Cibbo - All Day Dining & Bar — Restaurant in Pune

All-day eatery and cafe with European cuisine. Lovely ambience and nicely done interiors with classy layout indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of beverage and food options here including hot and cold coffees, iced teas, mocktails, smoothies, cocktails. The cafe latte here which was freshly brewed coffee served with milk and almond biscotti. The CAFE LATTE was good but the biscotti was very hard! 4/5 Fried chicken CAESAR salad was delicious with pieces of their signature fried chicken and croutons, parmesan and ultra thinly sliced cheese and fresh lettuce. 3.5/5 FRENCH FRIES were pathetic. This would be the first time that we sent back the fries as the oil used for frying was stale..the 2nd plate served was equally bad..returned that too first experience in my life that we had pathetic fries. 0.5/5 The signature FRIED CHICKEN was double fried crispy chicken with 2 dips. 3/5 CREAMY baked PRAWNS IN OYSTER Shells- this was the star of the evening. Creamy buttered prawns served in oyster shells. Good ol' butter fried prawns in cheesy sauce served in fancy oyster shells. 5/5 LAMB TOASTADAS- even after being reassured by our server that the lamb would be fresh, this dish was served with stale mutton which had the typical smell. Served on nachos and weird toppings of flax seeds, picked onion, jalapeños, pumpkin seeds etc. Could've easily been a 3 but due to the stale mutton il 1.5/5. CHICKEN STROGANOFF yummy and aromatic yet non-spicy chicken curry served with parsley rice. Delcious and very filling. 4.5/5 MARRY-ME CHICKEN too sour for my liking. Full of sundried tomatoes and sourness. Hardly any spice. Served with rice. 2/5 GARLIC BREAD WITH CHEESE- fresh garlic bread with stuffed cheese. Good texture and taste! 4/5 SAUTEED MUSHROOM and truffle oil PIZZA thin crust pizza with generous cheese and mushroom topping. Crispy edges and softer centres 4.5/5 MUSHROOM CAPPUCINO brown soup with cream served in a coffee cup. Good to taste but have had better 3.5/5 ONE POT VEGETABLE STEW served with herbed pimento rice. Flavourful, non spicy, colourful and yummy! 4/5 Tomato BRUSCHETTA was decent. 3.5/5 Veg RED SAUCE PENNE PASTA- average. 2.5/5 GRILLED CHICKEN, MASHED POTATOES with sauteed veggies . The mashed potatoes were absolutely stale and reeking "ambat" or had that sour smell that one gets one the food is ultra stale. Asked the server to try after 3 of us said it's stale. She said the mashed potatoes at their restaurant are like this only. Grilled chicken in jus was good. Quantity was less, sauteed veggies were good. 3/5 CREME BRULEE more like custard pudding at home with glazed sugar crust. Not very sweet so I liked it. 4/5 PISTACHIO TRES LECHES not very sweet, cake soaked is condensed milk. Good. 4/5 CHOCOLATE AVALANCE PULL ME UP was actually quite a let down because it was simply chocolate pastry with chocolate sauce. Nothing great to look at or to eat. 3/5 The prices are on higher side but I was disappointed that despite charging well they weren't serving freshly prepared food..especially when Pune has so many cases of GBS Guillan Barre syndrome. Overall good place and can be better if they stop serving stale meat and potatoes and stop using the same oil for deep frying so...

Review Title: "Serving Looks, Not Vibes – a 1003.4 Rupees Cry for Help"

Okay besties, let me paint the scene. We walked into this place expecting to be transported—maybe to Italy, maybe to Brooklyn, maybe just to a better mood. But no. This café gave Pinterest board with commitment issues.

Let’s start with the bill. 1003.4 rupees per person for what? 3 iced lattes (espresso? barely knew her), one grapefruit sparkling soda that tasted like LaCroix got dumped, gnocchi that said I'm soft but not in the comforting way, truffle fries so mid they should be illegal in 2025, a papardelle that was less al dente and more al disappointment (and who TF added that much thyme, I was tasting forest floor), avo toast that gave “influencer on a juice cleanse”, and a chocolate cake that whispered “I’m technically dessert” and nothing more.

Like… is this a café or a scam with mood lighting?

Now let’s talk music. BABE. Who decided on this playlist of crappy acoustic covers of cheesy songs from 2009? It was giving “Spotify playlist called ‘Rainy Day Feels’ made by someone who just discovered Colbie Caillat.” Absolutely no cohesion with the sterile-minimalist-aesthetic-meets-floral-wall they were trying to serve. The music and the decor were in two entirely different relationships and none of them were happy.

And the vibe? It’s trying so hard. Every corner is like “take a pic here” but babe, if I’m paying this much, I better feel something. Instead, I felt broke and betrayed.

Other places give you delicious, moody lighting, a playlist that slaps, and a check that doesn’t feel like a bad financial decision. This place? Just gave me Instagram bait with a side of existential crisis.

Would I go again? Only if I’m being paid. Or if I lose a bet. Or if I want to feel nothing while eating overpriced carbs.

Final verdict: 2/5 stars. One for the cutlery. One for surviving.

Cibbo Caffè & Bar 📍F.C.Road, Pune It has cozy European Vibes, a bungalow turned into a café. Its designed into three different regions of Italy with indoor & outdoor seating. European fine dine getaway with an enticing menu, sparkling crafted beverages from hot to cold in coffee, cocktails and mocktails etc A must- visit café for those special occasions & your special ones, right in the heart of the city!

We tried Burgundy Bliss Yuzu Lichee Fizz Refreshing sparkling mocktails that set our mood, in this hot weather! Not very icy that I loved.

Munching into…starters Creamy baked Prawns in oyster Shells CIBBO Fried Ravoili The ravioli was spot on, has a filling of caramelised onions with cheese. The siracha mayonnaise apt. While Prawns were next level ( star dish) A Soft creamy buttery sauce prawns baked in oyster shells. Melt in the mouth, so good, smoky taste. Absolutely a must have.

Mains: Bbq Chicken Pizza – deep dish with crispy edges, loaded with veggies and chicken baked over wood fire. Too delicious, huge portions. Grilled Veg Tartine : Tartine (using sourdough bread), veggies were deliciously fresh but the toast roasted crispy and hurting the sides of the mouth on every bite. Not a great feeling. Fries too were not up to my expectations as I got a feeling that they were fried in used oil. Leaving a dissatisfaction.

I always say ….”Leave room for a dessert” It is a sweet tooth person talking 😀😃

Pistachio Tres leches was a hit. Spongy vanilla cake resting over milk maid with loaded chopped pistachio. While the milkmaid took it to the next level, the cake delectable rich!

Overall an amazing experience. A spot to definitely visit for special occasions with your friends or family. Or a Date. Tag/ Share/Save post with your friends & family.
