First things first. A \"pizzeria\" should serve pizza all the time, including lunch, not just for dinner. Where I'm from a \"pizzeria\" offers you pizza by the slice.\n\nThat being said I did enjoy some of the aspects of my dinner at Cibo. The atmosphere and the service were fantastic. The antipasto appetizer was great and puts the antipasto at Caffe Boa to shame. (Although I did find the mozzarella in the antipasto to be rather flavorless which is bad because its my favorite type of cheese) The nutella crepe with bananas was heavenly, but then again anything with nutella is.\n\nHowever, there are some pretty major drawbacks here for me. The wine I had was pretty awful, which could have been my own fault. I swear it was Franzia, or else came out of a box. Then there is the pizza. We ordered the vegetarian pizza minus the mushrooms and were slightly shocked to discover when it came out that the toppings were spread individually on the slices. So you have two slices with a single slice of roast zucchini, two slices with a single piece of artichoke, and two slices with a meager portion of red peppers. For $11 for a 12\" pizza, it should be covered with toppings. I have never in my life seen a pizza constructed in such a fashion. I like my toppings to be mixed together so you get all the flavors coming together at once on every slice. With the size of the antipasto I was surprised to see that there were so little toppings on the pizza itself. We also ordered a calzone which was constructed in a similar fashion- a lot of meat on one side and cheese on the other. And I have to say that there was a lot more dough than I would have liked there to be with the calzone. \n\nI would be willing to go back to try some of their lunch sandwiches but as far as pizza goes its not going to work out between us.\n\nUpdate: I suggested Cibo to a friend over the weekend....only to find out they don't serve lunch on Saturday? What? If its so \"urban\" they should be serving lunch on the weekends!!!\n\nUpdate: I recently went to Cibo for lunch with Melissa H. I have to say that I was completely underwhelmed by my sandwich. The prosciutto was flavorless. The mozzarella was almost non existent. The tomato slice was huge. I basically had a pressed tomato sandwich. I didn't think it was possible for a sandwich to lack flavor that way but apparently it is. \n\nPeople need to start eating better sandwiches if you think these are great. They are mediocre at best. \n\nMeh. I'm so not impressed with this place. I'm sitting betwee a 2 and 3 right now but I'll give them the 3 since the service is always friendly and they have Miss Vicky's chips.
