Never had a bad meal there. Breakfast is delicious I can highly recommend the Serrano ham. Also if you want a smack their antipasto platter is seriously on point
I’m in love with this place! Amazing service, food & drinks. We had Whitney as our server tonight and she was the best.
This review isn't about one specific visit. I've been here numerous times for lunch and supper - sometimes with friends and sometimes for work. Every time the food has been delicious.
The burgers, pastas, and pizzas are all fantastic! As for the appetizers, the risotto balls and the calamari are wonderful. They also have the tastiest dessert I've ever had - Giant Crème Brûlée Macaron (from Jenna Rae Cakes).
The service has always been great, and I love the space. It's a nice converted old brick building with super high ceilings, massive windows, and great views of the river.
They also have a good selection of local beers, including (usually) my local favourite - Nonsuch Belgian Blonde.
I have been here a couple times and they were both great. The food is very good and has great presentation, love the atmosphere. Only thing that sucks is the parking but that’s expected in the downtown area.
Will come back here as they have the best bruschetta variety!
Celebrated a few parties here. Food’s pretty good and has great presentation. Love the atmosphere and their attentiveness as servers. Parking can be tricky so just prepare to give yourself a bit of extra time to find a decent spot.
Food is tasty! Service is friendly, courteous and quick! Got the bruchetta which I liked because you get SIX pieces, two of each type chosen which I thought to be a nice amount vs price.
Environment is relaxed, I like the brick and the softer lighting and elemental feels.
The Cibo Mule is delicious. Very citrus/tart with a pretty light mauve colour and a thin lime on the top scattered with blueberries.
And also had the Ceasar salad and cup of soup (roasted vegetable) which exceeded my expectations of being too watery and too tomatoey, but was really tasty, thicker consistency and smokey flavoured! Loved it!
Our server Milana (sp??) was super sweet, friendly, prompt and very helpful with the menu as well!
Great experience first time there. My only qualm would be that we wanted to sit by the window. But our fault we didn't speak up.
Thanks Cibo!
I love coming to Cibo Waterfront for supper and I do come quite often. I am never disappointed in the food and sevice and my favourite is the different kinds of bruschetta that they offer. I was very disappointed that they changed there dessert menu from their own to serving only Jenna Rae Cakes products. I loved Cibo's own dessert menu and everything tasted amazing on it! I'm not a huge fan of Jenna Rae Cakes products to begin with but I figured I would give them another chance to see if things have changed. I tried the cookies and cream cake. I could not taste the oreo portion of the cake, the cake was incredibly dry and the icing tasted exactly like I was eating a sugar cube. It was so bad that my mother in law actually couldn't eat it. I highly suggest eating a meal a Cibo and skip the dessert and go somewhere where desserts actually taste good. Bring back your old dessert menu!
Went for the first time. We ordered bruschetta, arancini, pizza and buttermilk fried chicken with fries. Finished with cookies for dessert. Food was good. Fries are addictive. Really liked the apple and Brie bruschetta and the ricotta with figs. Liked the location and ambiance. Only thing I didn’t like is I felt rushed despite it being a Sunday night. Our mains arrived before we were done appetizers so I felt I had to eat quick so my main wouldn’t get cold. Even a few minutes between is nice. Dessert was served just a quick. Service was very friendly and kind. Food overall isn’t the best I ever had but it all tastes great and was cooked well. Will definitely go back.
Regular customer for years and I always leave happy. Get jeremy as your server when possible.
Recommend the bruschetta esp. The mushroom with goat cheese and apple brie.
Tried their new winter sangria not too long ago and compared to last year's, this one is better.
Cibo is an upscale cafe located on Waterfront next to the Red River. It's an excellent place for business meet-ups, dates and casual hangout!
The menu selection is limited but the food is generally pretty decent.
My go-to/favourite items on the menu are:
Bruschetta - must have!!
Cibo Pizza
Carbonara
Cibo serves shoe string fries. The fries are very skinny to the point that they remind me of Hickory Sticks. They are alright the way they are, however, they get quite greasy after having a few. We had the Beef Bourguignon Poutine at one of our visits and we would not recommend it. The stew beef, cheese curds and gravy are great, however, because of the nature of the skinny fries, they sink straight to the bottom of the gravy so you are left with a soupy bowl of poutine. The poutine would be much better if it were to be served with thicker fries.
Overall, Cibo is quite a neat place to visit! Check it out if you have never been!
I had rosé sangria and my husband and I shared the pickerel appetizer. Both were great. Our waitress was very helpful. Both the sangria and appetizer were recommended by her, and she nailed it.
My first visit was a lunch date with a friend on a warm summer afternoon, so we made the most of the sunshine and sat outdoors on the patio. The tables and umbrellas are sandwiched between the riverside restaurant and the Mere hotel, with only a side view of the Red. Ordered the beet and beef salad, with a nicely grilled, medium rare flat iron steak and plenty of fresh leafy greens. Only comment was that you had to hunt and peck under the lettuce for the small diced beets and white beans, but it was a nice combination with the light red pepper vinaigrette. Service was friendly and attentive.
Awesome river side restaurant and bar with great views of the downtown exchange district. Chris our server was great and the service was spot on. The only minor issue was I had the steak and beet salad which I ordered the steak medium rare and it was medium. Great atmosphere and a fantastic old renovated building.
Nice place right off the river. Trendy and fairly casual nice place to eat with family or friends. Small menu which is good so don’t have to wrestle and try to figure out what to choose. But everything that we had was excellent. Very tasty. Services was superb as well. Nice place over all.
My partner & I had dinner reservations and were sat at a window as we had requested. The wait staff were attentive but not intrusive.
We shared an arancini which was very good. We then both had the spaghetti carbanara and we both enjoyed it, however I did have to ask for the missing red chili flakes for mine.
We were too full for dessert!
Cibo Waterfront Cafe
This cafe is located right behind Mere hotel on Harbour Front Drive. On Sunday the parking on the street is free.
In the afternoon there was ample spots to be had.
This cafe is quite beautiful and has a classic urban feel. I love rhe high ceilings and large windows. The layout has an airy and classic feel to it. The historic area with the Red River offered many great views from inside.
Our server was wonderful and friendly. We had our drinks and orders taken promptly.
The menu may seem a bit light on choices but what they make is really good. The double pepperoni pizza has superb. The crust was great, light and airy, chewy but not tough. The cheese and sauce was so very good. One of the best tasting pizzas I've had in awhile.
If you like pepperoni pizza this place is for you.
Our son and daughter-in-law had their wedding reception here last night. Exceptional staff, very accommodating and friendly. Stunning views of the river and towards Provencher Bridge area. Delicious dinner (pest chicken/prime rib). I'd like to go back for date night, very romantic atmosphere.
Spent a delightful evening at the Cibo Waterfront cafe. Got lucky to get the patio w the view. Service was very satisfying. Food was delicious..we got the Margherita pizza, Entree Salmon and to share got Pickerel Fritto.
And obviously there’s always a lil place for dessert so we got the Triple Layered Dark Chocolate Cake 🍰
I mean amazing food w amazing view, what more could you ask for?! 🥰
Hurry up if you haven’t yet😋
We were there on a sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Had never visited before. We had the double pepperoni pizza - great smoked provolone on this pizza. We had heard good reviews of this restaurant before today. Great views out the window onto the Red River. Beautiful patio area as well. Lots of great seating choices. The staff were friendly and attentive. We would definitely go there again.
Great experience! Lovely atmosphere. Tasty food! Wine was good.
