IWhen Filipinos think of Italian cuisine and dining, one of the very first restaurants that would come to mind is probably CIBO. For those with a blistering love for Italian cuisine, there’s nothing like tucking into a comforting plate of CIBO’s finest bites. This year, as they celebrate their anniversary, they’re offering an irresistible treat you wouldn’t want to miss!

The CIBO Love

From its humble beginnings in 1997 as a venture opened by Chef Margarita Forés, CIBO’s legacy has grown well into its title as the OG of exceptional Italian dining in the Philippines. Now with multiple branches all over the country, CIBO continues to set the standard for Italian cuisine, bringing a slice of Italy to every table.

The secret to keeping their doors open? CIBO has only continued to grow with their patrons. Even after all these years, their commitment to quality food speaks to the passion and dedication that first put CIBO on the map. And it’s not just the food that’s stayed consistent—many of CIBO’s loyal customers and dedicated staff have been integral to their growth and success, creating a community of people who appreciate authenticity and excellence in all things food.

CIBO kicked off their anniversary festivities with a big bang by celebrating at their newly-opened branch at The Podium in Mandaluyong. The grand opening featured special stories of the 27-year journey of CIBO and their fellow team, a nostalgic gallery full of the chain’s achievements & milestones over the years, and a delicious dinner of dishes featured in CIBO’s 27 List stamp card.

Linya-Linya, known for their relatable Filipino-themed merchandise, provided the witty designs for the charming CIBO t-shirts and tote bags.
