Cibo Hale in Trafford

Absolutely awful food. Incredibly disappointing and will not be going back. This is a shame as we have been going for years and have seen a gradual decline in the food that is served.

Me and my boyfriend visited for valentine’s day,obviously very busy and i understand why the food wasn’t up to standards. The food is somewhat traditional,the arancini were unfortunately not,and tasted awful.Im glad to say the steak and ravioli were very good! Overall atmosphere was just nothing to complain about other than the fact it was busy but that’s nothing they could control.The staff handled things well,very polite and elegant. The prices are outrageous but then again,i didn’t pay.I wouldn’t visit again on a busy day like that but might have to give it a second go simply because of the atmosphere and lovely drinks.

Absolutley disgusting experience - myself and my wife were really looking forward to eating here , was not a lot menu to pick off the menu hence what we picked , eventually called one of the staff over to order which was fillet steak chicken in mushroom sauce chips mushroon sauce for the steak spinach in garlic broccoli The food turned up and all of it was COLD , we didnt want to cause a fuss as it was a rare night out , when we asked for the bill the member of staff asked how the meal was we told her it was cold , she shrugged her shoulders , said sorry and gave me my receipt total waste of money , we ended up going next door to the Frozen yogurt shop for desert WILL NOT BE EATING IN CIBO AGAIN AND WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND IT

This place is consistently good. The service and food is always of high standard. My wife and I took our Grandson this evening and enjoyed a terrific meal served by well trained and attentive staff. I had the seafood risotto and she had the fillet steak and both were spot on. There’s a reason this place is always busy!

My pizza was amazing and my partner had spaghetti bolognaise, that was yummy too. Service was very good as well. Just restaurant was a bit cold, next time we seat not by the window

We had a lovely dinner at Cibo! The food was very delicious, and we enjoyed a great evening with friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even helping us change tables to make things easier with the baby. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful dining experience. Thank you, Cibo!

Decided to give Cibo a try with some friends. It's expensive which is to be expected. Overall I found the food to be ok given the prices it was nothing out of the ordinary. I had a Scallops starter, Halibut main and a Pistachio cheesecake for dessert. The dessert was probably the highlight for me. The service was generally good, aside from one of the staff serving drinks who didn't seem very happy. A 12.5% service charge was added to the bill. The surroundings were interesting. We were sat at a table next to what resembled an outdoor garden/greenhouse. At the end of the meal, I found a little surprise on my jeans. A live snail 😳

Disinterested staff and food served had no resemblance to menu description . Had had my dish previously in Wilmslow which was as menu. Had 4 potato crisps placed on top !!!! It was a joke!!!!!

T-bone steak and lamb chops absolutely delicious

Nice place and have been many times but getting a bit 'samey' Additions to menu would be good.

Went here with my friend on Monday to celebrate her birthday. The following day I woke up and threw up first thing in the morning. I had food poisoning for 2 days. Was a horrible experience. Staff was slow in taking order and giving the correct items ordered. Had to ask for our drink we ordered two times. The garlic bread pizza was too oily. Would not recommend. Totally overrated and overhyped. Just another instagrammable spot.

Very disappointing Christmas dinner. Cold pigs in blankets, turkey as tough as leather and uninspiring vegetables (actually served before main meal). Will definitely avoid in future

The cream-based Chicken mushroom pasta is a 10/10. Unfortunately they removed it off the menu, but they’re kind enough to make it on request. Best Italian in Cheshire.

We attended on a Sunday evening during the festive period for drinks. We could not fault the drinks however on attendance we were “greeted” by someone who was very blunt and rude regarding asking for just drinks and heard another wait staff say “they can just sit at the bar.” At this time the restaurant was very quiet and many tables were free. Following this the waiter (Nico) who served us was very rude when we asked for suggestions for drinks he scoffed at us. I would not attend here if you don’t want to be judged by staff, ultimately we wanted a nice evening and felt we were out of place and did not fit the mould they want to try to achieve.

This is the 2nd time visiting Cibo in Hale. The service from entrance to departure has always been exceptional. You are made to feel very welcome and everyone is invested in your experience with them. The atmosphere and layout is very comforting and I really want to be wowed by the food but it just falls in to the average category and the price then leaves a slight bitter feeling when paying the bill. When considering this review I would add that I feel I have quite a high standard when it comes to food and if youndint share the same standards then you may absolutely love the food here, just like some of our friends do.

Shocking food here at hale how can you serve cold ribs as a starter and even get the garlic bread order wrong ! I ordered Halibut which was cooked on the side never had fish with soggy skin before this chef clearly is amateur ! Or chef on day off . regardless this Resturant is poor 👎🏼 wasn’t even busy at the time when we dined at 3,30 pm no excuses with just poor service, a kitchen with no experience and a Christmas afternoon spoilt 👎🏼

Fantastic, delicious, the atmosphere is wonderful, the food and service exquisite, I will definitely return. I loved the starter with the different hams and cheese, among others. The seafood risotto is a gem. Thank you very much for such a beautiful restaurant.

Lovely evening. Chilled atmosphere and delicious food enjoyed with friends.

It was my first time to experience food as this restaurant . My friend and I didn’t book a table but the staff kindly offered a table after 10 minutes waiting by the window which was nice place to sit. The staff were very friendly . The food was good but not as good as you expected in that price . They brought the food without any side design and or any nice garnishes it was a small piece of steak with 2 slices of Tomato . The serving was completely disappointed . We should pay for chips and stake sauce as well . We had one bottle of Rose . It wasn’t a good experience for having nice steak in a nice restaurant in a good price . I am not recommending this restaurant as we could have same steak in a better quality with nice design and chips and sauce with cheaper prices.£120 for 2 people for nothing special.

Cibo is one of the best restaurants in south Manchester, the meals are always excellent, service is superb and atmosphere is vibrant. It’s not a cheap night out but always memorable.

I experienced a troubling incident that highlights the issue of racial profiling. My pregnant wife and I arrived at our favorite garlic bread spot at 10:00 PM, only to be told by the manager that they were closed (Closing time 11pm). When I inquired about the possibility of placing a takeout order, I was informed that there was no one available to cook. Disappointed, we left, but I decided to call from our car to check again. To my surprise, they were willing to take our order over the phone. As regular customers from Bowdon, this experience was disheartening, and I doubt we will return.

As always delicious food with great service and surroundings

My wife, son and I had a fabulous time at Cibo. The staff were very accommodating to us and my son’s picky appetite on the day.

Comfortable restaurant with style, but the food is not very good. It all felt a bit rushed and sadly we will not be returning.

Very, very noisy. If you want to have a chat while having a meal, forget this place.

Absolutely perfect evening. Food fantastic, wine fantastic, ambiance great. Pity one set of parents could not control two teenagers and the management had to step in more than once. Blame the parents for this, not the restaurant of the kids.

Sunday lunch was very expensive, poor inexperienced service, not a smile or welcome. The food was as ordered but cold. Drinks were £9 for a glass of merlot.

My family and I had an unforgettable dining experience at Cibo. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. I ordered a delightful white pasta dish with chicken and mushrooms, absolutely delicious! My wife enjoyed a mouth-watering pistachio-crusted steak, covered in the most beautiful sauce, and our daughter loved her thin, authentic Italian Margherita pizza, which was bursting with flavour. To make our evening even more special, the staff surprised us with a chocolate fondant cake, complete with a candle, to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was such a thoughtful touch and truly made the night unforgettable. The food, the impeccable customer service, the cosy atmosphere, and even the parking, it was all spot on! From start to finish, our dining experience was memorable, and I’m so glad we chose Cibo to celebrate. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for making this evening one to remember

My recent visit to Cibo was nothing short of disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the experience was tainted by rude and inattentive service. We were initially seated near the window, but since it was quite cold, I politely asked if we could move upstairs. The waiter’s response was shockingly abrupt: “Once you go up, we can’t go back down again.” The tone felt unnecessary and rude, as if asking for a simple accommodation was a hassle. Things only got worse once we sat down. The same waiter immediately came over and, without any prompt, took the glasses of wine off the table, saying, “I assume you won’t be drinking so I’ll take these away.” It was such a presumptuous and dismissive move, and it set the tone for the rest of the night. There was no care or attentiveness from the staff, and it felt like they couldn’t be bothered to offer decent service. To top it off, after the mediocre meal, we had to wait ages just to get the bill. Despite trying to get their attention multiple times, the waiters seemed uninterested, as though they’d already checked out for the night. Overall, the experience at Cibo was ruined by poor service and rude staff who clearly didn’t care about customer comfort or satisfaction. I assume the waiter who made those rude comments was the manager as he was wearing a suite. I wouldn’t recommend it and won’t be returning.

Nice vibrant place, with lots going on. Food very nice. One problem, if you don't smoke but sit near the windows, the people outside smoke and their smoke wafts in through the restaurant, which is not great. But the cocktails make up for the cigarette smoke 🤯

FABULOUS FOOD AND EXCELLENT SERVICE AGAIN … AS ALWAYS SO LOVELY SITTING ON THE BALCONY TOO we will be back soon, thank you

Came for a family meal. Food was delicious as always but the service lacked this evening from one waiter in particular. The level of smarm was not needed. No matter our class, we are paying customers. We booked a window terrace seat upstairs and didn’t get one. When one became free we asked if we could possibly move to one, before we ordered. We were told no not only because we were a party of four and the tables are for parties of 6 but they were too busy. This was not correct. Two of the said tables were occupied by parties of 4.. and so was the third one. The same waiter even spoke to my mother like she was stupid over her meal. She ordered a medium steak which wasn’t medium and was actually given a fillet of boot leather it was that tough. He offered her a steak knife instead of taking it away. After much persistence on our end he informed the manager who was actually lovely and accommodating. Usually excellent but was let down by that waiter.

Excellent food and service, we had a great evening

A delightful kerb side restaurant, fairly modern but with an Italian atmosphere. Good food and excellent service.

My daughters birthday , would normally go to Wilmslow which is a fabulous place I anticipated that Hale would be the same . When arrived a lovely lady greeted us and was friendly . We were rushed the Minuit my fork was down someone there taking my plate , food was awful the salmon was swimming in oil and the chicken burnt . The waitress on the bar upstairs was so rude as was the assistant lady manager so arrogant . The male manager not the young man who smiled was rude not once smiling or welcoming in fact was quite intimidating . Not once did they engage in her birthday where Wilmslow would of . Awful place and won’t be ever going again .

I wouldn’t try again!!! We celebrated our 10th anniversary at Cibo mainly to experience the atmosphere which was really nice but unfortunately I can’t say the same for the food. The drinks were OK but not WOW. We were so disappointed. Also be aware that you will be paying 12.5% service charge on your bill.

The restaurant is very large and is spread over three floors. This, combined with the rather surly and snooty staff leads to a rather impersonal and uncomfortable experience. Open arrival, our party of 6 was shown to a table for 5 but the waiter did not stick around long enough to realise the error, leaving us standing in the restaurant trying to attract the attention of another member of staff to ask for a table for 6. The food was of average quality and the waiter missed a main course order from one of our party, a drink order from another and the water we ordered for the table. At the end of the rather disappointing evening, it took around 30 minutes from asking for the bill to being able to pay. To add insult to injury, a 12.5% service charge was added to the bill.

Excellent meal and service as normal

Lovely buzzy atmosphere great service, and friendly helpful staff. Food was very good and we had a delightful Sunday lunch. I liked the fact that all the front windows opened as it was a beautiful sunny day, it was lovely and cool inside. We will definitely return.

The ambience in this restaurant is always lovely! Our meal was ok.. I ordered the ribeye steak medium rare, the first one that arrived on my plate was well-done ( no pink) , the second was blue ( raw) , third time lucky was really tasty but by that time my other two companions had nearly finished their dinner. Service was good , wine was expensive tho for the quality. No adjustment made to the bill for the steak issue which I felt they should have done.

I recently dined at Cibo in Altrincham and had a fantastic experience. The steak was exceptional—perfectly cooked and deliciously tender, and it's great to know that it's halal. The manager was particularly impressive, always pleasant and welcoming, which added a personal touch to the evening. Highly recommend this spot for both the quality of food and excellent service.

We have visited the wilmslow and Manchester Cibo and they both top Hale a million times over, the staff are rude the food was average and they got our order wrong won’t be returning

No words! Superb experience 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Cibo is a beautiful designed restaurant. Lots of attention to detail. However, they do not write any orders down, so lots of errors for drinks and food. I had pate to start which was £15. It was OK. Everyone else's was apparently fantastic, but again a little expensive. Unfortunately, I orders the fillet steak at £33, and they cooked it wrongly, twice, so everyone else had eaten their meal, and I still hadn't eaten anything. I just couldn't risk and 3rd time, and be the only one eating. Everyone else said their dishes were lovely. In their defence, once we managed to speak to the manager, he made it right. Not sure I'd go back. The numerous, silly mistakes, should not have happened.

Saturday evening- we loved the service we received tonight from staff! Me and my partner ordered bruschetta and deep fried squid which were both basic starters but still lovely! For mains I got the lobster ravioli which was delicious and my partner got rib-eye steak which was cooked to perfection! The service is what makes the experience even better. We spoke to quite a few staff and they were all lovely especially the lady on the door with dark hair and the bartender was our favourite (not sure of his name but had dreadlocks I believe. He was super friendly and described all the gins (my fave) to us. He also gave us a complimentary shot at the end of our meal which we hugely appreciated:) Only downside I guess is the service charge which was £13. We do like to tip but prefer to do it ourselves. And parking is a nightmare, but we loved our date night here tonight.

We frequently visit this restaurant as its one of the few places where you get what you pay for. Service and food are consistently good. The food is absolutely delicious and the cocktails are superb.

My daughter loved Cibo Hale restaurant when she went with her friends.

Most amazing T bone steak, cooked to perfection, love the decor and the serving staff are attentive and really friendly, thanks for a lovely evening 😀

Beautiful food, Beautiful atmosphere & great service throughout, Shoutout to erika who made us feel Special from start to finish.

I went to lunch with my son and we weren't disappointed, everything was to perfection, the service was great, the waitress went through the menu with and made some recommendations. The food was delicious.

The food was absolutely amazing and tasted wonderful. The table next to us was quite lively (group of golfers), however there language did not suit the restaurant, the staff never said anything to them...... we felt the staff were not happy in their jobs and were much, much too pompous throughout our visit, for this day and age. Such a shame

Fabulous place and lovely food.. staff not happy and very stuck up. Service was miserable and no effort from staff, to see if you were OK and DID NOT deserve the service charge that day.... so sad as food was amazing

As a local, Cibo is my favourite restaurant I usually brings my friends here …. Great atmosphere, beautiful decor ( I still not yet to sit on their beautiful terrace) and amazing food. My most recent visit they got new squid ink pasta with lobster and seafood. The taste is so good I would not hesitate to recommend it to everyone.

Roof terrace, sunshine, great food excellent service. Cibo does it so well!

Staff were superb and more than accommodating - Food was spot on

We celebrated my wife’s birthday at Cibo, and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect, can’t wait to go back.

It's alright. The sort of place where customers are a mix of chavs and classy people. Food is absolutely average. Very well decorated. The 2 italians walking up and down the stairs in blazers (making me assume that they are some sort of managers) were swearing all the time, assuming that no one would understand them (unlucky hey). Thankfully we were served by a young woman that was very polite. The bruschetta was totally burnt but regardless of that, it wasn't replaced or removed from the bill. With so many restaurants around, the only reason to visit this one would be the decoration, and if you are lucky to have a table with a view, the cars passing by.

Incredible restaurant, food was amazing the waiter and service was outstanding. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. Will definately go back.

Great first visit. Only thing we sat at a table where there was lots of movement and my head got hit twice by the waiters

Nice food, but won’t be going back. The service is poor if you are not prepared to spend a lot of money. We booked a table and arrived on time, but we were sent to the bar first. My wife told them we would order drinks at our table rather than at the bar. We decided not to order any wine, and went straight to the main courses without a starter as there was a lot of us but did order a cocktail and soft drinks! Unfortunately we found staff were frosty throughout, barely looking at us once we said we didn’t want wine or starters, and removing wine glasses in a bad tempered way. We didn’t want a dessert, and the waitress virtually threw the bill onto the table when I asked for it. They obviously expected a huge tip from a table of 7 people, but unfortunately for them we didn’t spend as much as they wanted us to!

Very busy but service and food was still great!

Food was poor ,meat was tough. Premium price for larger and it was flat . The only saving grace was the service was good . Raised with staff was offered a Lemoncello as a sorry instead of knocking off the price of the poor quality food and flat beer off the bill. Have had better food elsewhere.

Really good food and service was excellent

The food was not to a standard we have had before at other restaurants and it’s heavily over priced for what you get. I would not go for dinner again, maybe for a coffee n cake!

First time visiting and it definitely won’t be the last. Food was delicious, the service was great and our waiter was so lovely. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

The best thing about CIBO is the unique setting, especially the terrace. Food is descent and desserts are to die for. Expected a little more from staff, but that was just one occasion so maybe only that evening. We’ve been so many time and everyone came back with great memories. It’s mainly Italian food but has steak and salads too. Kids can easily eat there especially if they like pasta.

Booked online at 815pm for a 9pn table. The booking was accepted. Arrived round to hear they did not receive the booking and that the kitchen was closed.

Great food can't wait for the summer to be upstairs.

Disgusting toilets . Flooded and then to add insult to injury on Mothering Sunday or any Sunday no toilet roll. Never ever

Quick review: A high end restaurant with unique Italian dishes and even more unique setting. Though service charge and slower service during busy times can be off putting the food, quality and views are worth a visit. Pros: amazing location with massive glass conservatory on both ground and 1st floors. Uniquely designed dishes and authentic flavours. We recommend the Sea Bass Linguine and Honey Semi-alfredo desert, as they were delicious but not heavy. TIP: Be careful with pasta dishes with butter sauce as the melted nature of them, can get on your clothes if not forked delicately. Cons: 1. if sat in the conservatory areas, the outdoor heaters might be turned off by the staff, at the request of other guests, so just be aware if you don't like to be cold. 2. We were not asked how our food was, which is usual at most restaurants, nor was timing good when asking for the bill, as it took a long time to get staff attention. Tip: come during a weekday for a nice quite experience and more attention by the staff. Overall I would recommend this restaurant for the food, setting and views.

Average at best Service was not good had to ask 3 times for water for the table staff seemed totally uninterested Would not return

We were a large table of around 25 but this did not affect the quality of service or the quality of the food which was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again.

Food was pretty good, albeit the liver was overcooked imho. Service, though was excellent.

Was really looking forward to our visit having heard good things, unfortunately, it was average at best! We all agreed, it was noisy, probably due to a design issue to be fair, and there was an open window near our table which affected the comfort of two members of the party. We should have mentioned it but didn't in fairness. Service was okay, but nothing special, asked for a spoon which took 5 minutes to arrive. We put this down to us not being regular customers and not members of the Hale clique. Quality of the food was average, nothing blew us away. The portions were small and didn't represent good value for money. We had a couple of gins, a couple of pints and two 0% beers, 4 starters , 4 mains and 4 coffees. with cheeky 12.5% service charge the bill was £210. Had we come away saying the meal was fantastic we wouldn't be moaning now, but it wasn't. We certainly won't return, there are two other quality Italian restaurants to pick from in Hale.

Beautiful evening from start to finish...Dominica is an amazing hostess. Greeting was lovely & warm. Delicious food. Everyone whom we came into contact with was delightful.

An absolutely lovely Restaurant, great Ambiance, excellent Service, helpful staff and above all, Delicious Authentic Fresh Food. The Place is popular with A-Class Footballers seen regularly. During my visit, Eric Ten Hag, Robin Van Persie and Ruud Van Nistelrooy were also sat at the restaurant.

We had a great meal and great service from Felix and Krishna . All very reasonable prices . All freshly made . Would certainly recommend. Park in Aldi car park.

This was our first visit to Cibo. We had decided we wanted to eat Italian and had noticed the restaurant on our last few visits to Hale village. The restaurant is stunning, the service excellent and the food outstanding! The scallop starter was divine and my wife’s chicken liver starter was rich and delicious. We were going to choose the lobster ravioli I but our waitress Sara suggested the special dish which was half a lobster and linguine. It was absolutely amazing! So delicious! Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert but we will definitely be back. All the staff were friendly, attentive and very accommodating.Excellent customer service that you don’t always get in restaurants these days. A special shout out to our waitress Sara who was helpful and lovely!

Beautifully seated and served 18 guests for a birthday lunch on the roof terrace. Service was excellent, quality of food and flavours were delicious, attention to detail was without fault. During booking and planning phase, dealt with Lorenzo and Francesca - both extremely friendly, welcoming and professional... all staff wonderful...

Great food Amazing decor and staff However Arrogance woman and young child sat behind us watching films Full volume No headphones So we all got to listen to the kids movie and couldn’t hear each other Arrogant and very pretentious woman Ruined the night

Arrived on time for our booking. Shown to a garden table in the conservatory despite the restaurant being empty. Sat for 15 minutes, no menus and no drinks. We left shortly after. Would rather spend our money where it is appreciated.

Absolutely Awful experience!! Lobster Ravioli came out raw !! sent it back was nuked in the microwave!! was old not fresh!! one of the managers after we sent the food back said ' Are they done yet or what'! service charge was added , asked to remove it and was angrily asked was the service not good so all other diners could hear .. unacceptable response will not recommend or be back every again saving grace was the lady who took payment couldn't apologise enough as all the other suits had disappeared

We booked here for a birthday celebration. It was a fine dinning restaurant. Pasta, risotto and dessert - chocolate fondant and tiramisu were tasty. The male staffs provided good service except the 2 females who should have been sacked. We made a reservation and stated clearly that it was table for 4. To ease the access issue, we mentioned a pushchair with us. Upon arrival, the lady who stood at the entrance were weird and so apathetic to give us a table. In fact she did not reserve a table for us and oddly kept asking if we were 5 with another baby. Then she just randomly gave us a table by the entrance while the restaurant was completely empty. The waitress was also miserable - no smiling, not paying any attention. When my partner videoed the kids singing the bday song, the waitress kept passing another dessert to him and asked him to take it so she could finish her task. It was extremely awkward. Couldn't she wait for a moment or just leave the dessert elsewhere on the table??? We would rather visit the other one in Wilmslow next time. Expecting a better service in this kind of restaurant.

Welcome back to my series of serious and well documented reviews. Today I will be reviewing this ‘Italian’ restaurant, I’m not sure why we ended up here, we were supposed to still be in London, oh well…. Let’s get down to brass tacks. I ordered the Caesar salad, and the chicken was deeeceeeeent, an everyday I’m shuffling level of nourishment. However, I also ordered half a garlic bread with cheese. I was given a cheese cheesewhich instead. Not sure what happened here, manager was clueless. The main course was diavolo pizza. For some reason the pepperoni tasted of liquorice, as opposed to well, pepperoni. Good job I’m not allergic to liquorice, otherwise that would’ve been a honky bog scenario. 4 yums out of 10, not yum yum. I was not at all interested in desert, as when the aforementioned clueless manager came over, he just gave excuses about the food. However, his beard was a 20/10, but beards are not edible, so pretty useless to be honest To crevice, I would not rush back to this establishment, unless I needed beard advice. I am however a dog with below average IQ, so that will not be necessary. DONUT COME HERE, unless u want to be very upset inside?

Came as a party of 30 for an annual works night out. Flawless experience from start to finish. The restaurant decor is stunning, food was gorgeous with generous portion sizes, and the service was absolutely fantastic. Everything you’d expect from a top restaurant which this certainly is. Our company is also in the restaurant and bar industry so we would know, and it was even better for us knowing what goes into delivering that excellent experience. Big thanks to Dominique our server and the manager too I didn’t catch his name (Sunday 7th January evening time.) Have already recommended to family and friends I will be back soon. Thank you again!! PS Tiramisu is to die for!

Reminds me of when San Carlo in Manchester was good - great setting, food really good and typical top class service from an Italian run restaurant

Really poor experience. My wife and father were deciding between a white wine and a Rose. The waiter suggested a particular Rose which they said ok to. All be it being naive to accept the suggestion. The waiters suggestion turned out to be £12 per glass of which they had four. Obviously when the bill came it felt a bit like they’d be played. I’m sure a lot of people reading this review may think otherwise. Left a really bad taste in our mouths having been supportive of the chain up in the High Peak and in Hale. Will be taking our business elsewhere in the future.

A fantastic place, great atmosphere and always excellent service. The food is amazing and exquisitely presented. Every visit is a delight.

Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Perfect for Christmas Eve with the family. Thank you.

Great atmosphere here with a real vibrant buzz. We were a large table of 13 who had booked for a birthday early at 6pm. The service was not up to the standard of cibo in wilmslow. Waiting for drinks orders and I had finished my main before my wife's arrived to the table. Will stay at wilmslow next time. Service is what makes the difference between your cibo/san carlo/piccolino's. It wasn't the best this time.

We booked Christmas Day lunch at Cibo this year at 12pm for 8 people. On arrival we were seated to our table which was nice, we had a great table upstairs. When we got given the menus we noticed the children’s menu was different to the one which had been emailed to me when we had booked. The menu for the children was missing the turkey dinner. When our waitress returned to get our food order and drinks order at the same time, I asked where the children’s turkey dinner was? We were told this was now the menu and turkey wasn’t on it for the children. The options were pasta or pizza for their main course!!! I asked if we could order the turkey from the adult main and was told yes, but the children then couldn’t have the starter or dessert of the children’s menus and they had to stick to an adult menu. We then had to pay more for the adults menu for them. All for them not to eat their starter from it! After only being seated for five minutes, the waitress who was miserable and unhelpful told us we had to order our starter, mains and desserts now as well as drinks as we were under the 2 hour time slot. I was aware of the time slot but didn’t appreciate being reminded of it after only being seated for 5 minutes with still not drinks order taken! At the end of our meal we asked for the bill which took 20 minutes to arrive ( so much for rushing us at the start) We did pay the 12.5 percent service charge, as I do respect people who are working on Christmas Day. However did the waitress, staff deserve the service charge…. Definitely not! We are local to Hale Villiage and have been to the restaurant many times. Unfortunately we shall not be returning on Christmas Day or any other for that matter. Very disappointing.

Great food, atmosphere and service

Lovely place with absolutely delicious food!

Lovely meal for 5 on Tuesday this week. Decided to avoid Manchester city centre and picked Cibo in Hale and was so glad we did. Food was delicious, service was good, drinks a bit slow but it was easy to grab someones attention. Will definitely be returning as a preference to schleping into Manchester and paying over the odds for average food in "insta" worthy environments that are too busy (am I getting old :)). Have already shared my good reviews with friends who will be checking them out soon too, thank you for a lovely night.

Food was tasty. Service is excellent

What a wonderful experience eating in Cibo . Perhaps not my ideal cuisine but I was very pleasantly surprised with what I had . Decent food , a spectacular setting and brilliant service from the impressive Lorenzo . Start to finish was excellent . Thank you Cibo .

Lovely Italian restaurant with extensive wine and food menu. Delicious food.

Lovely restaurant, cocktails were superb! 🍻

Good portion size. Good service

Great ambience however very delayed service. Food is ok
