I dined at Cibo on my first night in London before kicking off a three week UK tour. I could not have selected a better restaurant. I knew that this was a neighborhood favorite of locals and it was just a short walk from my hotel in Holland Park. My party of four was seated at a perfect table near the front of the house. The restaurant was busy but didn't feel hectic. We were greeted as if they knew us and the whole evening had an intimacy about it. The menu is classic Italian and everything is served on beautiful ceramic plates and platters.

When I claimed I was too full for desert I was still brought a complimentary selection of beautiful little...

Delicious octopus/squid, speck, pastas, spaghetti vongole.. topped off with an espresso martini!

Oh and my 12 year old boy who is super picky about food, scoffed the lot! Like a...
