>компютриou want to get away from the traditional Belden Villiage mass marketed chain restaurant, Cibos is the place to go. Housed in an old theater and having the kitchen run by a gaggle of old italian grandmas is the way to do it. It is true that you have to like italian food and you also have to like italian food the old fashioned way. My husband and I shared the Cibos Dinner, which is more that enough for two people at a low price of $25.95. We had rolls with butter, beverages, cheesesticks, one bowl of soup, one bowl of salad, lasagna, meat ravioli, cheese ravioli, spaghetti, rigatoni, cavatelli, chicken, baked steak, veal parmesean and an eclair. We had plenty to eat and still took some home in a box. Most of the fried foods are pretty plain and nothing special but the prices are low and the servings are huge. The taste of homemade pasta isn’t something that you can get just anywhere any more. It alone is probably what I likes the best.

Let me start off by saying that I’m not that big a fan of Italian food, so you’re probably safer completely ignoring this here review. And now that I’ve gone through the routine of getting any reader to ignore what I have to say so that I can write in peace, here’s my review of Cibo’s:

Jimmy’s is relatively new to the area and I had gone in with my mother for lunch some few weeks ago, and resolved to go back with the review crew. I called ahead and spoke to Jimmy about accommodations because i did have some reservations about seating for our ample bellied selves. He was quick to assure me there would be plenty of room and looked forward to seeing us. When we arrived, we had a series of tables in a row reserved for us and the waitress was on the ball. The place, which as far as eateries in Belden Village go, is small and it was hopping but she kept us happy and put up with us. It wasn’t so loud to be obnoxious, though I have a feeling some of the other patrons around thought -we- might of been! I had the manicotti, which was very very good - the noodles were home made even. My only complaint was that when we were done, I was still a little hungry! Cost wise, it’s very good for what you get. Overall, a good experience and I would be glad to go back. Staff and owner alike are very friendly and eager to sit down with you and chat.
John’s is a local haunt that’s been around a good long time. They’re known for steaks and seafood and of course, alcohol. I had been there before with family awhile ago so it was nice to go back. The decor of the place is pretty standard - wood and low but ample lighting. The main restaurant is sectioned off from the main bar which helps to cut down on noise. The tables we were seated at were pushed together to make one long table but there seemed to be enough room for our group. The service was good, if I recall and I had a rack of ribs and my god, what a rack it was. I couldn’t finish it, that’s for sure. The over all cost of the meal was expected, a little on the expensive side but it is considered fine dining in the area. I wouldn’t mind trying lunch there some time.
I am having a pretty hard time figuring out how to rate this restaurant. As my husband put it…”it was neh.” The inside of the restaurant was well decorated, well lit and perky. The noise level was terrible due to the all wood interior. The waitress had us memorize a number so she could keep the check orders correct. I had the Garlic Bread for an appetizer. It was better than average but it was a very small portion. I tried one of my donkey wings and just didn’t like them. I must say that the wing tasted like ass. No pun intended. It was hot with no dominate flavor. I had the white pizza with diced tomatoes, chicken, mushrooms and 2 cheeses. Again, it was average with no defining tastes. At the beginning of our ordering of the food, I ordered an expensive martini which only arrived after I asked for it again after 45 minutes. I might have e njoyed the food better if I would have had my drink! The staff was charming and the company was good! (The company is always good!) This place is just no match for my favorite Winking Lizard or even my second favorite BW3’s. There was nothing in particular that would draw me back into the restaurant. For the price, I have had much better meals elsewhere!
