Cibreo Italian Kitchen

Nice quiet intimate place. I was a lil upset that we didn't offered Parmesan cheese like the couple next to us.... Food ok a lil dry I asked for extra sauce thank goodness but it came out more like soup lol Bathroom clean the older lady a host was very polite

Update: stopped in again before a play. Different bartender; same experience. Took a long time to get acknowledged let alone served a drink. I noticed it with all new guests that sat down. Had apps and split the shrimp tortellini which was really good. What bothered us the most was looking at the mess up and down the bar. I know it's crunch time w checking people out before the play - but it doesn't take much time to pull a dish and put it under the bar. Just not enticing when you're eating dinner. Pics attached.

Came here before seeing Hairspray at the Connor theater. We had 5:45 reservations for 8 people. We let our server Watson know we were going to the 7:30 show. No problem. We had cocktails starters and coffee and plenty of time to walk across the street. This was a lovely restaurant decorated nicely. They have a lovely bar and an entrance from the back We parked at 17 th and prospect and it was all very convenient. The old fashion was nicely done. My husband and I so,it the banana peppers and eggplant parmigiana. They brought two plates with the meal split. Perfect. We would've had leftovers otherwise so it was just right. Really great venue for a group before the show !Definitely will be back. Watson was awesome too!

I have driven past this place so many times it's kind of ridiculous. A friend and I came here after work for dinner.The atmosphere is intimate and it was dim but not too dim. We started off with the bruschetta which was fine. We got a caesar salad to split and I went with the chicken marsala. The chicken with the sauce were very tasty and the polenta was also lovely and well paired.Our server was lovely and attentive without being overbearing. The prices were a bit pricey but it's downtown so take that as you will. We had a great time.

A tail of Speed dating cold Sauceless Lasagna. I caution anyone ordering Lasagna at this restaurant. It arrived cold with little Italian sauce. Adding insult to injury, I Asked for sauce and was charged an additional $1.50 on top of a $25 poorly reheated oven bowl of lasagna! A pretty petty thing to do on a $100 - $125 evening meal for two. The bread was horribly stale. Three courses (appetizer, salad, dinner meal) were rushed out one after the other before we could finish each dish was completed as if we were speed dating our food. On a good note the ambience is great, the staff is polite, manager needs training on dealing with disappointed customers leading a helping hand with honest criticism, no mam, it wasn't our fault!

Came here for dinner before watching a show. Service staff were nice and attentive. We got bread with a great pesto dip and butter. Really enjoyed the appetizers. We got the bruschetta and mozzarella sticks. The marinara sauce was flavorful. The bolognese was hearty and good potion size. The salad and the saffron rice was a letdown. Also wasn't too impressed with their take on the tiramisu for dessert. Overall, glad I came to try it out but was a mediocre experience for me.

Excellent option for a group dinner ahead of an event at Playhouse Square. We made a 5:00p reservation for a party of six and the restaurant was full by 5:30p, 6:00p. Pleasant atmosphere and lighting. Server was polite and efficient, but not terribly social or friendly. Food around the table was outstanding, including the tiramisu, although my chicken parmesan was a bit overcooked. Total bill for two entrees, a glass of wine, a shared dessert, and tip was $92.

Okay good, but weird atmosphere. The decor is very early 2000's Tuscan Italian which is dated in todays time. Definitely would appeal to an older generation but would hardly consider this a posh Italian restaurant. It is on the threshold of being considered fine dining. The service was okay, our waitress was attentive but I noticed some unprofessional waitstaff. Some were yelling across the restaurant to the bar looking for a guy named Andrew. There was also a taller bald gentleman on the wait staff who was very very poorly dressed. Dress shirt was untucked, messy unkempt beard and his tie was hardly considered presentable. We came at 6:00 on a Sunday and towards the end of dinner it felt like they were rushing everyone to finish up so they could leave early. The menu was quite simple which was nice, we ordered the Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Piccata and it was just okay. Better than Olive Garden Italian but hardly would consider great Italian. It was simple not sophisticated. Overall I struggle to see how this restaurant is rated $$$ and would likely go elsewhere next time.

Stopped in for dinner before a show at Connor Palace. Ordered the Italian salad and chicken piccata. The salad was drenched in what seemed like bottled salad dressing. The waiter did notice and this was removed from our bill. Chicken piccata was dry and honestly seemed like yesterday's meal warmed in a microwave. Coffee did not seem fresh brewed and was foamy and luke warm... most likely from an expresso machine. We will be back to see another show but will be carefully reading reviews to make a better dinner selection. With a little effort the meal could be improved. The restaurant atmosphere is nice and location is perfect for theater goers.

Our waitress messed up the orders, one of which couldn't even be eaten. When Manager was called he advised that on Broadway nights the kitchen won't adjust an order the entrees are as is. This would have been fine if waitress had told my friend that instead of bringing a meal she couldn't eat. They made no accommodation for any of this. 3 of us ordered the Bolognese and it was watery and had no flavor. I would never recommend going here.
