Creative Loafing, Best of Atlanta 2003-2004-2005

Best of Citysearch-2005 Highly Recommended

"I was blown away. The pasta and sauces are excellent and there's always an interesting special (or two) available. The ambience is great, a sort of casual hip. And to top it off, its an excellent value"

Zagat Survey 2004 and 2005, Rated Excellent.

"They love what they do and you can taste it …dazzling fans with scrumptious perfect pastas and innovative, delicious sauces, served with enthusiasm by a charming crew-and you can't beat the price."

"Last week, I came down with the mother of all gastrointestinal viruses. This is my way of telling you that I didn't eat my usual grand quantity last week, subsisting instead on Gatorade and bananas.

"When I first met Figo, I fell completely in love with the new Italian in town. I am not the only one. The small pasta restaurant opened its doors in the summer of 2002 and quickly gathered a large and loyal following..." More

"For many a meal eaten out we work under the strategy of 'I've got a twenty in my wallet and I don't want to stop at an ATM machine or bust out the credit card.' Often this is just a noble goal (especially for two people) and we end up overshooting, but it does give you a nice starting point for the evening..." More

"One of my new best friends... I mean, favorite restaurants!
