Award-Winning Restaurant Serves Authentic Italian Fare

Cibo Trattoria, the award-winning Italian eatery in downtown Vancouver’s chic Moda Hotel, is serving a taste of Tuscany. Executive Chef Neil Taylor and his talented kitchen brigade have used fine, fresh ingredients to craft a three-course menu that promises to transport guests to the idyllic Italian region.

Available until February 6 in addition to the regular a la carte menu, guests will savour three courses beginning with a choice of ribolita – soup of cannellini beans, bread, kale and extra-virgin olive oil — or chicken-liver Toscana served with house-made pickles and bruschetta. The main course features include: cacciucco, a Tuscan fish stew of rock cod, mussels, clams, octopus, tomato and chilli; tagliata di manzo, a marriage of skirt steak, cannellini beans, rosemary and green peppercorns; and pici, hand-rolled Tuscan spaghetti with pork ragu and pecorino. The grand finale is panforte – spiced fruit and nut cake — or chocolate nemesis river café.

Cibo Trattoria’s three-course Tuscan menu is $35 + tax per person, available in addition to the regular a la carte menu until February 6, 2011.

Located off the Moda Hotel lobby, Cibo Trattoria specializes in authentic Italian cuisine made with same-day fresh and local ingredients. Cibo’s unique list of decadent yet light dishes has been created by celebrated Executive Chef Neil Taylor, to provide Vancouverites and visitors to downtown Vancouver with a truly distinctive dining experience. With handpicked wine collections of varied and unique vintages, guests are ensured an exquisite wine pairing to complement their sumptuous meal. Cibo was voted EnRoute Magazine and Where magazine’s Best New Restaurant in Canada in 2009.

Cibo Trattoria is open for dinner nightly from 5:00pm Monday to Saturday and located off the Moda Hotel Vancouver lobby at 900 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC. For more information please call 604-602-9570 or visit:
