Figo Wine Bar

Cozy, beautiful and delightful! Everything about FIGO surpassed my wine bar expectations. I was here with a group of 7 and we absolutely loved our experience here.We were greeted with friendly smiles as soon as we walked in and were seated within minutes. Originally our reservations was for 5, however, we had 2 additional people and the staff accommodated us without any issues. They even offered the private space, since we were celebrating a bach party, but we opted to stay in the main area. Service throughout was exceptional. They also brought out complimentary champagne and cheesecake to keep the party going. OMG the wine selection and food menu?!?! STOPPPPPPPPPPPP. I went for the Merlot/Cab blend and it was smooth and delicious. Not as bold as I'm used too and I'm OK with that! It was sooooooo good! They also have cocktails, mocktails, spirits and beers. For food we ordered arancini, truffle fries and created our own meat and cheese board. Everything was fresh and divine. 4 apps + the meat and cheese board was the perfect amount for our group of 7. We left satisfied and not overly full. This is the ideal spot for a girls night out or date night. I really enjoyed my time here and can't wait to come back. =)

Extremely overpriced for quality and quantity. We ordered the bistro fries, arancini, and cheese board. The bistro fries were very thick but lacked the accurate flavor and seasoning to combat how thick the fries were. The arancini was nothing special. The BIGGEST scam was the cheeseboard! $7 per cheese/meat and we only got 3 pieces of soppressata! We also ordered 2 cheese items and they were both soooo tiny, it was mind blowing! The outdoor and indoor seating are both very nice, and the wine was also pretty good, but not sure if that's enough for us to be back. We also only saw our server twice - once to take out order and again to give the check.

i'd been meaning to check out this neighborhood spot for the longest and i'm glad i finally did! the restaurant is very cute on the inside - chic yet cozy. this is a great date spot. the service was excellent - our server was very attentive and i never felt like i was waiting around for anything.the mocktails were great! i tried the red line and the hair of the dog. the red line was very sweet but tasty, although i did prefer the hair of the dog. the hair of the dog tasted similar to a manhattan.the food was good, however, there are better italian spots in the city. i tried the arancini, dates, pear salad, gnocchi, tagliatelle, and cheesecake. the standouts were definitely the gnocchi and cheesecake. the pesto sauce in the gnocchi is fire!! most definitely top 3 pestos i've tried. you have to order this. the brulee on the cheesecake really makes the difference and there is a delish berry coulis. the rest of the food was good but i've had better versions. the arancini was kind of chewy and small. the dates were small as well - not great for $16. i'm confused why there were only 3 pieces of arancini when the dish is meant to be shared. the salad was kind of bland.

Delicious! It's a bit pricey for what you get but we absolutely loved everything we ordered. We wished that some of the small plates were more reasonable price wise. $16 for watermelon is a little nuts. That being said the food and drinks were delicious! The pesto gnocchi was our favorite.

Amazing spot all around and I've been here a good handful of times over the last few years. I dined here most recently with friends and we love that the plates are all small so you can try a whole bunch of things and share. Here's a run down of the food: We had the arancini (wasn't my fave, a bit dry), beef carpaccio (so good), dates (100% amazing definitely order these, best thing we ate), Brussels sprouts (so good), fries (not my fave). It's fun to mix it up and try a bunch of different things. In the past I've ordered pastas here and always love those as well. Our service on this particular night was sloooooow which is why I knocked a star off, we had to flag down our waiter whenever we needed anything and it would take a long time to get his attention. Also by the time we left it was pretty packed and so loud it was hard to hear our table's conversation. The place is small and a bit of a puzzle to get around. Overall, an underrated spot and one I plan to come back to again and again. Great for girls night, family in town, or a date. Definitely recommend!

Cute little neighborhood spot! The service was great. Our waitress knew our group was having a "catch up" dinner and gave us space which we appreciated. She did a great job giving us a break down about the wine as well.The Ena Rosso was very easy to drink and on the lighter side. The Valpolicella was a bit closer to what a Cabernet would taste like. The Enna Rosso was our favorite! They both were very different wines for sure. Food: - Arancini: so so yummy! If you love truffle, you have to get this because the sauce for the balls are just so stinking delicious - Meat&Cheese board: normally I go for the meats but the meat just didn't hit right. I don't think it has anything to do with the freshness but maybe the supplier? Idk, something just didn't make me want to keep grabbing for more! The cheeses were all delicious - Burrata: love a red pepper and goat cheese combo - Pear Salad: this was on the larger portion side. It was a good salad with an appropriate amount of dressing for me (I like a little bit more dressing) - Gnocchi and Tagliatelle were our favorites. Both were so fresh and had the right amount of sauce to pasta ratio to soak up all the goodness. Overall: this amount of food was enough for 5 of us girls and we had a great night.

Nice little wine bar in a convenient location in Lakeview, right off Belmont. I stopped by Figo for the first time yesterday after walking by many times and always wanting to try it. I went for happy hour, which is from 5-6 at the bar. The happy hour menu includes $9 selected wine, $10 cocktails, and a couple italian tapas plates. We went for the charcuterie board - we got to choose 6 meets/cheeses and it came with a couple more garnishes. The presentation was so cute! It only came with four pieces of bread which was not even close to enough but luckily they were happy to give us extra when we asked. Service was good and the red wine we chose was fantastic. Overall a nice spot to stop for happy hour, and I look forward to trying it for dinner soon.

Had to leave after sitting at the table with empty plates and empty wine glasses for over 45 minutes. Couldn't even get our check from anyone. The first 3 wines I tried to order they said they don't have. This is after walking to check and coming back and saying no. Eventually I ask if they can please let me know if they have any of the wine selection at all given that we were the first ya to arrive, with a reservation. Wine selection by the glass is pretty bad, especially when the only wines you would have liked are gone. Then they just..never came back. We weren't done ordering food and wanted a second glass of wine, but they just never came back. Restaurant empty with only two tables taken. Just stood around chatting while we sat here with no water no wine no food. We were planning to spend the evening here but opted to walk almost a mile to the next wine bar we could fine because it was so offensively bad here and we felt so unwelcome. I've actually been here before and had a perfectly fine time, so it was super embarrassing to bring out of town company here to receive such horrible treatment. Really, REALLY bad service. I can't remember the last time I had to just abandon a meal in the middle because we couldn't get service ... in an almost entirely empty restaurant. Seriously. Wish them nothing but the best but I will never come back here and feel so embarrassed that I brought company here. Not even close to the best this city has to offer.

10 out of 10Randomly searching a nice place to celebrate my pre birthday with my best friend in Boystown tonight. Luckily, I found this place next to the Belmont CTA Station of red line. Excellent happy hour selections between 5-6 pm. Three top dishes that you MUST TRT, Pork belly, Grilled octopus and meatball. They were incredible amazing every single bites.Service was outstanding by Mariam and her colleagues.Love the atmosphere of the place. And they also have a few private event space upstairs.Looking forward to return again soon!

Amazing!! I had my boyfriend's surprise 30th birthday here and spent ~6 months planning it with the guidance of the team at Figo Wine Bar. Aria was incredibly helpful, working with me to plan a menu and recommending popular dishes as well as the appropriate timing and organization to structure the night. In short, the night was a spectacular success! Figo gave us the entire basement privately for the whole night which was incredible and helped make the night a true surprise. They even served house made Prosecco as a toast to end the night. Also, they were incredibly fair on the price to rent out this space.I've been here a handful of times besides this surprise party, and the food is incredible EVERY TIME. The ambiance is cozy, the staff are wonderful and friendly, and it truly is just a gem of a spot. I'd highly recommend for ANY occasion - the food is a hit every time!
