Café Figata is an upbeat Italian spot where the food is praised for freshness, generous portions, and solid pasta dishes, with meatballs and seafood earning particular nods, while the vibe stays warm, lively, and unpretentious, making it a good pick for a casual night out or a date. Service is described as attentive and capable when busy, though a few visits note slower moments and occasional misfires in dishes like a burnt octopus or bland pasta, tempering otherwise strong impressions. The wine list and cocktails get good marks and the focaccia and burrata are commonly enjoyed, although some reviewers find prices steep and some dishes uneven. All in all Café Figata comes across as a dependable, well executed Italian option in Montreal that many diners would return to for reliable flavors and a welcoming atmosphere.
Great overall experience, friendly staff, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable & well fed. They know what they're doing, so give them the lead & let them guide you.
We were a group of 5 set on a round table of a perfect size. Cocktails, excellent red wine, digestifs. Bread & charcuterie were excellent & generous. We were able to order almost all the main courses & all were perfect! Service was attentive without being overwhelming. Price was very reasonable. We closed the place without realizing it was so late. Will definitely return!

The restaurant is nice but the food is not worth the hype at all it is not good. Don't fall for the hype it's not worth it. I even booked 3 weeks in advance.
An Italian restaurant that focused on mastering what Italian cooking is, simple ingredients, prepared in order to let the ingredients shine. Service was excellent & the wine list has a lot of interesting options. If you have a special occasion to celebrate I recommend here
Very nice restaurant! Cocktail was amazing (I chose the passion fruit margarita). The cesar salad was delish as well the vongole pasta. Great service. Would come back!
A great place with delicious food, excellent pasta & not too noisy atmosphere. It was difficult to get a reservation - we waited almost two weeks. But we will definitely come back.

What a nice place & nice people. The food is wow, the ambiance is cool & the service is friendly & you feel at home (Elliot is such a great waitress). I strongly recommend Figata. We will be back soon.
They've done an excellent job with this quaint authentic Italian restaurant. The food is excellent. Cocktails are a little overpriced but excellent & original. Don't expect the quickest meal service, but if anything this makes it feel more authentic.
For a 3-week wait for a reservation (& it was a Wednesday) I had hoped for a bit more fanfare. This a neighbourhood resto, with casual dining. Fair prices, but limited menu. If you don't like pasta, there was 1 meat & 1 fish on the menu (& quite expensive IMO). I think once the hype dies down, we would go back. I wouldn't wait 3 weeks for the same menu.
There is a nice buzz - not a place for intimate dining...quite noisy. Staff was pleasant & service was good but slow...for pasta that concerns me. (Reservation clearly mentions 2 hours. It took 30 minutes for our first service.)
This resto is co-owned by the same owner when it was a bar...& it still feels like a bar - the bar area is quite prominent in the space, leaving little room for tables. Has potential...I wish them only the best - I like seeing the hood busy.

I had a really great experience here! The food was super fresh, full of flavor, & everything we tried was honestly delicious. The vibe is really nice too-perfect for a chill dinner or a special occasion!
Big shoutout to our waitress, Victoria-she was amazing. Super friendly, attentive, & just had the best energy. She gave great recommendations & made sure we were taken care of the whole time.
Definitely a spot I'd come back to & recommend to others!
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.
We were served by Naira ! What a sweet caring Lovely lady ! She made the whole difference in our dining experience! We will go back soon & often that's for sure !
Ho yes ; & the meal was amazing
