Cibo is an established Italian restaurant at 3 Russell Gardens, close to Kensington Olympia. Its intimate rooms, Mediterranean character and attentive service give the restaurant the warmth of a neighbourhood favourite, while the carefully prepared food continues to attract diners from across London.
Seafood is a particular strength, appearing in starters such as octopus with green beans and potatoes and pasta filled with crab. Fresh ingredients and confident Italian seasoning allow the natural flavours to lead, whether a dish centres on shellfish, vegetables, cured meat or a simple combination of olive oil and herbs.
Pasta remains central to the experience, with lobster spaghetti in its own sauce among the restaurant’s recognised dishes. Fish changes with availability, while substantial meat choices such as calf’s liver provide an alternative for diners who want to move beyond pasta and seafood.
The wine selection supports the kitchen’s regional Italian approach, and the unhurried pace makes Cibo particularly suited to relaxed dinners and special occasions. Desserts, coffee and petits fours bring the meal to a polished conclusion, reinforcing the generous hospitality for which this long standing Kensington restaurant is known.
