CIBARIA MANLY

Pavoni Plus Pty Ltd, the team behind a'Mare Restaurant at Crown Sydney, also has Cibaria Manly in the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Cibaria showcases all the favourite aspects of Italian dining with its different 'rias'; antipasteria, salumeria, spaghetteria, bisteccheria, forneria, cruderia, friggitoria, and gelateria, bringing the best of Italian food and drinks to Manly.

As a multi-level, 350-seat venue, we cater to à la carte dining, group bookings, and private events. We are a seven-day operation, opening from 7 am for our Caffetteria and closing late. As part of Manly Pacific Hotel (M Gallery), we also offer exceptional drinks through our Cocktaileria, 55North Bar by Cibaria.
