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.

Love the variety of options, size of portions and the consistency of quality. Our excellent server did not have the listed CabSauv on hand, so I ordered an alternate. She had concerns over the alternate, so gave me a sample. Her concern was justified, so I went with the Malbec she recommended and had me sample. Excellent insight. The Beef and Beet salad was fantastic and the beef perfectly done to order. So large that it could have been a main. Off the charts. A new favourite. Pasta mains were tasty, well spices and pasta done beautifully al dente. Heck, we even had the delicious cheesecake desert. All made for a great evening. Well done Cibo.

Cibo just gets better and better every time we go. Last night was great. My hubby and I shared the bruschetta, the mussels, and the octopus. They were all so delicious. The pistachio cake was to die for. Our server, Zak, was great too. Very friendly/attentive and explained the specials to us too.
