As the sun returns and the flowers bloom, spring brings with it a vibrant palette of flavours – and there’s no better way to experience the season than with a carefully curated selection of seasonal Italian dishes. Our lunch menu at Cibo Manchester offers a refined interpretation of authentic Italian cuisine with a modern, seasonal twist. Each dish is carefully prepared by our chefs using the freshest seasonal ingredients, bringing vibrant flavours and traditional Italian charm to every plate.
What Makes Italian Spring Cuisine So Special?
Italian cuisine has long been based on the rhythm of the seasons. In spring, ingredients such as asparagus, peas, artichokes, mushrooms and fresh herbs take centre stage. Not only do they provide a powerful burst of flavour, but they also reflect the Italian culinary philosophy: simple, fresh and full of soul.
Spring Highlights from Cibo’s Lunch Menu
Our lunch menu at Cibo Manchester is a true homage to the Italian spring harvest. Here are a few dishes that stand out this season:
Tagliatelle Salmone
Egg pasta ribbons meet smoked salmon, garden peas, cream, and cherry tomatoes — the perfect combination of fullness and lightness that characterises spring.
Risotto Funghi
A creamy arborio risotto with a mix of wild mushrooms, this dish captures the earthy aroma of Italy’s woodlands. Finished with parmesan, it’s comfort food with an elegant touch.
Insalata con Salmone
Our vibrant grilled salmon salad contains fresh berries, avocado, sweet potato, feta cheese, toasted almonds and a tangy mustard and raspberry dressing – a refreshing, protein-packed dish that epitomises spring.
Parmigiana di Melanzane
Layers of eggplants, mozzarella and tomatoes, baked to perfection. A warm, hearty yet light vegetarian option that is bursting with Mediterranean flavour.
Pair It with the Right Italian Wine
Spring dishes go perfectly with crisp white wines and light red wines. Try a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio with seafood or a delicate Chianti with mushroom risotto for a truly Italian dining experience. Our Italian wine list is hand-picked to complement our seasonal offerings.
