Figo Leyton

As an Italian myself on holiday with my family in London we truly appreciated both the food (that I can say if far better then some places in Italy) and the service. Antonella, very kindly served us, and kept us company the whole night. We order a variety from the menu from steak, salmon and pizza, all of it very tasty.

Ate there a couple of times being brunch last time and we loved! The octopus salad was amazing! I like the spacious environment and decoration. Take away food though I ordered many times and it's not good as eating inn unfortunately. Last order was seafood risotto and there was 2 prawns in it. Two prawns! 🫤

As a starter we had Calamari and Carpaccio. Calamari was a bit disapointment because were touhg (rubbery, especially small pieces), tastewise and presentation was good but next time I rather choose differernt starter, however Carpaccio was delicous, no stringy stuff stucked between your teeth. Light and tender, melt in your mouth beef. I recommend a little drizzle with their house garlic oil. For main we had pizza Burrata and Seabass. Pizza was very nice, thin and crispy dough, fresh ingredients, huge creamy Burrata in the middle just spot on! Seabass was a star for me. Presentation was pretty decent, nice three fillets of juicy seabass with delicate crispy skin and the garnish with it was just completing the dish so well. Honestly the best seabass in London I had so far. For dessert we chose banoffee pie, that was outstanding sweet dot. Very well balanced not too sweet or heavy on cream, also presentation was eye catching. As a cocktails we had Sour and Old Cuban both were flavourfull and very well presented. Overall good atmosphere friendly and caring stuff, minimum waiting time everything was just right, except the Calamari. Anyway already thinking about what we gonna have next time when we visit, I believe it will be soon.

Service friendly and good and food portions reasonable but breaded chicken dry and needed a wet sauce. Great spaghetti and cream sauce. My husband had lobster which like his pasta spaghetti, he enjoyed and he thought tasted ok but too much hassle eating the lobster having to scrape out the fish from the shell. Great chips and toasted bread. Costly lunch however with a glass of wine each; over £80 total bill. We visited in the afternoon and only one other couple was there. Will definitely make the experience a one off...way too expensive.

Impressive large open terrace on a sunny Sunday in May. I had a full English which was spot on, actually perfect, I cleaned the plate! and because it was a bank holiday me and my friend enjoyed a long cool cocktail. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely decor, a great addition to Leyton High Road, will be going again 😎
