CIBO - Ayala Malls The 30th — Restaurant in Pasig

Cibo is always a nice place to hangout and eat. We went to their branch in Ayala Malls The 30th. This branch is like any other Cibo branch. They had a welcoming and very professional waiting staff that makes you feel good about your visit. It’s been a while since I ate at Cibo so I ordered my favorite pasta Linguine Di Valentino. I find this dish unique to Cibo as it is the only Italian restaurant I know that serve pasta with authentic crab meat. My wife had Spaghettini Alla Margherita which is a pesto based pasta with garlic and stewed tomatoes. I can still remember how fragrant is was. The basil pesto smelled so good that it almost made me want to order another pesto based pasta too! 😅 But for some reason the restaurant was quite warm inside. We didn’t want to dine at their al fresco dining area because it was also a hot day. But aside from that, the food and service was impeccable. Would definitely go back!

PS. Ayala Malls The 30th has live music in their open area during the evening. “John Mana” was the singer that night. He was great! Shout out to John Mana! Your voice is definitely “Mana...

I used to like Cibo a lot - taste, price etc. I recall enjoying eating here 5-10yrs ago but I think the value for money dropped significantly thru the years. We paid more than 1000 per person 🥲

Highlights: Classic Iced tea - one of the best! Lasagna - ok this is good!!! But serving was small for 700 🥲 Amazing Staff! Attentive, respectful, accommodating

Lowlights: Spinach dip - underwhelming. I used to like this so much but the version we got today was lacking in cream and taste Truffle Pasta - was ok. Other cafes can do the same quality at lower price :( Pizzas 2 (Margherita and prosciutto something) just ok too. Lacks the umami / the quality taste The Bistecca was the most disappointing 😢 3k for well done (even if we asked for medium rare) and the taste was meh huhu felt everything was a waste - of meat, of...

My family and I have a lot of history with this branch and with that, a lot of happy memories shared over a pizza or a steaming bowl of pasta. The quality of food? Consistently tasty especially after a long day. The quality of service? Amazing. There's a reason why this branch attracts a lot of repeat customers The staff in this branch, in particular, always make us feel welcomed and well taken care of. A special shoutout to Neil, a supervisor at this branch, who always goes the extra mile to make sure that we've always left the resto with a good meal and a great dining experience. 10/10...
