Invite me to your dinners…please?
As you know, I love a good media dinner—I get to try a new restaurant, product, or whatever while I schmooze with some of my colleagues that I rarely see in the flesh as we’re all tucked away, behind our computers. And my experience at Cibo e Vino in early May had followed suit. We had some lovely food, wine, cocktails, and company all in a rustic romantic kind of setting.
Now, this was not actually my first time in the restaurant. After seeing Crazy Rich Asians with a couple of fellow Upper West Side writers, Zoe Samuel and her husband, Mark Philip Lichtenstein, we had brunch at this very spot. But if I’m being completely honest, we were having such good conversation that I barely remembered the meal. So I was excited to come back with a more focused purpose, and to get to try a variety of their offerings.
A Spring Feasting
When we first arrived we were treated to some shared plates and passed hors d’oeuvres that, for the most part, can also be found on their regular menu which is good news for you! The one thing I’m unsure about is the chilled asparagus soup that was very refreshing.
