Dans l'ensemble Café Figata se présente comme une option italienne fiable et bien exécutée à Montréal, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale qui en fait une adresse agréable pour un dîner ou une soirée entre amis. Le service est décrit comme attentif et efficace en période normale, même si certaines visites signalent des moments plus lents et des défaillances occasionnelles. La carte des vins et les cocktails obtiennent de bons avis, tout comme la focaccia et la burrata; toutefois certains trouvent le rapport qualité-prix discutable et certains plats manquent parfois de subtilité. En somme Café Figata est une option italienne fiable et bien exécutée à Montréal qui donne envie de revenir pour ses saveurs constantes et son ambiance accueillante.
At first we order 2 dishes & a dessert, but later on the pasta was so good we have to try another one lol. I don't know if these are the real Italian tastes but they suit well for us. I think the music is somehow is too loud so I cannot really hear the waitress. The restaurant was also very crowded so I recommend reservations, & also due to that, sometimes it took long for the waitress to notice us & the waiting time also a little bit long. Price is compatible with the quality.
Overall, the food is amazing & I'll come back! :-)
One of my favourite Italian restaurants in Montreal. The savoury dishes are consistently excellent, & what truly sets this place apart is the dessert menu, something that is surprisingly hard to find at the same level. For my birthday, I had a passion fruit & chocolate choux alongside a tiramisu. Despite not usually being a dessert person, this was, without hesitation, the best dessert I've had in the city, & I will be thinking about that choux for a long time!

Très beau restaurant avec une tres bonne cuisine, nous avons vraiment apprécié les plats & l'ambiance lors de l'anniversaire de mon amie!
Malheureusement, l'expérience a été ternie par un point de service assez décevant. J'avais apporté un petit gâteau bento (nous etions 2 personnes) pour une surprise d'anniversaire, avec ma propre bougie, sans aucune demande de service particulier (ni découpe ni assiette). On m'a toutefois dit qu'il y'aura des frais de 7 $ par personne pour pouvoir l'apportez, même après avoir expliqué qu'il s'agissait uniquement d'un geste symbolique , surprise d'anniversaire & qu'il n'y a aucune decoupe de leur part.
On nous a simplement proposé de choisir un dessert du menu à la place, ce qui ne répondait pas du tout à l'intention de la surprise…
C'est dommage, car la qualité de la nourriture & du lieu méritent mieux, mais cette rigidité sur un détail a réellement gâché la fin du moment.
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.
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!
I am updating the review as it is now open as a restaurent. I came with my friend & we split the bufala & the mushroom sausage pasta. I think the bufala could maybe have a bit more flavour, but still very good. The pasta was very delicious. We had a tiramisu for dessert which was super yummy.
The service was good, & the atmosphere very nice!

Cute coffee counter! Prices are very reasonable for a to go coffee. Great spot to stop if your on a walk. Will be nice when the full location is open with seating. Didn't get any food, so can't rate it.
