What is Cibrèo’s commitment to ingredient sustainability?

In 1979, Cibrèo has been probably the first restaurant in Italy to promote the importance of short supply chain ingredients. We were pioneers in advocating for organic food, leading the restaurant industry of the 1980s toward more ethical and conscious choices. This commitment continues to this day, representing the core of our culinary philosophy. Our vegetables mainly come from organic or bio-active gardens, located just a few minutes from our restaurants, ensuring maximum freshness and quality. Our meats, on the other hand, are exclusively selected from certified organic farms, free-range pastures, and non-intensive productions, to offer you the best in flavor and environmental responsibility. We collaborate with expert partners who share our values of sustainability and transparency. Discover more at the page "Culture", section "Expert Partners". Additionally, we have implemented strict controls in our daily food preparation, allowing us to significantly reduce waste and leftovers, contributing to a more sustainable resource management system. All our food, except for cured meats, is prepared directly by our chefs in our own kitchens, ensuring genuine dishes crafted with artisanal care. Discover more about our commitment to sustainable and ethical cuisine by visiting our dedicated page. Cibrèo combines authentic flavors, excellence, and respect for the environment.

Why is it called Ciblèo?

Ciblèo, our Tuscan-Oriental restaurant, was founded in 2017 from an innovative idea by Fabio Picchi, inspired by his extensive experience in Japan, where he managed a Cibrèo restaurant in Tokyo. Upon returning to Italy, Picchi wanted to create a venue that combined the finest Tuscan ingredients with the techniques, recipes, and authentic flavors of Asian cuisine, giving life to a unique culinary concept. We do not like to call it "fusion", but rather a meeting place between two gastronomic cultures that speak the same language: flavor and emotions. Ciblèo is a culinary experience that celebrates the union between Tuscan tradition and the refined style of Oriental cuisine, enhancing local ingredients with an international touch. The name Ciblèo was not chosen by chance: it was selected by the Japanese brigade of the restaurant as a symbol of this extraordinary fusion of traditions and flavors. Every detail of the restaurant reflects the harmony between the two cultures, making it a reference point for those seeking a unique and authentic gastronomic experience.

What is "Cibreino"?

Cibreino, our historic Trattoria in Sant’Ambrogio, was born on the same day as the nearby Ristorante Cibrèo, sharing the same passion for tradition and quality. The name, affectionately given by Florentines, means "little Cibrèo", representing a more intimate and informal version of the renowned restaurant. From the very beginning, Cibreino has won over the local community thanks to its authentic atmosphere and dishes inspired by traditional Tuscan cuisine. In the past, it was also known as "Cibrèo dei Poveri" (Cibrèo for the poor), a name that emphasized its accessibility. Over time, this term was replaced by affection for the name Cibreino, which for Florentines became synonymous with flavor and conviviality, while also gaining international recognition. Today, tourists and food lovers from all over the world choose this Trattoria to enjoy an authentic experience and savor the true flavors of Tuscan tradition. Although some people confuse it with Cibrèo Caffè, Cibreino remains and will always be our Trattoria, dedicated to those looking for a welcoming environment where they can enjoy genuine dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Here, traditional recipes blend with a passion for hospitality, making it a reference point for those who want to experience true Florentine cuisine.
