“ We were so impressed with Phil and Carl's outstanding service. They were genuinely nice and welcoming, and even though we arrived close to closing time, they made us feel completely at ease, encouraging us to take our time. They went above and beyond by suggesting our toddler join the Cibo Club. This level of care and attention deserves a 10/10, and we're already looking forward to our next visit! ”
“ Lunch out treat for Dad! Been craving authentic Italian and a good steak for weeks, and Cibo Southwoods Mall delivered beyond expectations. Huge shoutout to your team for the extra special and pleasant experience! Everything was spot on—the tender Ribeye steak, perfectly al dente Rigatoni Ragu, crispy Fritto Misto, and more. Now I truly understand why Chef Gaita is so loved by many—she’s infused every dish and every diner’s experience with that signature customer-first warmth and Italian hospitality. ”
“ “Home-y” ambience, staff were very accommodating. Food was superb, especially the pasta. We also ordered our coffee fix here, and it didn’t disappoint as well. We got a 50% off promo for cc, but otherwise it’s a bit of a higher price point. ”
“ I loved the food and the service. Phil was really nice to me. ”
“ Well trained staff. Very friendly. Provides good customer service towards guests. Server PHILIP did an amazing and exceptional service. The store branch is clean and spacious. The food quality is great too! I just learned that CIBO has also a meal promo like other restaus. Good job team Southwoods Mall! ”
“ I was excited to try Cibo after seeing its high rating, but found it to be overrated in terms of food quality vs. price. The service was truly five-star and made the experience enjoyable. The mozzarella sticks were excellent, but the portion was tiny and cost P500+++—poor value! The pastas, including the seafood and mac and cheese, were mediocre at best and not worth the high price. The pizza was good, as expected for the cost. Be prepared to spend at least P1,000 per person. I wouldn't recommend it purely on the food's value, but the service is undeniably superb. ”
