Reviews for Cibare Italian Kitchen in St. Louis, MO
My first time giving it a try. Absolutely horrible food, very disappointed with the look (unlike the photo in the menu) and... taste. Just curious do the chefs even taste their food before sending it out of the kitchen. I order this carbonara, it wasnot soft, not cook enough or something, with a few lump of meet and cost twenty something dollars. I was hungry but stillcouldn't eat half of it, as it tasted terrible. The disappointment made me feel like throwing up. People don't recommend, butI wanted to experience myself. Well, I won't recommend it neither. Sorry chef. Read more
From the salad to the ravioli to the steaks to the desserts,me and my wife were very pleased with the food served there. The... service was a bit slow as it took awhile from when we finished our salads to when our main entree was served, but apart fromthat it was a good dining experience and we will definitely be back.

The food/wine was good. Service was great. Good people watching. No dress code. Dude sitting next to me was in a t-shirt. Two... stars for the environment. The entire place smells like a the lingering cigarette smoke one may encounter in a rental car. Read more
In our opinion--- Went with friends and family to Cibare for afternoon dinner. Upon being seated, our waitress (finally) came... over to get our drink order. Ordered a water with lemon (lemon never came). Our party kept asking the waitress differentquestions about different selections, to which the waitress kept nodding her head and saying ?yes, yes, yes? over and over. Wehad a question about polenta (what was it), and the foreign-sounding waitress just kept repeating ?uh huh? or ?yes.? We quitasking questions because we thought she did not speak fluent English, so our various questions never got answered. Uponfinishing the meal, the waitress carelessly stacked the plates up high (on top of a full bowl of soup) and promptly half droppedit, splashing the side of 2 of us, our shoes, and my purse. When we paid the bill (2 credit cards), the waitress kept actinglike she had no clue what to do, came back over to us to say she did not know how to run them and that ?she was going to gethelp.? The next day, we find out that the credit card company flagged one of the cards for ?fraud? and closed it. There were 2charges on one card, and 1 charge on another. Plus, the soup grease stain did not come out of my purse (had to go home andclean my jacket, shoes, purse, etc.). Went back to speak with a manager who assured us that this waitress was ?one of the bestshe had,? which led us to wonder why we got such bad service from her. The manager said that we had to ?check with our creditcard company? to see if any charges dropped off AND to get my purse cleaned somewhere and ?they would reimburse me for that.? After following up again with the same manager, we were told that we would NOT RECEIVE A REFUND of this subpar meal, despite thefact that we had to call the credit card company several times, follow up with management several times, and now I have to dealwith getting my designer purse cleaned. In our opinion, AVOID this restaurant?it is not worth the time Read more
We have gone to this establishment a handful of times and always enjoyed our meal. However, our meal last night ruined my entire... out look. Not only did the waiter ignore our table, as in took 15 minutes to acknowledge us while he chatted with all the othertables, gave us glasses of water, didn't offer any other drinks nor fill up our water, but was rude. The steak that was orderedwas very rare when ordered medium. While I ran off to vomit in the restroom, the waiter and manager was rude to my husband. WhenI came back I felt like the waiter was scolding me for not telling him ealier that my steak was raw. If he would of checked onus regularly, he would of been informed sooner. Completely flabbergasted because I have always talked this place up. Now, wewill not be returning. Read more
What I ordered was pretty tasty and I was pleased to see they had gluten-free options. My bf really enjoyed the garlic bread.... Most of our party found the food satisfactory. The service, however, was very sllooww. We were there for someone's bday and hada rather large table. Normally, servers are right on top of a large table...not ours. I think a half hour went by before theycame over to take our orders. I looked around to see if they were short staffed or really busy, but that didn't appear to be thecase. The server seemed slightly scatterbrained. Maybe it is their first job as a server, who knows. It's not a place I wouldchoose, but if I had to for a get-together, that's the only time I'd be back.
