The GOODS from Cibo Trattoria

Vancouver, BC | In partnership with Tinhorn Creek Vineyards, Cibo is pleased to announce a summer promotion of Monday night Bites and Flights. In addition to the regular menu, Executive Chef Neil Taylor is offering a special bites menu ideal for sharing, mixing or matching. Each Monday will see twenty bites offered – choose any four for just $30.00. Matching flights of Tinhorn Creek wines will also be available for $15.00 and $20.00. But that’s not all – for every selection of bites, wine flight, or glass of Tinhorn Creek wine ordered, diners will receive a ballot to enter a contest to win two nights accommodation at Tinhorn Creek vineyard, an in-room welcome basket with gifts from Cibo and Tinhorn Creek, and one dinner for two.

Once again, Cibo is proud to present a unique dining experience featuring the traditional cuisine of the Lazio region. Come enjoy the bounty of Italy’s most populated region, that includes Rome. Lazio comes from the latin word “latus” which means flat and the land truly is one of flat and gently rolling hills. The rich soil encourages the growth of all kinds of herbs and vegetables.
