Cibo Brookfield

Leo runs a great restaurant with good service and great food. I will be going back again.

We 've been coming to Cibo since it opened but recently both the quality and the service has deteriorated. Last night, however was probably the final straw; I ordered the Frutte di Mare , which is one of the most expensive items in the menu. It contains, accord to the menu, clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari in a red sauce over linguine . The dish arrived and had a decent number of mussels and clams but just a few slivers of calamari and not a single shrimp, I called this to the waitresses attention and she took it back, only to return the same plate to me a few minutes later with the explanation that the chef would make up some shrimp and send it out. By the time a small plate of tasteless sautéed shrimp arrived the rest of my dish was cold. Unless I hear some good things about Cibo in the future we will certainly not be returning.

A great meal with great people. I was in town for a funeral, and I was told by my Airbnb host to head here for dinner. I was hesitant to go out due to me being a crying mess, which I proceeded to do at this restaurant. However, Leo and Sue, owners of the restaurant came up to me while I was crying to see if I was doing okay. They were kind when I needed it most. In addition to that, the food was amazing. I had the Caesar salad, the carbonara, and ended the cry fest with a tiramisu. There was also live music that was beautiful and made it an overall great experience, even under the worst scenario for me at the time. Kindness is hard to feel nowadays, but I felt all of the kindness here at Cibo.

I ordered takeout and was on my way to pick it up when I received a notification that my order had been canceled. I was already halfway to the restaurant, and there was no explanation given—nothing at all. Well, I decided to go to Pulchianella's for dinner instead, as Cibo has lost my trust and any future business.

"I have a suggestion for you: when I want to dine at a place with close friends, I make sure to do my research first. If I can't access the online menu or read reviews beforehand, I won't be willing to wait until 4 PM when you open. Many people may be indifferent about what they eat, but the quality of ingredients and daily consistency are crucial for a successful business. I recommend having your web developer look into improving this. Thank you!"
