Cibo

Cibo (pronounced chee-bo, Italian for 'food') is a neighborhood Italian restaurant at SE 35th and Division in Portland, Oregon. We serve authentic Roman-style wood-fired pizza, handmade fresh pastas, grilled meats, and fresh seafood in a warm, welcoming space built around an open kitchen and an imported Ligurian pizza oven, the first of its kind in the United States. Our menu changes with the seasons, built around the best local and imported ingredients we can find. The wood-fired oven at the heart of our kitchen turns out hand-pulled pizzas on thin, blistered crusts, try the fig and prosciutto, the housemade soppressata with Calabrian chilies and honey, or a classic Margherita with fresh basil and imported Italian tomatoes. Our fresh pastas are made daily: rich Pappardelle alla Bolognese, delicate wild mushroom ravioli in porcini cream, and fresh tortelli stuffed with roasted squash and sage brown butter. When it comes to meat, we keep it serious, a Black Angus flat iron steak finished with a four-day veal glaze, a peppercorn-crusted pork tenderloin, and a marinated hanger steak served the way it was meant to be, sliced medium rare with Tuscan fries.
