Cibo is an Italian restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.^[1]^[2] Owner Marco Frattaroli opened the restaurant in 2012.

Description

Cibo (pronounced chee-bo; Italian for food)^[3] is an Italian restaurant in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood.^[4] The 2,000-square-foot space has a bar, an open kitchen with an imported Ligurian pizza oven,^[5] red leather booths,^[6] and wrap-around windows.^[7]

Erin DeJesus of Eater Portland said the restaurant was "designed around the concept of the cecina, a topped chickpea flatbread, and hand-pulled pizzas".^[8] The menu has also included stromboli, charcuterie, baked fish, and Pax romana sausage with foccaccia, relish, and house mustard.^[8] Other dishes have included bolognese, polenta lasagne, bacon-wrapped quail, and pan-seared trout with prosciutto and sage.^[9]

History

Owner Marco Frattaroli confirmed plans to open Cibo in January 2012.^[7] Originally slated to open in April, the restaurant's launch was pushed back to mid May,^[5] then June 26,^[10]^[11] before finally debuting on July 3.^[12]

Reception

Samantha Bakall ranked Cibo number 15 in The Oregonian's 2017 list of Portland's twenty-seven best wood-fired pizzas, in which she described the restaurant as a "neighborhood favorite".^[13] Zuri Anderson included Cibo in iHeart Media's 2021 overview of the city's "highest-rated" pizza restaurants, based on Tripadvisor reviews.^[14]

Alex Frane included Cibo in Eater Portland's 2022 list of fifteen "stellar" Italian eateries in the city, writing: "the mistake could be made that Cibo is more of a pizzeria and bar than full Italian restaurant. But the small-but-solid pasta list and Italian wine menu elevate the restaurant to a more full-fledged Italian eatery, while still being a more casual, weeknight or special occasion kind of venture. Still, the thin, char-kissed wood-fired pizzas are the main draw, especially the signature margherita."^[6]
