This vodka pasta was honestly the best pasta I've ever had in my entire life, if I could come here for dinner everyday I would. The focaccia & polpette were also phenomenal. Next time I want to try the curly fries!! I would totally recommend to anyone coming to Montreal :) 🍝 Just make sure you book early cause it's a popular spot!!
On a soupé au Figata hier. Belle ambiance, cependant musique un peu trop forte à mon goût . On a pris la Focaccia en entrée avec la trempette: très très décevant. Trois tranches de Pain huileux & froid! Le dépanneur du coin a mieux que cela comme pain. Ils se sont rattrapés avec le risotto homard & pâtes aux truffes qui étaient très bons. D'où les 4 étoiles pour la cuisine. Service un peu trop amateur & très expéditif. On voit que l'on manque d'expérience.
The restaurant is located on a cute street corner in Saint-Henri &, although it has only been open for less than a year, it feels like a generations-old institution with a loyal clientele of young, beautiful patrons. Our hostess, Katia, & our server, Naira, were welcoming, super competent, professional & fun. We had four appetizers - lamb skewers, Caesar salad, bone marrow & focaccia bread, which were all great. For the main courses, we had the lobster risotto & spaghetti Vongole. The Vongole was spicier & less creamy than we are used to but delicious nonetheless. Cocktails & dessert were also very good.
Everything was super delicious & fresh. The focaccia??? Amazing. But honestly the best part of the whole night was our waitress Joelle. The sweetest, funniest & most amazing waitress I've ever met / experienced. Will definitely be back for the food & the service.
The food was amazing pasta perfectly cooked to al denté the sauce was rich & had a lot of depth to it. The focaccia is must! It melts in your mouth not to mention the service was also amazing my only complaint is I don't think curly fries nor the ceasar salad should be costing you 19$….
Naira was super nice & enthusiastic & made the experience worth it! The vodka pasta was a bit spicy & really good, the Caesar could have used more dressing & the focaccia was good. Overall very fun experience, cute place.
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.
From the moment we stepped into Figata, we knew we were in for a great experience. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the staff made us feel welcome right away. A special shoutout to the hostess-her friendly energy truly set the tone for the entire evening.
We ordered a few dishes to share, & here's what stood out:
* Focaccia: An absolute must-order. Light, fluffy, & perfectly baked-such a great way to start the meal.
* Spaghetti Fries: We weren't sure what to expect, but they ended up being such a fun & delicious surprise. Pro tip: ask for the sauces on the side to keep them nice & crispy.
* Caesar Salad: Fresh, well-made, & flavorful. While it was good, it didn't quite stand out as much as the other dishes.
* Pasta: Easily the highlight of the night. We tried the Lumache Vodka & Funghi e Tartufo, & both were phenomenal. Rich, comforting, packed with flavor, & cooked to perfection-10/10 doesn't even do them justice.
* Dolci Tiramisu: The perfect ending to the meal. It tasted fresh, homemade, & had just the right balance of sweetness.
Overall, Figata exceeded our expectations. Between the incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, & outstanding service, it's definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Highly recommend!
Underwhelming. 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.
Charcuterie board was good, could have used a less basic cheese though. The artichokes were a pleasantly unique touch but not sure why they were piled on the sun-dried tomatoes. The sun-dried tomatoes were delicious. The cured meat was nice. Olives were good quality. Maybe serve it on a board?
The focaccia wasn't really like any other focaccia I get at other places. It's passable with the above platter but otherwise I wouldn't get it.
The Zozzona was disappointing, you couldn't taste & barely could see the sausage. There was nothing to balance out the strong cheeses.
I enjoyed the funghi e tartufo, very solid mushroom pasta dish.
Tiramisu wasn't cut properly & was mostly mascarpone. Didn't really have enough flavour to it.
Overall I think more effort could be put into presentation.
My Negroni Terra was good, very similar to a typical Negroni.
Cute decor. Nice 80s music. Excellent service. Was very helpful with the wine. Called me when my friend forgot her bag, which was very appreciated.
