FIGO

Behind the iconic Coca Cola sign, in the vibrant heart of Sydney, FIGO serves relaxed Italian dining with a traditional yet refined touch. The open kitchen sets the tone: a gentle hum, the clatter of pans and the comforting promise of house-made pastas.

Seasonality leads the extensive antipasti. One evening might begin with Burata del Giorno, artisan Pugliese-style cheese matched to the moment, or Porchetta Romana, slow-roasted pork belly brightened with fennel. Flavours are clean and generous, the kind that invite another sip and a longer conversation.

Pasta is treated with reverence: Pappardelle della Nonna ribbons into Sardinian pecorino, while Spaghetti Al Lagarosto brings lobster, cherry tomatoes and a white wine gloss. From the secondi, Controfletto di Wagyu brings a deeply savoury finish, and Cotoletta alla Milanese gives barramundi a crisp, golden coat.

To pour alongside, there are more than two hundred labels of Italian wine and a cocktail list that is always evolving. Close on something sweet, perhaps the signature Figo Tiramisu or a slice of Torta Nocciola e Cioccolato or linger over the Cheese Selection with house-made marmalade, honey and Sardinian bread. Make a date and let FIGO twirl your evening with a playful Italian flourish.
