Cibo Restaurant in Midlothian

One of very few truly family friendly places. Tasty food too!

Over stressed staff as place was under staffed and overly busy. Food came to table after an hours wait wrong. Rude customers complaining all over restaurant. Never stayed for dessert as didn't want to wait another hour. Won't be back

We had a great time at Cibo! It was our first time to dine here and were not disappointed at all. Super friendly staff (especially Haytam and Erika), relaxing vibe, amazing food. My friends and I had a great time. We started with a bottle of red, a Margherita pizza & the slow pork belly(which is absolutely amazing). Then we had calamari and arancini. After that we shared a carbonara, a seafood risotto and mussels to end the night of great food. All food were absolutely tasty and of good portion. We will definitely come back again very soon.

This is a great place to lunch! I have not been in the evening, but because of the decor, I would imagine it could be very intimate, as well as a place for a large family celebration. There is a set lunch menu (set price) with lots of choice or a main menu to choose from.

Gorgeous restaurant and amazing quality food! The staff are very kind and accommodating, will definitely be back!

As always food amazing staff superb a must to visit 😋

Enjoyed a family meal between christmas and New year. We had main courses and deserts and all were delicious. My partner says it's the tastiest pizza he's had in years. I had seafood stuffed pasta - it was delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Such a shame we had a terrible time waiting over 2 horse for out meals and to have 5 wrong dishes brought out to us as the food was actually nice.

Lovely place. Excellent service and Food.

Brilliant place, generous portions. Helpful and happy staff

The food was excellent as was the service b

We had travelled through from Ayrshire to this area for the day and popped in for lunch . What a lovely place very welcoming and the prices very reasonable for the good quality of food being served. This gave me good vibes and set us up for the rest of the day full marks from me and my fellow travellers keep up the good work

First time here and everything was great. The food was delicious and my favorite was the pizza and strawberry ice cream and the restaurant is designed in a very luxurious style. I really like it.

Excellent food and exceptional service! Very friendly and professional! Thank you 🙏!

Wonderful food made to family recipes. Friendly service makes you feel right at home.

Food is good and service is good too.

Best Italian restaurant around Edinburgh!

Lovely food and very good service, couldn't fault them and will definitely be back.

Excellent food and friendly, cheerful staff as always. Cibo's never disappoints!

The lunch menu is very good and priced reasonably. Food is generally very good. The staffs are also very friendly and responsive. I am particularly impressed by the tiramisu that comes with the set lunch menu. The portion is generous and it tastes great. The starter deep fried rice balls are also very good. However, the sea bass main dish is only okay. I would definitely come back and I am happy to recommend this restaurant. 👍🏼

Lovely hidden gem. Great food and service! Highly recommend if you enjoy authentic Italian food.

Very good food and super friendly waiter.

Very beautiful interior, impeccable cleanliness. Very pleasant staff, nice menu of Italian specialties, but also fish.

Great food, really attentive and friendly staff. No complaints :)

Super nice restaurant, service and experience! Enjoyed it twice during a lunch and dinner in 2days. Thank you!!!

Always good to return to Cibo. We will be back.

Food was not bad but nothing special. Really disappointed to be presented with a bill that included stuff we've never ordered. Once challenged the waitress checked the receipt and came back in a few minutes with the correct one. No apologies offered nor any explanation. Check your receipts before you pay!!

Lovely airy and welcoming ,food was delicious but ate too much,will be back.😃

Great Italian restaurant. We really enjoyed the afternoon in Cibo. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was outstanding and we really liked it. We will be back.

Always a great experience here, the staff are always so friendly and helpful.

Great food and staff. Definitely going again.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Was very quiet but we were in at 5pm

Absolutely fantastic food, quick service and friendly staff would highly recommend 👌

Gorgeous lunch with plenty to choose from

Stuck by toilets Family came a distance from South of England We had booked well in advance Food ?? Had a lot better

I’m quite perplexed by the high ratings this Italian restaurant has received. It makes me wonder if we experienced an off night when the chefs weren’t at their best. A group of 5 visited on what seemed to be a fairly steady weekend night. The restaurant wasn’t overly full or rushed off its feet. The food was fine, but that’s about the most I can say. The pasta dishes were hit and miss. The Bolognese was overloaded with pancetta, making it very salty and destroying any flavour the rest of the dish had. On the other hand, the porcini pasta was really nice. However, the inconsistency between these dishes and the other few ordered was disappointing. Honestly, I’ve had far nicer and more consistent meals at Tony Macaroni’s, so I can’t see why I would choose to return here. The restaurant itself was fine, with good parking. The interior has a nice front, but as you go further in, the paint and furniture appear tired and worn. I appreciate the costs of running a business, but given the high prices for what you get, this restaurant would only receive an average rating in my mind. I can’t find any compelling reason to return. My advice to owner would be to drop costs by 20%, modernise restaurant and/or return to the drawing board to create something truly worth visiting for as I don't think feel there's any pride or passion to what is being served now.

Really enjoyed the food. Will have to go back and try the huge pizzas. Unfortunately the restaurant was mostly empty which kills the atmosphere somewhat. Service was attentive and friendly.

Went on Saturday for a meal. Didn't Book. walked in and made to feel unwelcome. sat down and waited 10 minute to be asked for a drink. Staff seemed disinterested. Walked out. has this place changed hands as the staff were completely different and not a patch on the last group who were amazing,

This is a favourite place for a meal. Free parking, friendly service and really tasty food.

Very welcoming staff and atmosphere. Delicious food. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Lovely meal, as always and great kids menu.

Cibo is one of my favourite restaurants, the food is always good and the staff are always helpful and friendly!

So lucky to have this restaurant so close to home, we will definitely be back!

Lovely atmosphere, tasty food and amazing staff. Absolutely faultless

Firstly I was given a meat calzone when I ordered the vegetarian one, I only realised once I had my first mouthful. These things can happen so no worries, however the laughter of the waiter didn't help. Then, the vegetarian one that arrived was clearly made with the vegetables that they had left over from their over ordering at Christmas. It was full of carrot, sprouts and swede, not one vegetable that is usual in a Calzone. I was charged for this even though it was inedible. The staff didn't care. Please avoid this place, there are many brilliant restaurants in and around our area.

Shut your eyes as u eat.can u hear that lapping water and the warmth of the sun?

We went to Cibo Restaurant to celebrate a birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it

Always a warm and welcoming vibe in here.

Loved this place! Had the ravioli which was perfect 👌🏼 . My husband had the pollo Milanese and I had to steal more than a few bites 😋

Delicious, highly recommended for lunch or dinner. Service excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Dishes very tasty and professionally delivered.

This is and has been my all time favourite restaurant for while now, staff are fabby, food is always beautiful 😍 First time I've taken my 3 year old daughter she loved the food and the staff were amazing with her..! Thank you for a lovely birthday lunch x

Heerlijk echt Italiaans eten en fijne bediening.

Went here tonight for my father’s 70th birthday, there was 11 of us. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. The staff are so lovely and attentive. It’s such a gem of a place that is a little out the way but absolutely worth it. Thank you!

Very pleasant service, excellent coffee and wonderful dessert.

Aubergine parmigiana Mushroom and chili pizza... Coppa Amarina. So so good . Service amazing as always . Thank you

Great food and wonderful staff. Must visit.

Brilliant food, outstanding service.

Love this restaurant. Food is delicious and staff are great.

One of the best. Great service, very flexible in accommodating our dietary restrictions and amazing food. I enjoyed the seafood spaghetti

Staff are very friendly, food is excellent 👌 restaurant is very clean . This is a worthwhile stop for the best of food .

We visited here on a Saturday early evening without a reservation. A very impromptu stop. We were really impressed with the setting, staff and food. I enjoyed the tagliatelle del casa. Highly recommended and will visit again.

Beautiful food and brilliant staff

Food was excellent and atmosphere was great.

I ordered a vegetarian Calzone that came a little bit late, however the service was aware of it and apologized in advance. The food was quite good, the place really nice and the service is always making sure you are comfortable and looked after.

Delicious food, as always. Staff are friendly and always happy to go the extra mile. You can even order ahead and collect the order to take away.

It's nice place to enjoy lunch.

Amazing food with friendly service- never disappoints!

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and yummy yummy food!!

We got the warmest welcome & the nicest service I've had in such a long time. It was so refreshing. The waiters were very accommodating, the food was delicious- I had scallops & banoffe pie, my daughter had linguine pescatore & chocolate brownie. Safe to say we will return & happily recommend to others!!

As always a pleasurable experience

This place is great for gluten free. The service is superb and the food is really good supported with a great price. Gluten Free Pasta, Pizzas and deserts are available all of which were probably the best gluten free alternatives we have come across yet.

Lovely Italian food served here at a reasonable price. Always a good, friendly atmosphere. Not rushed. Lovely to see people celebrating as well. Highly recommend.

Great food, lovely place to eat and service

Lovely 😍 restaurant, wonderful service really friendly staff and the food was delicious

High-quality Italian food and service just outside Edinburgh and good value for money. A lovely surprise in the vicinity of an isolated AirBnB!

Great atmosphere and service. Sadly, my steak with peppercorn sauce was unedible. Way too salty!

God mat, vi var 21 stk som kom inn og bestilte mat. Maten blei levert ganske raskt og alle fikk det samtidig. Anbefales!!!

All round excellence, great food, large helpings all that need and service was excellent.

Lovely meal, authentic Italian and the starter of focaccia in particular was the size of a pizza!

Have been here on a couple of occasions now and we absolutely love the food and service we get here. The owner is really friendly and welcoming too. Definitely give it a try!

The service was excellent and the food fantastic, shame it was early on a Sunday evening, the place was nearly empty. I cannot believe that those who live in the vicinity of this restaurant do not frequent it, a little secret but one which should be broadcast far and wide, because this has the potential to be one of the best restaurants I have been in for a very long time. With a good crowd in it would be extraordinary and such good value as well.

Food excellent, service very good,and very friendly. Reccomend

Food is excellent , never been disappointed. Staff is really helpful and attentive.

Great place. I can only wish that I discovered it earlier. Excellent atmosphere and hospitality.

Great food! Perfect place for the whole family!!

Always great pizza and service 😊

Always amazing food and service! We've had the carbonara, margherita pizza, lamb chops, steak, porcini pasta and everything has been fabulous! The peppercorn sauce is loaded with whole peppercorns in every colour, a bit too peppery for me.

Great food, good service. Had last minute availability.

Second visit: very good value, attentive staff & pleasant decor.

A wee gem, just off the Gowkley Moss roundabout. Great food, lovely restaurant and great service. Really enjoyed this with the kids. Was a bit empty because was early on a Tue evening hence atmosphere but will be back!

Very nice restaurant the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and also accomodate us when we change reservation

Ordered a lasagne which was like a child's portion and was lukewarm at best. Waited 35 mins for food to arrive. Very disappointing experience and won't be going back.

Nice restaurant. Staffs are friendly.

Loved this place. Good parking outside and a warm welcome on arrival. Nice atmosphere. Food came in a timely manner and was freshly cooked and full of flavour. One small gripe is I thought the mains portions could be larger but others at my table thought they were a good size. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff. Good filling food

Welcoming atmosphere. Well laid out and spacious. Very friendly service and good food.

Really friendly, pleasant atmosphere and good Italian food. Lunch time 3 course special or excellent a la carte.

Were passing through and dropped in for lunch. Decor spacious and roomy Staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. Took the 2 Course lunch menu. 3 courses would be too much for us. Food was very good and flavours were great. Coffee was good too. Will visit again

Good food but slightly overpriced Whilst I appreciate it was a.busy Saturday evening there was a long wait between courses

Excellent food very helpful staff no rush to eat up you can relax and enjoy the food and drink.att your own leisure.
