Cibo 27th anniversary deals and more

In a media anniversary event, Forés admits she "really didn't know what she was doing" when she first opened Cibo. "I really just wanted to cook with you guys and share whatever I learned from Italy with the Philippines. Who would've thought it'd be able to grow this much in 27 years?" Grow they did, as the brand now has more than 20 branches across Metro Manila plus outposts in Cebu and Bacolod.

Cibo's regulars continue to go back for their consistently al-dente pasta; pizzas with simple but high-quality toppings that make for memorable bites; salads and sandwiches brimming with fresh ingredients; meaty mains; and more—all as conducive to refueling post-shop sesh at the mall as they are for a casual date. And in celebration of their 27th year since debuting in 1997, Cibo's got special deals you don't want to miss this August and in the coming months.
