23/04/2026: Yesterday we had dinner at Trattoria Cibreo, and it was quite a surprise. But a very negative one.
We went with high expectations because of the reviews and especially because it was listed in the Michelin Guide. It seemed interesting, so we crossed the city's historic center to go there.
But all our enthusiasm was dashed shortly after entering. From the first minute, the service seemed more focused on trying to seat a diverse clientele in a cramped space. Flustered and unfriendly, they brought you a bottle of water and left you waiting for ages... You asked for recommendations from a menu that was seemingly simple and traditionally based, but rather expensive, and they didn't do much to help either. The wine list was short and uninteresting, and also overpriced. No one offered any advice.
The food, served on small plates in meager portions, with an unappealing presentation, barely scraped by. Particularly noteworthy (for being mediocre) was a dish of roast pork loin (arista forno), which consisted of two small, thin, and dry pork fillets hidden beneath a bland mashed potato. 23 euros.
We ordered a couple of red wines (a pinot noir at 8 euros a glass), and they were brought already poured into small, low-quality glasses without any explanation or even showing us what we had ordered. A truly awful touch.
In short, everything was on par with a fairly average eatery, but with high prices. A fairly average dinner for two, meager and of mediocre quality, 93 euros (with two glasses of wine and no dessert).
The mention in the Michelin Guide is completely unjustified. We've never been to a restaurant in the guide that has disappointed us. There's always a first time...
20/04/2026: The quality of the food goes without saying, beautiful local ingredients cooked to perfection. What really struck us was the kindness of the staff. My Mum had fallen just prior to lunch, injuring her wrist, and the wait staff spared no time bringing a hurriedly-fashioned ice compress and even examining her wrist themselves. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
