Such a great evening with you guys at Figata! Great recommendations, fun cocktails & so beautifully decorated, with the best staff vibes. Can't wait to be back for that Zozzona pasta!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Great time at Figata - I loved the vibe. The service was good & the atmosphere was really nice.
My two comments:
First, $19 for a drink is a bit excessive. I was actually the only one at the table who ordered one because everyone else found the price too high. I'm totally fine paying $14-15 for a cocktail, but when my drink is almost the same price as my main meal… I'm good, thanks.
Second, portion sizes were solid for my friends (risotto, mushroom pasta, & vodka pasta all looked great). My pasta vongole was delicious, & there was a generous amount of clams & sauce, but the actual pasta portion felt a bit light. It just needed a little more to balance the dish.
The calamari & shrimp were really good. The burrata was good as well. The focaccia, though, felt more like sliced bread than house-made focaccia.
Overall, I'd go back - I'd just rethink what I order next time… & probably stick to water.

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.

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
