Figo has a super sexy bar and the mixed drinks are just as pretty. However aside from perfect lighting and atmosphere their food is lacklustre at best. Usually pretty apprehensive about "Italian" restaurants around town to begin with. But I was hopeful that this one would be different. Not sure if my expectations are just too high or I just don't see the value in what's available on most menus.
1. Last night we tried their Ricotta with fig which was meh... at the end of the day Ricotta is a bland and tasteless cheese that you have to dress or mixed with something for it to be palatable. Not my number one go to cheese dish.
2. Sausage Pizza - basically a mish mash of everything for great color and instagram pictures however the flavors were not cohesive. PIzza crust was great, perfectly thin and crunchy where it counts.
3. Next I had their clam tagliattelle the clam broth was delicious with lots of dill flavor. But the downside is, it was if as they had asked their distributer for the smallest unsellable clams to use for the dish. Tagliatelle texture was a bit sad and over done.
4. Tiramisu - pretty good, nothing special
Panna Cotta - tasted okay served right in the bowl. Nice light dessert after a meal.
Figo has a lot going for it. I won't rule them out for another meal here. Given time I'm sure they can come together and serve up great food in this beautiful place.
