My wife and I love Figlio. We go there at least a couple of times a month. The food is good to great.

Figlio's is located in Calhoun Square, in Uptown, and offers a mix of pastas, salads & sandwiches that are traditional Nouveau Italian cuisine. Is that an oxymoron to say traditional nouveau?? Anyways, the atmosphere is great, with a very trendy, hip young crowd, and lot's of fun people watching onto Lake Street. The look inside is very elegant, yet casual, very American bistro, and it has a lot of great nooks to eat in. Mon-Fri from 4-7 pm they have a great happy hour, with $2 drinks & mini appetizers. Their regular menu is moderately priced & the food is worth every cent. As far as the cuisine goes, it's great. Not superb, but great. They have a ton of fun appetizers, with great fusion twists to select from. Their Baby Field Greens salad with cayenne pecans and dried cherries is DELICIOUS, and has inspired me to try it at home. My friend Nick swears by their Figlio BLT, saying the bacon is not overly salty, and perfectly cooked for being super thick. I have had their pizzas, which are ovenfired and delicious, and their Steak sandwich, which was a little tough, but delicious nonetheless. Figlio's should DEFINITELY be checked out for happy hour - with only a $2 committment all around, why not. You'll probably find you love it, and add it to your repertoire of great places to eat in the Twin Cities!

The last time I went to Figlio was way back on my birthday in March, but it could not have been a better time or place to celebrate! I went out for an intimate dinner with my fiance. The bread that we started out with was fantastic. Then, he got this "bucket" of seafood that was to die for. It had shrimp lobster, and tons of other stuff in a light tomato sauce. I got this fusilli pasta with tomatoes, feta cheese and chicken, and it was absolutely fabulous. Throughout the meal we had a great server who knew EVERYTHING about the menu, and he topped it off with free dessert at the end. He even put a candle in the cake! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for sophisticated Italian food. Enjoy!
