Food Highlights
- Parmigiana di Melanzane
If you’re a fan of traditional Italian comfort food, you can’t go wrong with the Parmigiana di Melanzane at Figo. The eggplant is tender and well-seasoned, perfectly layered with rich tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. It’s comforting without being too heavy, and the flavours are well-balanced, making it a great way to start your meal. It’s classic, but executed so well that it feels like a special treat. - Lobster Tortellini Pasta
For something a bit more indulgent, the Lobster Tortellini is a real standout. The pasta is fresh and perfectly cooked, with each tortellini stuffed with sweet, tender lobster. The rich, buttery sauce complements the seafood beautifully, without overpowering it. It’s a dish that feels luxurious but still comforting, and one that makes you want to savour every bite. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the mood for something indulgent. - Banoffee Pie
The Banoffee Pie is a perfect finish to the meal. The base is wonderfully crumbly, and the layers of toffee, banana, and whipped cream are sweet but not overly rich. It’s the kind of dessert that’s just the right balance of indulgent and light. You’ll want to take your time with it and enjoy every creamy, comforting bite.
