The café is not only a feast for the stomach but also for the senses—a symphony of tantalizing aromas fills the air, promising a delightful culinary experience.
CIBO’s menu features an array of traditional Italian dishes, each one crafted with the freshest ingredients and a touch of love. The Gnocchi Mushroom is a crowd favorite, showcasing homemade gnocchi tossed in a luscious creamy white wine sauce with garlic and savory mushrooms—it's comfort food at its finest for just A$25.90. If you're craving something heartier, the Pappardelle Ragu is a must-try; hand-cut pasta ribbons mingle with slow-cooked osso bucco and fragrant rosemary, delivering an unforgettable taste sensation.
Do not miss the delightful Chicken Mushroom Risotto, a creamy mélange of tender chicken and spices, or the mouthwatering Rigatoni Carbonara, which seamlessly combines the rich flavors of prosciutto and egg yolk. Each dish is not only a meal but a love letter to Italian culinary traditions.
The vibrant community spirit comes through in the reviews that fill the café with positive energy.

You can’t help but feel welcomed in this home-away-from-home where even the owner takes time to chat with guests, just as Surbhi Peshwe experienced during her husband’s birthday celebration, complete with a sweet surprise of crème brûlée!
