    The food was delicious! I got the antipasti salad with grilled chicken instead of cured meat. There was a lot of cheese in my salad, enough to take back and eat with crackers, too. Service was good as well, I think we will be back to try more of their menu items. Ambiance was family-friendly.

    Food was quick to the table, the service was friendly and inviting and the food was really good. We got to the ham and cheese calazone and fried Buffalo chicken hoagie with the best fries I've eaten in a while! They also serve amazing rolls, with even better honey butter as a starter while waiting. Will definitely be back and recommending.

    OMG - over the top! The food is absolutely amazing. The Chicken Parmesan came with a nice personal touch specifically for you from the chefs. The rolls and cinnamon butter is spectacular. The bar is open and they serving up great cocktails or your favorite beer. Absolutely the BEST hands down. It’s so good your tongue will slap you in the brains. Come and treat yourself to fine italian dining. A place where you’re treated like part of the family.

    Let me start by saying. Wow, just wow. The staff was so friendly. So me and the family came down for a visit and was not disappointed. Was greeted with smiles from the moment we stepped in. We of course came down for the pizza that we have been hearing so much about. Devon was the first to greet us within a moment after being sat we were greeted by our Waitress Brittany. The pizza was amazing, cooked perfectly, the taste was just like back home in Jersey. The blonde manager came over and gave us some of their new cannoli fritters. Great experience overall.

    With the arrival of Chef Hunter Papa Cibos has become a go to restaurant in Rocky Mount. The food is truly top notch. Kayla made some amazing drinks and Nichole provided excellent service.

    Small little Italian spot i always pass by, so I decided to stop in. I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza is so good. Fresh dough and the toppings taste fresh, just very good. I tried the veggie pizza and the fried ravioli. Prices are not that bad, and I always leave with enough to take home. The waitress is very nice and attentive. Atmosphere could use a little boost, but I sort like that it's low-key sort of my lunch dip off spot.
