Description

From owner, chef, and Italian pizza maestro Guido Saccone (who earned his stripes in Caserta, just northeast of Naples and the birthplace of modern pizza), this cozy and cute downtown Phoenix eatery, Cibo (pronounced CHEE-boh), is best known for its wood-fired pizza, housemade fresh pasta, salads, and crepes. Set in a restored, 1913 bungalow with art on the walls and jazz on the stereo, it's perfect for couples and small parties.

    My boyfriend and I tried Cibo for the first time the other night, and it was even better than I had expected. I'd heard great things, but man, I had no idea just how great. We split a house salad (which contained some of the best red peppers I've ever tasted), a Genova pizza with onions and potatoes and assorted cheeses, and a crepe with grand marnier inside - yum from start to finish. The patio was so cozy with its grape-shaped twinkle lights, and they are super dog-friendly -- we brought our pooch and he was fawned over (and offered water) by every server who came by!

    The food here is great. Make sure to try any of the dessert crapes, they are delicious.

    There's a reason Cibo feels so homey that we hardly want to leave — like so many of central Phoenix's neatest restaurants, it's situated in a renovated historic bungalow. From wood floors to a cozy layout, this place has a warmth and character that make it the perfect place to share an intimate meal with close friends. Owners Tony and Karen Martingiglio and their son Michael welcome guests as if they were family, and chef Guido Saccone's Italian cooking inspires good cheer, too. What's not to love about organic salads and rustic antipasti, flavorful pizzas from a wood-fired oven, and crepes for dessert? Try it for yourself, and you might wish you could move in, too.

  • 2012 | Best Neighborhood Pizza, Downtown Phoenix

    Pronounced CHEE-bo ("food" in Italian), this cozy eatery in a restored 1913 bungalow in the Roosevelt Historic District stars Tuscan pizzaiolo Guido Saccone working pizza magic at the wood-burning oven. The 12-inch pies are works of art, with a hand-tossed thin crust that's equal amounts of crunchy and chewy and topped with an extra drizzle of virgin olive oil before adding locally grown organic produce and premium Italian-imported ingredients. We're particularly in love with white pizza... More »

  • 2011 | Best Place for a First Date

    Ah, the first date. A mixture of hope, fear, and possibility all rolled into one, and if you're going to take a leap into the unknown, the best place to do it is Cibo. The warm, intimate atmosphere, combined with a stellar peach Bellini, will push awkwardness to the wayside. Set in a historic, restored 1913 bungalow, you and (maybe he or she will be) yours can dine under the care of a friendly staff while appreciating the brick fireplace, quaint patio, and hardwood floors. We recommend... More »

  • 2011 | Best Neighborhood Pizzeria, Downtown Phoenix

    For so long, people have loved to loathe downtown Phoenix. Working downtown is bad enough, they scoff, but actually living in the center of the city? Perish the thought! Why, there's no decent grocery store, nowhere to park, you have to step around crackheads to get into Circle K to pay for gas. (Gee, sounds like a real city to us.) But there's one thing downtown Phoenix has that your neighborhood doesn't: Cibo. Not only does this sweet old house have a gorgeous bar and a twinkle-lit brick... More »

  • 2010 | Best Neighborhood Pizzeria, Central Phoenix

    Just outside the downtown orbit, Cibo is truly tucked into a residential neighborhood, bringing energy to a beautifully restored historic 1913 bungalow at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fillmore Street. Outside, the lush front yard is filled with umbrella tables and twinkling lights, while the interior is packed with cozy tables, cheerful artwork, and a fabulous bar area where it's fun to sip Chianti as you wait to nosh on chef Guido Saccone's wood-fired pizzas, lavish antipasto plates, and...

  • 2009 | Best Place to Take a First Date

    It's easy to fall in love with the charms of Cibo. And who knows? Maybe some of that magic will rub off on your date, too. The building itself is a lovingly restored historic bungalow, with wood floors, a brick fireplace, pretty windows throughout, and an inviting front patio, which twinkles with white lights after sundown. Proprietors Tony and Karen Martingiglio and their son, Michael Krassner, run the restaurant with the kind of passion and personal service that makes first-timers feel as... More »

  • 2007 | BEST DOWNTOWN LUNCH

    Fabulous rustic pizzas may be Cibo's biggest claim to fame, but don't expect to order a pie at lunch. Instead, stop by for colorful salads -- like organic greens with pine nuts, tomatoes, roasted potatoes, pesto dressing, and shaved Parmesan -- or one of the big sandwiches made on warm, crusty saltimbocca loaves fresh out of the wood-fired oven. The caprese, filled with fresh mozzarella, always hits the spot, but we love the refreshing, basil-and-mint-tinged tuna salad, too.... More »

  • 2006 | BEST GOURMET PIZZA

    For our money -- and, more important, our time waiting for a table -- the best gourmet pizza in this burg is put out by Cibo, whose owners Karen and Tony Martingilio were wise enough to have imported young pizza maestro Guido Saccone from the town of Caserta, near the birthplace of pizza in Naples. Saccone used to make hundreds of pies a day in his brother's pizzeria back home, and his knowledge and expertise produce a superior pie here, with a light, thin crust that's never salty, and alwa...

  • 2005 | BEST GOURMET PIZZA

    Tired of waiting for two hours for a frou-frou pie? Then head over to Cibo (pronounced "chee-bo") for pizza that's better than that other guy's, and in even classier environs, a restored 1913 bungalow with hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, a wood-burning pizza oven, and a wine bar. It's the work of proprietors Karen and Tony Martingilio, who've brought in Italian pizza chef Guido Saccone to deal with the comestibles, while they work the front rooms. Not only is Cibo more expansive than... More »
