| - Two stars is the perfect rating for Figo, where everything is superficially good, but disappointing upon deeper examination. A few examples:
It's a beautiful room. But, the tables are crammed too closely together and it's extremely loud.
Menu looks great. But, one of our dishes (tagliatelli with dill and clams) was underseasoned with badly overcooked pasta; another (gnocchi) salty as all hell to the point of unenjoyable. The "fresh" arugula salad was made with stale greens, and the "warm" mushrooms on the dish were served cold and slimy.
Wine list looks interesting. But, wines by the glass are aggressively priced, and it's not great watching a group of three employees pour your glass from a previously opened bottle, and then pass it around, each sniffing it, apparently debating over whether it's good enough to serve--and then serving it to you.
Service was good.
For the price, this is not a good choice. Go instead to Piano Piano, Enoteca Sociale, Campagnolo, or Terroni--real Italian restaurants.
