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 😊
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.
This place is special!! A true gem. Hit all the marks. Great vibe. Incredible attention to detail. The food was outstanding. We order 2 pastas (Funghi E Tartufo & Zozzona - both photos here), as well as Spaghetti Fries, & Caesar Salad). First time, & not last. Very friendly owner & staff. Keep it up!!!
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?
Had a great experience at Figata! The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, & the overall service was excellent. Viral, one of the co-owners, was especially attentive to all of our questions & made sure our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. You can really tell they care about their customers' experience. Definitely recommend!
We had an amazing time at Figata! Every dish was beautifully presented & absolutely delicious. The service was prompt, warm, & genuinely friendly from start to finish. The atmosphere was hard to beat - the perfect mix of beautiful décor, dim lighting, & an incredible playlist made it exactly the vibe we were hoping for for our girls' night birthday celebration.
A special shoutout to Vilar, who truly made our evening so memorable. We'll definitely be back soon!
