About Us

Cibo

pronounced ( chee - bo ), meaning food in Italian.

  We are the married owners, Jonathan Santini and Olivia Torretta Santini.

Our journey together began in Rome more than 7 years ago. 

Jonathan being a Roman citizen, and Olivia being an American student abroad,

met by chance at Campo Di Fiori in the center of Rome -

more specifically outside of “The Drunken Ship”, an American bar in the heart of Rome.

Olivia remained in Italy for several years

experiencing all that Rome and it’s culture have to offer - cafe's, food, music, art, history, and best of Italian cuisine. 

Shortly after marrying in 2014, we realized our dream was to bring a taste of that lifestyle, 

along with Roman casual street food, home to Wakefield.

We opened Cibo Cafe and Bistro - 

keeping our love for everything Roman and combining American tastes.

Cibo became and remains a place to enjoy great food, coffee, espresso, wine, beer,

Italian cordials, and great company.

 We, Jonathan and Olivia,

believe that dining in our cafe is an experience that is more than just a meal. 

Cafe's in Rome bring people together, and we absolutely love to see our customers brought together 

while enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner in our cafe.

​

Enjoy a glass of Italian wine or an Italian beer. 

Dine in the evening with an antipasto or a flatbread pizza.

Come sit on our outside patio and enjoy an authentic cappuccino.

Our menu is sure to have something for everyone.

 If dining out does not work for you, non ti preoccupare - we are partnered with Uber Eats and Grubhub, 

giving you the option for delivery to  your home or office.
