Everything was super delicious & fresh. The focaccia??? Amazing. But honestly the best part of the whole night was our waitress Joelle. The sweetest, funniest & most amazing waitress I've ever met / experienced. Will definitely be back for the food & the service.
Service & atmosphere was by far the best parts of the experience. Celia was fantastic, thoughtful, caring & personable. Style combines trendy but classic Italian. Playlist was awesome. Great drinks & some interesting takes on classics. can tell there is imagination behind the scenes.
Food was overall decent, but could be improved. Felt caesar salad was lacking flavour (other reviews said it was very anchovy forward which I didn't feel at all). Asked for extra salt & pepper even. Had the mushroom pasta, the pasta itself was well cooked & fresh but sauce was also lacking salt & umami.
Crudo was great. A bit sweet at first but actually goes well with the chilis.
Lamb skewers were solid. Frito misto was nicely breaded, fresh.
Dessert was interesting, there was a lot going on for one plate (cinnamon/brown sugar, pistachio, blueberry compote & a cream, plus pecans) but well baked, moist, gelato was good.
Overall I prefer the food at Amerigo, decent place for date night. Cost $200 plus tip, including two cocktails.

From the moment we stepped into Figata, we knew we were in for a great experience. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the staff made us feel welcome right away. A special shoutout to the hostess-her friendly energy truly set the tone for the entire evening.
We ordered a few dishes to share, & here's what stood out:
* Focaccia: An absolute must-order. Light, fluffy, & perfectly baked-such a great way to start the meal.
* Spaghetti Fries: We weren't sure what to expect, but they ended up being such a fun & delicious surprise. Pro tip: ask for the sauces on the side to keep them nice & crispy.
* Caesar Salad: Fresh, well-made, & flavorful. While it was good, it didn't quite stand out as much as the other dishes.
* Pasta: Easily the highlight of the night. We tried the Lumache Vodka & Funghi e Tartufo, & both were phenomenal. Rich, comforting, packed with flavor, & cooked to perfection-10/10 doesn't even do them justice.
* Dolci Tiramisu: The perfect ending to the meal. It tasted fresh, homemade, & had just the right balance of sweetness.
Overall, Figata exceeded our expectations. Between the incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, & outstanding service, it's definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved it! The food was fresh, everything was delicious, & Pacha really went out of his way for us. Honestly, this is one of the best & most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to in Montreal. The ambiance was great & the decor was beautiful too. Thank you so much for the amazing service - we'll definitely be back 😊
You should check this place out, ASAP. The dining experience I had there tonight was the best I can remember in a very long time. Mind you, I went solo. It was a lovely, extremely busy evening in St-Henri. I was curious about Figata, but pessimistic about getting in. The welcomer at the door told me it would be tight, but she would see what she could do. She spoke to the maitre'd & the kitchen, & after much discussion, I was given the option of a solo spot, but I had to be out in 50 minutes, to acommodate an existing reservation. I accepted the offer. & I'm so glad I did. I was seated at the bar. I was served quickly. I ordered a Moretti, & the fish crudo of the day, tuna carpaccio. I asked the bartender to choose a wine to pair with the tuna. Just before the food arrived, I was offered a sample of a white wine from Sicily. The barkeep explained that it would be somewhat bold, but not to overpower the fish. Wine pairing 101. Easy to say, but not to do. It was great. A perfect pairing. The wine had a significant, but subtle body, on-target acidity, & a hint of Riesling-style minerality. I asked the bartender what the varietal was. She wasn't sure, then proceeded to consult with no less than four of her very busy colleagues before returning with the answer that it was an Inzolia, also known as Ansonica. You should try some. The fish was amazing. Fresh, with a sweet sauce & some small hot peppers & capers. It was a refreshing protein dish, hence the crisp white wine being a perfect match. I would bet that everything on their menu is of similar high quality. But what stood out for me the most was the customer service. Making a serious effort, without hesitation, to find an improbable spot, & to answer my question about the wine made me feel the best looked after. & isn't that the whole point of going to a restaurant?
Excellent food, excellent service! Everything was tasty & fresh! Also they made your visit feel special & customized. Definitely best new spot in town in a while!
I had a really great experience here! The food was super fresh, full of flavor, & everything we tried was honestly delicious. The vibe is really nice too-perfect for a chill dinner or a special occasion!
Big shoutout to our waitress, Victoria-she was amazing. Super friendly, attentive, & just had the best energy. She gave great recommendations & made sure we were taken care of the whole time.
Definitely a spot I'd come back to & recommend to others!
Our experience was not what we expected. To begin with, I'm not a fan of how close the tables are to each other (see picture). We could hear the other couple's conversation, & of course they could hear ours, & the music didn't help. Terrible place for a date!
Then there's the food, which didn't feel like it had any quality or special ingredients. We ordered two appetizers:
Fritto Misto $26: a large plate of calamari, octopus, & shrimp. The plate is so large that the food at the bottom is full of oil, rubbery, & mushy. Not pleasant at all. Charcuterie plate $14: the cheese & charcuterie resemble what you would find at the supermarket. Terrible quality.
Main courses:
The Zozzona $28: the pasta didn't feel fresh & homemade, it was more like something bought at the supermarket, & the sauce was quite heavy & salty. It made my stomach hurt.
Funghi & Tartufo $26: stale, bland pasta with mushrooms & truffles, cream, & butter. Nothing special. We ordered dessert since we were celebrating a birthday, we ordered the dessert of the day for $14, which ended up being a lemon tart that didn't feel like it had been made recently, with cream cheese & a little lemon. We had two cocktails that were okay, but in the end they felt watered down.
In summary, the bill came to $185, for an unpleasant, expensive experience with mediocre food, therefore, I would not recommend the restaurant & would not return. In my opinion, there are better Italian restaurants in Montreal.
