“as a retired Chef I give it 5 out of 5 stars. great food and sweet tea. I love a good sandwitch and this place beats subways outright. I had the Black Angus club really yummy. If you want great food thats light and fast and fresh eat here. Chef Terry L White.“
“If you haven't tried the cinnamon crunch, you have missed out on a good part of life. Love this place... last time i was a little bit sad to see the dining area in some disarray. I'm guessing they were understaffed. Got the avocado sourdough melt and it was just heavenly with the tomato soup!“
“I love the ever changing menu. The different smells and flavors you get from this food. It is very inventive and beautiful.

“My partner and I went there on a date night a few months back.Cibo Vino is kinda mid, in my opinion.It relies on its wine selection and location to appeal to people, and the food kinda falls short. Lemme tell you why.It’s on one of the busier intersections in the Old Market, just across the street from Upstream and La Buvette. The ambience is lovely. Low, intimate lighting with a lot of really cool artwork and decor. The bar is beautifully designed, and our bartender was cool.Good selection of wine, and not too terribly priced if you’re getting it by the glass.Food and plating, however, was what made it mid.For a restaurant in a prime location serving food that’s anywhere from 25-35 bucks a plate, you’d expect some diversity in the flatware with a little bit of artful plating. Every dish came out on the same size plate, tossed onto the middle of it with no real thought.We got two slices of their rosemary focaccia for an appetizer, and it tasted like they had thrown a bunch of rosemary onto the fire before they grilled it. The flavor of rosemary was almost overpowering, bordering on bitter. Good texture and crunch, but Jesus was it herby.We got their bucatini amatriciana to split as well, and here is where the ‘real’ review of their food begins.While the ingredients of the dish were all there, they weren’t really combined. The pasta was cooked well, but there was next to no starch in the actual pasta. This tells me one thing: cheap pasta. It felt as if they’re just ordering large quantities of pasta from Sysco, par cooking it before service, then reheating in boiling water to sell. As a result, the ingredients of the sauce; the tomatoes, the guanciale, and the pecorino cheese, didn’t really have anything to bond them together. The basis of flavor was there, but the execution and prep work kinda blew it. Could use more salt, as well.For mains, we had the lemon chicken piccata and the hunter’s chicken cacciatore.Chicken piccata was flavorful and cooked well. The lemon was bright and delicious, but the sauce had slightly split. This tells me it was either unattended to on the line, or it cooled down while waiting to be brought to the table. However, my issue with the pasta arises once more. It felt like the penne it was served with was par cooked prior to service, reheated, and dumped onto a plate with the piccata coming off of sauté and on top of it all. The lack of starch was apparent. The pasta and sauce weren’t married very effectively, and it felt like I had to dip the pasta in the sauce to get an effective bite. Flavors were good -fantastic even- but the execution is where it lacks.Cacciatore was delicious. Flavor was fantastic, and the chicken was juicy and tender. HOWEVER, the sauce was missing something. The flavors were there, but the texture fell short. The mushrooms were canned, or at least it felt like they were. Now, I understand it is impossible to acquire fresh porcini mushrooms year round, but this is where you have to ADAPT. If porcinis aren’t available, switch to a fresh mushroom you can get quickly. Cremini would be fine, and those things can grow year round indoors. The mushroom gravy was tasty, if a bit lacking in salt. But the real star of the show was the polenta. It was blended beautifully with the pecorino, and was light, creamy, and fluffy. Good stuff.Dessert was the panna cotta. No complaints. Tasty and delicious.Overall, I have one main criticism for Cibo Vino:Make your own pasta.The experience was lovely, but I can tell that the main focus of the restaurant is shifted towards the wine, considering the chef was sitting two tables over speaking to a pair of sommeliers/wine dealers(?) as opposed to running expo.The food feels like an afterthought. Like someone decided to open a wine bar but said: “I need to serve food too!” The menu is classic Italian pasta fare, and somehow, they’ve managed to just barely miss the mark.I will say again; Cibo Vino, make your own damn pasta.“
“Ventured out to downtown this evening and stopped for the first time.I had the Italian club, broccoli soup, took some buffalo subs and a buffalo pizza home for my kids and husband. Everything was delicious and awesome customer service by everyone working there tonight. You got a new customer and will be back for sure. Can’t wait to try other items from the menu.“
“My husband and I stopped by here while visiting Omaha. I was absolutely impressed by the service from our waitress Jennifer, inviting atmosphere and striking yet flavorful food. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and will definitely be back for more during my next trip.Vegetarian options: Veggies skyscraper“
“I went there yesterday when we couldn't get into the Taphouse for lunch with a group of colleagues. It was so good I went back today. Very high quality food, and big portions, delicious. My only suggestion is maybe the name/branding isn't great - I work across the street and walked by many times and just thought it was a cafeteria-style place where I was going to get mashed potatoes, green beans, etc. Had no idea is was a quality 'bowl' place! Very clean inside and friendly too; but can't say it has atmosphere though.“
“Great classic deli. I've probably gone to Manhattans on and off for over 5 years and this place just gets better. Location: please note this is currently in the Woodman Building. Tell the security at the front you want to go to Manhattan Deli and they'll give you a sticker, let you in, and it's on the 5th floor. There's a lot of seating. Food: It's a lot of basics but their menu just keeps getting better. Most recently they did crispy chicken in their salads which are so good. Pretty much any sand which toasted is also good. I also love their soups. I go here a lot and over the past several years I can only think of 2 times it wasn't as good as expected. The downside is that this can be busy during lunchtime because there's limited good options in the area, but this place is always a good basic my co-worker and I like to go to.“
“Stopped in for lunch on a whim as this place was right around the corner from my hotel and boy am I glad I did! That was a tasty sandwich!! Got the Italian, daily special, and it was delicious! May try to drop back in before I leave. The guys who work there were very friendly as well!! Thank you!!“
“I should have paid better attention, the "in training" associate was amazing. The staff as a whole was great but I really appreciated him taking a moment to make small talk when bringing my food and when helping me with my refill.“
“I’m vegetarian and usually sandwich shops just don’t hit the spot, but I LOVE this place. I had it once and now I genuinely cannot go anywhere else. I would eat it every meal of every day if I could. The bread is always fresh and soft, and the fries are amazing. If you haven’t tried this place, you are missing out and you NEED to try it! Shoutout to Kevin, he always makes the BEST sandwiches!“
“I went here with a friend on a weekday morning. The city has spent a LOT of money building up the downtown area in the last few years. This business is just the cherry on top. It is connected/adjacent to the Luminarium. Fig is very open with high ceilings. There is great views from every vantage point of the riverfront and the nearby playground. I had a cortado to drink and then the daily quiche which featured chorizo with potatoes, cilantro, and onion. It came a small salad with vinaigrette. You order at the counter and then given a number. I don't know if it's required; but I then bussed my own dishes. The space is quite nice. I got the feeling that, probably because it's so new, that they are still working out some issues. I don't think I would make a trip specifically here since it's kind of out of the way. But, if I'm ever in the area, I would try it again.“
“I want to give this place 4 stars mainly for the price, otherwise it's a homerun. The salad bar is excellent, the service amazing, the meats, so good. But with dessert, tax, and tip it was nearly $175 for 2 people. I wish I would have fasted for a day or so , so I could really work on getting my money's worth. Make sure you do before you come. Everything here is worth tasting but you'll want to be properly full when you get the bill. A tip to save a little, you can get $20 off coupon by signing up for their mailing list. You can buy $50 gift cards for $40 at Sam's and Costco. But these two things can't be combined. So one or the other.Parking: There is limited street parking out front or a parking garage a block away. We lucked out on a spot 30' from the door on a Sunday.“
“Wow! Excellent food AND service! I'm pretty positive the manager was walking around topping off drinks tonight. And that's wonderful to see management helping out their staff! We were asked how the food was multiple times by multiple people. I have never been to an Olive Garden where the bread sticks were so hot and fresh. The food was hot, fresh, and service was fast! I am visiting the area this week and wouldn't normally go out of my way to leave a review. But my meal was wonderful and I had to give credit where credit is due!“
