First time in Manchester, & First meal in Manchester, this place was very good place for wine & dine. Food & Service was amazing , the only downfall was the tiramisu was so big portion, but apart from that it's faultless.
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.
Went here for my friend's birthday.
It is a beautiful place with great food and good drinks. It has a quite a large wine list. The food choice is great too, took us a good 15 minutes to finally decide what we wanted. It is quality of the food was great too. Really tasty. It is quite expensive for some of the dishes here but you get what you pay for. I did see some pizzas whizzing around which looked great and weren't overly expensive.
We weren't waiting ages for food even though it was busy.
The major downside here was actually the service. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. We had to ask more than once for some water, and also for our bill (both of which we waited quite a long time for). There was pretty much no interaction from them apart from taking our order. It just felt like they tried to do the absolute bare minimum. My friend said she's been there before and the staff were much more attentive so maybe it was just a busy shift. I'd still go back.
Food was great - we all had garlic breads (tomato and chilli, cheese and plain )all very good, I then enjoyed the lobster ravioli which was coated in a lobster bisque making it very enjoyable indeed. Service was top notch and the ambiance was really god particularly for a Thursday evening.
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.

Absolutely loved eating at this restaurant in Wilmslow. The service was great and the food was spectacular. The lasagna was full of flavour and the sauce on that steak was incredible!

We enjoyed a great Birthday 🥳 Lunch here. We shared a Calamari 🦑 with saffron aioli as a starter which was perfectly cooked; followed by the lobster 🦞 ravioli & seafood pasta both of which were very tasty with tiramisu and profiteroles for dessert which were both excellent. A Moretti beer 🍺 & a glass of Montepulciano 🍷& 2 glasses of Pinot Grigio Blush. Good service throughout - we haven’t visited here for awhile - we were both impressed with all of the food.
One of our favourite places to eat - always superb service, wonderful and welcoming atmosphere and the food is delicious.
Quintessential Italian with an english twist. Good food. Good service. A nicely appointed bar. A lot of people so make sure to reserve.
I've never had a bad experience at Cibo in the past probably 10 years that I've been going. The staff are so incredibly welcoming and helpful, the portion sizes are great and so many options!
