Cibo

We visited Cibo for a Sunday evening dinner, having come to Wilmslowe the evening before a business appointment the next morning. Despite having no reservation, we were warmly greeted and made to feel welcome straight away and invited to sit at a really nice corner spot by the main window. Service was lovely and friendly, the food was brilliant, authentic Italian dishes. I can highly recommend the spaghetti carbonara.

Firstly , the restaurant is very nice , busy and the staff are friendly and we will return. However , it's getting a little too expensive now , especially the wine prices and the 12.5% service charged automatically. The portion sizes were definitely smaller than our last visit - calamari £13 for 8 pieces and with the small dished prawn risotto having just THREE prawns for £18 !!! . The cheapest red wine was £30 , which again is pushing the boat out. Sweets are around £8 - again , way too much really. The thing that stood out was the automatic 12.5% service charge added to the bill. I don't agree with this feature at all and customers shouldn't be made to feel they have to pay this. Overall, we enjoyed the evening but perhaps will not rush back.
