Cibus Pizza in Manchester

Recently visited Cibus for my nephews birthday. From the moment we arrived, the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Service was first class, and the food was delicious. The donut starters are so moreish anyone visiting has to order these!!!!! Menu had a varied choice of dishes. Will definitely visit again, and I will be more adventurous with my food choice (as it was.a 4 year old birthday I had pizza as a main).

Visited Cibus for the first time tonight for ‘tea’ and a chat with an old friend. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere relaxed, the service amazing and the food excellent. All very fresh and obviously made to order. It very quickly became very busy and this is mid week so I guess booking is recommended. We will definitely be back.

We were visiting our son in Manchester and he booked us in at this restaurant. Table was already for us and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. They were happy to advise/recommend food. The doughnut starters were amazing and very moorish. I definitely recommend the Crab risotto it was so flavour some. This has to be one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Hopefully be back when we're next in the area. Book you will not be disappointed.

First time visiting and it was amazing! Really, really impressed! It’s quite a little gem! Great energy and service from staff. The food is amazing! One of the best pizza’s I’ve had! Highly recommend going. Good varied menu and it’s great for couples, friends and families. A mixed crowed. All 3 courses weee absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to go back!

Visited this place for the first time for lunch after reading all the great reviews - & can confirm they are all true! The food is gorgeous, really fresh & different. The service is outstanding, informative & friendly. Last but not least they serve Pecorino by the glass! What’s not to love. We’ll be joining their fan base!

Lovely evening celebrating our daughters, PHD graduation on Wed this week. Always a warm welcome, nothing too much trouble for Georgio and his team. Food is excellent (always) best in Levenshulme. Always special, thanks

Super experience. Attentive service, great food and good prices. This is not a big place so I would advise reserving in advance. 115 pounds for 3. Quite reasonable.

Gorgeous food and nice atmosphere. Staff all great and very attentive. We went on a Sunday and the roast was to die for! We also had the donuts for starter. I could of eaten these all day! Will definitely return to try the pizza next time! Thank you.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night, busy, bustling atmosphere with great service and even better food! We had a couple of small plates to start….the caponata and the arancini. Both dishes were delicious with the caponata having just the right balance of sweet and sour and every ingredient in the arancini filling being able to be tasted. My partner loved her home made ravioli which was perfectly al denté and served in a fresh tasting tomato pork ragu. I went for the stuffed porchetta roll, mash, prunes and red wine sauce….again everything was perfectly balanced and left me licking the sauce off the plate! My favourite UK Italian has always been Locanda Locatelli……Cibus is giving it a run for its money! We will be back……and soon!

Hidden gem Italian. Delicious food, lovely decor and atmosphere, excellent service and great value. Doing everything right! Thanks Cibus!

After visiting twice before last year we took some friends. We were a party of 9 at 8pm. Had to wait 30mins for our table to come free. Waiter service was shocking, had to ask several times for table water, where our was and extra glasses. Considering we booked a month in advance and it was a Saturday night, no specials left, not enough starters or dessert Really disappointing

Went this evening as a family. such a lovely vibe with friendly helpful staff. Amazing pizzas ,for adults and kids, and really impressed with gluten free base (hard to get right) so perfect if you are coeliac great discount on weds/Thurs early evening too! would thoroughly recommend

We have followed Cibus from its pop up days to its unfolding as a restaurant in its own right . This is a jewel in Levenshulme and would be the envy of any other south Manchester eateries . The Cibus experience is the whole deal , the staff are like family , welcoming and warm , which is a refreshing change from the push to order online with little interaction with staff . The food is fresh vibrant and tasty. We love the small plates and had a fantastic lazy sunny afternoon lunch, in the tasteful court yard at the back of the restaurant. Love , love love ❤️ Love, love love ❤️

We first visited cibus in its new home after a few years moved away from the area - it was a joy to see what was once a hidden gem above Fred’s sitting proud on the main road where it belonged, a chic trattoria amongst Levenshulme’s budding social scene. Expect to be greeted by waiters who are as attentive and charismatic as they are good looking, and if you are lucky you just might catch the main man Giorgio buzzing around serving and pouring, chatting to customers like old friends, that is - if he’s not in the kitchen cooking up the bountiful fare that fills his seasonal menu. This is a restaurant that exists because it has a passion for food like an eternal flame - food is seasonally fresh and inspired by the changing of the months but faithful to its Italian routes. Prepare to forget all you think you know about traditional Italian food and have your mind blown by the likes of whipped salt cod, smoky sweet caponata and ice cold creamy burrata, traditional Italian roast chicken or the plethora of stylish summer ready spritzes concocted to wet your appetite. Today in the summer sun, in their modest and tastefully decorated garden we could have convinced ourselves we were in Sicily in the restaurant you dream of stumbling upon while on holiday. The food and drink at Cibus is rivalled only by something you can’t get anywhere else - the people. Special thanks to Lou for always being a bright shining sunbeam - understanding our tastes and breathing Cibus’ passion for real honest cooking with her recommendations, and making us feel like family coming home each time we dine. It really is the highlight of our month when we can get away to sit down and eat here - don’t delay and believe the hype - we will be back again very soon.

A good friend recommended his local pizzeria so, naturally, I had to check it out. Cibus is very cosy; neither too big nor too small, with romantic lighting and calm, well-chosen decor. We were greeted with warmth and shown to a table very quickly, which is always a good thing (especially when you're hungry!) The well-presented menu had a welcome variety of food under different categories: small plates and treats alongside the usual pizza and pasta. Vegans aren’t left out, with at least two pasta dishes and many small plates to choose from. It’s a menu that seems authentically Italian - ‘trattoria’ vs hipster pizzeria. I ordered a Marinara (not on the menu) and shared the restaurant’s famous ‘salted donuts’; my friend ordered a pizza with bresaola. Chinotto on the side, refreshing as always! The donuts were the star of the show, covered in tangy marinara sauce and a flurry of crispy fried onions. Be warned, however - they’re very moreish!! Our pizzas were a reasonable size, more lunchtime than dinner - perfect for my tetchy end-of-week appetite. The sauce was fantastic - peppery olive oil with subtle herb notes. The garlic was a shade bitter, cutting through the umami hit of the tomatoes, but that’s usually the case! The dough was crisp, the star of the show, with a pillowy crust and an impressive presentation. My only (minor) criticism is that I’m not a fan of olives and didn’t know they’d be on this pizza - but ordering off-menu has its risks! To finish our meal, we shared sips of two spirits: Frangelico and another, sharp and bitter apertif. The Frangelico was sweet, nutty and creamy; the other … quite a powerful acquired taste!! Overall, this was an enjoyable meal. Pricey, I’ll admit, but the service, atmosphere and food quality were high enough to dismiss that... plus, it's always great to see a team as dedicated as this thriving in your community. Cibus is a place you could easily imagine yourself becoming a regular at! Whether you need a warm and convivial date venue or a place for good food and philosophical chat, Cibus is bound to go above and beyond to satisfy.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing, from the moment we arrived we received a warm welcome! Myself and my husband are vegetarian, and the choice for us was amazing! We had the best waitress ever I can’t remember her name, but she made our night! We...

Cibus is a really good restaurant and a cut above other pizza/Italian restaurants nearby. We visited a couple of weeks ago on the bank holiday Sunday and it was packed. My partner doesn’t like the Italian restaurants in the Heatons and so was expecting to...

We’ve eaten out many times for Sunday Roast, and Cibus is, without doubt, the very best. In terms of value for money and sheer enjoyment, it simply doesn’t come any better than this. A real gem in Levenshulme’s crown. Do yourselves a favour, book a...

The staff are so lovely, very attentive and super friendly. Sharing meat board was more than enough for two people and perfect to start off with. I had the Ragu for main which was again delicious, but at the time I thought it was smallest...

Cibus is such a welcome addition to Levenshulme. Firstly, the food is stunning; using only the freshest ingredients they create beautifully unique dishes that just keep you coming back for more. We must have been here once a week since it opened and have been...

I love this place! This was my second visit to the new Cibus following their move from their pop up restaurant in Fred’s Ale House. They managed to squeeze us in for a last minute meal with the family. The food is superb but what...

First time here recommended by our friends, the food was mega would love to come not on a Sunday and try the Italian menu also, the porchetta was AMAZING. Loved all the staff super friendly.

This place is outstanding! My partner and I used to frequent Cibus when it was at Freds Ale House and the move to the new premises has enhanced what is a fabulous experience! The food is outstanding, the Pizza is as good as in Italy...

Enjoyed a lovely meal at Cibus with friends. The salted doughnuts with pesto starter was the stand out dish. Service was a bit slow but understandable as relatively new and it was a busy Friday evening. Will be certainly be returning!
