Our waitress was the best! Hats off to her. The appetizers we got were really ok. The curly fries were good, nothing notable. Meatballs were about the same. I'd rate those a 6/10. The two mains were too though were amazing. The mushroom orecchiette & lobster risotto were an 11/10!!! I would definitely recommend those. Ambiance was nice! It was hot that night, so I guess it's normal it was really hot in the restaurant too. But very nice date spot!
The fish was sublime with lemon flavours, capers & a delicate sauce in the background accompanied by just perfectly crisp broccolini. Then a side of mushrooms to balance the meal - the chef & staff were just top! Thank for a fabulous evening !
Went here very last minute & was able to get a spot but it was very busy, & pretty loud. Seating felt a little bit cramped but the pasta dishes we got were both excellent. I got the mushroom pasta & my boyfriend got the rigatoni, I liked his a little more than mine. The portions were pretty large. Tasted delicious, I would go back.

We went with high expectations given the hype & despite good service & a trendy atmosphere, the food was positively mediocre. After waiting quite some time for our drinks had to send back a negroni sbagliato because it just tasted like prosecco & a vodka soda that tasted like soda. They didn't have the bufala mozarella, suggested the meatballs which were flavourless & seemed undercooked. The curly fries with meat sauce tasted likd Mccain frozen fries & a canned sauce. The mushroom & truffle pasta did not contain any actual truffle had a gooey texture & defintely needed salt & pepper. Unfrotunately won't be returning here.
This restaurant is fun! The food is very good, the service was excellent, & the noise level decent. The pasta dishes served as mains are a generous size - the Italian-American influence some have commented on. We loved the orecchiette with a mushroom/truffle sauce. All the wines are privately imported. The bottle of pecorino (from Abruzzo) we had was first rate.
We went to Figata for dinner as a group of six two nights ago, & overall it was a great experience.
They sat us at a round table in the middle of the restaurant. At first, we thought it might be too small for six people, but it actually created a really nice atmosphere & made it easy for everyone to talk together. The vibe of the restaurant felt warm, friendly, & home-y.
Now for the food: my friend & I split the meatballs, the curly fries with the sauces on the side, & the mushroom pasta.
Overall, the food was delicious. I heavily recommend the meatballs especially. The curly fries & pasta were also great. I do feel like the pasta was missing a little something flavorwise, but it was still really good overall.
We also got dessert, the tiramisu: 7/10. It was good, but there was slightly too much cocoa powder, which overpowered the cream a bit & threw off the balance of the dessert.
Overall, definitely a spot worth trying if you're looking for a cozy dinner with friends & good comfort food.
Just an absolutely incredible place for Italian food. They've done such a good job with the rebrand & it was really good value for money. Could not recommend this place more!! I highly recommend the mushroom thingy. I can't remember the name, but it was really great.
Absolutely delicious food just came across it while walking in the neighbourhood. Even impressed me with the mushroom pasta & I dont like Italian lol. Shoutout to Viral our host he was super kind & helped us choose. Will def be back.
