| - Cibo... surprisingly earning 5 stars from me. This is overall a great place to EAT!
The setting:
It is on the corner of the street on 5th ave near downtown Phoenix. It is in a house, that's right, someone's house turned into a charming little restaurant where the front yard has tons of little tables weaved around trees and patio heaters in the winter. They also have a beautiful set up with the lights hung from the trees that gives you that intimate feel as soon as the sun hides out for the night. On weekends you'll get some live music, calm accoustic music from nothing but reguar joe's outside on a picnic table entertaining the old fashion way, with guitars and other instruments to soothe you into the delicious food that awaits. Inside, as soon as you walk in you notice the Chef, through a small opening, a glimpse into where the magic happens. He is there on weekends for sure. And yes you want to eat there while he is present.
The food:
It was a busy friday night for us and it was FAST. Not too fast, we did not feel rushed out of there. The pizza's had that wood fire smell I grew up with, it reminded me of the pies this Italian man used to serve out of his van (which had a wood fire oven in it), when I was a child. The best pizza in the world, somehow Cibo duplicated that taste and brought back some childhood memories just like Remy's ratatouille did for Igor.
Don't miss the Buratta appertizer, big enough to share with 3 or 4 people at $14. The cheese was simply bliss, if you love good fresh mozzarella you've had nothing yet, this buffalo moz is outstanding... creamy and perfectly balanced with grilled bread and prosciutto. You will not be sorry.
The Burschetta Trio is also a very nice size portion, it does come in six pieces for only $10. That's a bargain. If you have the buratta and then taste the mozzerella on the bruschetta you will find it bland and the mozerella will taste like a cheaper cheese so eat the bruschetta first.
now to the "Pizze"... Just triumphant. Don't look any further this has what you need, just keep your order simple and you will not dissapointed.
The Service:
Folks there sound Italian, from the greetings to pronouncing things the correct way to us butcher the beautiful language. Everything sounds and taste better when you know how it is meant to be pronouced. They were friendly and efficient. Nothing more, nothing less. Italians know that if you want to sit there for a while while you eat... go for it.
Don't miss:
The burarta app and of course the pizzas. Sit outside and enjoy the neighborhood feeling of dining in your front lawn.
REMEMBER: If you want to try some of the best Mozzerella you've ever tasted, call in advance to see if they have Burrata in that week... They can run out of this little piece of heaven...
Cibo, you are a strong restaurant, a gem. Keep up the good food and the tradition that flows in your menu.
