Zomato has acquired Italy's leading restaurant search service Cibando. Zomato has now acquired five companies globally in a short span of five months

Deepinder Goyal, Founder and CEO of Zomato, said, "Cibando is one of the largest restaurant search services in Italy. Their existing traffic and user base will give us a great start as we launch Zomato in the country."

The entire Cibando team is joining Zomato and will lead the effort of building the business in Italy. 

"Our immediate focus will be on integrating Cibando into Zomato, and on building the most comprehensive restaurant search service for the Italian market. We will also scale up our teams in Rome and Milan to 30-40 full-time employees in the next three months." Deepinder added.

This is Zomato's fifth acquisition in recent months. Zomato acquired MenuMania in New Zealand, Lunchtime in Czech Republic, Obedovat in Slovakia, and Gastronauci in Poland recently.
