On Monday February 29th I attended the opening party for the 2nd location of The Bibo Italian Restaurant at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Mall near the Vancouver airport.
A wide selection of Antipasti, charcuterie and cheeses were served to the invited guests and media, red and white Italian wines poured along with a selection of Italian sodas.
The owners Andrea Bini and Michela Bini, are both passionate about serving the best Italian Wine and Food to their guests. Andrea spoke and welcomed everyone telling the story of why they opened The Bibo at McArthurGlen.

I then ate my way thru the wonderful dishes made by Chef Cristina Marianetti and Chef Marco Di Stefano along with their chefs team. The Ravioli ala Piemontese, risotto and pizza were all outstanding. I tried a selection of their pizzas and absolutely loved the Tuna with Carmelized Onions and Bufalo Mozzarella, the classic Margherita pizza, along with the Pancetta and Poricini Cream pizza.
