Overall, Figata in Saint Henri comes across as a warm, cozy Italian spot that delivers comforting, well executed dishes with generous portions and a welcoming vibe. The pasta shines across the board, with standout dishes like the zozzona, vongole, and mushroom pasta, and appetizers such as polpette and burrata receiving frequent praise. The atmosphere is intimate but lively, with refined yet approachable decor and a focus on classic Italian cooking done with balance and quality ingredients. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome without hovering. Cocktails and wine pair well with the menu, and the value is noted as strong for the size of portions. Some comments note that a couple of dishes can be saltier or lack sauce, and a few meals during opening weeks were not perfect, but the overall consensus is that Figata is a standout neighborhood gem worth returning to for date nights or gatherings. Many reviews describe leaving with leftovers and plans to return, confirming frequent recommendations and long term appeal.

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 👍

Overhyped, my mushroom pasta had no taste, the lamb skewers are like the ones you get at maxi frozen, the shrimp & calamari were horrible all the coating was falling off & soggy. The fries on the other hand are very good. Another problem was sitting right next to another couple we couldn't even talk without being heard or feeling comfortable. Not sure if ill be back.
Montréal you know very well I have an affinity for Italian food & all things pasta 🍝. Figata a new Italian restaurant in the Saint-Henri neighborhood has just opened its doors & is already making waves in the local food scene. From the moment you walk in you feel the comfort, vibe & passion from the chef to the wait staff. The food is generous & delicious from the polpette, to the caesar salad & pasta's especially our favorite orecchiette, mushrooms in a cream sauce.
A definite must try restaurant that should be on your list.
Montréal, vous savez très bien que j'ai un affinité pour la cuisine italienne & tout ce qui touche aux pâtes 🍝. Figata, un nouveau restaurant italien situé dans le quartier Saint-Henri, vient d'ouvrir ses portes & fait déjà beaucoup parler de lui sur la scène gastronomique locale. Dès que vous y entrez, vous ressentez le confort, l'ambiance & la passion qui animent le chef & le staff. Les plats sont copieux & délicieux, des polpette à la salade César en passant par les pâtes, en particulier nos préférées, les orecchiette aux champignons & sauce à la crème.
C'est un restaurant à ne pas manquer qui devrait figurer sur votre liste.
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.
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.
Figata is just a really solid Italian restaurant that gets the basics right-& that's exactly why it works.
The vibe is warm & relaxed without feeling trendy or overdesigned. It's comfortable, well-lit, & feels like a place meant for eating & talking, not taking selfies. You sit down, order a glass of wine, & you're immediately at ease.
The food is the star. The pasta is excellent across the board: properly cooked, well-seasoned, & not drowned in sauce. The flavors are clean & confident. Nothing feels overworked or gimmicky. Whether it's a creamy mushroom pasta or a tomato-based dish finished with cheese, it tastes like someone in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing.
The appetizers are simple & done right. Burrata is fresh & creamy, vegetables are treated properly, & everything tastes like quality ingredients instead of kitchen tricks. It's classic Italian cooking with restraint, which is harder to find than it should be.
Service is friendly, efficient, & knows when to leave you alone. No hovering, no attitude, no upselling nonsense. Just solid, professional service. The wine list is strong, leans Italian, & pairs well with the menu without being overpriced.
Figata doesn't try to reinvent Italian food or chase trends. It focuses on execution, consistency, & comfort-& it delivers on all three. If you want dependable, well-made Italian food in Montreal, this is an easy five-star spot & a place you'll want to come back to.

A must-visit spot in Montreal, highly recommend. 🍝🍸
This is Steve's latest masterpiece. The food & vibe were amazing; a great mix of intimacy & fun. As we always see at Amerigo (Steve's original spot on Monkland in NDG) the best feature is the people. Steve & his entire staff make you feel at home & always welcome. Congrats on this amazing addition to the Montreal food scene.
We started with the crudo, which was outstanding. Fresh, well-balanced, & finished with an oil that was smooth & quietly carried the whole dish without overpowering it.
For mains, we shared the Spaghetti Vongole-simple, delicate, & really well executed-along with a truffle & mushroom fettuccine that was rich without being too heavy. Everything tasted thoughtful & well-paced. We paired it with a white wine we unfortunately forgot the name of, but it was perfect in the moment, which feels more important.
By the time we finished, we were very full. Still, the lemon cake was too tempting to pass up, & we didn't regret it.
The atmosphere was immaculate-cozy & inviting, intimate without feeling quiet. We may have had the best table in the house, but the energy carried throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you get so absorbed in the conversation & food that you momentarily forget what (or who) else is around you.
The staff made the experience even better-attentive, genuinely helpful, & great with recommendations. We felt well taken care of from start to finish.
A great choice for a date night or any kind of celebration. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & would happily return.

Just went for a dinner date with my boyfriend & I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. The food was absolutely incredible & the service was just as amazing truly one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a long time.
Our waitress, Nira, & the buss girl, Giuliana, were both so kind, attentive, & genuine. They went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect & made us feel so welcomed from the moment we sat down. Their positive energy really added to the whole experience & made the night even more special.
Can't wait to come back, highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great service, & an overall amazing atmosphere.
I took myself on a solo date here tonight, & it was absolutely lovely. The meal was decadent, & everyone was so kind & attentive. I also really love the way it's decorated. It feels like a warm, chic Italian ski chalet. I will most definitely be back.

Feels authentically Italian. Got the Negroni to start, & the name of the restaurant was ingraved on the ice. Nice touch! Food was awesome, & the homemade tiramisu…OUTSTANDING! Great addition to Saint-Henri.
This is not another trendy Italian spot. This is soul, technique, & intention on a plate. Every dish feels thought through. Balanced. Generous without being heavy. Comforting without being predictable.
The pasta is the kind you remember. Perfect bite. Sauces that cling the way they should. Flavors that don't shout, they linger. You can taste the quality of the ingredients & the respect for tradition, with just enough modern edge to keep it exciting.
The space matters too. Warm. Inviting. Lively but intimate. The kind of room where conversations flow & time stretches. Service is attentive, natural, & genuinely kind. You feel welcomed, not managed.
Figata fits Saint-Henri beautifully. Grounded. Cool without trying. Confident in what it is.
This is a place you bring people you love. A place you return to. A place that will become a neighborhood classic.
