“Second valentines here. Food is always great but wouldn’t recommend the “wine cellar” option since it was just a quiet basement room and not really aesthetic”
“Very yummy and so cute inside. Loved the restaurant week menu, very worth it!”
“Great spot to drop in for tapas. Pork belly, potatoes & arancini were solid.”
“Oysters were delicious & well shucked. The dates with speck were excellent, as was the artichoke bruschetta. We enjoyed an orange wine from Austria that was very lovely. The food & drinks came out quickly & ambiance was quiet & classy. Highly recommend.”
“great service great wine and great atmosphere. food is so delish”
“Such a cute place to grab a drink! I came here with a few friends and we had such a cute time grabbing some drinks and enjoying the fun ambiance! Service was a bit slow but they were pretty busy so we didn’t mind too much and they were super helpful with choosing drinks!”
“Let me start by saying that the vibes at here are everything! Couple that with their extensive wine selection and you have the recipe for a delightful visit. Perfect for a date night or girls night out, this spot has a good selection of pastas, Italian tapas and entrees. They have wine flights/flights on Tuesday and Wednesday (4 wines) and their happy hour includes great deals like $10 cocktails and $25 charcuterie boards. Here's what I tried: Rhône blend Port - Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Whiskey Sour Shrimp & clams Bistro fries Bruschetta Gnocchi It was my first time trying the Rhône blend - a red, robust wine that is easily now one of my favorites! The Italian style tapas give you the chance to try a few different things, which I love and the entrees are huge - perfect for sharing. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit to the Lakeview area and when you go, tell em Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!”
“Really cute wine bar with small plates. The atmosphere is lovely. Chill music and clean cozy tables and chairs. Thursday night staff seemed a bit low energy and uninterested. Food was good, but small and expensive for what it was. Not many gluten free/friendly options and definitely not very dairy free friendly. This would be a great spot for a date night or a girls chat, but expect to be a little disappointed and spend a bit more than expected.”
“A cozy wood-accented Italian wine bar in Lakeview. The small plates were mostly enjoyable though with a few misses. The octopus was a standout with a tender texture and great char, while the roasted beets and pear salad were fresh and well-balanced. The shrimp and clams were overly salty, and the tortellini felt overcooked and heavy. Overall, a comforting neighborhood spot for a relaxed dinner, though a bit uneven in execution.”
“Cute neighborhood wine bar with good Italian tapas that gets loud on the weekends. We went on a Friday night - reservations were available online and looked very available. Make reservations! Although the place was completely packed our table was available a little early. Food was good with the arancini the highlight. Pear salad made a nice counterpoint to our other heavy dishes. Nice options with the select your own meat / cheese plate and the mix & match oysters. Duck breast was good, skin / fat could have been more crispy / rendered. Service was engaging and courteous - coverage felt slightly stretched at times with the full house. Atmosphere - very cute spot but the tables are close together and when packed the noise level is quite high. Would recommend for a weeknight if you are in that neighborhood: pre-show bites or group outing with reservations.”
“Figo is by far our favorite neighborhood restaurant. We’ve been coming for years and love their ambiance, food, and drinks, especially the meatballs, arancini, pear salad, bolognese, pesto gnocchi, and craft cocktails. They recently updated the menu with some lovely new additions. Tonight we were blown away by the “Catnap” cocktail, designed by the wonderful bartender Miriam. It’s so inventive and delicious!”
“Figo was the perfect place to host our son’s engagement celebration! We were in the cellar wine bar. It was intimate and beautiful. Communication was so easy with Domas. The food was delicious- tapas style perfect!! I highly recommend this for a private party! We’ll be back.”
