Figulina

This was an incredible dinner, and I think what was really the icing on the cake was our server, Melody. I was asked if there were any allergies at the table and I said I was very allergic the grapefruit. She right away asked the kitchen if they had any grapefruit and let me know that there wasn't any, which I really appreciated. I was just extremely grateful at how attentive and thoughtful that was and wanted to mention it. She was very attentive the entire meal and knowledgeable about the menu. It was three of us at the table and we were very much looking forward to this dinner, so we ordered two appetizers, four pastas, and one dessert to share. It was definitely more than enough to go around. We also ordered the bread to sop up the sauces, and I swear I could have ordered three more pieces just for the sauce alone. My favorite was the duck confit and chanterelle raviolo with sherry. That was INCREDIBLE. Can I buy a pint glass of the sauce please? We also ordered the tartare, the Market Lettuces, Orecchiette, Scarpinocc, and Rigatoni. All were beautifully made and presented. For dessert we had the sweet potato creme brulee with a ginger snap cookie and maple marshmallow on top. I had the Amaro Falso for a mocktail! All in all, what a wonderful dinner and experience. We will definitely be back!

Had to give this place a try since it's a brand new restaurant in Raleigh with homemade pasta in house. Made reservations and they require you to put a card down, I do not normally continue to place a reservation when places ask for this. We were seated right away as our reservation was for when it opened. Our waiter was super attentive and descriptive of the food, we barely had a chance to greet one another at the table. Each had a glass of wine to start and placed our food order. My friend ordered the Carbonara and I ordered the Duck Ravioli and focaccia bread. Our meal arrived in 5 minutes, way too quickly. Some people might enjoy a quick turn around but it seemed like they were trying to get us in and out as quick as possible. The carbonara was great, a standard dish with noodles that were very delicate and wavy. The ravioli was good, it is one big ravioli in gravy with mushrooms on top. It was a very savory meal, but for the price I would have preferred another as well. It was a unique twist on a classic dish and tasted a bit like a barbecue ravioli. Overall glad I tried the new restaurant, but do not believe I will need to stop again. Very expensive for a glass of wine and ravioli. The staff were great and outside patio is a great option.

Set a Resy notify a few weeks ahead and landed a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday night. (RIP Humble Pie that used to be in this spot, but Figulina is a worthy new tennant!)I tried:+ Scallop crudo - generous portion but meh flavor. Fishy + Whipped ricotta - awesome, loved the prosciutto + Heirloom tomato - great, but comically tiny portion + Market lettuces - perfect + Off-menu foccacia - perfect + Rigatoni - loved this, the eggplant was amazing+ Mafaldine - perfect + Bucatini - good+ Scarpinocc - good+ Watermelon tart - ok. Kind of like watermelon jello with a crust, not my cup of tea + Chocolate stout cake - perfectSo yeah, some dishes were misses, but overall I really liked our meal here. Vibe inside was nice and casual and they have a little store that's fun to browse. Will also note there is a slightly musty smell when you walk in the dining room, but it's not really noticeable once you're there for a bit. Humble Pie had it too, so I'm guessing it's a quirk of the building, but I wanted to mention it in case anyone is sensitive to that kind of thing. 4.5 stars.

The food was delicious. My favorite was the Wagyu Beef Tartar and the Raviolo. However it's a bit overpriced for the portion size. P.S: Make sure you ASK for bread because it's not on the menu and the server won't tell you about it either. We saw bread being served at the table next to you and ask our server about it. She said that apparently the chef doesn't want it advertised so she didn't mention the bread to us while a couple other tables got it. Which Italian restaurant does have or offer bread these days?

We ordered three pastas, and each one was in my top ten of all time. All three were singular and distinct, but not just a one-note bite. It was hard to choose a favorite, but I think the scarpinocc was my favorite. Mafaldine at a close second, and the agnolotti at a close third.I loved that you could see the fresh pasta being made in the kitchen, and I also love a cold High Life bottle with dinner. Cucumber gazpacho was fresh and different, and the bread was great too. Compared to some other high-end pastas in the area, this clearly won out for me. Great quality, portions, and craveability. Color me impressed. Will definitely be back soon!

I love pasta, and I wanted to try this new restaurant out. I made a reservation for 2 on a Wednesday night. The inside is nothing notable, and there aren't a lot of tables, especially large ones if you have a big group. It is neat to see them rolling out fresh pasta dough. The main problem I had was the giant fan above our table making it quite cold. It was also somewhat loud.I ordered the tagliatelle which was very good, albeit small for $25. The menu is also quite small. Our waiter barely said a word the whole evening. While I enjoyed my pasta, I would rather go to Gravy where I can get free garlic knots and a much larger portion of food that is just as good.

My wife and I went to Figulina for our monthly fancy date night and, though the food was terrific, we had a mixed experience.We got a table underneath a large ceiling fan which was making us very cold and uncomfortable. Though I will not hold that against the restaurant, it did make the night a little less enjoyable. The server assigned to our table was not around very frequently though, and did not offer much insight into the menu, which was full of a lot of foods we were unfamiliar with. One positive aspect though was that the interior design has a cozy and inviting vibe while also feeling high end at the same time. It's a nice place to spend time.Once we were served our pastas, we were very pleased. My rigatoni was unlike any other dish that I've had and I would recommend it to anyone. It was a 5 out of 5 dish. My wife really liked her Bolognese as well.The one other part of the experience that didn't agree with us is that we walked away kind of hungry because the dishes were somewhat small. We later read online that it's intended that everyone order 2 dishes from the menu, which explains why we needed more. However, it wasn't really apparent to us or explained to us that that is the expectation, and the individual dishes are already quite expensive. Because of the menu design and price, I don't expect we will return. But if that doesn't bother you and you have the money for it, I would bet that everything on the menu is worth trying because our food really was excellent I hope that information helps somebody out

Some of the most unique and delicious Italian I've ever had. The bread (costs $5 but is 100% worth it), the heirloom tomato, the risotto, the octopus, the drinks... all delicious! The food can definitely push you out of your comfort zone as far as what you think of when you think Italian in America, but it's all amazing. The service was perfect. Incredibly friendly staff who helped guide you through all the menus and food came out in appropriate times (I.e. not too fast where you're rushing through your dinner but no long waits at all). Ambiance is nice with the pasta window, indoor and outdoor seating, and bar seating if needed. Replacing the beloved Humble Pie meant there were big shoes to fill and I think Figulina stepped up and knocked it out of the park

You are going to leave hungry unless you order two dishes per person. The pasta is good, but nothing better than you can get at many other restaurants. If your gauge of quality food is mainly based on Raleigh, it's good. If you travel and have lived other places, it's average - with the portion sizes tipping the scale toward not returning. I give it two years before it closes, if it maintains its current format. People will try it because it's new. Most will not become regulars.

I was sad to see Humble Pie go, but also really like the pasta concept of Figulina. The menu is small, so if you aren't looking for pasta, this probably isn't the spot to go. My friend and I sat at the communal table and enjoyed watching them make the fresh pasta in what seemed to be a dedicated pasta room. Service was super friendly and I loved their whole aperitivi concept. I ordered the lillet blanc the way they suggested with soda water and an orange. It was refreshing and a great Spring drink. We got the whipped ricotta as an appetizer which I did really like with the beets. For pasta we went with the cappetelli and nori bucatini. I thought both were excellent. The portions are small, but the flavors are rich. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them and definitely wanted to lap up that cappetelli sauce with the spoon they provided. I'm looking forward to them getting their patio up and running, would love to dine in again soon!
