Cibo Italiano

So good! I finally tried Cibo this past Friday (I have been meaning to for the longest time). I ordered the Beet and Apple salad, Stracchino, Arugula, Prosciutto Focaccia, and Ravioli. All three dishes were excellent. The tomato sauce was exceptional. Thank you Cibo!

Hidden gem alert! So surprised and impressed with the range of offerings that this shop offers and definitely the quality of the food. The freshly piped cannolis and homemade pappardelle (with Bolognese ragu with grass fed Niman Ranch ground beef and organic ground pork) the best texture and flavors...on par, if not better, than establishments I tried in New York City. I never liked cannolis (too hard, too thick, too sweet) but the light crisp shell and perfectly balanced sweetness of the filling of THIS cannoli blew my mind. The ambience is cosy and the owner Gisella shows her commitment to the highest standards by not only the food but by the way she greets customers herself and wipes down tables personally between parties. Looking forward to return (to try the Nutella bread pudding, carbonara, risotto, homemade ciabatta, seafood, and more cannolis!) and, most of all, to bring my family to enjoy a decent Italian dinner together in a warm, relaxed setting.

Want to feel like you have just been scammed and feel really dumb about it? Buy the $8 bruschetta. I dare you.

Nice little Italian gem in OC. Cozy authentic deli / restaurant with some hard-to-find genuine Italian food. Their "calabrese" (spicy salami) is in my opinion better than the one I buy in Italy (BTW: born and raised in Italy and I still go back for a couple of months every year). My regular shop includes: taralli (rosemary flavor), calabrese salami, spek prosciutto (a dry smoked prosciutto), and bologna/mortadella.

Edit for a current review: We visited Cibo again and the bread they gave us had mold and the food was cold. Not sure what happened but the quality has gone down and I can’t trust it anymore given that there was mold. ——— Previous review : This place is amazing. We ordered the farro salad with roasted vegetables, the focaccia with goat cheese and carmelized onions, gnocchi, and cannolis with a nutelinni (a coffee drink with Nutella). The food was so fresh and flavorful. Best Italian place ever. There are also items you can buy inside. Love everything about this place!

Been coming here for a long time multiple times weekly. Good stuff!

A hidden gem of delicious Italian food, reasonably priced, surprisingly diverse menu. Grass feed beef is a pleasant surprise. Support your local businesses.
