Renowned Chef Alessandro Pavoni, known for his culinary successes at Ormeggio at the Spit and a'Mare, joins forces with the Manly Pacific MGallery Collection, to introduce Cibaria Manly – a relaxed Italian all day dining destination set against a beachside backdrop.

Pavoni envisions Cibaria as a culinary haven where European socialising seamlessly transitions from casual café moments to classy aperitivo gatherings, from a long lunch to a late night gelato. "Cibaria embodies the essence of European warmth, inviting guests to savour the simple pleasures of life" shares Pavoni.

Echoing this sentiment, Dylan Cole, General Manager at Manly Pacific says, “We are thrilled that our renovation means we can now house a restaurant from Alessandro Pavoni and the distinguished Ormeggio Team. Having a chef of such prestige and calibre in our property serves as a testament to the quality of our hotel. We are so confident in the luxury experience we can provide for our guests and this demonstrates our offering is going from strength to strength” Cole adds.

At Cibaria Manly, patrons can expect a curated menu experience, featuring various Italian 'ria' sections such as 'braceria', 'forneria', 'spaghetteria', and 'pasticceria', each offering distinct culinary delights. Noteworthy is the collaboration with Ormeggio's Victor Moya to deliver world-class gelato artigianale, available for takeaway from the beachfront 'gelateria' counter.

Drawing inspiration from the Italian piazza, Cibaria Manly offers an inviting ambiance with bespoke counter dining, lounges, classic tables, and a serene rooftop terrace – an ideal setting for memorable gatherings and events.

Chef Alessandro Pavoni's culinary vision at Cibaria celebrates the authenticity of Italian flavours. "Every dish at Cibaria is a tribute to Italy's rich culinary heritage, we are committed to cooking Italian cuisine with its roots in tradition, yet a strong sense of local place" emphasizes Pavoni.

As Cibaria prepares for a summer 2024 opening Dylan Cole says "Manly Pacific is excited to contribute to Manly's vibrant dining scene and together with Chef Alessandro we are looking forward to welcoming guests to Cibaria Manly."

Cibaria Manly represents a merging of culinary expertise and warm hospitality, curated by Chef Alessandro Pavoni. It promises to offer discerning diners an authentic Italian dining experience against the backdrop of Sydney's iconic Manly beach.
