Non c'e male. Il servizio era molto buono. Purtroppo la pasta era quasi cruda, e il sugo in generale non aveva tanto gusto - ci voleva qualcosa di piu. La focaccia era molto morbida
I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Figata & I'm still thinking about the meal days later. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, & effortlessly stylish.
We were served by Vee, who was truly fantastic. Attentive without being overbearing & knowledgeable about the menu. Vee elevated the entire evening with thoughtful recommendations & impeccable service.
To start, we had the polpette paired with fresh focaccia bread. You can taste the care & quality in every bite. For the main, the cowboy cut steak with broccolini was cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender, & beautifully seasoned. Napolitain ice cream for dessert was a great way to tie it all up.
Huge compliments to the chef for creating such a delicious & well-executed menu. Figata is a gem, & I can't wait to come back. If you're looking for exceptional Italian cuisine with top-tier service, this is the place. Highly recommend!
Long story short, the same is legit, the place was great & I would go back. Its not cheap but it was definitely worth it.
Okay so full disclosure Italian is my least favorite type of restaurant to eat out at, not cause of the taste but I just feel like I can kindof make this at home vs like indian, thai, etc.
That said this place & experience was worthwhile. Recently opened & reservations were hard to come by but eventually got a table for two on a Wednesday night that ended up being packed as well.
The place isnt huge but its welcoming, perfectly lit, music at the right level & warm.
Servers were very friendly but it did take a while, that said it was busy so not the end of the world.
Menus are nice & simple started with couple of drinks, drinks & food are both just 2 sides, something to be said for simplicity.
We ordered a couple of cocktails, two appetizers & two mains which was ambitious & overkill.
We had the meatballs & the veggies apps, & for the mains the Zozzona & the mushroom pasta (Funghi E Tartupo).
The Funghi was the standout for both of us but everything tasted fresh, simple & rich at the same times.
Both mains were huge so its great for sharing I would say 2 apps & 1 main is enough to share for 2 ppl, even 1 app & a main but you will probably be taking something home like I did too.
Cute spot, but in a neighbourhood that already has a lot of great Italian restaurants we were expecting it to stand out. It really didn't. Mediocre at best; would sooner go back to Elenia, Gia, or Barbara.
Figata is just a really solid Italian restaurant that gets the basics right-& that's exactly why it works.
The vibe is warm & relaxed without feeling trendy or overdesigned. It's comfortable, well-lit, & feels like a place meant for eating & talking, not taking selfies. You sit down, order a glass of wine, & you're immediately at ease.
The food is the star. The pasta is excellent across the board: properly cooked, well-seasoned, & not drowned in sauce. The flavors are clean & confident. Nothing feels overworked or gimmicky. Whether it's a creamy mushroom pasta or a tomato-based dish finished with cheese, it tastes like someone in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing.
The appetizers are simple & done right. Burrata is fresh & creamy, vegetables are treated properly, & everything tastes like quality ingredients instead of kitchen tricks. It's classic Italian cooking with restraint, which is harder to find than it should be.
Service is friendly, efficient, & knows when to leave you alone. No hovering, no attitude, no upselling nonsense. Just solid, professional service. The wine list is strong, leans Italian, & pairs well with the menu without being overpriced.
Figata doesn't try to reinvent Italian food or chase trends. It focuses on execution, consistency, & comfort-& it delivers on all three. If you want dependable, well-made Italian food in Montreal, this is an easy five-star spot & a place you'll want to come back to.
What a great new spot in St Henri! Service was kind & attentive, sat at the bar (barstools actually comfortable so if you are a meal-at-the- bar lover, this is a great spot), charming & not too big. I had a delicious mocktail, my friend a regular cocktail, both great! We split the octopus, served with beans & it was perfectly cooked. We each chose the scallop risotto & highly recommend! Will definitely be back
This restaurant is a beautiful addition to the Montreal restaurant scene! So I'll just review item by item
