    This place was such a great find! Our dishes were fantastic, bartenders were so helpful with recommendations. We will be back

    A very well balanced Italian restaurant with some eclectic flavors and great food. They offer plenty of seating both indoors and out. The dishes ordered were a sweet potato with popcorn and a honey glaze. A rigatoni with bread crumbs and mushroom. A pear dish with a sweet glaze. The flavor choices were truly amazing and the dishes offered would ignite the palate with sweet and savory flavors. Loved this restaurant!

    Came for drinks and dessert. We were immediately welcomed with a friendly greeting and smile by every person. Tiramisu was light and delicious. Really a perfect one. Paired well with my espresso martini. The space was warm and inviting. I'll need to come back for an entree! Great experience.

    Fig is a favorite we particularly like to come on Sunday for brunch when sometimes they have live music on the patio a eclectic playlist that's fun and servers with great skills They serve a sprouted bread that's wonderful as is or toasted, which is the only thing they actually don't make on site Our table is full with plates and sides and plenty to take home afterwards so a real epicurean approach to Sunday brunch

    Figulina is wonderful!  This is quite an Italian restaurant with a twist and a cool vibe. I came with my boss and other coworkers for our holiday dinner, and it was fantastic. The menu offers a variety of options of pasta dishes with a twist. I went for the Dopio Ravioli (collard green pesto, celeriac béchamel, ham broth and pecorino sardo). To drink l, I had a cocktail with mezcal. My team members also had the ravioli and other plates I can't remember. Everything was delicious!  The service was superb with professional and helpful attitudes. Common spaces were clean and comfortable and the restaurant was located in a central area easy to access and with a few street spaces and couple of paid parking lots nearby. Overall, it's a fantastic restaurant for a special occasion or if you simply like pasta with a delicious fusion. 100% recommended.

    The food was exceptional, the service was good, although sluggish, and the ambiance was exceptional. We will surely be back.

    Mmm pasta. What else do you really need to know?? Actually- correction to my earlier statement- mmm homemade rotating seasonal menu of pasta that also include some very tasty and refreshing drinks (alcohol and N.A.) ...need I say more?? Everything we ordered was phenomenal but the star of the show was a seasonal strawberry jam pasta. The perfect sweet/savory combo. My one complaint is that I wish the portions were slightly bigger- classic American, I know. Pro tip: make a reservation! The restaurant is small (but very cute) and I believe there is some outdoor seating but that is obviously weather dependent.

    Absolutely incredible. My husband and I agreed that this was one of the top 3 Italian spots we've ever been to, and we LOVE high quality Italian food. Pasta is made in house and you can tell. Only slight downside is that it's tapas style so the plates are smaller than most Italian places but that was fine with us. We're not from Raleigh but if we ever come back, we'd 100% plan to come here again.

    This place was on our list for a few months as I really wanted to eat a bangin' pasta, finally since we were close by we decided to go. For a Tuesday night it was full and bustling. The decor was simple, elegant loved the whole vibe and feel of the place. We were in a rush to get home and hadn't made reservations but the team was so accommodating and nice! Service was quick, friendly and lovely ! We just got the two pastas - Triangoli and Busiate. Triangoli was amazing! Loved the flavors, protein was cooked to perfection. I was very disappointed with the Busiate as it sounded good on paper but didn't translate well! There were a few more options that sounded interesting that I should have tried instead!

    The new menu launch at figulina is amazing!! The restaurant truly feels complete now with addition from their new fryer and grill. The service was impeccable, everyone was so friendly and accommodating and made sure we had the best experience. Mocktails were delicious as well. The steak was perfectly cooked, the chicken was huge and flavorful. The squid ink pasta surprised me, it was so clean tasty but still delicious and the sticky toffee pudding was the perfect ending. It was a romantic vibe in their at night as they changed up the lighting and added more art. Perfect for a date night or dinner with friends.

    My husband, FIL and I came here on a Tuesday night for dinner. We were able to make a reservation a few hours beforehand which was really nice. We were seated immediately and our waiter was very nice. He made sure to keep refilling our water whenever we were running low which was great. My husband ordered the cappellacci, I ordered the squid ink Tajarin, and my FIL ordered the spaghetti. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed the cappellacci the most. I loved the texture of the pasta and the sauce was delicious. It was definitely our favorite. I liked my squid ink tajarin but wished there was more sauce to it. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and definitely a great place to come for a date night. I also liked that the tables were spaced apart so we weren't sitting close to the people next to us. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for a nice dinner!

    UPDATE: I've visited Figulina a couple of times since the initial visit I reviewed and each time, I still have enjoyed my meals. Last year included a very good Mafaldine Carbonara with country ham (those that know me know I love me some real true carbonara). This most recent time, I went with friends and we enjoyed a lot of selections for our meal. We started off with marinated olives and focaccia bread that we got extra virgin olive oil to enjoy with it. Both were nice starters, fresh and excellent. Sharing the tuna carpaccio next, we were pleasantly surprised by the taste on this one as each component gave a light and refreshing finish. For my main course I went with the Chicken Milanese served with a complementing vin jaune sauce. Combined with the Parisian gnocchi, lion's mane, and baby frisée, it made for a delicious meal. Of note, the chicken stayed very crispy while not being over done. I'd definitely get this one again, although I would like to try the Cacio e Pepe Tonnarelli pasta selection as well on another visit. There was a bit of activity in the pasta making area but not a lot, I had hoped my friends could see a lot more in action. Our server was attentive and informative but one observation is that our main meal choices did take a bit longer than anticipated (but definitely worth the wait). I continue to think that Figulina deserves all five stars and hope that future visits yield the same!

    Mafaldine with Crab
    Maya R.

    Run don't walk. This place had the most perfect vibe for a quiet yet subtly upbeat dinner with my in-laws. To start with the food, which is why you're here, delicious does not do it enough justice. Among the three of us, we managed to go with three starters: grilled asparagus, market lettuce, House focaccia bread, and the most interesting Tuna dish I've ever had. I assume they adjust their menu frequently, so I hope when you're reading this I have not sold you on this Heaven when it has left us. But seriously I've had a lot of tuna dishes and in combination with being a huge Gin fan, this was ultimately one of the most memorable starters I've ever had. So yummy and the Negroni flavor really stands out. I know what you're probably thinking. Why would you have grilled asparagus as a starter? But listen with the mushrooms and the cream base it sat in, it was too flavorful to be your classic 'side dish'. It needed It's own moment. My husband finished his Paccheri faster than I could snap a picture, but he practically licked the plate. My man dish was the Mafaldine with lump crab - and seriously to die for. The pasta was cooked al dente and the flavor of the crab was complemented well with the crunchy saltine drizzled on top. We also had the seared scallops and I would say this is a lighter dish. So if you're super hungry treat that as an adjunct. Really liked the blushing cucumber cocktail! Our waitress was very familiar with and was so nice in showing us around the menu. Figulīna has mastered the chill yet vibrant energy a restaurant aims for. Pay for parking was available. Right next to the restaurant and Street parking is also an option. One of the best restaurants I would recommend visiting in Raleigh.

For the Red Sangria be prepared for STRONG elderflower flavor (which I like but family members found off-putting.) Service was Ok.... Friendly, helpful. Add +30-60 minutes to your schedule (or more with a bigger group or on a Saturday night. We were there 2 hours for party of 5). We did not get all of our food but when asked they "re-fired" and brought to us. We asked for pepper which never came. We asked for another round of bread which never came. Not my favorite tapas restaurant in Raleigh but solid nonetheless.

From the seamless online ticketing to the elevated atmosphere, everything felt intentional. The DJ brought the energy, the food delivered, and the complimentary mimosa (with a virgin option available) was a nice touch.

The food itself wasn't bad, but the service and setup really took away from the experience. From the beginning, there seemed to be a lack of organization. You pay for the buffet at the host stand, but there weren't wristbands or another system to clearly identify who had paid. We were also seated and then asked to move because of a larger party. Our server told us we could start getting food while she helped another table and that she would come back for our drink order. About 20 minutes passed and we eventually had to flag her down. Since the restaurant seemed short-staffed, we decided to order two bottles of champagne rather than individual drinks so we wouldn't have to wait even longer. When we went to the buffet, there were no plates available. We brought it to someone's attention and waited several more minutes for plates before we could actually get our food. The food itself was decent, and there were dishes I enjoyed, so I don't think the issue was the menu. The brunch operation simply needs more structure and staffing. I think brunch should be reservation-based so the restaurant can better manage the number of guests and tables. There should also be a clear check-in/payment system with wristbands, more servers dedicated to drinks, someone bussing tables, and someone monitoring the buffet to keep everything stocked. It felt like the same handful of employees were trying to handle everything at once, which created unnecessary delays. It's unfortunate because the food wasn't bad, but the overall experience wasn't enjoyable enough for me to return. With better organization and staffing, I think this could be a much better brunch experience.

Unfortunately, the experience started off badly and only got more frustrating. Our reservation was for 7:15 PM, and although we were running a little late because it was pouring rain, we called ahead and were told our reservation would still be held. When we arrived, we were told to wait for a table to become available. This was already a little frustrating because there was an entire row of tables visibly unoccupied. After waiting 30 minutes, we were still sitting at the bar with no updates. At that point, it started feeling really disorganized. As more time passed, my friends went up to the hostess stand multiple times trying to get answers about what was going on, but the hostesses were rude and not helpful at all. By the time we were finally seated, 1 hour and 15 minutes had passed after our reservation time, which is honestly unacceptable when you have a reservation. At that point, we were considering just leaving. The service once seated was also not great. The food was okay, but definitely not enough to make up for the poor experience overall. If a restaurant has such limited space, I don't think they should overbook reservations if they can't actually seat guests close to their reserved time. No one wants to wait over an hour after making a reservation, especially for a special occasion like a birthday. I really hope management sees this and improves their reservation system and customer service, because this was a disappointing way to spend a birthday celebration.

You may have been to its sister restaurant, Element Gastropub before. This restaurant is located in the Glenwood south neighborhood. There are several garages nearby and street parking. The decor lends itself to a botanical theme which is on brand for a vegan restaurant with its floral murals and hanging plants. The bar has beautiful emerald green tile and comfortable brown upholstered stools. Brass and bronze accents are appreciated throughout the space also. The owner stated the color palate was inspired by the Wizard of Oz. They have an extensive craft cocktail menu. We ordered the Tropic ozz and Blue dream. Neither disappointed on depth of flavor. For meals, we ordered the Whiskey cola rib plate and the Sriracha hunee chikn. The rib plate did not disappoint. The rib had the texture of a tender steak and the BBQ sauce was just enough to not take over the dish. The squash pickles have a bit of kick, but was not overpowering. The potato salad had a great balance of mustard and vegan mayo. The Sriracha dish was also delicious, but could have used more sauce which the owner happily supplied. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The menu offers enough even for indecisive eaters and everything that we ordered was delicious. The food was filling. The only downside was that we came on a Saturday night and there was only one waiter. Despite being the only front house staff, he maintained a positive attitude and gave great service.
