Cibo Reopens in Regent Square

After nearly a year-long hiatus, Regent Square’s Cibo has reopened its doors with a new menu, and a new chef leading the kitchen.

Chef Jennifer Buehler Burfield, who did stints at Cure and Portland’s Lauro Kitchen, will be serving up classic Italian dishes, including polenta, venison carpaccio, and half-shares of pastas,  at the BYO neighborhood Trattoria.

The restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
