FigoWelcome to the neighborhood, Figo!My Italian language professor at Stanford first sent out a note to his students about Figo, how delicious the food was and how warm and welcoming the people were. We went this past Saturday night and immediately became fans ourselves. Delicious, unique dishes, fantastic thin crispy pizza (mine had brussel sprouts, bacon and carmelised onions). interesting wine selection and open, inviting atmosphere. The tall ceilings and all the tile made it a bit too noisy for my taste, as the food and wine are such that you want to share them over conversation with friends. A few rugs would go a long way to solving this.
I definitely will return and bring friends. Grazie mille!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent menu but the smallExcellent menu but the small plates and Pizza are awesome. Service is top notch.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMDining at Figo in Palo AltoWe really enjoyed our meal at Figo. Food was delicious, especially the Farro and the brussel sprouts.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dinner choice!A Friday dinner after work for two. Great location in downtown PA (on University next to the Apple Store). Very attentive service. Started with grilled calamari on bed of julienne veggie and a spinach salad. Both were excellent...You don't often find grilled calamari, this was very fresh, tasty, and done right. The salad was very good - generous portion with a tasty, warm dressing...The main course was the wood fired pizzza Diavola, which was delicious - a very tasty, thin crust with a delicate mix of sauce, cheese, and calabrrese salami, perfect for two...
A very thoughtful, and reasonable wine list, and some excellent beers...
A great option for dinner after work...If you don't want to linger, they can make it quick for you.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst Time and Back SoonIt was my first visit to Figo and I couldn't have been more pleased. Food and service were both top notch and I will surely return. My visit was a business dinner and was a smashing success, with all parties looking to return. A great option in Palo Alto for business and pleasure.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AM
