Cibo

Cibo
G/F Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Dr. cor. Estrella St.
Makati City, Metro Manila
Philippines
(02) 898-0366

When Chuckie’s parents went to visit Manila, we wanted to take them to a restaurant not available in Cebu and one that does not serve Chinese or Filipino food. Soooo we took them to Cibo in Rockwell. :)


Their sofa inside is comfortable and very cute looking. Parking is not a problem since it is in a mall. You can opt to park in the open area right in front of Cibo or the underground parking and just go out in the exit near Starbucks. For starters, we ordered Spinaci Zola - Spinach, gorgonzola.

 
Dip is incredibly good. Would want to have a jar of this at home or at the office!

For the main course, we ordered the below.

  
Tenderloin Strips (forgot the name) – Very soft and flavorful. Best to order with rice. =)) You can really taste the garlic flavor of it. We dipped the bread in the Spinaci Zola! :)

Rigatoni All 'Alfonso - Shrimps, chives, stewed tomato, chili peppers, cream-by choice

Sauce was awesome. After we finished the dish, we couldn’t help but scrape off the remaining sauce using bread. Simut! Choice of pasta wasn’t good because it was a bit hard. Would’ve been better with spaghetti type of pasta.


Porchetta Bianca - Mozzarella, roast pig, spinach, onions, cracklings
 - The bread was the downfall. It felt as if it was reheated. Good part of this pizza is the chicharon, which is the “crackling” part of the dish.

For our drinks, we ordered their signature Iced Tea and Banana Milkshake.


Both tasted GOOOOOOD!!!!

Here we are enjoying our food with good company. :)

Verdict:
-          Restaurant for all occasions. You can bring your date, your family, or your friends there.
-          Price is normal for the serving and the kind of restaurant
-          Service is very good. Staff was very accommodating and very well mannered. They allowed us to change seats because our first one was near the window blower.
-          Will definitely come back to try other dishes!
