It was my first time to eat in Cibo Italiano JLT branch and indeed I will visit again and recommend to everyone. We ordered their pasta, sandwich and dessert. I used my Smiles App and got 30% off on total bill the food is worth the penny with good customer experience as the server was so nice and accommodating. So i will surely be back! ❤🥰

Good stuff here.If youre craving for a quick service for Italian food. Come here. I ordered the bruschetta and Porcini and Tartufo pasta. All good and very tasty. Will definitely comeback. The wait staff are attentive. Doesnt have that Italian vibe as this is a restaurant chain from Singapore.

Italian restaurant thats a notable step above the generic Italian from many other non-specialist restaurants around, the food and pasta is pretty good. Theres meat, seafood and vegetarian options available; pasta, pizza and other appetisers and main course dishes.The restaurant also sells Italian gelato and theres some cakes and desserts on offer for dine-in, takeaway and delivery. Prices are not cheap, but reasonable for the quality you get.Theres a good sized indoor dining room, supplemented by outdoor dining in the cooler months, but the restaurant can get pretty full at busy times such as weekend lunches (even though you dont need to book a table).Parking is available in the RTA bays in the cluster.

I live near by and always coming for breakfast lunch or just to enjoy coffee with lake view. Love pasta here and often taking risotto with truffles it’s delicious 😋

Extremely disappointed with the beef in my salad when the order made was vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian all my life and never had meat and I had the misery of eating it accidentally. To this, zomato helped me arrange a call from the restaurant who called back and the lady retorts back saying its PARTLY VEGETARIAN (although the order clearly has a green symbol of vegetarian without beef mentioned in it). She failed to understand the gravity of the situation that they cant feed meat to non meat eaters and that they cant take this issue lightly. She offered me a free replacement for the same wishing I would be tempted into having a replacement. I wasnt looking for free food, I was looking for them to be considerate and apologize and make sure they dont repeat it for other customers (they just lost one though) She did say a thank you and wished me a good night, but never even bothered to apologize for the mistake. (apathy personified) This is the first time I would be writing a stern (and negative) review about any restaurant. I feel bad doing so, but I wish I wasnt forced to do that. I would prefer a 0 star for apathy in a service industry, but 1 s the least I am allowed to. So be it.

🍽 Boun Appetito 😊 Set a plan that make you jump out of the bed in the morning. This was easily one of the best breakfast I have ever had in @ciboitalianodubai. The presentation, the taste and the vibe of this heaven was so on point. Super fresh ingredients really good quality of food. I am so In love with their outdoor sitting so calm and peaceful.🥑Avocado toast - The British smoked beef bacon, sunny side up eggs, garden salad🍣Avocado toast - The Scottish smoked salmon, dill, onion, capers, lime, mix of pepper🥚Four cheese omelette - served with fresh garden salad toast bread and a choice of meat🍳Sunny side up🥐Croissant - Nutella, berry, salted🍹☕️Drinks - Orange juice, Hot chocolate & cappuccinoThe restaurant staff is very kind and generous and greeted us with their grand hospitality!

Review №13

A lovely restaurant with seating outdoors and indoor. It has view of the lake.Salmone & Salsa Rosa: delicious, soft and tender. However, I think if they reduce the tomato sauce slightly and increase the tomatoes, it will be better, at least personally. The tomatoes do taste wonderful but the sauce made me question if I ever tasted a salmon.Gelato, pistache: fantastique! The blend is so good and superb! I don’t know how to describe it to you well but you constantly want more.The service is good. They are very friendly and always checking on you if you want something, sometimes they come to your table, other times they are hanging around so you can call them easily instead of always being far. They are always looking after you.

I like this place a lot. Staff do their most to handle customer flow and food is always great. But during Friday morning there is only staff of 2 (plus 1 cook) to handle almost full restaurant of people...We have waited for few minutes to be seated, but it was not possible even tho 2 tables were available and just needed to be cleaned. Its not staff fault - there is just too little of them.Will try next week to see if it changes but otherwise will have to find other place for quick morning Friday snack 🥨

I have traveled all over the stunning locations of Italy gorging my way through as many restaurants as I could and the food was delicious.Since then, I was on a constant hunt to find a good authentic Italian restaurant which would just not feed me but my soul. Trust me I have been to countless restaurants/ cafe for a good Italian meal but it was of no avail.Finally my search ended with this lovely restaurant in Jumeirah lake towers.They have a wide range of pastas, pizzas, desserts and some amazing mocktails.We started off with some homemade antipasti followed by fresh pasta and pizza. This was easily one of the best meals I have ever had. The food here took me back to Italy, it tasted so good and was full of Italian condiments. The presentation, the taste and the vibe of this little Italian heaven was so on point, and lastly it doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. It’s very well priced.The owner (Simone) of the restaurant is very kind and generous and greeted us with his grand hospitality!Do pay a visit guys!

Took the coffee + croissant breakfast combo at AED 15. The croissant is big and comes with filling if you want (Nutella, jam or cream), you also have the choices of coffees (americano, cappuccino, latte...) without extra. They have a nice terrace by the lake. The service is great, thanks Gilles!

Cibo Italiano Dubai, a cute little new Italian place has opened up in #jlt which is the home to many of our personal favorite restaurants.It’s a nice space, nicely done up. Open kitchen & live bar. I saw some salads in the chiller too.So the menu has all day breakfast, a wide selection of pasta & pizzas & Italian soups, & starters. Portions are decent, pricing is good too.We tried two #mocktails, Sangria & Bellini, both had these cute ice cubes with fruit inside.Starters we had, burrata & misto which is mixed fried calamari & octopus. Loved the dip that came with the misto. Buratta was fresh too.So now the pastas, the options are limited when it comes white sauce base, I requested for a lobster one featured with red which was refused, I ordered another with prawns then.Second we had a Bolognese but with penne, cause I wanted to have the linguine pasta broken up was told it’s pre cooked and can’t happen, the meat sauce however was good. Both pastas had decent portions.New places, need to understand that Dubai is cosmopolitan, multi cultural city & customers would like things done their way often. So slight more flexibility is advised.The table next to us had ordered pizza which looked superb. So perhaps next time I’ll order and try the pizzas.Wishing the place all the best !JLT Dining•••🍕 #pizza #pizzaitaliana #toptags #pizzeria #fornoalegna #impasto #italianfood #pomodoro #mozzarella #foodblog #foodblogger #foodoftheday #photooftheday #pizzafreak #foods #pizzalovers #pizzas #pizzalover #ilovepizza #italianfoodbloggers #pizzagram #pizzatime #yummy #foodpic #instafood #lunch #instagood

Discovered this place by pure coincidence while wandering in JLT . I ordered Frito de Mare Misto (fried calamari and shrimps) and the Mediterranea salad. The food is fairly good with fresh ingredients and it comes in a very good portion. The service is really good and the place has a nice vibe.

I live in the community and visit the restaurant a couple times.Food is exquisite and fantastic!You may realize all ingredients with high quality and freshness, and I can tell the owner is tasteful from light decoration and food menu. BTW, coffee is my favorite in Dubai so far!

CiBo is a cute little Italian restaurant situated in the centre of JLT. It sits in the prime hub for DMCC businesses and is the perfect spot to go to for lunch as, not only do they have a great offer on a set menu (AED 59 for 2 courses), but they are also on the Entertainer app so if you fancy something from the main menu, you and a partner can enjoy 2 for 1 offers.The service here was amazing and the food was fresh, tasty and delicious. They serve a variety of Italian dishes (everything from pastas, pizzas etc) and they have a picture menu so you can see what your food will look like before you order.During the winter (less hot) months in Dubai, you can dine al-fresco (outside) and enjoy the amazing views of the JLT lakes which are quite breath-taking.Overall we had a very pleasant visit and would go again.Instagram: @journeywithuss

Fantastic, fresh food with one of the best pizzas I’ve had in the UAE. Deliciously light crust, fresh cheese, and flavourful toppings.We also ordered the ricotta and spinach tortellini, which was freshly made with a delicious sauce, and the truffle parmesan fries which were crispy and generously portioned.The lemon mint juice was also prepared with on the spot without any syrups.A great dining experience, perfect for a date night or a cozy family dinner.

Sat out in the open air tables, nice area, great view. Atmosphere is great. Service started very well. Menu is great, decided to have a Pizza. But couldnt eat the Pizza with my fingers because the toppings just kept slipping off. And the base was very floppy. Eventually had to use a knife and fork. Then I wanted to order a coffee, but when the waiter eventually came to my table, he already had the bill and advised me that now the coffee machine was being cleaned. When I placed my Pizza order i did mention that after Id eaten i wanted to order coffee. But still worth a visit.

We recently used Cibo Italiano to cater a VIP yacht party and we were very pleased with the entire experience, the food, and the service. The team was very responsive, with the owner being involved hands-on. Cibo did a great job in setting up the area on the yacht and looking after the guests during the cruise. The feedback from our clients was fabulous. Well surely use Cibo again for future catering requirements.

Social Media made wonders to me as I learned about Cibo Italiano in JLT. Another hidden gem yet to be discovered and they deserved to known by many, definitely!Had the time to dine at their outlet mid week last week. I was under the impression that the it will only be a casual dining place, an after-work kind of restaurant. When I saw the place, I instantly amazed as it literally looked like an outlet of a 5star hotel (not exaggerating). The place is brand new, properly lit, enough and comfortable dining space. It is almost like a fine dining feel. I love the idea of having fresh food display at the counter and also the concept of having an open kitchen - gives me a hygienic impression of the outlet. This, for me, is important and Cibo Italiano impressed me at first sight.Service was outstanding. There were quite a number of diners at the time but I noticed that the servers are prompt and switched on and didn’t feel they missed any service sequence. Impressive! Sarah, our server, was very accommodating and always smiling. She has a good product knowledge and tried her best to introduce us to unfamiliar (for us) menu item 😊 I really appreciate her help.I want to highlight the food Cibo Italiano offers!It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Their burrata cheese salad is the freshest, goes very well with grilled (i think) eggplant and zucchini with greens (rocket leaves i think). The olive oil they use is top notch, I tasted. Super! My husband’s favorite is fried calamari, I tried to stop him from ordering Frito de Mare Misto (mix of deep fry calamari and shrimps) but good thing he insisted! Definitely the best one I have tried, they use some dry seasoning that will make you reach umami levels (if you know what I mean). That’s for starters. For the mains, we ordered All’Aragostine (lobster linguine) and Tagliata de Manzo (grilled sliced rib eye). Both dishes taste perfecto! I am not sure if the pasta is freshly made, but the sauce was so good (that I wished I had more pasta to go with it, lol) the lobster were cooked just perfect. Rib eye quality was so juicy, because if is sliced I would recommend go for medium rare to get the utmost quality of beef. Desserts were Tiramisu and Panna Cotta - both delicious.For the price you pay to dine at Cibo Italiano, you’d definitely get the best quality of food (actually even more) as their prices are quite affordable. I am still craving to try more from their menu. Will definitely come back very soon. Hopefully next time would be with my colleagues. LOVE IT!
