I cannot express how unhappy I was with the dinner I had at Cibo. If you're considering it, go elsewhere.
We attended on a Friday night without any reservations. The hostess said it would be a 15/20 minute wait and directed us to the bar. The hostess turned out to be apocalyptically bad at assessing wait times as it took an hour and a half to get a table. I wish CIBO would have just told us they were too busy to seat us - we would have gone somewhere else bust instead they kept telling us it would only be 10 minutes.
At the bar we ordered drinks - I hated the grapefruit cocktail I ordered: all you tasted was the bitter, no grapefruit taste at all. Also, my guest who does not drink, asked for a mocktail and the bartender refused telling her that they didn't have any mixes, which seemed odd for a bar.
We ordered the polenta fries which were the only good thing about the night. I also ordered a ceasar salad and a soup. The soup was good but the salad was a joke. $14 was so over priced for the small portion you get. I also had to ask for dressing because it came without.
I get that at some of the nice places in Toronto some of the plates are over priced. But atleast you expect the service to be good. Our waiter practically slammed the plates down and ran, rather than chat with us and see how we are doing. It was obvious he was over burdened - but that shouldn't be at our expense.
There are much more authentic Italian restaurants in Toronto with better prices and service - don't waste your time and money at a CIBO establishment.
