    Very good experience, waiter acknowledged my friends birthday that I noted in the reservation. He went above and beyond and got a small dessert with candle for my friend. My friend has never been to Cibo before and I have always loved Cibo, I used to visit the Yonge location all the time which I understand is sadly closed now, so first time at Yorkville and I will for sure be a regular. Thank you!

    Enjoyed a nice meal with my friend. More expensive than I expected but the food was delicious and beautiful. Great service too. Not too noisy as the place wasn’t full. But it is one of these anti-soft furnishings/tablecloths places that seems to be the norm nowadays. People- fabric absorbs sound!
