Hadn't been to Figaro's in many years, but recently went to a function there. About 50 people attended. Kind of a somber occasion that I won't get into. In a nutshell, service was excellent, considering the crowd. Courses were served family style, starting with a really, really great salad, w two choices for dressing. Next courses were penne pasta in marinara sauce, housemade meatballs, sausage & peppers, and chicken francaise. Coffee, tea, and platters of assorted butter cookies followed. Kudos to ownership, kitchen staff, and servers. Everything flowed smoothly. Food was plentiful and delicious. 4 stars read more

I traveled all the way from Maryland and happened to stumble into this place for the first time. The service was wonderful, with amazing servers. The only thing that didn't seem to impress me was flavor in some of the dishes. Some of the sauces seemed too light for my liking but were overall not impossible to eat. Would eat here again read more

Figaro's Ristorante - Decore - Italian Near Me - Enfield, Connecticut

What a job they have done here and what a great way to finish the 2023 year. Wish I took pictures of the room, place was filled with hanging blinking lights and Christmas decorations. My cup of chowder was one of the most tasty bowls I have recently had if not all year. Chicken Franchise were spot on, the sauce was delicious. Do not know the spelling of my desert but had it one before out in the Boston area and was equally as good if not better. Without reading my earlier review I do not know why I gave it four stars but this is a top notch restaurant in the area. read more

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had. I had this special that was spicy and had shrimp and mussels in it and it was so good, I'll definitely be back. read more

We originally were trying to eat at a Thai place 2 - 3 miles from here. They were only doing take-out. Our fall back was a kebab place, but we couldn't find them. We continued searching and noticed this place. Figaro's is in a free-standing building on the periphery of what used to be a mall (apparently). From their menu, it appears they have been here since the late 1970s! They had their own segment of the large mall plaza parking lot, so we easily found a space. This has a vibe that I've encountered in the northeast before - the long-standing local Italian place. That is in no way a criticism - there are a few places closer to home that lasted 30 years and then retired or opted to close and I wish they were still around like this place! They appeared to have a bar up front and a large dining room to one side (maybe another smaller on on the other side too?). We ate here on a Sunday evening and it was over half full. They had a reasonably varied menu and hit all the standard notes of this class of Italian place - the bread was good, the salad was good, etc. We both enjoyed our entrees. I managed to finish mine but my wife had some leftovers to-go. Our server was helpful and friendly. If I lived in the area, I could see becoming a regular here. read more

I had meat put in my food and they refused a refund. When I complained on Google, you can see for yourself how they treat customers. Insulting and demeaning rather than taking accountability. I used to go here all the time. Avoid. Clearly they think you are nothing but money. read more

This was a quick stop for a drink Saturday night. Friend likes going here, I'd never been. It was rather quiet, considering its Christmas shopping season. We sat at a booth in the bar area. The white lights and Christmas decorations on white branches over head were a great touch. It's actually quite intimate there. Our server Kate was fabulous, more on her later on. My friend ordered drinks, I chose simple coconut rum and diet coke. I wanted a light something, but wasn't up for traditional appetizers. The menu is quite extensive and I've heard good things. I decided on the nights special soup. It was cream based chicken and for the life of me, I can't remember the name. I do know that first taste had me speechless. Sooo creamy, and flavorful...I tasted the cream, the sage, the thyme, pepper... so many notes of goodness. I did manage to take a picture. We had a fresh batch of warm rolls and butter. I made a comment about loving warm bread and butter and Kate mentioned their blue cheese dressing and how it went really well with the rolls. I asked for some...OH.MY.WORD! It was phenomenal. I'm a blue cheese dressing snob. It tasted so good, my friend was looking at me strange. It was utter, pure joy on my face. Beautiful large chunks of tangy blue cheese in creamy dressing. Ok, I'm thinking it's time to go back already! I now have to try the rest of their menu. I'm still thinking about the soup, fresh rolls and blue cheese dressing (drool) as I'm writing this. Great food and great servers! Thank you, Kate read more

Excellent service, staff, and menu. Definitely on our list of great restaurants. We celebrated my mom 97 birthday and had such a great time

The food is absolutely wonderful and it feels so cozy inside the restaurant. The soups are delicious and the chicken franchise is sooo good! The service is fast and so attentive. read more

Excellent dinner. Great Veal special. Food ans service were both excellent. Will definitely be back again.

I worked there, and ate there and enjoyed both! The cooks were so busy and always putting out top notch quality food.

Great food at reasons prices I've been going there for many years ask for the Gorgonzola garlic brea

Been here several times. Food consistently good as well as wonderful wait staff. Very extensive menu so you will have a hard time choosing what to order read more

Many years have passed since I dined here last Ernie, the owner, runs a tight ship as the same high standard, quality and quantity are very much in evidence. Everything is super-sized at Figaro's from salad to dessert, there's no way you're leaving hungry and without a "Doggie Basket" forget the the "Bag". I was craving Zuppa di Pesce, when it arrived the thought ran through my mind, "I'm in trouble now" as I beheld the gargantuan size of the dish. Honestly, I hadn't remembered the portions being quite that large. Even the salad with house made Italian dressing was fresh, crisp and more than enough for two Zuppa di Pesce is a classic Italian dish; I've had it many times over the years but honestly I have to say this was the very best yet. Because there is such a variety of seafood with varying cook times, its a difficult menu item to do well but to do exceptionally well, thats near impossible. Today, I enjoyed the near impossible, with lobster, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams and calamari perfectly cooked to succulent perfection. The red sauce burst into a memorable mesmerizing symphony of harmoniusly balanced, perfectly cooked; sensually indulgent comingled flavors of delightfully vibrant fresh seafood. Most authentic Italian restaurants cook pasta al dente. I ordered my linguine al dente which means it arrived very al dente but as I lingered over the mountain of seafood discarding and cracking shells etc, it continued to cook slighty; soaking up the surrounding melange of flavors. When I finally dug in, well, talk about perfectly cooked pasta, it doesn't get any better than that..!!! The service, meal and experience was amazing, quite exceptional all away around, making for a wonderful Pasta Sunday, stop by; see if you don't agree! read more

This place has been here for years. Good place to have a small gatherings. They will serve your meal family style.

The food was excellent and service was good and the ambiance was as great. I'm going to tell all my friends

I am here at the mothers Day brunch that costs $38! It is awful! Let's start with the 12 items they have. That's it 12! And their "carving" station is in the back and it's pork only. Dessert, where do I start? Could it be with the snack pack pudding and jello you get at the store! Or maybe the cakes, pies, and cupcakes they bought at Costco! And they also have pudding that is already put in the bowl for you. That way, everyone can breathe on it first, you!!! Everything in this restaurant seems to be bought elsewhere and served here. Shit I could do that! Now let's get to the ambiance....the 80's called and would like their shit back! Staff and service were excellent, though. read more

Have been to FIgaro's for years and always enjoyed their meals but today was different. Ordered seafood chowder and I think there must have been a salt explosion in the kitchen - soup was inedible - told the waitress I couldn't eat it and she chuckled and ran away. Girlfriend ordered pasta fagioli soup - same - excess salt - I think sous chef must have had a palate breakdown. Oddly, even the outside of my girlfriend's water glass was salty - waitress said maybe something from dishwasher but didn't offer to replace. Entrees (chicken parm, clams linguine and Amaretto chicken) were acceptable but portions seem to be shrinking. Debatable if I will go back after this experience. read more

Family restaurant, friendly staff, the owner Ernie and his son Mark are always there to greet you. Great specials, generous portions. Can accommodate large parties. read more

Have been here many times and loved it. Went last night for dinner. I will never go back. Food was terrible. We had Boston scrod which was cold and rubbery. Definitely not fresh. Salad was dripping wet. Chicken francaise was also cold, tough and dry. Almost no flavor. Waitress was slow, not much personality. Overall an overpriced, awful experience. read more

Excellent Italian restaurants located in Enfield, Ct. Service was phenomenal and the owner kept checking to make sure we were happy. Had shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. Generous portion of both! Side of pasta was good with the sautéed string beans. Seating is inside and outside. Worth a drive to eat at! read more

My husband loves their sandwiches! Everything is always super fresh and it's a great value. There's a reason the place is a western ma staple. read more

Good comfort food, but a bit pricey. The inside decor could use some updates. The service was excellent.

You know something's wrong when you walk in to a restaurant right at twelve on a Saturday and it isn't crowded. The food was pretty good though my spaghetti had some water at the bottom of the serving bowl. Besides that everything was good except the music which to me was loud for a restaurant and for my taste horrible. I would go there regularly if the music wasn't so loud and kind of raunchy. read more

People need to stop expecting a real Italian meal from an American-Italian type restaurant. Figaro's falls into the bucket of American-Italian, and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you accept it for being just that: American-Italian. That's not the issue with Figaro's. The problem with it is that there are good American-Italian restaurants and bad ones. This is the latter. It is dark, dank, and outdated. The food has taste, but no flavor. If you're hungry and looking for some food to fill your gullet, this will do --- though there are better options around. If you're looking for fare that will inspire, I'm afraid you're out of luck. On the plus side, they make a pretty good toasted almond. read more

Figaro's Ristorante - Italian Near Me - Enfield, Connecticut

Love this place and have for many years. Despite the difficulty of the last few years still had excellent food.

Best chicken parm EVER. This place has been recommended to me a million times and I finally got the chance to try it out and it did not disappoint. The portions were so big I got two meals out of it ! The soup of the day was lentil and vegetables and it was delicious, and I finished off my meal with a really impressive espresso martini! Unlike others I've had that had too much cream in them, this had a really strong espresso flavor. Love this place 5 stars read more

Always excellent. Three menu items are as good as the best if not the best in the Greater Springfield area, pasta fagioli soup, angel hair bolognese, and escarole and beans. Try them. Guarantee if you are a fan of these dishes you will not be disappointed. I've been dining there for over 20 years. read more

To Ernie, Mike and May, Thank you for making our FINALLY it's time to "get-out-of-the-house" a rewarding experience. We have been cooped up working at staying healthy and last night--while eating your delicious food --we realized just how solely needed the dining experience was. Your patio-dining was indeed WELL DONE! Best, Susan & friends read more

This review is based on the Mother's Day brunch we went to yesterday. This is the brunch review only because our previous times at Figaro's have always been favorable. Always good quality and delicious meals. Yesterday was a little different. Yes the ambiance is 80's ish, but I'm ok with that because if the food is good, the service is good and the place is clean, then we're happy. Mother's Day brunch was ok. The actual buffet was decent, I wouldn't say great, but it was good. We enjoyed salad & rolls, pot roast, mashed potatoes, green beans, ziti, meatballs, chicken piccata and baked scrod. A few others options as well but nothing exceptional. What was super underwhelming was the dessert table. It was actually quite shocking, almost like a joke. Literally, there were styrofoam bowls with pudding already in them, cut up Costco pies and cakes, snack pack puddings (the kind you put in your kids lunchbox!) and individually wrapped pink wafer cookies. That dessert table looked like a couple of kids put it together. Sooo again, food was good and yes I'd go back for dinner on a regular day, but as for a holiday buffet, I think we'll pass. read more

We went to Figaro for the third time last night. The first two times were ok. Not great, but ok. After yesterday, however, we will NEVER go back. My husband is on a very restrictive diet of meal replacement shakes and about 2 cups of non starchy veggies per day. He ordered the side of spinach with garlic and olive oil, as he usually does. After finishing most of the dish, he found a cooked lady bug mixed into the spinach. We notified the waitress who quickly left with the dish. She came back a short time later and apologized and said the spinach was taken off the bill. My issue is that the (older) man who I think is the owner or manager, nor the other man who the waitress brought the dish to stopped by to say anything/apologize for there being a bug in his food. They stopped at just about every other table to say hi, how's the food etc, but didn't even glance our way. Based on this, even though the food is decent, I would never return to this restaurant and will not recommend it to anyone. read more

Best place in town for Italian food! Decent prices excellent servers. One downside..could use a deep cleaning inside and new tables/chairs. read more

Always Consistent, good food options, excellent service, friendly and welcoming ownership/management.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Fra Diavolo special and it was amazing! The flavor of the sauce was impeccable. The entree came with a chicken and rice soup and bread! Everything was fresh and delicious! It was about 3 meals for me, so bring your appetite! read more

I read one reviewer said she wanted to go to he Olive Garden; that would have been better than this place. I went here with family for a birthday dinner. I knew I was in for trouble when their website decorates their plates with pineapple slices and maraschino cherries. But the reviews on yelp were mixed so I thought let's give it a try. Where do I even begin. The decor is tired and outdated. The carpet looks tired and like it hasn't been cleaned professionally in years. Upon arrival the bathroom was open. By the end of dinner it was closed most likely from a sewage leak. I had noticed water running on the floor from the toilet with my first visit. They must pride themselves for their old school service style; large water goblets of cut glass to resemble crystal and serving you your salad dressing in individual stainless steel mini gravy boats. This charm was squashed halfway through the meal when the waitress asked if we were done with our waters because this half empty restaurant was running out of glasses. Their menu is pretty basic. Your Italian classics. Pick your pasta, pick your sauce. I laugh that "on the lighter side" consists of hamburgers rather than health conscious choices. Nothing unique or special. Some items are served family style. We ordered a salad for the table which was just a big bowl of iceberg lettuce with some fancier mescaline greens thrown on top like garnish. Even my husband said the tomato tasted dirty. When I asked the waitress what type of meat was in the lasagne, assuming beef or veal or mixed she replied; "it's meat". Finding nothing else that looked appetizing I settled for the "meat" lasagne. Tasted like it had been frozen. Just gluey and falling apart. My wine by the glass was either awful or had come from an already open bottle. I knew I wasn't going to get much out of this experience and just ate the bread for substance. I could hear the words of Gordon Ramsey like a ghost commentating in my head with every minute that passed as if this place was on "Kitchen Nightmares". Maybe it should be. This place could use a major overhaul. read more

We rolled in fairly late for dinner on a Friday night. I think it was after 9:30. The manager checked with the kitchen to make sure we could still grab dinner. Understandable given the hour. We had a nice meal here. It's you're basic Americanized Italian food. My wife had a salad, I had tortellini. The portion was huge! I had plenty left to take home. Sauce was pretty good. Our server was friendly and upbeat. She was helpful and checked on us regularly. Personally, I thought it was a good alternative vs. the chains that are in the area. read more

When I first moved to the area, my friend Nicole's boyfriend asked if I had been to Figaros and told me how awesome it was and how we should all go sometime. Two years later, we finally got here. A solid, old school Italian restaurant--not for your typical night out, but more for celebrating your grandfather's birthday. The decor is dated but clean, service is proper and classy and the food is plentiful but nothing to write home about, not to mention a bit pricey. Each entree came with a side salad to start, which was noting more than your average bagged salad mix with a cucumber and tomato on top. Sliced Italian bread was also brought over with cold butter. For my entree, I had veal saltimbocca --nice portion, layered carefully with spinach, prosciutto and cheese. Sides of pasta were customizable, I had the penne and vodka sauce (not my favorite as the taste was off to me but it'll do). Matthew had grilled chicken and vegetables, and he definitely had the nicest looking dish. Nicole is gluten-free and they were very accommodating to her needs and Craig definitely enjoyed everything he had. We all had a great time on our dinner date, however the place is geared more toward an older crowd, so I don't anticipate us returning. read more
