Had a great experience at Restaurant Figata. Fun vibe, friendly service, & a really solid menu.
We shared a bunch of appetizers including the charcuterie board, focaccia, meatballs, Caesar salad, & burrata all delicious & perfect for the table. The pastas were just as good, & we finished with ice cream & tiramisu which hit the spot 🍝🍨
Newly opened & already feels like they're doing things right. The place was full & the energy showed it. Definitely worth a visit 👍
Montréal you know very well I have an affinity for Italian food & all things pasta 🍝. Figata a new Italian restaurant in the Saint-Henri neighborhood has just opened its doors & is already making waves in the local food scene. From the moment you walk in you feel the comfort, vibe & passion from the chef to the wait staff. The food is generous & delicious from the polpette, to the caesar salad & pasta's especially our favorite orecchiette, mushrooms in a cream sauce.
A definite must try restaurant that should be on your list.
Montréal, vous savez très bien que j'ai un affinité pour la cuisine italienne & tout ce qui touche aux pâtes 🍝. Figata, un nouveau restaurant italien situé dans le quartier Saint-Henri, vient d'ouvrir ses portes & fait déjà beaucoup parler de lui sur la scène gastronomique locale. Dès que vous y entrez, vous ressentez le confort, l'ambiance & la passion qui animent le chef & le staff. Les plats sont copieux & délicieux, des polpette à la salade César en passant par les pâtes, en particulier nos préférées, les orecchiette aux champignons & sauce à la crème.
C'est un restaurant à ne pas manquer qui devrait figurer sur votre liste.
Overhyped, my mushroom pasta had no taste, the lamb skewers are like the ones you get at maxi frozen, the shrimp & calamari were horrible all the coating was falling off & soggy. The fries on the other hand are very good. Another problem was sitting right next to another couple we couldn't even talk without being heard or feeling comfortable. Not sure if ill be back.
If there was a way to give more than 5 stars I would! Best cooked pasta I've had since being in Rome. Everything was delicious. Service , perfect & what a great vibrant yet low key atmosphere. A great evening overall. This place is going to be a big hit , get there before it gets even harder to get in!
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.
Definitely did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service by Elliot was great & the ambience was awesome. We had the meatballs, the cesare salad & the zazzone pasta . Can't wait to go back ❤?❤?❤?
