Cibo Trattoria

New restaurant is fantastic. Very open floor plan and much bigger. Great atmosphere.
Food and service was very good as well.
Definitely recommended.

Great place to have dinner. The ambiance is very intimate and the food is delicious.

February 2024: This time when we came into town we made reservations. Since they moved locations they had way more space than last year so I don’t think we actually needed to make reservations but that’s okay because it was still delicious.

We loved the Alfredo with rigatoni last time so we got an order of that plus gnocchi with Alfredo. The kids loved the bread (minus the pesto butter than my younger dubbed “cabbage butter”) and pasta… we all loved the pasta. I would have been okay with more noodles since the gnocchi was good but really thick and filling so next year we will probably just get two orders of the Alfredo and rigatoni noodles.

The server Miss Danny (Danielle) was great. She brought us everything we needed and was super nice.

We are already looking forward to coming back when we visit for Dance Revolution next year.

January 2023:

We stopped by during Dance Revolution at the Benton Convention Center. My girls love Italian food and pasta so we ordered fettuccine Alfredo with rigatoni noodles instead of fettuccine. We did have to order to go since there was no seating until later that night closer to 7:30 (it was 6-6:15 when we arrived and the convention we were going to started at 7 so we couldn’t stay that late. We ended up being able to sit by the window and eat there. Those seats also get reserved as well so we were lucky no one was there.

If we go back I would make reservations since this is the closest Italian food downtown near the convention center. The noodles were good. The sauce was a little more buttery and less cheesy than I was used to but still tasty. We ordered to go and got bread and butter in our bag so that was nice. Overall good, I would go back again but make sure to make reservations. We were from out of town so I didn’t know what was available until we got there and I wasn’t prepared.

My wife and I met with friends at this location. First of all, the food was great. Both appetizers were wonderful however the Wagyu Meatballs were just out of this world! The meat was cooked perfectly, the sauce was amazing. I ordered the special which was Sword Fish, I was not impressed by the flavor as I have had much better Sword Fish before. My wife ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was wonderful, very tasty.
Our friends meal were delicious as well according to them.
We also had a bottle of red wine, Cavaliers D’Oro Chianti which was delicious.

The ambiance was good, a little loud still even though I read that they have done something to minimize the sound at the restaurant.
Our server Rosemary was great and very friendly. You could tell that she was a bit overwhelmed however this did not affect how efficient she was. So kudos to her!!!

Overall the experience was great, good food and service. We will definitely be returning to this location to try other dishes.

Such a delightful place. The food is amazing and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. I’ve been a few times and even just drinking wine at the bar is an experience: I thoroughly enjoy every part of eating here. Alex the bartender is top notch and I believe her name was Tish or Trish checked on us several times to make sure we were good. A++ experience

Phenomenal, all the way across the board. The waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere was totally chill... AND THE FOOD! Beyond expectations.

I got the Tortellini, and my boyfriend got the Prosciutto with a mouth-watering sauce leaning toward the (ever so slightly) sweeter side. Both dishes were divine. Seriously, God-tier goodness.

Finally a great Italian restaurant in this area! We moved here from NY about a year and a half ago and have been a search for good Italian food. Food, service and atmosphere were outstanding! And the prices were reasonable too! We will definitely be back!

Everything was superb. The new location is fabulous. Lots of room and an attractive and pleasant atmosphere. I had fettuccine Alfredo that arrived hot and creamy, my wife and one friend had veal cognac, which they both said was wonderful, and our other friend had pasta pescadore, which he thought was superb. Our server, Kieran (sp?) was attentive and personable. We were visited by two managers who made sure everything was going as expected.
Our meal and experience could not have been better.

Delightful downtown Italian Restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent waitstaff. Wonderful dishes! 100% will return :)

We felt like VIPs, from start to finish. Out Waiter, Alex, was phenomenal. Shout out to Tish at the front, Seth, who brought us our food. Excellent service. Excellent food. We can’t wait to return.

Great spot for dinner, popped in off a recommendation from our hotel and glad we did. Drinks were fantastic and the chicken parm was damn good

Cibo Trattoria Italian restaurant on Trade Street in downtown Winston Salem is one of my favorite places to go. I had the grilled salmon and it was just indescribably good. I’m going to dream about it - I just know it.

I’m going to have to say..... the absolute best meatball appetizer I’ve ever had! The service is impeccable and the customers as well. This is a must, if your traveling through or staying in the Winston-Salem area. The atmosphere is amazing and located downtown with outside seating. The old fashions Justin made at the bar are very refreshing!

Visited this restaurant purely by luck. We walked out of the parking garage in Winston Salem and it was the first place we saw. The restaurant was on the top 10 places to try when we searched earlier in the day and decided to try it. Luck was on our side. The food was amazing and luckily we didn't have a wait. We had a party of 5 and everyone loved everything they received. I personally got the calamari and it was fantastic. Our waitress was great at checking up on us and getting us more bread when needed. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Italian food.

Best Italian in Winston Salem!!! The service is awesome and the food delish couldn’t have asked for a better night out for Italian. And the cannoli’s are amazing and to die for

Really friendly staff, the food and the portions were perfect. I ordered one of the pasta dishes which tasted excellent and fresh. Will definitely come back.

Really great atmosphere and even better food. The meat sauce is amazing- both drinks we tried were fantastic.
Service was perfect. Already want to go back.

We ended up here kind of at chance honestly. We ended up getting a seat at the bar. I could tell they were crazy busy! Alex and YaYa did a PHENOMENAL job at handing us, the many other patrons at the bar, and who knows how many orders coming in from the tables. My wife got a sunsettini and I got a blue cheese Martini. We got the brussel sprouts and the lamb chop. Presentation and preparedness were both excellent. We'll definitely be back!

Great Italian food and very lovely atmosphere. The server at the bar (Sara/Sarah) was very nice and helpful

A guy named Alex was clearing off our table and I left my wallet on the table and he got it back to me. Incredibly honest. Food is incredible. I absolutely appreciate this young man for being honest.
