| - Cibo is one of my favorite restaurants here in the valley. It has everything that I'm looking for. Excellent food (pizza), good prices, great vibe and scene. I have been here several times, but we last visited Cibo the other day so it refreshed my memory. Plus, I realized that I never reviewed it before!
Anyways, we came on a Tuesday afternoon during happy hour. It was such a nice spring Phoenix afternoon that we sat outside in their patio. Actually, this is all we have ever sat at on our prior visits. It's because I absolutely love their patio. It really feels like I'm eating in a outdoor garden. Such a cool and great feel, one of the main reasons why we keep coming back. The inside is also very nice, Cibo is a converted home into a restaurant, but we just prefer to sit on the patio.
For the happy hour menu they have several appetizers from $4-$6 dollars, plus $4 house wines and $2.5 Peronis. We ordered the Polpette (meatballs with bread). It was great, Cibo's sauce was amazing and a great compliment to the meatballs.
We also ordered from the pizza menu, the Diavola with added ricotta cheese. It was a tomato based sauce pizza with spicy salame. Our server recommend that we add ricotta cheese. I'm glad that we did, this was a great pizza. it was perfectly cooked. Crust was flakey, yet soft. The ricotta added a nice creamy texture. We really enjoyed our pizza, and with the appetizer it was a good amount of food for my wife and i to split.
We ended up passing on dessert, but have had their crepes before and they were excellent.
I really can't say much more about Cibo. Again it is one of our go to places to eat while we are in downtown Phoenix. This is a perfect place to enjoy a nice romantic meal at decent prices. Can't really beat the value here, nor the food. We look forward to coming back sometime soon!
