Absolutely loved our experience at Figata. The passion fruit margaritas were hands down the best drink. The truffle mushroom pasta was exceptionally good, rich, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. Even the Caesar salad was amazing, which says a lot about how consistently delicious everything was. Such a great meal from start to finish. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Went here for date night. Very pleased with dinner & will come back in the near future.
We ordered the zozzana, funghi & started with calamari.
The zozzana was the favourite out of the three. Pasta was perfectly cooked & the sauce was memorable, hence the review today. Our cocktails were great but the highlight was the service.
Sometimes i like to book the bar to be & eat in the mix. Our bartender Corey was so welcoming & hilarious. Everyone looked like they were having a great time my date & I sure did
So to start off, if you have been living under a rock & haven't heard about @bistroamerigo newest project & addition to Montreal iconic Notre-Dame food street, u need to get your butt over there pronto!
Introducing, @figata.mtl, a lovely styled restaurant in the heart of little burgandy area & what a awesome addition to the neighbourhood. I've been saying it for years that Amerigo needs to expand & open up another concept restaurant & this was such a delight to see.
It still gives you very homey vibes something very approachable not too high end but not too drabby something that makes it feel comforting like walking into your Nonna's house with an upper class flare.
The food was nothing short of superb both pasta dishes that we got were amazing. The orrechiette pasta with truffle & mushroom was a standout, we also opted to add the sausage which was a must in my opinion. The other past that we got was more of a classic with a fun pasta shape that really holds & picks up everything, again the sauce was amazing
For the appetizers if you know me I couldn't just get one. We got their veal meatballs which were almost the same as if getting them from Amerigo themselves perfect in every way. The octopus dish was also a hit as I new it would be & the thing funny enough that I was most excited to try because I'm such a fan, was there curly fries with a Bolognese dipping sauce & a creamy truffle dipping sauce absolutely mind blown by this combination!
Again I've been a huge supporter of them for many years now & I'm so happy for them on their new location wishing them much success & can't wait to come back for another visit!
The food was amazing pasta perfectly cooked to al denté the sauce was rich & had a lot of depth to it. The focaccia is must! It melts in your mouth not to mention the service was also amazing my only complaint is I don't think curly fries nor the ceasar salad should be costing you 19$….
Naira was super nice & enthusiastic & made the experience worth it! The vodka pasta was a bit spicy & really good, the Caesar could have used more dressing & the focaccia was good. Overall very fun experience, cute place.
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.
Overall, nice restaurant. The ceasar salad was disappointing, lacked flavor & one of our pastas was a tad undercooked. Cocktails were great & our waitress was kind.
What to say everything exceeded our expectations
We got there our reservation was respected
We were seated immediately
Promptly served by a very pleasant waitress who was full of great recommendations which I love
Cocktail were creative & well balanced
Food was fresh vibrant colors & flavours
We had the meatballs, fritto mist, lamb scewers , tuna tartare is a must try & the Cesar salad. Everything was so delicious
Mains included Veal chops which was tender & flavour packed
Truffle pasta was perfect
For dessert the tiramisu was reminiscent of some of the best I've had in Sicily
Would definitely recommend & will definitely be going back soon
