Cibo - Cardiff

Visited Cibo last year for lunch and while there was space at the restaurant, we were denied a table as my son was too young for a highchair and they apparently had no room for our pram (even with several empty tables). Shame as I 've eaten at Cibo in the past and the food is generally good, but they clearly don 't want my business any more.

This was a great, family-run restaurant but the owner has retired and the place has been gutted by builders. It will re-open, under new management, as a bistro.

Had a lovely meal here with our lad. We all had different pasta dishes and they were fantastic washed down with cider and house wine. Just right for us.

We wandered down, close to home so we've been before but... tonight we found the rear garden! What a gem. The food is always good,staff lovely, but we have never really fancied sitting out front in the evening. The rear garden is a total delight intimate, private and very comfortable ... highly recommended, though part of me would like to stay quiet. The thought of not getting a table is rather upsetting!

My first visit to Cibo. Lovely looking place, cute garden area out the back for dining if you are lucky or reserve, but for the price the food is distinctly average. I had a pizza, my partner had a pasta dish. Both were a bit dull to be honest, lacking the sparkle you might expect for approaching £12 per plate. What really rankled on paying our bill, was spotting bowls of parmesan 'hidden ' behind the counter. It might have improved our meals slightly and is a usual ritual in any Italian diner, but we weren 't offered any. The waitress actually admittedthey don 't offer it, but only provide if the customer asks. we are only a small business I quote. This is really mean-spirited I think. No restaurant would last 5 minutes in Italy with such an attitude to its customers
