Located across the street from the Orpheum Theatre, and in the heart of Vancouver’s entertainment district, Cibo Trattoria has become a destination for pre-theatre and pre-event dining. Starting January 12, and throughout the month of January, Cibo Trattoria will be showcasing its special Pre-Theatre menu by giving guests the option to try it all evening long.

Until the end of January, diners at Cibo can choose from Cibo’s regular menu, or take advantage of the special $38 Pre-Theatre prix fixe, which is normally offered every day from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The Pre-Theatre menu not only offers diners three courses, but also gives them the opportunity to select either a starter, main course and dessert; or a starter, main course and side dish.
