Itap a great day to visit Cibo, the restaurant that just opened in the LoHi neighborhood, because the weather is beautiful and Cibo has a terrific patio at the intersection of 16th and Boulder streets – a seat at the corner table gives a view of the downtown skyline.
Cibo (pronounced chee-bow) is right across from , and a block away from , so there’s lots of activity on the street – perfect for people watching — plus a convenient parking lot across the street ($4 for three hours.)
Cibo is the latest concept from the Big Eats Restaurant Group, which also owns Marg’s World Taco Bistro. The menu features contemporary Italian food with a focus on natural and organic ingredients. The hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas offer build-your-own choices, plus nine other types.
The popular Pizza Rustica is served with asparagus, roasted corn, prosciutto, roasted garlic, ricotta and fresh mozzarella ($11) and there’s also the Squash, a white pizza with smoked and fresh mozzarella, topped with butternut squash, walnuts and kale ($11).

And for carnivores, there is Meat Lovers with fresh pepperoni, sausage, and bacon ($10).
If you’re hungry for hot-pressed panini, choices include the Verdura, with roasted eggplant, artichoke hearts, goat cheese and basil pesto ($9) and the Al Pacino, with Sausalito turkey, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and pepper jack cheese ($10).
Appetizers include braised short ribs ($9), mussels in a Thai curry sauce ($12), and calamari tossed with arugula in a sweet-spicy sauce ($15).
Salads include the Kale Caesar ($11), the Arugula Beet Salad served with goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette ($10), and the Mediterranean, with mixed greens, kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta with a red-wine vinaigrette served in a warm pizza crust ($9).
Cibo, 1560 Boulder St. 720-420-9097
