June is Italian Heritage Month. As a celebration to Mangia! Vancouver Cibo Trattoria has curated a special three course menu for $38 per person. The menu is selection is well rounded and offers a good mix of vegetables, protein and pasta choices.

 

Insalata Caprese: To start, we ordered this classic Italian salad with mozzarella di bufula, tomato, arugula and aged balsamico. I love how clean and fresh the ingredients are. Another Primi option was minstrone with nettle pesto and crispy ceci beans.

Bistecca: Never have we had second thoughts about the secondi - grilled beef flat iron, salsa verde, tomato conserva, black garlic bagna cauda. Tender and perfectly cooked.

 

Tiramisu "Cibo": deconstructed tiramisu with molten chocolate brownie nubs, marsala and espresso bitters.

 

For those dining with friends and family, you all do not need to order the same Mangia! set menu. If you please you can also pick from their a la carte menu like we did and share everything!

 

Pacific Octopus 14: marinated in preserved lemon and smoky chilies. Served with new potatoes and almonds. Refreshing and ever so tender.

 

Tagliatelle alla Bolognese 20: One of my favorite pastas from Cibo is this slow cooked pork and beef ragu filled with tomato and parmigiano-reggiano.

 

 

I'm so glad I got to try this new menu before baby arrives. We're all looking forward to a new season and the upcoming Fall Menu!
