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.
Absolutely delicious food just came across it while walking in the neighbourhood. Even impressed me with the mushroom pasta & I dont like Italian lol. Shoutout to Viral our host he was super kind & helped us choose. Will def be back.
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.

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 👍
If there was a way to give more than 5 stars I would! Best cooked pasta I've had since being in Rome. Everything was delicious. Service , perfect & what a great vibrant yet low key atmosphere. A great evening overall. This place is going to be a big hit , get there before it gets even harder to get in!
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.

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 ❤?❤?❤?
Fries - mid. Felt even under-salted. Crispy; I liked the shape, but the bowl came barely filled because the sauce cups took up so much room. There were a lot of scraps (half curlies, even 1/3rd curlies). -5
Meat sauce - boring, like just simple meat sauce.
Béchamel - good, okay sauce felt kind of like a mushroom saice.
The concept seems fun, but the flavours felt a little flat.
Caesar - good, very anchovy-forward!! -7.7
Perfect amount of parmesan - I liked it. If you don't like anchovies, you might not enjoy it (there were also some stray anchovies in the bowl). Some pieces were so saucy, I enjoyed that. Lettuce was fresh & good, but no croutons (she said she'd give us non-bacon ones, but we didn't get them) - still enjoyed it. Definitely an acquired taste.
Mushroom - noodle al dente a bit; I liked the noodle shape. It was good. While I love mushrooms, it felt almost like too many. Good, but Amerigo mushroom pasta is even better (though this was the best of the bunch). 7
Tomato - interesting spice. There was something a little weird in the sauce, like an unrecognizable, earthy flavour. I liked the shape, but it was solid average - nothing outstanding, literally just a tomato sauce with cheese. -5
Vodka - disappointing . Spice overpowering; doesn't taste like vodka sauce at all. Besides spice, it has no flavour whatsoever. Homemade is honestly better. -4
Service - good. They filled our water often. Our waitress was nice. Good romantic ambiance, dark, so if you're someone who pulls out a flashlight in dark restaurants, beware your flashlight will be out. Cute vibe - it's Italian, homey( with the tablecloths), but with a more fancy vibe.
All in all, everyone I went with, myself included, rated it between 5-6. for the total restaurant experience food wise.
It's a try-once-&-go-back-to-your-comfort-spot kind of place. Definitely overrated, & I wouldn't go back, just a place you try because everyone is posting on TikTok.
definitely worth the hype, we were more than satisfied with the zozonna pasta & the polpettes which were so savory!
we felt the service was a bit pushy, they clean up your tables & come over very often.
but i definitely recommend for date night! 💌

Great time at Figata - I loved the vibe. The service was good & the atmosphere was really nice.
My two comments:
First, $19 for a drink is a bit excessive. I was actually the only one at the table who ordered one because everyone else found the price too high. I'm totally fine paying $14-15 for a cocktail, but when my drink is almost the same price as my main meal… I'm good, thanks.
Second, portion sizes were solid for my friends (risotto, mushroom pasta, & vodka pasta all looked great). My pasta vongole was delicious, & there was a generous amount of clams & sauce, but the actual pasta portion felt a bit light. It just needed a little more to balance the dish.
The calamari & shrimp were really good. The burrata was good as well. The focaccia, though, felt more like sliced bread than house-made focaccia.
Overall, I'd go back - I'd just rethink what I order next time… & probably stick to water.
Non c'e male. Il servizio era molto buono. Purtroppo la pasta era quasi cruda, e il sugo in generale non aveva tanto gusto - ci voleva qualcosa di piu. La focaccia era molto morbida
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.
This restaurant is a beautiful addition to the Montreal restaurant scene! So I'll just review item by item
Cesar salad best I've had in mtl by a mile
Spiral fries a little overhyped still yummy however
Calamari frito was so so so so so gooood crispy perfectly seasoned so fresh very good
Focaccia a little bit salty not my favorite
The vodka sauce pasta was just nuts best meal of the night spectacular
Tiramisú was on same level as the pasta so so good.
Lovely part of town, decent service but food was a total miss. We had the caesar salad .. it was overly slimy & anchovy heavy… both pasta dishes disappointed.. salted beyond reason & the other was dried out like it had been left under the heaters too long. They were in their first week of opening so perhaps they were ironing out the details. 🤷?♀? Wine was good. Ambiance ok, but we were frozen where we were seated. Glad we tried it, but wouldn't return as there are much better Italian restaurants in Montreal.
