Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

This Kensington local favourite attracts fans from all over the capital who devoutly wish they had a Cibo - there's only one - in their street. The decor is cosy Mediterranean with truly unique artwork on the walls, with smaller rooms providing a sense of intimacy. The staff have that inimitable Italian welcome and capacity for fine service without a lot of fuss. Fish is a speciality of the house, so try pasta filled with crab in a special sauce to start, or the octopus, green bean and potato salad. Then go for the spaghetti with lobster in its own sauce, although the calves liver is delicious, too. Coffee with petits fours are on the don't miss list, too. Servings are huge and the pace is leisurely.

It’s a lovely place with decent Italian dishes. My only concern is the wine service - Please don’t bring an open bottle to the table, always open it in front of the customers. Also the prawns didn’t taste like very fresh tbh but otherwise it is a good restaurant.

The experience was excellent! The staff was lovely and patient with us, as we took forever to get to the menu (talking too much with family from the States visiting, haven't seen them in years). The food and service were excellent!! The staff was so helpful with my Mother as she couldn't decide what she wanted and they explained the options to her. We had a wonderful time!! The only thing we could complain about was the stairs to the restroom, those who used it were scared of falling. I will be going again, maybe with more able-bodied people....LOL Thank you for the most wonderful experience!

Excellent. It has become more difficult to have authentic Italian food in London which innovates without damage to taste 😅 Cibo is good

Great to return to Cibo after several years. The delicious food and friendly understated service remains unchanged and I can highly recommend it as a superb neighbourhood restaurant.
