Cibo Italian Subs

I used to love this place in the old location, the food was simply fantastic. The current high rating reflects the old location, not the current one: the positive reviews were transferred to the new location when it opened up. The new location near the riverside on the square started off really good, essentially offering takeaway versions of top hits from the previous menu. However, the current state is quite bad. While I understand that the new location is quite expensive and prices are going up for everything it is no excuse to give such a mediocre sandwich for more than £10. I included pictures of a sandwich in their old location (on the plate), and the current version of the same sub (in the paper wrapper) shocking really. The filling is scarce and lower quality. The bread is definitely the worst part of the new sandwiches. Before, they were warm and tender yet crispy and full of sourdough-ish flavour that soaks up the delicious sauces and pestos in the sub. Currently, it resembles cheap bread with additives, it has NO flavour. The crust doesn’t crisp up anymore, it is so tough that when you bite on the sandwich the fillings spill out (despite there not being all that much inside anymore…) I simply cannot recommend the location anymore, Subways has better value and flavour at this rate and I’m not exaggerating. I truly wish the best for the new spot, and I did hold off on changing my review from glowing to negative, but enough time had passed and nothing changed for the better.

Was very disappointed. Very overrated. Had two different subs the chicken Parm just tasted too much of pesto and the piece of chicken was very thin and over crispy. Then the special burger sub, and it tasted identical to a Big Mac but was mushed down into a not so nice texture and put into a sub.

So I finally went to check out cibo Italian subs , i started using the maps and it did direct me to the old shop so I switched to google and then was directed to the new store it did direct me through a carpark which was the wrong way so if you do use the maps on your phone don’t go through a carpark because that leads you nothing 😂 But I finally found it ! So I went for there monthly special which was the Reuben it was priced around about £12 or so give or take can’t remember exactly the price . From first moment you could see this sub was packing a punch as it had some weight and width to it , I unwrapped it and it was stuffed to the brim with filling if your someone that would complain about getting too much then you should hang your head in shame because you should never complain about getting too much!!. So in my sub I had a lorry load of tasty melt in the mouth salt beef , with a dash of mustard and handful of sauerkraut . This was just a winner !! All 3 work together in sync and there was nothing I didn’t like ! Love bit of sauerkraut and salt beef 😍 and the mustard just complements the acidity of the sauerkraut. Value for money , packed full to the brim ! After seeing this on food review club I’ve been itching to visit and it didn’t disappoint so if you live in Bedford or surrounding area then I suggest you take a trip , lovely little family owned business Really friendly , great customer service I will be back for the Philly cheesesteak !! Go follow them on socials and be sure to check out my socials for more food content @bigchefeats 👨‍🍳❤️

The Bigboysfoodclub came down to check out the subs they had on offer, to say the least they were up to standard from the speed of service to the weight of the sandwiches was on point. We ordered the Steak and cheese which was so tender and succulent the sauce the cheese and the bread which held it together and didn't go soggy very good and they didn't scrimp with the meat. Then the Star of the show the 3 Pigs very big and loaded pork meats which were full with flavour tender meats and once again it held its shape and didn't break apart. Then we had the Chicken Parm which was okay but wasn't to our liking it was okay still a fully loaded sandwich once again. The store inside had good vibes and some tasty looking deserts on show as well would definitely recommend if you're looking to try something different with bang for your buck give these guys a try and the staff were friendly and efficient with our order so KUDOS Cibo Italian Subs

The Bigboysfoodclub strolled down to Cibo we heard they had some Bigboy sandwiches so we had to pull up and see what's happening, We preordered our food. The restaurant is located in Bedford Town along the river Bank beautiful location I may add. On arrival the blue colour scheme of the restaurant just pops at you.We were greeted by the friendly staff who served us within minutes while we waited we had a look around although it's small inside it still felt comfortable. What stood out to us was the deserts they had on the counter which was talking to us. The friendly staff member bought out our food which we must say the bag was heavy. We ordered a Steak and Cheese, the 3Pigs, and Chicken Parm. We drove 20 minutes to our destination then opened our sandwiches which they were still hot. We had to tuck into the 3pigs first it did not disappoint it was packed full of fresh tender meat it was juicy and the sauce just seemed to compliment it everything worked definitely worth getting. We then attacked the Steak and cheese the meat yet again was so tender full of flavour and not dry definitely would buy again. Then the Chicken Parm it was probably our least favourite out of all 3 still a good sandwich for someone else but not to our taste. All in all would definitely recommend this place if you want fresh full loaded sandwich with fresh bread that will keep you going through your day here's your spot. We will definitely be back to check out other menu item's

Super friendly staff who were easygoing and friendly. I picked the Philly cheese steak and chicken parm with parmesan Tater tots. It was all 10/10 i can not wait to go back!

The staff had a bad attitude , were extremely rude especially the guy with the pony tail . The food was mid at best not worth don't go here

As with many others I was disappointed to hear about the closure of Cibo's on Newnham street. However, this new spot brings with it a focus on delicious Italian subs, that more than makes up for the loss of it's predecessor. The chicken parm sub was delicious - huge flavours, perfectly cooked chicken. Others in my group had the veggie option and fiorentina which were also both great. Highly recommend!

I grew up in NY and lived right outside Philly for over 10 years, so I like to think I know a good sub when I taste one and these are REALLY GOOD subs. The Philly cheesesteak was better than any cheesesteak I ever had in Philly and I've been to all the famous spots. The meatball sub was also delicious, just the right mix of cheese and meatball. The only thing I might add is the option for a little side of extra marina, because I like a very saucy meatball sub. The sub roll I could probably just eat straight up, perfect exterior crunch but nice and soft inside. The shop was clean, the staff was very nice, and it's right next to the river, which is great because you can walk off the very full tummy you will have.

I was a really big fan of the old location but unfortunately with the new location I feel like the personality of Cibo is no longer there. I felt and saw that the old location had a bit of culture and a sense of pride but that is no longer visible in the new place. If anything the new place is a step up from subway.
