Shocking experience with verbally aggressive staff - Edit
We were eager to try out Cibo, as it had good reviews. We got there at 7:15 pm, which is when the waitress had said earlier in the day that they opened - although the sign said 7:00 pm.
Read moreAs we approached the restaurant, a man who was sitting on a bench next to the entrance was vaping. As we approached, he said hello, and got up as we entered the restaurant. It turned out that this was the cook.
Seeing as we are quite sensitive to smoking, this wasn't a good sign for us. I don't understand how a cook would sit in front of his own restaurant smoking or vaping. To us, it is a sign of disrespect to customers.
When we entered, the waitress asked us if we wanted to sit outside. We were hoping to sit inside, because we want to avoid second-hand smoke while eating, as it ruins our appetite.
The waitress asked us again if we wanted to sit outside, and we said that we could have a look. She then took us out onto a pedestrian street with many passersby. We wanted to avoid this, because we know that there might be someone smoking in the area.
When I mentioned this to the waitress, she said that the inside area was closed. I asked: "So, outside is the only option?" She said yes.
Having no choice, we sat down (there were no other guests yet), but after a few seconds we noticed that there was a young man nearby smoking, and the wind blew everything to us. When the waitress came back, we told her about this and she looked annoyed. She asked if we wanted to sit inside, we said yes, and she headed back to the restaurant without really waiting for us.
When we got to the restaurant, she was complaining to the chef about us. Hearing her like that, we decided that we did not want to have dinner there. We gave her back the menu and said that we would come back some other time. Then she complained to the chef again.
When we walked out of the restaurant, both the chef and the waitress came out as well. The chef looked at us and made a sign with his hand towards his head as if we were crazy. At the same time, the waitress used the word 'cazzo', which is the Italian version of 'f*ck'. We were in shock!
From the moment that we got to the restaurant, we felt that the waitress was unfriendly and opinionated, and this culminated in her use of a swear word for us to hear.
We will file a complaint to the owners of Cibo, as such employees are the opposite of what veganism is all about: love, caring and kindness.
Pros: We never got to eat the food
Cons: Vile, verbally aggressive waitress, Disrespectful, smoking chef, No indoor seating?

Great restaurant! - Edit
Cibo has been the first all-vegan restaurant I’ve come across on my trip to Italy (we aren’t staying in any of the major cities). It did not disappoint! Some of the dishes were good, and some were great. I really loved the black rice in coconut sauce w/ asparagus. We also tried the spring rolls, bbq tofu, and fusilli pasta. For dessert I had the tiramisu con crema caffe. The tiramisu was AMAZING - by far my favorite thing I had. I haven’t had tiramisu since my pre-vegan days, over six years ago.
Read moreAlso, if you’re a gin&tonic fan, theirs is amazing. They have fever tree tonic here, which I didn’t realize existed outside of the US. Delicious.
Pros: All vegan! Wide variety of food types, Delicious desserts, Good portions
Cons: A bit pricey

Nice vegan restaurant! - Edit
I had a great time at Cibo today, food was nice and my desert amazing! The price of the food is understandable and worth it. What I found a bit disappointing was that you have to pay 2€ for your "dishes" and 1,5€ for regular tap water. Appart from that, really nice 😊

l'Oasi nel deserto - Edit
Nella capitale dell'ambiente che di tutela dell'ambiente sa poco o nulla, dopo paste asciutte da discount e distese di ristoranti tutti uguali e tutti ugualmente cimiteriali, ci siamo rifugiati in un Cibo a 30km dal nostro hotel per sentirci un pò a casa e abbiamo anche scoperto sapori nuovi nei primi piatti che riporto in foto.

Tasty vegan restaurant - Edit
Cibo is a very welcome addition to the beautiful town of Aosta and it’s only fully vegan restaurant. I go skiing in Valle d’Aosta at least twice a year and the vegan offerings are pretty much non-existent. So I was really excited to try this restaurant and wasn’t disappointed. The food was all fresh , creative and homemade although it was a little pricey (100 euros for two starters, two mains and twice glasses of wine ) but it was New Years Eve so for that evening , the price was understandable. Really enjoyed the simple ambience and food and will definitely be coming back. #Veganuary

We really enjoyed the tasting menu and the predominantly Italian vegan food. I loved the vegan panna cotta! The owner was very friendly too and made the effort to communicate with us in English.

Excellent dinner on outside patio with view of the mountains - Edit
Recommend tasting menu for dinner. Best value for money. A la carte dinner requires ordering the whole range of courses as portions are not particularly large and a main dish on itself does not constitute a whole meal (may consist, for example, of seitan slices and courgette). June 2022: tasting menu cost Euro 40. For a couple that's not too hungry, a la carte may be slightly cheaper. Superb dining that more than warrants the price.

Ottimo - Edit
Ottimo ristorante. Ho mangiato un primo (ottima la salsa di noci) e assaggiato quello dei miei commensali (noodles orientali). Entrambi deliziosi. Molto buone anche le chips di patate con maio veg e i biscottini di pandizenzero. Ambiente curato, personale gentile. Prezzi da ristorante, ma ogni tanto ne vale la pena.

A hidden gem in the city center - Edit
The only vegan restaurant in Aosta is inside a courtyard in one of the pedestrian streets of the city center. It’s a bit dark because there’s not a lot of natural light coming from the few windows but the interior design was nice. I had lunch a bit late for the northern Italian standards (14.30) and the only other people having lunch there were a family coming also from Switzerland. :)

Great vegan food in beautiful surroundings - Edit
We had the provencal tempeh and the steamed veggies with fried tofu. Which we’d definitely recommend. We ate outside with view on the old church tower and the mountains in the near distance. Very friendly service, too!

Food so so - Edit
Friendly waitress, but the food wasn’t a 4 to 5 stars level. Salad with fruit contained too much lemon and grapefruit for my taste and almost no veggies. Falafel tasted okay but not like falafel and mayonnaise is not the right sauce in my opinion. The curry tasted quite nice, but rice was missing.

Atmosphere not very good, food mixed - Edit
The atmosphere was not very good, since the room of this restaurant is very dark and it was very hot, even though outside it wasn't. The waitress offered us the worst table at the place when we arrived even though the restaurant way empty. We asked for another and she cleared a table where guests have left. All the other tables where people have left have not been cleaned for the entire time we have been there, which was weird.
Read moreMy husband did enjoy his pasta, even though the presentation could improve. My rice noodles with vegetables have been really oily and too salty. It felt like they have been from a cheap chinese take away.
All in all not our best experience.
Maybe they could set up some tables outside, that would improve the experience a lot.

Avoid !!! Éviter !! - Edit
We visited this restaurant in last February and it was the worst vegan place we ever experienced !!
Read moreThe owner charged us 87 euro for food that was too cooked and too salty with no taste at all !
I have had the opportunity to travel in many cities and taste wonderful vegan food in the world and meeting with very open minded restaurant manager that were happy to share their love for food but this manager was really aggressive and did not accept any comments about the food they served us !
Please do not spend your money at this restaurant . There are other places where you can find good food and good service

Worst vegan restaurant EVER, don't waste your time there! - Edit
Food with no flavor! Too dry almost burn. Lasagna was the worst (sauce has been completely absorb by the pasta ans the top was dry and burn) and when we tell the staff, they say that it is normal??? We asked for a different plate and didn't eat the lasagna. The other plate was rice noodles too salty with some veggies... For dessert, they suggested a tiramisu within saying that it was just a type of strawberry shortcake. When the time to pay arrived, we realized that we have been charged for two plates each (for the lasagna and the replacement plate, witch nobody told us about) and the lady at the cash who is the owner says: You have to pay for both, because it is not MY PROBLEM if you didn't like the food" NEVER in our life, we experienced such a disrespectful attitude in a restaurant. A shame for all the vegan in the world who try to make the world a better place. PLEASE DON'T ENCOURAGE THAT TYPE OF ATTITUDE AND DON'T GO THERE!"
