CIBO is one of our ultimate sources of comfort food (along with these off the top of our heads: Pepper Lunch, Manang's, Wings N' Things). We decided to have dinner here before going to the much-awaited concert of Snow Patrol.
You could opt to have your meal in the Oasis, the circular space/garden in the middle of Gateway mall, which we think is an experience you should try out at least once. But your dish would still have to be cooked and delivered all the way from the 3rd floor. Not sure if it will affect service time but we decided to forego the 'nature' experience and just head over to the restaurant.
Broccoli, Pomodoro, Secchi - P230
Of the numerous times we've eaten in CIBO, we always, ALWAYS order the Spinaci Zola for our antipasti. However, we decided to take a leap of faith (ala-Inception) and order something else for a change. Was it worth the risk?
..sadly, no. How could this be the bestseller?? It was good, but the spinach artichoke will always be our favorite! <3 TIP: You could always ask for some more Bruschetta for free :)
Rigatoni All 'Alfonso - P325
Aside from the Spinach dip, another staple in our CIBO experience is this pasta dish. Rigatoni All 'Alfonso. Please remember this dish and order it when you go to Cibo. Not ever doing so IS A CRIME.
It deserves being a bestseller (we overheard the other table ordering it hehehe) because it's just too damn good. The stewed tomatoes, the creamy, flavorful sauce, the al dente pasta - everything just goes together so well.
This is the best tomato-cream-based pasta we have ever tasted. Ever.
Costolette D'Agnello - P420
We've been craving lamb for quite some time now so we decided to order this meal. The dish has a generous serving of lamb chops. The lamb was very tasty! While other parts of the meat were a little bit dry, it wasn't that noticeable because of its red wine mint sauce companion, which was delicious as well.
We went to Cibo for a feel-good dinner we didn't have to think about and as always, it did not disappoint :)
PS: CIBO is celebrating its 15th Anniversary this coming August 22, 2012 by donating 15% of its sales to the flood victims of the recent unnamed habagat to hit the metro.
