Perched in the heart of the burgeoning hip district of Sherwood Parks’ Baseline Road (nestled between the new Joey’s and by the opening-soon Local) Via Cibo is the zippy Italian cousin to Burger’s Priest, the wildly successful Edmonton restaurant opened by the same owners in 2015.
Via Cibo uses a counter service model for ordering Italian fare and their well-edited selection of beer and wine. Simply decide between the pesto penne or the rose shrimp linguine, pay up and they give you a number to bring to your table. Food is hot, immaculately plated and authentic. Via Cibo’s vibe is big-city cool with large filament-style bulbs and a black/white/polished steel/red colour scheme. Best of all, the pasta comes out fast and hot. Be sure to finish off with a scoop of gelato.
It’s like eating at Nonna’s house, minus the cheek pinching. — Miranda Post
