Recently had dinner at Cibo on a Saturday night with friends for my birthday.
The restaurant is "new" and came with good feedback.
Saturday night at Cibo in Yorkville is a busy place to be. Reservations are recommended as the place is very popular.
We were seated downstairs at a spacious booth. Our waitress, was friendly but needed many reminders to provide us bread and water for the table. It was apparent that she was busy, and maybe this was the reason why. Eventually another waitress came along with double servings of bread and olives for the table, along with a bottle of water for the table.
I ordered the green salad to start, which was fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed it.
For my main, I had the spaghetti carbonara and it too was good. My feedback on this dish is that it tended to be a bit oily at the bottom of the dish, the pancetta was under cooked, and there was no cracked black pepper to be found on the dish.
Something I also found unusual was that the waitress didn't return to offer cheese or pepper for any of our dishes.
The prices are very reasonable at Cibo and overall I would say that the food was good, but not great.
