If you’re looking for the most authentic Italian food on the Gold Coast, this is the place to go. Owned and run by an Italian family, the chef himself is Italian! The staff are top notch. Fabulous service. People come from everywhere on Wednesday nights just for the ‘Cheese Wheel’.

For the first time in many year’s I opted to not cook a Christmas feast, due mainly to my large family of 5 adult children being all over Australia with their own families this year. Our son Nick is a Doctor on the Gold Coast so we got together with him and Figo Italian Restaurant and Bar was my choice for a true authentic Italian feast…we certainly were not disappointed, in fact it was everything I had hoped for plus more with the charismatic personalities of the wait staff! We felt so at home, relaxed and definitely well fed at Figo’s. Five stars to the Chef and wait staff 🎄❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Amanda T

Spent Christmas Eve on holidays here with my family. I highly rate the chilli prawn spaghetti, I loved it. Pinot Gris was also great. Rest of family got pizzas. They are big critics on there pizza. They said it was very nice 7.5/10 . Did feel that the pizzas were a bit over priced though. $27 for a margarita when you need two for your teenaged is steep.atmosphere was quite good but did get a bit loud upstairs.
