When we opened Cibaria, the idea was simple — a place for everybody, every day, like a piazza. Not just for special occasions. Seeing Manly make it their own and guests travel from across Sydney to be part of it means more than we can say.
Grazie mille to every guest who took the time to vote and to our extraordinary team. We couldn't do it without you. Salute. 🥂
