The neighborhood, in their words.

“In my opinion, the Spicy Sicilian sandwich is one of the best sandwiches in all of San Diego. The perfect amount of heat, great bread, and quality cured meats.”

“Ordered the Friday Night Dinner. So delicious. More than enough for two. Had leftovers the next day. Still licking our fingers.”

“Dinner was spectacular!! Such a great thing to be able to pick up a meal where we can share it watching a movie and relax with a glass of wine together ! Thank you for giving us date night at home!!”

“Ordered the Friday Night takeout dinner for two last night. The lasagna was excellent and plenty for two very hungry adults!”

“The Lasagna and garlic bread was a terrific dinner. So favorable and a perfect portion. Don’t change a thing.”

“We both had pinsa and loved it! I had The Tuscan Spinach and Mushroom Pinsa.”

“I was so pleasantly surprised with Buon Cibo! We ordered the Tuscan spinach and mushroom pinsa and the artichoke and red pepper caprese sandwich, which were fresh, tasty and flavorful.”

“The Friday dinners are fun and delicious. Ample serving to two.”

“I ordered the Spicy Sicilian and it was fire — perfectly fresh, packed with flavor, and generously sized (big enough that I probably could’ve saved half).”

“It's definitely the best Italian sandwiches and Italian market food we've found anywhere in San Diego and especially North Inland County and we go to Italy almost every year, so we're pretty picky.”

“The staff helped us pick a great bottle of wine that complemented our meal and stopped by to check on us throughout our visit.”

“Our meal was excellent! Easy pick up and wonderfully packaged. This was our first experience at your restaurant and we will definitely be back.”

“Dinner was delicious. But it was like dinner for three! I’m excited to try more Friday night dinners. What a great idea!”

“I’ve had many sandwiches, all delicious, and this was the first time trying the Friday dinner. I’m glad I did. Everything was excellent and the chicken had a good balance of sauce, cheese, and breading. Not overly heavy or rich like some others.”

“We loved our chicken parmigiana. The meal tasted great, was hot and fresh, and the portions were large. We will definitely do this again.”

“Last night was the first time I tried your food, and I have to say that was the tastiest meatloaf I’ve had in my entire life. Everything was cooked perfectly and my friend and I truly enjoyed our dinner. I will definitely be back for more!”

“Another great meal! It was delicious and we will be ordering again next Friday!”

“Lasagna Sunday was great, just like Friday Dinner for Two.”

“My husband and I enjoyed the lasagna dinner very much. We have also ordered the lasagna when you had it as a Friday dinner. We have ordered the manicotti and braised beef for Friday dinners. Enjoyed each with some left over for the next day.”

“We enjoyed the entire experience. The wine, the food and the atmosphere were all great. The staff were amazing. It was so much fun.”

“Thank you for another great wine event. Cecilia and I thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, vino and of course the Wine Captain! Keep it up. We are so glad you are in our neighborhood.”

“Very generous pours for the tastings and so many to try!! I prefer whites so the summer tasting was perfect. And the food was just fabulous!!”

“Aaron, Tom and the entire kitchen always delivers amazing and delicious sandwiches. The Tiramisu and Sfogliatella is soooo good.”

“Small cute little place. We ordered our first meal today.. Lasagna for two! EXCELLENT. Portion is great but the important thing is taste.. They are on point in the proportions of meat/vs cheese/sauce.. Love it. Will be back again for the sandwiches. Only drawback, need an extra slice of garlic bread per person 🤗😋”

“This place is a gem! The pizzas are incredible!!!! We got a couple of them and it was more than enough for 3 people. We also got their cannoli and tiramisu and they were both absolutely delicious!”

“The Spicy Sicilian sandwich was one of better sandwiches I've ever had/tell the Internet good”

“We came in for some fresh pasta to make at home and also got the meatballs to take home from their refrigerator section. Lots of goodies and market items to explore.”

“Limoncello flute was out of this world!”

“Wonderful Italian market and bistro in mid-North County. Great place to both pick up deli and frozen items to take home and to order lunch to eat in pleasant dining area.”

“My friend recommended the spicy Sicilian sandwich. I asked for the dressing on side because I usually like sandwiches dry, and it was amazing.”

“Their pizza is tremendous too. Margarita pizza is delicious. Love the crust and you can tell is freshly made.”

“Order Lasagna togo for 2. Piping hot when received the tray. Love it! Perfectly made. Sauce, cheese, meat.. all well blended. Will be back for other varieties.”

“Thank you Tom, it is great to have Buon Cibo in our Scripps Ranch neighborhood! My husband and I have enjoyed some wine and pizza at happy hour as well as bringing home some meats from the deli. The prosciutto, mortadella and capicola were sliced perfectly and were delicious.”

“Wonderful local sandwich and pizza shop with great selection of pastas and Italian products.”

“I love this place. So casual but super bright and cheerful. The staff are phenomenal and low-key. Love looking at (and buying) the groceries available. I sometimes buy the fresh pasta and freeze it for later. I’ve dined in and taken out. The Sunday sugo dinner is great! So glad they are in the neighborhood.”

“I’m so happy we have this beautiful, charming Italian nook in Scrips Ranch ! I’ve tried different times and options. First one was lunch- a very generous portion of meats in a delicious ciabatta and spicy condiments ! Very good! Second was take out- beef ravioli with vodka sauce! Savory! Third was Spicy Sicilian Pizza- scrumptious and creative ! Their tir...”

“Buon Cibo (which means "good food" in Italian) is a great addition to the Scripps Ranch neighborhood. The have the best selection of wine in the area, an amazing deli with sandwiches and desserts, and also fantastic food events. It lives up to its name.”

“Buono Cibo totally delivers. Relaxed, welcoming vibe, and the pesto chicken sandwich was phenomenal. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Five stars, easy.”

“Amazing food! This place made me feel like I was back in Italy.”

“Really good food, super cute shop and area”

“Wonderful Friday night dinner for two and Sunday Sugo. I've tried many of their dinners, all tasty. The variety of Italian products is immense. It's fun to shop there. Great pinsas and sandwiches too.”

“Fantastic crew staffing this place. The food it incredible.Prices are good. Highly recommended.”

“Had the artichoke caprese sandwich today, it was great.”

“Housemate ravioli of multiple flavors, refrigerated for you to make at home. Bought the lobster, and mushroom for this round. Enough for 2. Then we tried the sandwiches: can't remember the names but WOW! they were really good. Fresh ingredients, specially focaccia 8" rounds made just for their store. Hubby could only eat half due to the large size. I at 1...”

“Beautiful space with delicious sandwiches and fresh pasta for our toddler. The staff was so kind.”

“The food is fantastic. Both the sandwich and the flatbread I ordered was delicious. It's also a small store with many excellent Italian choices for home cooking. The employees were incredibly nice and pleasant to talk with. I think this restaraunt is a great edition to Scripps Ranch.”

“Flavorful pizzas and sandwiches! I’ve tried many different items so far (tiramisu, cannoli cake, tuscan spinach and mushroom pinsa, spicy Sicilian pinsa, albacore tuna sandwich, meatball sandwich) and most of them were tasty. I wouldnt order the spicy Sicilian pinsa again because it tasted oddly sweet for a pizza. I would also skip their cakes because the...”

“There are restaurants that serve food... and there are places that remind you what humanity still looks like. Buon Cibo Italian Specialties is one of those places. A close friend of mine is currently going through chemotherapy, and because of her condition she can only eat food that is extremely fresh, clean, and prepared at the exact moment it’s served.”

“Sublime! The food is incredible! The atmosphere is beautiful! The market is replete with imported Italian specialties that are hard to find anywhere else! The owner makes sugo from scratch every Sunday!”

“A little bit of italy 🇮🇹 in san diego. Excellent food, service. Many items for purchase which are hard to find here.”

“The best Italian cuisine in sandwiches. The products that Tommy sells are authentic Italian. An awesome experience. The food tastes absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this deli.”

“I tried the Spicy Sicilian sandwich, it was outstanding! Perfect flavor and quality ingredients. Restaurant & market are very clean and welcoming and the staff is very friendly and professional.”

“I was recently passing this sweet Italian cafe and was attracted by all the colorful items on their patio. I stopped to see what it was all about and I was totally charmed. You can purchase foods: pizza and sandwiches, delightful desserts and delicious wines that you can eat there on their patio or dine inside. Definitely worth the stop. They even have a ...”

“Just went to Buon Cibo yesterday for the first time and it was wonderful!! They have such an incredible selection of Italian specialties... guanciale, mortadella, homemade pasta, sauce, vini, and the list goes on. The place is beautiful, we had sandwiches and they were DELISH- and HUGE! Auguri, buon cibo!”

“OKAY. WOW. Finally Scripps Ranch!!! What a pleasant surprise...a hidden gem. Stopped in close to closing time hoping to grab a few "take and bake" meals for my family of 4...our original plan had been derailed...on my husbands birthday, due to an injury. Most all "take and bake" items were sold out- which honestly, says a lot about how good the food is.”

“The Italian Mortadella Sandwich was very delicious. The sandwich came with tasty imported Mortadella with those key pistachios, delicate stracciatella cheese, arugula, ground pistachios, and extra-virgin olive oil which I loved in lieu of mayo. The sandwich cost $14.95 plus tax. The mortadella was quite good and so was the focaccia the sandwich came on.”

“The food was amazingly delicious and could have fed 4 people.”

“Pure perfection! The atmosphere and staff are amazing and the food is fresh, high quality and delicious. We will most definitely be back.”

“First time today. We got the Spicy Sicilian and Chicken Pesto sandwich with some authentic Italian chips, an Italian soda, and a cannoli cake . 10/10. The sandwiches were super fresh and flavorful , the bread had the perfect crunch , the sauces on the sandwiches were delightful. The staff were all friendly and inviting . Such a cute atmosphere , we will d...”

“Had an amazing time at the newly opened Buon Cibo! We ordered the Spicy Sicilian sandwich and the Tuscan Spinach & Mushroom pizza and they were absolutely delicious. Our experience was made extremely easy thanks to our server Lincoln, who was very friendly and answered all of our questions. We will be back for sure!”

“Happy Grand Opening! 🤤 Sweet and Spicy olives 🤤 Charcuterie, any variety 🤤 Cassata (the green-colored ricotta, sugar, marzipan mound of joy), Sicilian Almond cookies, and many other sweets. 🤤 Fresh Ravioli, any flavor 🤤 To-go Lasagna 🤤 Wines from all over Italy 🤤 Fresh bread and sandwiches to order. Think Jersey's Mikes meets Tuscany. 🤤 And more... Lasagn...”

“This isn't your American deli, it is Italian and you can tell with the way their food is made, and the atmosphere! The business is kind and welcoming to anyone, i noticed as i came with my boyfriend! Lovely hidden gem in what seems like an apartment complex, it looks small but lots of space! Even has a casual wine bar that makes you feel like you're not i...”

“The Italian Mortadella Sandwich was very delicious. The sandwich came with tasty imported Mortadella with those key pistachios, delicate stracciatella cheese, arugula, ground pistachios, and extra-virgin olive oil which I loved in lieu of mayo. The sandwich cost $14.95 plus tax. The mortadella was quite good and so was the focaccia the sandwich came on.”

“Cute new little Italian deli in scripps. It connected to the new apartments off spring canyon. The decor is adorable and a pretty decent size. There is indoor and outdoor seating. A GF and I came here to try it out since it recently opened. We both ordered the meatball Sandwich (recommended by the gentleman that worked there).”

“The sandwiches from Buon Cibo are great! I tried the Spicy Sicilian and the Meatball Sandwich and both were huge and had so much flavor. The Spicy Sicilian was my favorite because I'm a sucker for hot honey, and the pepperoncinis were an unexpected, but delicious add! At first I thought they only had outdoor seating, but they had a back room with a handfu...”

“Food was so amazing!! Parking was really easy, and the inside was just all too nice! I would def come here again to take some food home”

“A really good Italian market/restaurant. Tasty pizza. Really well made. Highly recommended. The place is really clean and inviting. Good selection of food.”

“So excited we have this new restaurant in our neighborhood. I stopped by to get lunch. I asked which was the most popular sandwich was and the guy at the counter said "meatball" so I ordered it. I also ordered one of the to go dinner packs. They were out of the meat lasagna so the guy recommended the chicken pesto lasagna.”

“Loved this Place!!!! Ambiance, Amazing Food!! So much variety!!! They make Everything Fresh! Cant wait to go back, and try try other things!”

“Buon Cibo is a gem. The turkey sandwich alone is worth the trip -- genuinely one of the best I've ever had. I also tried a flatbread with artichokes and chicken that did not disappoint. The concept is special -- authentic Italian imported ingredients you can take home, plus premade pastas, salads, and more ready to go. Quality across the board. The warmth...”

“I recently got married and Buon Cibo catered the tiramisu for my wedding. The tiramisu was some of the best I have had in San Diego and was highly complimented by my guests. The price was fair, and the cake for both our guests was both beautiful and delicious. Tom was amazing to work with and personal. Him and his crew delivered and cut the cake at my wed...”

“Third visit and still thinking about that cannoli. 10/10. No crumbs left behind. The pepperoni pizza? Incredible. Truly no notes. Just perfection. The pastries and wine selection are phenomenal, and the staff is always so kind and attentive. Sitting on the patio at sunset with a bottle of wine feels like a little European escape right here in Scripps Ranch.”

“First the food: - Queen Margherita Pinsa (no basil) The sauce is immaculate, with a perfect balance of slight garlic and olive oil to make a soft, savory sauce. The crust... the crust is a work of art, it hit my list of top 5 best pizza or pizza-related food crusts of all time. It's crunchy with the slightest taste of olive oil and yeast. Simply immaculate.”

“This sandwich transported me right back to my time on the amalfi coast. The fresh bread might have been the star of the show but the flavor of the sandwich was impeccable. If you're in the Poway area this is a must try”

“I'm so happy we have this beautiful, charming Italian nook in Scrips Ranch ! I've tried different times and options. First one was lunch- a very generous portion of meats in a delicious ciabatta and spicy condiments ! Very good! Second was take out- beef ravioli with vodka sauce! Savory! Third was Spicy Sicilian Pizza- scrumptious and creative ! Their tir...”

“Excellent desserts! Highly recommend tiramisu and lemon dessert in the champagne flute. The tiramisu was extremely more-ish. Good shop to find unusual pretty gifts too! Highly tempting! I will be retuning for lunch and another look around. Easily found parking in front at 12:30pm on a Friday.”

“Tuto italiano sub is excellent. Bread was toasted perfectly and the ingredients were fresh. The lentil soup is hearty and delicious. The tiramisu cake was soft, decadent and the hint of alcohol is positively notable. Parking is a bit limited and a bit tough since it is in an apartment complex as opposed to a strip mall. Place was clean and staff is friendly.”

“I had the most spectacular experience at Buon Cibo! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, intimate, and genuinely welcoming -- like being invited into someone's beautiful Italian kitchen but it's so much more than that. You can taste the quality and care in every bite nothing felt generic or rushed. This place is an absolute gem in Scrip...”

“We ordered the pizza, tiramisu, and a sandwich. People were very nice. They suggested the Sicilian Sandwich. It was tasty. Big size. I could only eat half. My husband will be excited for the other half. They have a shop to purchase Italian goods including pastas, sauces, cookies. They have some pre-made things as well.”

“Stopped by in their second week of being open to grab a couple sandwiches, a mortadella and a meatball. Service was smooth, we placed our order then looked around the shop, decided to add a couple fresh cannolis before paying. They've got such a solid selection of traditional items that can be quite difficult to find elsewhere, cheeses, sauces, one-pot pa...”

“I wanted to share a thoughtful recommendation for Buon Cibo Italian Deli in Scripps Ranch. My family and I went yesterday, and I was impressed by the quality and execution of the food. The meatballs were exceptional; tender, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch (not rubbery). They had that delicate, almost effortless texture that speaks to careful pre...”

“Stopped in while in the area to check out the Deli. There seems to be quite a few new 'Italian' Deli's opening lately. This one was truly Italian! We had the Tacchino Sandwich, (reminded us of the sandwich we had in Florence). The sandwich was AMAZING! The bread was light and crispy- and they did not skimp on the sandwich filling. The sandwich was also qu...”

“Went to Buon Cibo tonight for the first time. Very welcoming, warm atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful with any questions. We tried the meatball & Tacchino sandwiches, chicken pesto and spicy Sicilian pinsas, assorted cookies, cannoli cake and sfogliatella. All of it was delicious! My favorite is the spicy Sicilian with the hot honey.”

“Food was absolutely delicious!! I will be coming back to try more items on the menu. The service was excellent and very helpful. It is a very cute store with a ton of items that look great to try at home as well. Plan to come back in the future thank you!!”

“Ordered the dinner for 2... and came on the wrong Friday. They were so friendly and didn't let me leave without a dinner and dessert. I always appreciate excellent service and experience. I can't wait to come back next week and try a new dessert !”

“This place is amazing. The mortadella sandwich is my go to on my way to the Padre games. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Going to add a cannoli next time. Fresh shells! yum. You can tell the owner Tom has pride of his place.”

“Had to trek down to San Diego from mission Viejo for a dentist appointment. Wanted a quick bite before heading home. Ended up eating one of the greatest sandwiches I've ever had in my life. If you are nearby, do yourself a favor and make it a point to go in. Highly recommend the spicy Italian!”

“The meatballs and cannolis are great! Very nice ambiance and staff. And it's easy to find withoff street parking”

“10/10!!! So excited to finally try this place. We got the spicy Sicilian sandwich and I have to say it was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.”

“A great little place to have a meal. Great food, service and ambience. The seating area in the back of the restaurant is amazing! even the music was great.”

“This lovely spot was quite a surprise! For a fabulous charming Italian vibe, stop into this multidimensional space with a feel of a coffee shop, sandwich shop, gourmet delicacy and dessert shop, fresh meat and cheese shop, pasta shop, complete with a back wine room, plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, and even some designated parking spots.”

“Amazing sandwich-everything was so fresh. Highly recommend!!! Staff was friendly, cute decor-and Italian specialties in the market will be back for sure”

“Delicious sandwiches, great Italian cookies and import products, lovely Italian sodas cold and ready to drink.. don't skip this place. Friendly staff and nice ambiance .”

“I had the California Club Sandwich for lunch The taste was so good. The bread was delicious and the sandwich was large, I could only eat half. I will definitely return The service was great and everyone welcoming”

“This is such a great spot in Scipps Ranch neighborhood for Italian sandwiches on their homemade focaccia bread. You can also buy their homemade pasta! The staff always makes you feel welcome as well. We love this place!”

“What a great place. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff is great. I ordered one of their sandwiches and was it good! My husband also ordered a sandwich and "gobbled" it up. Can't wait to try their other specialties. Also, a great place to purchase items to take home and cook.”

“First trip to Buon Cibo with a group of 8. Great experience all around. Tomas Assisted us with the wine. We did shared dining starting out with salads then enjoyed meatball sandwich's, several pinsas and finished off with great deserts. Gianni was our server and he was spectacular. So accommodating and truly went out of his way to add to the evening. We w...”

“Best Pizza I've ever had, they also have a great wine selection. Loved the desserts as well. Very cute room with tables in the back where you can choose your wine. My son loved their Italian soda. Friendly staff and good service.”

“Spicy Italian was very good. Bread was fresh and was a great mix of chewy but solid. Fresh sliced meat and fresh veggies added on top of the experience. Need to try everything else on the menu.”

“Visited for the first time and enjoyed the Tutto Italiano sandwich for lunch outdoors on the patio (loved the music selection!). The counter service was welcoming and friendly. I left with bread pudding to go. Looking forward to returning with more friends and trying more items from the menu!”

“We are absolutely blown away by Buon Cibo! One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The space is beautiful! The market has so many imported italian specialties that are hard to find elsewhere. We had the mortadella sandwich, the spicy Sicilian pinsa, cannoli, cookies, cakes, and wine. Absolutely sublime in every way.”

“This was my third time visiting Buon Cibo - one take out order and eating on premise twice. On my first visit we dined on the patio and tried the huge & tasty Montebello sandwich. Second visit was a "takeout order" of their chicken pesto ravioli. On Sunday we tried the Sugo Sunday dinner and ...wow!”

“To die for! What a gem in Scripps! Great sandwiches and unique selection of meats, cheese and pastries. I'm in love!”

“This place opened up a few weeks ago and I was lucky to drive by and decide to stop and check it out. Absolutely fantastic decision, maybe one of the best Italian sandwiches I have had in the U.S. absolutely one of the top in San Diego. I got the spicy Sicilian, super solid.”

“Came in for Sugo Sunday Absolutely amazing!! Recommend! Great friendly service and staff!”

“The grab and go case is really great, very convenient. The pesto chicken lasagna was delish and I was shocked my dad liked it. The regular cheese lasagna and meatballs were yummy too. Can't wait to try a sandwhich.”

“We tried several of their sandwiches and they were excellent. We saw some towels on the shelves that I thought a family member would really like. I went back a few weeks later to get the towels as a gift. They were not on display anymore. I asked if the shop still have them. The owner said the towels were in storage.”

“We visited this new Salumeria eatery the following day after its grand opening and we were immediately greeted by staff . The interior is beautiful, love the color scheme and dining area, which resembles many tiny towns in Sicily. We were also pleasantly surprised that their market section sold many food items and brands that we saw and purchased in Italy...”

“Wow! What a treat to have a truly authentic Italian eatery out here in the suburbs. Great ambiance and well designed space. You walk into an Italian market with an assortment of products ranging from gourmet olives, crackers, meats, cheeses, and an amazing assortment of salads.”

“Great Italian deli. My favorite are the Pinsas (mini pizza). Especially the spinach and cheese”

“Just went for the first time tonight. The wine was yummy and the flat bread was delicious. Took home some fresh pasta and meat sauce. Was amazing. Also had crème brule which was great. Will definitely go back soon. Wait staff and servers were awesome!!”

“I recently had Buon Cibo cater a dinner party at my home. Chef Tom did an amazing job! We worked on the menu and budget together. It was so easy and he made some great suggestions for my vegetarian guests. We did Chicken Piccata, pesto rigatoni (with bacon on the side), roasted veggies and an eggplant lasagna. My guests loved every dish. High quality and ...”

“The 8 of us ALL loved Buon Cibo!! Special shout-out to Gianni. He was a perfect waiter with recommendations and stopping by with great timing to check on us; he was so kind and professional too. We had and LOVED the beet salad, arugula salad, meatball sandwiches, and omg the pizza! Don't leave without one of those- I loved the mushroom/spinach/pine nut on...”

“Best spicy Italian sandwich I've ever had. 10/10. Cannoli was awesome. Definitely coming back”

“Finally, a true authentic Sicilian market/eatery in the community. The Sicilian culture is different from the Italian culture, and Buon Cibo highlights that. The food is fresh and delicious. The market is vibrant, full of colors and products you'd see in Sicily. This is going to be such a perfect hangout spot during those beautiful Sunny San Diego days.”

“We bought a bunch of stuff at the grand opening and all of it was great. As an Italian, I consider myself pretty picky about Italian food. All of the food we tried, including the pasta, sauce, meats and pastries, were authentic and very tasty. I'm excited to have great Italian in the hood. They also have a nice wine area and selection.”

“Food was delicious, servers were super kind and fast working, and the place is beautiful.”

“This time around, we enjoyed a classic pepperoni pizza, one of the red wines on offer for the week, and shared a bottle of the current prosecco on offer. All were great.”
