Downtown Hotspots Unveil New Menus for Dine-In, Takeout and Delivery – Cibo and Uva
Well this is good news! We are excited to see Chef Jesse Zuber back in Vancouver and look forward to checking out Uva and Cibo soon.
From the announcement:
Cibo Trattoria and UVA Wine & Cocktail Bar are marking the gradual return of dine-in service at the two downtown hotspots beginning tomorrow, Friday, June 5 by announcing the addition of new Head Chef Jesse Zuber.
Vancouver-born-and-raised Zuber comes to Cibo and UVA after helming kitchens at Ayden Kitchen & Bar and Little Grouse on the Prairie in Saskatoon, helping the latter earn a coveted spot on the annual compilation of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants in 2017. In 2018, Zuber became a familiar face across the nation when he appeared as a contestant on the sixth season of The Food Network Canada’s Top Chef Canada TV series.
At Cibo, Chef Zuber rolls out his new dine-in menus beginning with dinner on June 5, before introducing weekday lunch and weekend brunch services on June 8 and 13, respectively. Guests can also continue to enjoy Cibo’s rustic Italian cuisine in the comfort of their own home (or picnic blanket) by ordering delivery via DoorDash, Skip the Dishes and Uber Eats, or take-out with an additional 20% off all pick-up orders through cibotrattoria.com.
At UVA, those awaiting that first sip of a handcrafted cocktail are in luck, as the wine and cocktail bar is now open for dine- and drink-in service seven days a week from 3 p.m. to midnight and making a select menu of bites and small plates available to complement its award-winning cocktail list and cellar of Old- and New-World wine.
In accordance with the BC Government’s Phase Two reopening protocols, a number of health and safety features including the use of personal protective equipment and social distancing measures have been put in place at both establishments in order to ensure the continued safety of its staff and guests.
“It’s a bit of an odd time to start a new position, but I’ve been so impressed with the amount of passion on display here and the breadth of talent from the front of house to the kitchen and bar,” says Zuber, who brings a penchant for seasonality and a hyper-local focus to his new starring role. “I’m so thrilled to be a part of this amazing team and we can’t wait to welcome old friends and new acquaintances back to our dining room.”
