Cibo is an Italian restaurant in Portland, Oregon. [1] [2]
Cibo (pronounced chee-bo; Italian for food) [3] is an Italian restaurant in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood. [4] The 2,000-square-foot space has a bar, an open kitchen with an imported Ligurian pizza oven, [5] red leather booths, [6] and wrap-around windows. [7]
Erin DeJesus of Eater Portland said the restaurant was "designed around the concept of the cecina, a topped chickpea flatbread, and hand-pulled pizzas". [8] The menu has also included stromboli, charcuterie, baked fish, and Pax romana sausage with foccaccia, relish, and house mustard. [8] Other dishes have included bolognese, polenta lasagne, bacon-wrapped quail, and pan-seared trout with prosciutto and sage. [9]
Owner Marco Frattaroli confirmed plans to open Cibo in January 2012. [7] Originally slated to open in April, the restaurant's launch was pushed back to mid May, [5] then June 26, [10] [11] before finally debuting on July 3. [12]
Samantha Bakall ranked Cibo number 15 in The Oregonian 's 2017 list of "Portland's 27 best wood-fired pizzas", in which she described the restaurant as a " neighborhood favorite". [13] Zuri Anderson included Cibo in iHeart Media's 2021 overview of Portland's "highest-rated" pizza restaurants, based on Tripadvisor reviews. [14]
Alex Frane included Cibo in Eater Portland's 2022 list of "15 Stellar Italian Restaurants in Portland". He wrote, "the mistake could be made that Cibo is more of a pizzeria and bar than full Italian restaurant. But the small-but-solid pasta list and Italian wine menu elevate the restaurant to a more full-fledged Italian eatery, while still being a more casual, weeknight or special occasion kind of venture. Still, the thin, char-kissed wood-fired pizzas are the main draw, especially the signature margherita." [6]
