More Woes for Cibo: Sale Falls Through at 11th Hour

Cibo, absolutely one of my all-time favorite Austin restaurants, closed several months ago. The Italian-styled restaurant at 10th and Congress helmed by Will Packwood just never got any traction.

The owners had planned to sell the business but the buyer backed out literally at the 11th hour last week. Packwood is one of our most talented, albeit least understood chefs, and I’m afraid we’re going to lose him to a larger city. Too damned bad.
