels very spacious. There is a lot of space in between the tables and the whole main dining room feels airy. The exposed bricks and wood beams bring a nice cachet. Some lounge music is playing but its not so loud so you can carry a conversation.
SERVICE 4.5/5 ;
Consistently attentive without being too intrusive. They were on time to refill our wine and water glasses. The waitress knew the menu and the busboy was there on time to clear our dishes.
It took quite a while to get the bread. It actually came after we were served the main dishes. But given the fact it's freshly baked, it's worth the wait.
FOOD 4.5/5 ;
To start, I had the grilled calamari (4.5/5). Decent portion server with mixed greens and diced tomatoes. Calamari was well grilled and flavorful. The greens themselves were good with the light touch of olive oil.
Then I had the Orecchiette (4/5). Nice dish that could be perfected to be amazing ; Pasta tasted fresh and was cooked al dente. Sauce flavorful and the a nice fontina cheese. However there was a lot of fontina and too few parmigiano to get a nice balance.The rapini was slightly overcooked.
Just like mentioned above, the fresh bread was amazing. Tasty, slightly salty and it makes a great pair with the olive oil and the jarred peppers.
They do have a wide selection of wine and cocktail and I strongly recommend the Peter Yealands Sauvignon Blanc. Great aroma and taste.
Pricing is within the average of the downtown core restaurants but it does get you quality food and service.
