About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views

Take your tastebuds on a trip to the Mediterranean at Cibo Waterfront!

Inspired by our historic waterfront location, Cibo pairs a quality all-day menu with craft cocktails and upscale wines.

Menu highlights from our scratch kitchen include hand stretched pizzas, several unique takes on bruschetta, and an eclectic compilation of modern and classic Mediterranean cuisine.

Our chic, brick building lights up in the day time sunshine or provides a warm atmosphere in the evening, with unique and stunning views of Winnipeg’s iconic Red River and Esplanade Riel. A comfortable ambiance to celebrate life.

Great ambiance and excellent service. It was a Thursday evening, 8 pm and very busy. We had to wait for our reserved table, but we received complimentary drinks…à nice gesture. Food was excellent. We did not feel rushed!
