Cibo in Isle of Wight

Order starter and main. Starter arrived in normal time and was fine but we had been in the restaurant for over an hour and a half before the mains arrived. One was totally burnt to the extent that the chef must have known it was burnt. Meat was rock hard on top and veg were solid black! Clearly they didn't care. No one asked if ok and they appeared surprised when I declined to tip. Safe to say that I won't be returning.

What a great place! We stayed at Woodside Bay Holiday Park and San this Restaurant at the Street. Went there twice. For Breakfast and for Dinner and it was so great! Bath meals were so delicous and extraordinary. Staff was very kind. We will come back in our next holiday!

just happened to find this lovely cafe on our way home. The food is fantastic and the service is warm and friendly, very welcoming! there's even a car park at the back. we will be back again!

Eight of us were accommodated at short notice on an August Thursday evening. So glad they could fit us in. Super italian-themed food, nicely quirky surroundings and perfect waiting staff - not too intrusive but there just when needed. Highly recommended, and fair value for the quality of the food. Plenty of parking in the back, too.

Dropped by for drinks and a bite to eat before catching ferry back to Portsmouth. Really nice place and seemed very popular.

Nice little place. Food was great, staff was very helpfull and a great service.

Friendly, welcoming service. Food was excellent, very flavoursome. Thank you.

Fantastic! Food was wonderful.... Our 6 year old all but licked his plate. Great coffee too. Would highly recommend

Best breakfast anywhere on the isle of wight!

Everything about Cibo is perfect. Amazing food and service.

Had a beautiful brunch yesterday. Such a lovely little place, the service was quick and staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely excellent! One of the best brunches I’ve had! Can’t wait to come back for the evening menu and try the cocktails!

Love this place. Smoked Salmon Frittata was delicious! No pics this time.

Very nice treat from my daughter, a breakfast. Really tasty, service was really good, staff friendly

Cibo is hands down the best restaurant on the island. My partner & I have been visiting for years and whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner the food and service is always 10/10.

The food was excellent and the service very good. Our servers were very pleasant and helpful. Sat in the balcony section which I found was very noisy from the traffic. Would sit inside on any future visit. Would recommend.

Staying at The Lakeside hotel 5 min walk away and found this place on Google. Staff ever so helpful and attentive and the food simply fist class cannot recommend enough thanks guys 👌👌👌👍

We were looking for a quick breakfast before taking the ferry and we're positively surprised. I loved the selection of savoury pancake dishes (the Greek one is great) and my husband had the avocado on sourdough with smoked salmon and see poached eggs and absolutely loved it. I can highly recommend the place.

We stopped here at our trip for an early dinner. The staff was really friendly, the meal tasted very good and the prices were adequate. All in all a place I can highly recommend.

I had the rumpsteak with chimichurri and it was so good. The potatoes were roasted nicely, lightly salted and with a bit of pepper. The rocket and parmesan was a great addition to brighten up the flavors of the steak and chimichurri. Margaritas were perfect, not overwhelming in the lime or the salt and balanced out nicely with the tequila. It was a little too easy to drink!

Excellent service, fantastic staff and incredible menu 10/10

We've eaten 3-4 times at Cibo when we've come across on our yacht to overnight in isle of wight's Wootton Creek. The food is consistently good and the service is excellent. Doesn't look much from the outside, but inside is chilled and cosy. Pricing is great for the standard of cooking. Recommended

I love coming in the mornings, the breakfast is brilliant. I also recommend the bubble and squeak. Great staff, great choice of food, it can get busy in the evening so book in advance. Never had a bad meal here yet.

Love this place, always a friendly welcome, the food is always tasty, I had the prawn risotto and a side order of garlic bread, and a blue hawian mocktail, all fantastic. The service is always friendly and with a smile. I really can't recommend this place too much.

Delicious meal, great service and cosy atmosphere

Mommies birthday dinner was fabulous

Such a fantastic welcome and great atmosphere, we just stopped for coffee and cake but would definitely return to eat

Brillant meal, fantastic staff, very friendly and warm.

Give it a try. Has a car park. I went there on a recommendation. Munther served us and was charming and attentive.

The food is so so sooooo delicious! Best restaurant ever ate, this year

It's a lovely little bar. Lots of drinks. Very cosy lovely staff. Lovely atmosphere. Good drink prices food is lovely! Does lovely coffee take away?

1sr time visit and will definitely go back. The food was delicious and the pinot white wine was lovely. Great place to dine alone or with friends, lovely relaxed atmosphere.

A wonderful experience. Our server Lucy was very hospitable, we were visiting and didn't need to book a table as we were quite early to eat. To start we had King prawns and also chorizo brucetta. Thoroughly impressed with both starters. We had the chefs special of surf and turf steak with garlic butter, new potatoes and broccoli. The steak was cooked perfectly and the king prawns were fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back again.

Been to a few reataurants and this became my favorite last night. Excellent food and lovely girls attending our table. Stuffed full of exceptionally tasty food. Will be bringing friends in the very near future. Nothing whatsoever to fault.

Our most favourite restaurant on the island, excellent high quality food with the best service from amazing staff, thank you

Nothing to look at from the outside but inside is a different picture. 10 of us all family went for a Christmas meal.. staff were pleasant and very helpful. Food amazing especially the pork belly and sea food pasta .. highly recommend

What a gem of a restaurant. Small but a huge heart. Great food. Service was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We will return.

Had a lovely dinner here today, best Italian food I've had recently. Will definitely be back. Would highly recommend a visit to all.

I was pleasantly surprised I really enjoyed my vegan breakfast

Amazing evening with friends ☺️ and super hostile staff who made it fabulous and pleasant. One more appreciation for chefs who were in charge and were creating super delicious food.💖💗😻

Excellent food. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Food tasted oddly similar to coal, prosecco looked gelatinous and the water was rather thin. There is a good indoor football pitch though, and a helpful pidgeon-walking facility which I took my candle to. Candle facilities 10/10.

Love this cosy cafe. I occasionally come here for brunch with friends for a catch up. I like the cosy feel in this small but homely cafe. The food is great and the service is always great. People there are very friendly and it’s easy to add or remove things from a dish. We will definitely be returning!

Great food, great drinks, great staff. Have been so many times and always perfect. Which you can't say about many places.

amazing food, great service and a really beautiful building.

It was very nice but the food and the drinks was very nice but it was very expensive It was £80 for the 3 of us my mum and my husband and myself• and the doors when you come in the door is very hard to open and the toilet door was very hard to open and the it not disabled friendly because they are steps and they are steps inside too

Amazing, Went here for breakfast with 3 children under 3 ! Very accommodating and polite staff. Food was amazing. We had full English which has a slight Mediterranean twist. Would go again and try dinner if we lived here ! Maybe for our next visit…….

The shakshuka here is literally one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a cafe or restaurant, so delicious. Pleasant service and tasty coffee / drinks too.

We found Cibo on our travels around the Isle of Wight and decided to pay a visit. We are so glad we did. The food was amazing, everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and attentive. I can't praise it enough!

Can't fault a thing about this restaurant. From walking through the door where we were greeted with a smile and taken to our table, to paying the bill we were looked after perfectly. Add the quality of the food and you have a perfect experience. If I lived on the island I would be spending a lot more time here.

It's a very lovely little place 😊 Staff is friendly, understanding, and kind. The food tastes good and fresh. I've had the Crushed Avocado with 2 poached eggs and smoked salmon - and I can definitely recommend ❤️ Prices are fairly reasonable - you can expect a single dish to cost between £7-£12 on average, so with a beverage or two, be prepared to pay at least £20 per person (on average) It's right by the main road, though, which makes it a little noisy at times - however to us this didn't seem to be a major issue. Overall a 4/5 for me 🫶

We booked for breakfast and had a fantastic experience! The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I had Turkish eggs and my wife had Bubble and squeak, with some homemade beans and lots of coffee. All of the food was beautifully prepared and tasty. The coffee was a surprising treat- wasn’t expecting much on that in a restaurant. You must go if you’re close, it’s well priced and they’re exactly the sort of independent business who should be popular and supported!

Delicious food and children friendly too.

Great little gem of an eatery. Really enjoyed our dinner and cocktails. Highly recommend as long as you make sure there is a table left for us on our next visit to IoW.

Cibo is a true gem! The moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the fantastic decor that transported us straight to the Mediterranean coast. Our visit couldn't have been better timed – we stopped by before catching the ferry back to England. The staff at Cibo were absolute stars, especially during what could only be described as our baby's most *epic* meltdown. They handled the situation with grace and kindness, making us feel at ease and even managing to put a smile on our faces. The level of customer service was truly exceptional. The customers were very kind too, offering kind words and empathy. Not only was the atmosphere delightful, but the food was also a culinary delight. The Mediterranean flavors danced on our taste buds, and each dish was prepared with evident care and attention to detail. The menu boasted a wonderful variety, and we left with full and satisfied stomachs. Cibo exceeded our expectations in every way, providing a memorable and heartwarming experience. If you're looking for a Mediterranean escape on the IOW, complete with excellent food and a staff that goes above and beyond, Cibo is the place to be. We'll definitely be returning for another visit!

Delicious coffee and breakfast and friendly staff. Plenty of veggie options. Well worth coming if you get the chance. :)

Lovely food,staff and atmosphere,will definitely go back

Really, really good. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. Everyone in our party enjoyed their selection, from my fussy 60-somethint mum, to my equally fussy 10-year-old son. I had the absolute best pork belly. Crab and prawn starter was amazing, too. Quirky decor. Funky music. Generally great vibe. My wife grumbled that they were an Italian restaurant that didn't offer pizza, but she's dairy intolerant anyway, so her opinions on that subject don't count. I reasoned that, as they are a proper Italian restaurant, they wouldn't try to bodge a substandard pizza if they don't have a proper pizza oven, which is fine given the quality if of the rest of the menu. Whatever the reason, if you want a pizza, order a Domino's. If you want absolutely excellent Italian food, I'd happily recommend Cibo.

If you're after a flavoursome breakfast, reasonably priced with an excellent coffee and a lovely atmosphere, then I can't recommend Cibo more highly! They fitted us in for breakfast without booking a table, they had a good range of milk alternatives and the service was exceptional.

Very good food atmosphere and service

Absolutely excellent, so much choice for breakfast.

Very pleasant and helpful waitresses.

Went for a last minute brunch shortly before leaving the island and wish we went sooner!!! The classic OnePan Breakfast was oozing with flavour, homemade beans were amazing and the egg was cooked to perfection! Lovely staff, atmosphere and great quality food. Thankyou!

Lovely breakfast and is dog friendly! We will be coming back soon to try the dinner.

Veldig god og lett italiensk mat med ein eksotisk vri👌🏻

Have been recently for both brunch and dinner and the service is lovely and friendly. The menu has something for everyone no matter what what time you go to eat. The chefs have a great Mediterranean style to the cooking and put their own twist on the food. EG the traditional English breakfast has some twists like the homemade beans and the quality of all of the food I had was on point. Highly reccomend the teriyaki pork bites as a starter with a great Asian slaw they were a real highlight. The staff are all really friendly and attentive, drinks were really well made. Would 100% go back soon. Highly reccomend 👍

beautiful ~ pricey but it was a special occasion ~ well worth it 🎶🍸🌀🌷🌀

Only been here twice which is criminal as I live so near, but will make it a habit to go more often as it's so good. Small, but lovely menu, I had the whipped goats cheese starter followed by melt in the mouth pork belly. Both excellent. Service was great too, would advise booking to avoid disappointment. Will be back 🙂

I love how they're always happy to adapt for food preferences and intolerances. Coffee is great too!

Rely nice food and friendly service.

Only had a coffee but it was great.

Had a delicious breakfast. Really nice to have Something different , (full english is also an option )and the iced peach tea was really refreshing , made such a nice change from the usual boring cold drinks that are to sweet or fizzy. Will definitely return to try more of the breakfast options .

An absolute must whenever visiting the Island. Such a warm friendly & delightful restaurant! The staff are lovely & Joe especially...really hilarious! Visited at the weekend & the food was up to its usual amazing standard. A brilliant evening out!!

A hidden gem on the island. Great food and great service.

Simply couldn’t be bettered. Warm welcome, great food, great atmosphere, great staff. A real find.

My new favourite place on the island. London quality cocktails and stunning food. Will definitely be back!

Friendly service and tasty, good value food. We were staying at buttercup barn retreats nearby and Cibo was definitely worth the visit

Had a love meal here this evening with a friend. Service very good and staff extremely friendly. Great food and will be returning.

Wonderfully delicious everytime. Very very reasonable pricing with super friendly and professional staff. Cannot recommend enough. 😊

Second time we have been here, this time just the two of us and I must say once again extremely impressed. So much so we have book again for next weekend. What more can I say.

We had amazing food. The spicy tomato juice and risotto were wow !!

Absolutely delicious food,served promptly by delightful staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Will definitely return again soon!

Absolutely delicious food, great surrounding to relax in, friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely go back again and recommend to others.

We love it here, chicken risotto was amazing...love you guys.

Amazing food, highly recommended

Wow, lovely spot, don't be put off by the main road, there's parking behind too. Lovely service, feels like your on holiday. Great atmosphere and fab decor. We weren't very hungry so ordered a sandwich! Well we won't be needing any dinner it was amazing, taste sensation, served with sauté new potatoes and quirky slaw. Highly recommended. Xx

Booked for breakfast and so glad we did! Had the poached eggs on sourdough with rocket, parmesan and crispy parma ham. Eggs cooked perfectly! Lovely staff, atmosphere and great quality food. Will definitely be back for dinner at some point. Thanks!

Such a great experience. The food, the service, the portions, the decor and the price are all excellent. Would very much recommend the vegetarian antipasto, a solid 10/10, and the chicken risotto. Great for vegetarians. We will definitely be returning

The most delicious breakfast /brunch. Will definitely be back.

Food was very nice bit different lots of flavours. Good value and very good service definitely go again x

Great food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well.

Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Excellent food, friendly staff and great prices!

I had chicken with risotto and my wife had bubble and squeak. Both were full of flavour and filling. Service excellent, ambience perfect, prices very reasonable. I wish this place was close to where I live. I 100% recommend it.

Really enjoyed the experience. The waiter was very friendly. All 5 of us thought the food was good.

Always have great food here and leave feeling satisfied. Reasonably priced. Nice staff and atmosphere.

Lovely friendly staff Great food

Not the best afternoon tea for the price.

Great ambience (don't be put off by the Launderette nextdoor!). We only had coffees and shared a Nutella & ice cream waffle, but both were great. Other people's food looked awesome. Speedy and friendly service. We'll definitely be back

What a fantastic place. Lovely atmosphere, not too busy. Very professional staff. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Loved it so much had to go again before we went home.
