Ordered the meatballs & focaccia. Both were not good. First off, what they serve as'focaccia', looks like a slice of sponge cake. Meatballs were chewy & sauce was acidic. Funghi pasta was just okay. The vodka pasta was just horrible. Didn't eat it at all but I did appreciate that they didn't charge it. When your menu is mostly pasta, you cannot be over cooking pasta & serving bad tomato sauce. Very overhyped.
A good restaurant overall, but with a few considerations.
First, the service was excellent - truly hard to fault. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, & I honestly don't have any complaints about the space itself.
Now, about the food. I believe this place has gained a lot of hype because of TikTok, & for that reason, I found it a bit overrated. The food is good & has a very homemade feel to it. The meatballs ($15 for three pieces), paired with the focaccia ($7), tasted like something your grandmother would make - comforting & satisfying, but without that'wow' factor that makes you think about a dish for days afterward. For such simple, home-style flavors, I found it somewhat expensive.
For the main course, I had the Zozzona. It felt a bit more restaurant-worthy, but again, there was nothing particularly complex or unique about it - just a tasty pasta dish that many other places can execute equally well.
To finish, I had the tiramisu. It was good, but not memorable. In fact, that sums up the entire meal: everything was tasty, but nothing was exceptional or'pray-between-bites' good.
What surprised me most was the final bill. After taxes, it came to only $36, which was less than I expected. For that price, I ate quite well & left satisfied. Still, despite the hype, I wouldn't describe the experience as anything particularly special.
It certainly delivers! The appetizers were standout dishes, & the service was impeccable. The cesar salad wasn't to my taste (very overdressed) but the staff was extremely kind & accommodating. I love the atmosphere-I'm a sucker for Lady & the Tramp style checkered tables. This felt like sharing the last meatball with my love, but elevated. I will be going back.
We went with high expectations given the hype & despite good service & a trendy atmosphere, the food was positively mediocre. After waiting quite some time for our drinks had to send back a negroni sbagliato because it just tasted like prosecco & a vodka soda that tasted like soda. They didn't have the bufala mozarella, suggested the meatballs which were flavourless & seemed undercooked. The curly fries with meat sauce tasted likd Mccain frozen fries & a canned sauce. The mushroom & truffle pasta did not contain any actual truffle had a gooey texture & defintely needed salt & pepper. Unfrotunately won't be returning here.
A restaurant that actually deserves the hype.
We went to Figata for dinner as a group of six two nights ago, & overall it was a great experience.
They sat us at a round table in the middle of the restaurant. At first, we thought it might be too small for six people, but it actually created a really nice atmosphere & made it easy for everyone to talk together. The vibe of the restaurant felt warm, friendly, & home-y.
Now for the food: my friend & I split the meatballs, the curly fries with the sauces on the side, & the mushroom pasta.
Meatballs: 10/10
Curly Fries: 9/10
Mushroom Pasta: 9/10
Overall, the food was delicious. I heavily recommend the meatballs especially. The curly fries & pasta were also great. I do feel like the pasta was missing a little something flavorwise, but it was still really good overall.
We also got dessert, the tiramisu: 7/10. It was good, but there was slightly too much cocoa powder, which overpowered the cream a bit & threw off the balance of the dessert.
Overall, definitely a spot worth trying if you're looking for a cozy dinner with friends & good comfort food.
Warm & friendly & the food was fantastic. Drinks from the bartenders were top notch, especially the Italian Grey hound. The meatballs were out of this world. Going back soon !
Had a great experience at Restaurant Figata. Fun vibe, friendly service, & a really solid menu.
We shared a bunch of appetizers including the charcuterie board, focaccia, meatballs, Caesar salad, & burrata all delicious & perfect for the table. The pastas were just as good, & we finished with ice cream & tiramisu which hit the spot 🍝🍨
Newly opened & already feels like they're doing things right. The place was full & the energy showed it. Definitely worth a visit 👍
Definitely did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service by Elliot was great & the ambience was awesome. We had the meatballs, the cesare salad & the zazzone pasta . Can't wait to go back ❤?❤?❤?
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.
Warm & vibrant - Figata serves up great food & drinks in an unpretentious way. Meatballs were to die for, pasta was perfect, sauces were delicious. Definitely spring for the focaccia! It's fluffy, not dense. I already can't wait to go back!
