REVIEW: Can Il Cibreo be the next Campo?

This week Italian eatery (and popular nightlife spot) Campo bid farewell to MoHi and in its place Il Cibreo opened up its doors to MoHi for the first time on Wednesday night.

Restaurant openings in our area run the gamut. Harlem’s Red Rooster, riding on the coattails of its 'Top Chef Masters' winning cook Marcus Samuelsson, debuted on its opening night with fanfare enthusiastically supplied by New York City’s culinary elite. Sip on Amsterdam enjoyed a bustling and successful opening night after a Blitzkrieg of marketing and promotions gave discounts and coupons to customers. Lacking Red Rooster’s celebrity or Sip’s promise of free food, Il Cibreo’s opening night fell short; perhaps because Wednesday night was more of a facelift debut than restaurant opening.
