    This is a wonderful venue. A real Italian menu with variety and reasonable prices. It also has a good vibe. Fun. We had a unique artichoke appetizer, veal piccata, pasta, and wine. All delicious. We also walked out with a pizza in a box. As full as we were, you cannot pass up their pizza. It is simply and truthfully, the best Italian pizza I have ever had in this country. Like sitting down in Naples, Rome, or Florence. It is outstanding.

    I have dined here many times. Tonight was extremely busy since it was Valentine's Day. t was unusual to have to wait for an entree or server but under the circumstances I can understand, Each meal is carefully prepared for the customers. and every table was full for my 7:30 reservation., ordered the Pasta with shrimp as a main course, and calamari to start. They were both excellent and well. seasoned. My wife ordered carpaccio as her appetizer that she enjoyed and the sea bass which the said was absolutely delicious. That came with a potato dish and lots of vegetables. The surprise ending was two chocolate covered strawberries that we both enjoyed. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine from their extensive wine list. This place is really a hidden gem that beats all the most well--kkniwn names in SW Florida in my opinion.

    Ambiance, food and service were all excellent. We enjoyed the professional service and the serene atmosphere that allowed us to talk, and be heard during dinner. It was a packed house, but our servers made it feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. It’s been awhile since we dined at Figs. Can’t imagine why, because we always enjoy it. We will be going back SOON!

    I love this restaurant. We had a lovely private booth next to the wine room, but our neighbor (a young woman and her date) was very loud. Not drunk, just an obnoxiously loud voice! Your servers were very attentive as she was also very demanding...polite and friendly, but very needy! LoL (I laugh because it became comical...almost like an SNL skit) My husband and I were trying to have a conversation, but truly she was so distracting, but at least somewhat entertaining. That said our dishes were amazing and our servers were great! Your staff never disappoint!
