    Rigatoni con Salsiccia
    Bethany W.

    This place has been around for so long for good reason. It's definitely on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for in the quality of the food, service, and overall experience! A reservation is recommended as it was pretty busy on a Tuesday night. The food was all amazing. We were immediately given bread & olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Our appetizers came so quick; the meatballs we got were very tender, bruschetta was okay. Our server was so attentive in clearing off our table for the entrees which also came so quickly! The only complaint was from my dad, he said the veal was a little tough. The rest of us loved our dishes. Pasta was all cooked perfectly and the sauces were well made! As we ate we noticed a man (presumably part of the family that owns the place) talking with customers by name (definitely regulars). The restaurant has a home-y feeling, but is elegant and formal for a fine dining experience. Overall, this is definitely the place to come for quality Italian food and amazing service!

    I've been here twice so far and both times have been wonderful. It's so homey, a little traditional and the staff are wonderful :) All their food is wonderful. The bread is yummy and soft and the sauce it comes with is so flavorful. The truffle gnocci is bomb. I also love their fettuccine alla adriatica, but I get it with chicken!

    Stuffed mushrooms

    We loved our experience here! We have been here before but decided to order different items. We started with bread which comes with olive oil and vinegar along with herbs. Yum! We also had the Napa cabbage salad and the stuffed mushrooms. Both were delightful and warm. The mushrooms were piping hot and stuffed with Italian sausage and cheese, topped with like a bruschetta topping. The tomatoes complemented it well. The Napa cabbage salad is also warm and flavorful, and it comes with bacon, mushrooms, Dijon mustard and it tasted like gorgonzola cheese or blue cheese. For the entrees we opted to share the chicken piccata and the filet mignon pappardelle and this was phenomenal! The chicken piccata was perhaps a bit more overcooked than I would have liked but the flavor was good. It comes with a potato puree and a side of vegetables (broccoli, zucchini and yellow squash). The picatta sauce had the perfect amount of salt and flavor. The pasta was also perfectly cooked! And the steak was delicious and simple. I enjoyed the cherry tomatoes in the sauce and it comes with a cream marsala . Wow! Overall service was great and we enjoyed the quietness of the ambiance. This is a local neighborhood gem with fantastic service and dishes with flavors that make you smile.

    Cafe Figaro always hits the spot whenever we are in mood for Italian. Tonight we ordered the stuffed mushrooms, the Napa cabbage salad, the famous Pappardelle, and the chicken piccatta to share. We loved it all. I appreciated how the stuffed mushrooms were served piping hot. There was steam coming out as I sliced into them. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned. Finally my favorite the pappardelle was chewy and came with a generous portion of meat. The server was friendly and all the dishes came with perfect timing.

    Came in an hour before closing. Service was comparable to service in Italy. Food was okay. Romantic vibes. Great selection of wine! Sauvignon Blanc and Sancerre were delicious. Thank you!

    I absolutely enjoyed my dining experience here so much! The food is absolutely delicious and the vibes are immaculate. The staff are also very sweet and super nice. I really enjoyed the bruschetta and the pastas, the shaved watermelon ice at the end was also a delightful treat! Loved my experience here so much!

    Cafe Figaro is our go-to local spot for Italian food and low-key date nights! The owner, Will, is awesome and makes us feel like family every time we visit! He also curates an excellent wine selection. In terms of food, you really can't go wrong ordering off the specials... BUT our absolute favorite thing to do these days is order the tasting menu + wine pairing! It's such a great deal AND the wine is nicely paired, showing off Will's talents. We always look forward to our date nights here!

    Calamari
    Joselyn M.

    I came here for a friend's early bday dinner. She had made a reservation & we still waited close to 30 mins before we were actually sat. Not to mention, the neglect we felt & on top of that they had sat another party right before us... even though we had waited first. It was a 5min difference, but still... that's rude. So for that, service was so so. It left a bad 1st impression. Although, when it came time for dinner they became more attentive & efficient. Food was coming out pretty fast too, which was nice. More on a positive note, the food was great!! It really saved the night!! I had ordered the calamari, & Caesar salad. Calamari was good, just a bit salty. Caesar was good as well, but it needed more croutons. & for my entree, I ordered the filet mignon pappardelle pasta, & it was delish. Great Marsala sauce!! For dessert, the choc mousse was perfect. Nice, light & fluffy!! Ambiance is small & tight. As soon as you walk in, you're already in the way of traffic. It def needs a separate, waiting area... or for ppl to be sat in a timely manner.

    Great food, great atomsphere and great service. We've been going to Cafe Figaro quite regulary starting in 2023 and everything has been consistenly great. I believe they've been here since 1989 and the current 2ng generation owner Will is amazing. And oh by the way, they also have an amazing wine list and their markups are very reasonable compared to other places in the Bay Area.

    Amazing pastas and risottos! We came here for a birthday celebration as a group of 6. The lighting was dim and the restaurant was very cozy. The highlight was definitely the risotto con funghi. There were a lot of selections - chicken, seafood, pasta, appetizers. We're definitely coming back!

    Buratta
    Andrea K.

    Amazing vibes! Everything was beautiful--the artwork, the dim lighting, the candles, even the staff lol. Had a reservation for Saturday at 5:30 for a party of 18 including a child with a high chair and they had everything set up for when we arrived. By 6pm, the restaurant is packed and there's a lively chatter which adds to the fun atmosphere. The food was pretty good too, not the best Italian I've had in the Bay but pretty solid. I liked the prosciutto with buratta, the calamari, and the mushroom veal dish (Vitello al Funghi e Marsala), although that wasn't super filling. We were celebrating a birthday and they were also super kind about keeping the cake in the fridge and cutting it for us. Would definitely come again!

    See all
