Stunning date night spot at London ft. Figo

AD 🍝 Figo 🍝

Figo is an Italian restaurant that has been beautifully decorated with floral setting on their outside seatings. It is specialised in making pasta, risotto and pizza. They are so busy even during weekday evening (Monday).

✨Here’s my review✨

1️⃣ Starters

🧀 Burrata
💰 small £12.90: to share £19.90
🌟 7/10

Creamy Italian cheese (tastes good) with hentage tomatoes 🍅 but some of their tomatoes are not well-ripen (looked green) and tasted too sour.

🍄 Arancini
💰 £8.90
🌟 8/10

Classic Italian homemade rice ball, deep fried
with truffle & taleggio on pecorino fondue

🍆 Melanzane Alla Parmigiana ( v )
💰 £10.80
🌟 8/10

Absolutely love their aubergine which is baked with cheese, tomatoes and Parmesan It’s served sizzling hot and tastes absolutely delicious.

2️⃣ Mains

🍝 LA GRAN “ROMANA’ V
💰 £19.9 per person
🌟 8.5/10

Love how they bring out their pecorino cheese wheel to serve us the spaghetti.

It’s fresh and made with Parmigiano, black pepper and butter. Before serving the pasta to you, they will spin the hot pasta in a giant wheel of pecorino cheese to cheese it up for you. It’s a shot worth captured in your reel.

It’s packed with flavour and taste better than the one I tried in circolor popolare.

🍕Pizza Burrata
💰 £17.90
🌟 7.5/10

When you’re addicted to Burrata, you get every dish to be served with Burrata. It’s a tomato-based thin crust pizza topped with parma ham, mozarella, basil and Burrata.

It’s finger-licking good. You can tuck in with fork and knife or tear it up easily using your hands. It’s oddly satisfying to tear it!! The dough is crispy and could get a little bit too dry.

3️⃣ Desserts

🍰 Tiramisu cake
💰 £7.90
🌟 6.5/10

Slightly disappointed with this coffee-layered sponge cake as it’s a bit watery and their coffee flavour is not as enhanced.

🍫 Profiterole with almond cream and chocolate ganache
💰 £7.90
🌟 7/10

Their dessert was just fine. The chocolate ganache sauce served harden very quickly and I can’t pour it out easily. I could be biased as I’m also not a huge fan of almond cream.

4️⃣ Drinks

🥂 Summer garden
🥂 Spritz before 12

Their mocktails did not give me a wow factor either! I’ve tried better drinks in other restaurants.
