Lousy food, mediocre service, weird atmosphere. Quite expensive for the food quality. I will never return.

Food is good, but not everything was OMG. The bruschetta was spot on, and the pistachio gnocchi was a tasty surprise and delicious. I ordered the ribeye, one of the most expensive dishes on the menu. Although it was good, it was all steak. There were a couple brussel sprouts and baked gnocchi balls underneath but nothing to speak of, so basically I just had a steak which for the price was not worth it. Really needed more sides and sauce to justify what they're asking for it. My girlfriend had spaghetti and meatballs, which was dry and not nearly enough sauce. Service was good and it's a lovely restaurant, even had a guitar player and singer which made the atmosphere nice. But for the $300 for 4 people (no wine just 2 beers) it was a hard ticket to swallow. I advise knowing what you want and not going high price hoping it's the best. UPDATE: I've changed my review of the service to 5 stars, thanks to the kind staff that picked up my credit card I had left behind and mailed it to me at no charge! I really appreciate it!

The food is okay and overpriced. I don't think I would eat here again. Service was good, the atmosphere is great.

A must if you’re visiting monterey!! The food was delicious and the staff was amazing.
too expensive for the quality of food. we had the italian place down the street yday and it was way better. ambiance is good tho. but for 30$ worth of pasta, it’s not worth it.

had some of the worst drinks here in history, margaritas were terrible, service took forever as well, id give the atmosphere a 5/5 but the drinks and lack of service from the bartender was 2/5 for me. not pleasant.
The food and service was great! We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before heading on to the Golden State Theater for a show. My only issue...and not really an issue...is it is a little loud, so conversing wifh each other was challenging. We probably could have sat outside, but the loud-ish is a vibe at Cibo's and we enjoyed it. We will be back for a full dinner.

Our rigatoni was disappointing it was not the same rigatoni we had on a prior visit. Our waiter rushed us in and rushed us out and we had them last the previous time and it was the same thing rush in rush out we won't be
I can’t believe people are not checking YELP REVIEWS I got food poisoning from this place!!! The shrimp was always burnt from cooking on a dirty grill. I got food poisoning from this place. I would never recommend.

The food was great but the drinks were unsatisfactory. I ordered an Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade for those who don’t know) and to be honest…it tasted and smelled like someone farted in it. I know that sounds silly but that’s was it tasted like. I couldn’t even drink it and had to order another drink. The Italian sparklers are amazing and the peach flavor tastes exactly like a peach ring candy.Kid-friendliness: They had a good kids menu with basic food

We loved it here! First of all the food: I had the veal chop, my wife had chicken marsala, we had a side of pasta with butter, and we shared the cheesecake dessert. All were absolutely wonderful. The Old Fashioned cocktail was expertly made, my wife enjoyed her Sauvignon Blanc. Service was attentive and accommodating. On top of that, they had live jazz--a singer and guitar (on a Wednesday night). I am a jazz afficionado, and they were great. Their program was the Great American Songbook, and the guitar player was channeling John Pizzarelli. We knew to expect the jazz but we didn't expect how good it would be. Our one regret is that they don't have a branch where we live in Boston. If they did, it would be one of our favorite places.
