Well, I really wanted to like this place given all the rave reviews, but sadly it fell short. The service was great & I enjoyed the ambiance out on the terrace. Unfortunately, the food is pretty bland. The focaccia was extremely dense. The Caesar salad had no taste. My funghi orecchiette was also incredibly bland. Lacked salt & any other flavour. Certainly did not taste like mushrooms & even less so of any kind of truffle. Needed salt needed pepper needed garlic. Orecchiette was well cooked & it was in a cream sauce. C'est tout. Oh I had a passion fruit mocktail which was stellar. Maybe they should rebrand into a bar since cooking isn't really going well. I'm sorry to be so blunt but I haven't had a lacklustre meal out in Montreal in a long time. This was just bad.

Service & atmosphere was by far the best parts of the experience. Celia was fantastic, thoughtful, caring & personable. Style combines trendy but classic Italian. Playlist was awesome. Great drinks & some interesting takes on classics. can tell there is imagination behind the scenes.

Food was overall decent, but could be improved. Felt caesar salad was lacking flavour (other reviews said it was very anchovy forward which I didn't feel at all). Asked for extra salt & pepper even. Had the mushroom pasta, the pasta itself was well cooked & fresh but sauce was also lacking salt & umami.
Crudo was great. A bit sweet at first but actually goes well with the chilis.
Lamb skewers were solid. Frito misto was nicely breaded, fresh.
Dessert was interesting, there was a lot going on for one plate (cinnamon/brown sugar, pistachio, blueberry compote & a cream, plus pecans) but well baked, moist, gelato was good.

Overall I prefer the food at Amerigo, decent place for date night. Cost $200 plus tip, including two cocktails.

Had a wonderful dinner at Figata for my sister's birthday. Wonderful ambiance with welcoming decor, delicious food & reasonably priced. Special shout-out to our server Daphne who took great care of us throughout our dinner.

My best friend made a reservation for her birthday on 08/06 at 7:30 PM. We arrived on time, but the hostess was extremely unwelcoming & insisted we sit in the middle of the foot traffic. When we asked about another table, she refused to accommodate us. We felt our reservation was not respected & ultimately left without dining. Very disappointing, especially for a birthday celebration. The restaurant Barbara was a much better experience!

Overall, nice restaurant. The ceasar salad was disappointing, lacked flavor & one of our pastas was a tad undercooked. Cocktails were great & our waitress was kind.

This place is a great place for all times of occasions. The vibes are immaculate, the service is amazing & the food was great. We got the follow accompanied by our rating & comments.

Cesar Salad - 4.5/5 - Lettuce was crisp, tons of parmesan & the addition of anchovies was a nice.

Veal&Beef Meatballs - 3/5 - Flavour was good but the meatballs itself was very soft. Felt like mash potatoes.

Mushroom Truffle Pasta - 5/5 - Pasta was perfectly cooked, a variety of different mushrooms used & very creamy & flavourful. 100% recommend if you like truffle/mushrooms.

Lobster Risotto - 4/5 - Asparagus added a nice crunch but nothing to rave about. Lobster was slightly tough but overall well balanced.
