| - I would suggest that anyone who lives here and has not been come, and if you're in town and looking for a great local non-chain restaurant that has quality food prepared the way it should, then try Cibo!
I took my man here for "mystery date night" as a surprise since he had never been. No wait at 8:45 on a Friday night (yes! take that Pizzeria B) and the atmosphere of this house is super intimate and cool. I love the atmosphere of the patio also, lit with those great off-white lights, and fire pits. We shared the burrata which was gynormus, easily enough for 4 people or a hungry us. The wine was tasty and reasonable. I was drinking a pinot grigio, and my guy had the house chianti which I never usually order anywhere since it almost always reminds of grandmas table wine - until I tried Cibo's house version. It was very good, definitely not from grandmas! Now for the pizza - it is just perfection. It has that amazing combination of char on the crust, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside with the right balance of sauce and toppings. It almost melts in your mouth, it's not heavy at all. It's nice to go out for a pizza dinner with and app and dessert and not feel like you have to roll yourself out of the joint! So we finished our romantic mystery date night with a crepe filled with nutella, ricotta, AND a scoop of ice cream on top. I don't typically die over dessert, it's my boyfriends thing. I'm an app girl - but this, it wasn't too sweet, it was so gooey and delicious and the ice cream added just the right amount of sweetness. I would never eat here without dessert again!
I have been for lunch and they can get you in and out in a little less than an hour, but they don't fire up the pizza oven till supper which is why I prefer that here. You will feel at home at this spot in a group or on a date - hell, maybe even a mystery one :)
