Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Figaro offers "amazing food" and "outstanding service" in a charming Italian setting. Guests rave about the knowledgeable staff, especially Will, the sommelier. The wine selection is "unmatched," and dishes like pasta and seafood risotto shine. It's a "hidden gem" with a cozy ambiance, perfect for any occasion.

    We had a wonderful evening celebrating my mother’s birthday at Cafe Figaro! The staff are all so very nice. Linda, our server was exceptional. She was so kind and really made our evening so special. We love the food -they have my absolute favorite Capellini Pomodoro! Molto bene!!! I live in San Diego, but whenever I’m visiting my mother, we make it a point to go to Figaro! The food is delicious, but most of all, we love the service. Will and Linda and the rest of the staff are outstanding!!! Thank you for making my mother’s birthday so special! We’ll be back soon!!!

    Good menu with good food. Lovely server. We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation so the owner gave us each a glass of champagne when we were seated. We appreciated that. Restaurant was very busy so it was noisy.

    The service was great. Super friendly servers who also double up as bar tenders. They made an amazing Lemon Drop. We ordered a Caesar which was a bit underdressed but the Short Rib Ravioli and the Seafood Risotto were outstanding. The Chocolate Mousse and the Tiramisu were a fantastic finish to a great dinner.
