Cibo Homemade Pasta & Grille

Great pizza and pasta! I’m from Rhode Island which is home to some of the best pasta and pizza, Cibo fits right in. Was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. Friendly staff and very clean establishment. Will be back again!

AMAZING homemade pasta! Family owned & run which makes it very comfortable and pleasant. Highly recommend!!! If you are a pizza/​pasta fan then definitely check it out. I will definitely be returning to try the pizza next time! Love that you can carry out and dine-​in. Very comfortable and good sized place in a convenient plaza in Chagrin! Love love love the food and the atmosphere.

Pizza and pasta excellant. Service too. Great value. As good as any pizza and pasta you’ll get anywhere. Very casual atmosphere. Great for anyone including families. Need more places like this.

Family friendly, tasty, great price point! Family dinner on a Tuesday. We tried marinara, pesto and Alfredo. All were winners. Attractive small space. Love that this is one of our neighborhood places. We will rerun for both dine in and carry out. Enjoy it both ways.

By far the best restaurant in town! Amazing food, even better service and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pasta is to die for! I am addicted to the whole wheat pasta with marinara and eggplant on top. Highly recommended!

This meal was amazing! I had the marinara with a touch of alfredo! The pasta was perfectly done, the sauce was amazing! I also had bruschetta and the caprese salad! I am definitely going back! If you are in the area you must give this eatery a try! Bravissimo! Well done!

My husband and I go once a week. He gets pasta and I get the salad with chicken. Have also had the pizza and cannoli, both are excellent as is their whole wheat pasta. You can watch the pasta machine cranking out the fresh dough. The family that owns the restaurant are delightful. There are a bunch of daughters (5?) who all waitress. They are always friendly as are mom and dad.

Everything here is good. Homemade pasta is fantastic. Pizzas are amazing. Nice simple menu. Family owned and operated. Lovely people. The only problem is this: all of the table surfaces are sticky. Not sticky enough that I’ll stop coming, but enough to make it slightly less enjoyable.

Delicious pizza. I’ve been there twice with some co-​workers and both times everyone has commented how their pizza was perfect. I’ll definitely add it to my regular rotation when I’m in town.

Pasta and cannolis were phenomenal. Cappuccinos were the highlight of our night! Great food. Great place. Great family.

Always fun to find a new Italian restaurant and very reasonably priced. Food was good, nothing special but a good value. Everyone enjoyed the pizza (although there was 1 little piece of basil on the whole margherita) and the kids enjoyed the pasta. Unfortunately, the place wasn’t clean — table was sticky and dirty (it needed more than a quick wipe with a damp towel). The floor under our table had crumbs and pieces of food that looked like they had been there a while, attracting hundreds of ants (no exaggeration). We were already halfway thru the meal so didn’t point out to upset the group, but it was bad. I also wish someone had pointed out the pasta machine — the kids might have liked it but we didn’t see it sitting up front. Weren’t told about any specials or asked if we wanted bread. It was nice to be able to get a glass of wine. If it wasn’t for the cleanliness issue, we would have gone back.

Good food, but lacking service. It took 20 minutes to get water, it was loud, even paying took forever. To the restaurants credit it was pretty busy.

Homemade pasta, homemade sauce are both very good. I always get the wheat cavatelli with arrabiata sauce and ground Italian sausage and add my own parmegiana cheese at home. The arrabiata is spicy and delicious. My wife lives their volcano sauce which is, ironically, not spicy.

First time visitors and will definitely be back. Great pasta great Pesto great price great service

This was a great find!!! I was driving by a d hungry so I stopped in. The cavatelli is homemade and delicious! It looks a little different from cavatelli I’ve had in the past — regardless it was delicious and the meat sauce was awesome!!! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other sauce options. They also have specials — it was eggplant parm when I went however I did not try it. Casual yet nice environment and they serve alcohol!!!

With 4 ½ stars, I expected this place to be really great. However, my family and I went and were a little disappointed. They only make one type of pasta that you can order with the various sauces they have, and they also have pizzas. I think maybe we should have ordered the pizza because the pasta was only so-​so; we tried both the regular and the whole wheat. I had the pesto-​Alfredo sauce and it was pretty good, although I don’t think I’d order it again. Other family members ordered the meat sauce and red pepper red sauce, and the sauce seemed pretty watery. They were underwhelmed. For appetizers, we ordered bruschetta (which was really good actually. It came with 4 pieces for $ 5 though) and the antipasto meat, olive and cheese platter (very overpriced– $ 10 for a few pieces of provolone and Parmesan, salami and prosciutto, and some kalamata olives). Our server didn’t seem very happy to be there, and actually never came back after we requested more bread and water refills. We had to ask someone else to serve us.
Overall, we wouldn’t come back. But the bruschetta was pretty darn delicious.

Amazing, authentic Italian food. Imagine the best pasta bar you can, with the addition of giant meatballs, subs, eggplant/​chicken parm, and more. You might miss it driving by, so be sure to pop in! Great prices for great food.

Stood in line for a few minutes, but it was SO worth it. First time to Cibo this evening. Everything on the menu is homemade and fresh. The pasta was actually coming out of the machine as we stood there and we watched ours get cooked. Our plates included Cavatelli with pesto, marinara, and arrabbiata sauces. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauces were delicious. In fact, the sauces were being prepared as we waited. Things are simple here — as they should be. Great fresh ingredients, time-​honored recipes, and skilled hands putting it all together. We will definitely be back and bring our friends that appreciate great food.

It’s really fun to watch the pasta machine in action as it shoots out the little noodles. I could watch this all day.
We visited on a recent friday night and it was not terribly busy. The family behind the counter is friendly and efficient. The menu is simple but confusing; we had to ask about a few items as we weren’t sure what they were.
I had the creamy pesto pasta — after you order, sauce is sauteed with the noodles for a few mintues before serving. The basil pesto was creamy and delicious. My friend got the marinara with a huge tender meatball, so good. I just wish the sauce was a littel thicker so it stuck to the noodles a bit more.

A fresh pasta bar owned and run by a family local to the area, Cibo offers an interesting concept in serving up Italian food in an area where 4 Italian-​themed restaurants compete within a 200-​foot radius.
First off, and most importantly, the food quality is good, tasty, and delicious, full of rich Italian flavors (garlic, marinara, oregano, basil, etc.) — simple yet genuine.
The fresh pasta bar concept? Now this is a real treat for someone looking for a change from the usual laundry list of menu items copy-​catted at virtually every restaurant with an Italian-​sounding name. Sorta akin to a Chipotle or Subway, patrons order their meal at the counter working from one end a short distance to the cashier. Except instead of choosing what type of foot-​long bread or what meat gets plopped on your tortilla, at Cibo you start by choosing which type of pasta (cavetelli or whole wheat cavetelli made fresh on site, then cooked in front of you). Then you choose one of the 10 sauces available (i.e. marinara, arrabbiata, aglio olio, alfredo, pesto, vongole, vulcano, etc.), the topping (meatball, grilled chicken, veggies, etc.), and then the extras (i.e. Romano cheese, extra cheese, side salad, etc.)
Each stage is priced separately so you can add as little or as much as you want. For example, I had the cavetelli pasta w/​arribiata sauce ($ 4.95) plus a meatball ($ 2.00) plus cheese ($ 0.50) and a fountain drink ($ 1.55) for a total of $ 9.00. My wife partook of one of the day’s special — chicken parmesan w/​pasta (she chose the cavetelli as well but opted for the aglio olio sauce full of roasted garlic) for $ 8.95 plus parmesan cheese ($ 0.50) and drink ($ 1.55) for a total of $ 11.00 for her. (BTW, eggplant was the other special of the day.)
Yes, pricier per-​person than the aforementioned Chipotle and Subway but remember: this isn’t fast food. Plate the same meals up on a fancy charger atop red plaid linen with a candle mounted in a Chianti bottle nearby and you’ll easily be spending $ 16 — $ 22 per-​person for the same fare.
Cibo also offers subs and catering and the TV is tuned to Italian programming.
Next time you’re near Rte 306 & Washington Street (old 422) and hankering for simple yet true Italian flavor, fresh and quick, Cibo is the excellent choice.
