| - Great night at Cibo with my friend! I will list the great and then the not so great!
1) The restaurant is beautiful, clean and my friend and I could speak easily without having to strain our voices!
2) Our server (wish I knew her name she was an actor she told us) was wonderful! Very knowledgable, kind and attentive! She was honestly one of the best servers I've had, and service goes a LONG way for my dining experiences. Again, wish I remembered her name so she could get some recognition on here, blurgh!
3) The bread they give at the beginning was absolutely delicious! Not too salty, and served with chilies soaked in oil and olives!
4) The prices are quite good for the portions you get.
Okay, the not so good.
1) Upon entering the restaurant, the first impression I got was five chattering girls at the hostess station, talking amongst themselves very unprofessionally. They eventually greeted me very informally without a smile, and it was a jarring intro to Cibo.
I was bracing myself for a night of bad service but thank God that wasn't the case!
2) My spaghetti with seafood in a light tomato sauce (I subbed out the linguine for their homemade pasta) was just mediocre. The noodles itself were delicious and perfectly cooked, but the sauce wasn't too flavourful, and my tiger prawns were extremely overcooked and rubbery.
I wish I could give 1/2 stars, which in case it would have been a 3.5, but alas. I think I would come back and give it another go though in the future. Perhaps the chef who made my food was having an off night?!?
