    The food was awesome (mushroom risotto and veal piccata as mains - there was nothing left on our plates!) and the wine was epic - such a deal for really great wine!! I can’t wait to go again!

    The BEST restaurant in the area! For the most delicious food, cozy ambiance, outstanding service... Cafe Figaro is a MUST. John, Will, Linda and the rest of the team provide an exceptional experience every time. And, the bar makes fantastic cocktails. Can't say enough wonderful things about this gem of a restaurant.

    Absolute best Italian restaurant we have ever been to. It has become our weekly Friday date night tradition. Every single thing on the menu is mouth-watering. The owner, Will, is the epitome of what hospitality should be like. He greets every repeat customer by name (which is basically everyone who walks through the door), goes out of his way to make every single guests experience even better than the last, and is just ultimately the most kind person. If anyone ever asks for a recommendation anywhere near this area - this will always be the #1 spot on the list.
