Amen & Hallelujah! I finally made it to Cibo! I can finally join the ranks of the other (almost) 400 Yelpers to post a review!
After hearing SO much about it and working downtown for 10 years, it sure has taken me a long time to get there! Even the deserted patio (at 5:30 on a Thursday in August) made me happy. Walking inside, instantly greeted by a friendly host, followed by an equally friendly server. Service was stellar, attentive, kind, informed, relaxed but not lazy, and suggesting menu items which I always appreciate.
We decided on the special pizza of the night. Pizza Marechiaro : Fresh Bufala Mozzarella, San Marzano Dop, Chopped basil and Sea salt! Like a "super-margherita" the server said. How could we NOT get it? We also go the Pesto Salad which came with roasted potatoes, a light pesto dressing, and delicious bread to go with.
The salad was delicious as was the pizza! The ingredients were super fresh, the crust was the perfect amount of chewy, the prices were reasonable, and YES there was not a two hour wait to go with the food (even though, I still love the other place too!). The only part that I didn't love was that the super fresh tomato-ey sauce made the crust a little droopy when I picked it up. My favorite is a crispy crust that doesn't fall when you take a bite, but hey, small price to pay for perfection every where else.
Even the tiny little flowers in the tiny little bud vase on the table made my day! I can't wait to go back again . . . and again . . . and again. Lucky me I work about a mile away! You (may or may not) know me, I hardly give five stars on just one visit, but trust me, this has five stars written all over it!!
