Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at this modern Italian restaurant Fig Italian Kitchen and bar , and it was an absolute delight! The highlight of the meal was their Brioche French Toast, which was simply divine. The toast was perfectly golden, soft and fluffy. The cinnamon added a warm, aromatic sweetness that elevated every bite. The presentation was stunning, with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of fruits that balanced the dish beautifully. The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant—a perfect blend of chic and cozy—made the experience even more enjoyable. This spot is a must-visit for brunch lovers looking for a unique twist on classic comfort food. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their dinner menu!

We had a wonderful experience at Fig. The food was excellent. It was the warm and inviting staff that made our evening; however. The chefs took care to make our friend with allergies an excellent dinner with no issue at all, one of the waitresses, Ava, took a selfie with me to send to her mom because we share a name, and our server, Jesse, was so kind and attentive - he even gave us a bottle of Acqua Panna to go. The chefs mentioned they would sell us bottles of infused olive oil when we wanted. It felt like dining with family. 10/10 would dine again.

We had anazing meal here for my birthday. Our server (Gigi) was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the wine and food menus. Everything we ordered had special flavors we couldn’t have replicated at home. Delicious!

I’ve definitely found my new favorite spot for fine dining in Austin. Fig’s interior is gorgeous, and the food is outstanding! Definitely order the brioche rolls, mussels, anything made with pork, and ask about the desserts. Excellent wine selection, and the cocktails are to DIE for! Service is also impeccable.

This place is FIRE!!! The patio ambience was perfect and relaxing…the food was 5 stars down to the last bite…yummy mimosas and very attentive service. Our waiter Tyler was the absolute best! He took care of us and really made us feel at home. Also, parking in the retail garage made it a one minute walk to the restaurant! I highly recommend!

We sat on the patio & enjoyed live music on Saturday night. The truffle butter with the brioche bun was fantastic. The muscles came highly recommended and they didn’t didn’t disappoint! We also got 2 of the pasta dishes and are blow away with the delicious combinations. Tyler was a great server! Thank you for the anniversary dessert!

We dined to celebrate some good news and wanted to try a new place. We have been delighted the whole evening. From the warm welcome, to great drink and food pairings, the atmosphere is quiet and intimidate, great for a date night or one on one. our waiter, Micky, has been interesting, funny and engaging while not hovering too much either. I highly recommend the mushroom and little gem salads, the rigatoni was soo sooo good and you can’t go wrong with it. Will definitely be back for our next special occasion.

I was pleasantly surprised by the service at this place. It’s just wow. 😍😍😍😍 We came with our dog, and they brought water for our pup. We were seated at the spot we wanted. The staff constantly checked on us to see if everything tasted good and if we were comfortable. My boyfriend ordered a spicy pizza, but it turned out to be too spicy for him since he's not used to spicy food. The restaurant manager quickly and effortlessly replaced his dish with another one. He was very satisfied. The food here is incredibly delicious. Before the main course, we were served freshly baked rolls with salted butter. We sat outside, and I really loved the atmosphere. We sat by a tree with string lights, and there was very pleasant music playing. I’ll be recommending this place to my friends.

One of the best new places we've eaten at! I'm surprised they don't have more ratings. Their house cocktail and pasta dish we got were amazing. Also maybe the best potatoes I've ever had(forgot the name one of the appetizers) anyway get here before it's impossible to get a reservation.

Made from scratch pasta and entrees? Say no more! The dishes were so tasty, full of flavor, and generous portions! My husband got the rigatoni which was rich in flavor, pasta cooked just right, and so filling! I got the half chicken and it literally fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. Not to mention, the polenta was SO rich and cheesy. As if the food weren't enough reason to visit, the service is impeccable. They are friendly and welcoming from the minute you walk through the door to the moment you get up. Our server was on point with recommendations, super helpful, and went above and beyond the entire time we were there. As for the ambiance, it's a romantic and intimate setting. We sat inside where they did a great job designing the place with a mix of modern and garden vibes. Definitely recommend checking out Fig! We will be coming back!

The ambiance at Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar is undeniably modern and moody, creating a stylish and intimate dining experience. The service was excellent--which made the evening enjoyable despite some disappointments with the food. While the appetizers were solid and enjoyable, the pastas unfortunately fell short. Even though they use fresh pasta, the flavors and execution didn't quite hit the mark. Out of all the pasta dishes we tried, the rigatoni with fresh ricotta stood out the most, offering the best balance of texture and flavor. Overall, the restaurant has a great atmosphere and service, but the food left us wanting more. If they refine their pasta dishes to match the quality of their starters, it could be a much better experience.

Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food & Cocktails: 4/5 Parking: 5/5 Value: 4/5 We went here for Valentines dinner with a limited three-course menu. The appetizers were superb; beef tartare was unbelievably delicious. Entrees leaned towards classic flavors for both ravioli and duck. Unfortunately, the cook on my duck breast was tough, and a bit overdone. The ravioli was unmemorable for me, but tasty and perfectly cooked. The desserts shined. Both Panna cotta and pistachio cake were short-lived refreshing experiences on the palate! Overall, I would recommend to try if you haven't been. Personally, I will continue to explore other Italian restaurants before I come back to Fig.

My husband's birthday is usually a days-long celebration because he's a foodie and can't make up his mind on selecting one place. This was the third and final grand dinner for his special weekend. We made it early enough to start off with a couple of items from the happy hour menu, and then ordered other items from the regular menu. The old fashioned was really well prepared. I was impressed because it's hard to get a quality cocktail in Austin. I also tried their espresso martini and that was nice too. We started with the little gem salad, crispy potatoes and arancini. The flavors were delicious, the style of preparation uses (too) generous an amount of cream in each dish so the food is rich and heavy, but it's delicious. The crispy potatoes was the one dish we would skip - they were too thin, crispy and oily. For our entrees, we got the rigatoni with sausage and the vegetarian preparation of the Campanelle. I enjoyed the use of seasonal root vegetables such as beets and turnips in my pasta. I had to take most of it home for another meal because I was already quite full on the appetizers. What absolutely blew me away was our excellent service by Ana? I wish I had written down her name. She was sweet and helpful, attentive but not overbearing, warm and friendly but not too chatty - truly the epitome of excellent service! They have free retail parking in the back of the restaurant building so that's convenient too.

On the corner of the 704 with patio views to the historic Broken Spoke - this Italian (with European influence) restaurant has been open for about a year. It has a contemporary interior with very dark walls and furnishings. Services was professional, courteous but a little irregular on speed (both prompt and yet a little slow too). Food was very good though. - Margherita pizza was tasty. The crust was reminiscent of the flavor of a Neapolitan style but yet had a thicker crust for more chew. - Octopus - so tender and soft in a nicely complimenting sauce that didn't overwhelm the delicate octopus - Bucatini - delicious dish with clam broth, mussels, shrimp and clams. The clams were really good and the shrimp perfectly cooked. - Beef Dino rib - falling off the bone and so tender with immense flavor. Chanterelle mushrooms compliment. This one is very good and one to share with a group given how rich it is. Drinks were made well and very stiff.

Quickly becoming a fave location. Happy hour is value, full size wine pours, apps and pastas. At the bar service was great. The Caesar like before was crunchy, dressing zesty and creamy. Cacio e Pepe noodles had bite and stretch, good coating of cheese and a perfectly spicy black pepper that was undercover but identifiable. Was recommended the panna cotta dessert with an elegant pour of a sparkling rose. This was the perfect hh and solo dining experience that I plan on spending my Christmas Eve with this team.

My family and I returned to Fig Italian Kitchen to celebrate my birthday for dinner and it didn't disappoint. My husband made a same day reservation in advance. We drove into the parking lot, parked, walked to the restaurant, entered and were seated quickly by the host. After being seated in a booth we were quickly greeted by a great waiter that took care of us the entire time. He asked what we wanted to drink we all asked for water. He handed us some menus and went to get our glasses. When he got back he poured our water and then placed our order. I ordered a mocktail called the Crimson Spark which had ginger beer, orange, and cranberry. It was flavorful and a delight to drink. For starters my family and I shared some House Brioche Rolls with truffle butter. The rolls were warm and fluffy. The truffle butter was a yummy addition to the rolls. We also shared the Crispy Potatoes which had aioli, salsa and herbs underneath the potatoes. They are a crispy but when you eat it with the other ingredients you get a burst of flavor. Yummy Crispy Potatoes. For our dinner my husband and I shared our favorite dishes the Smoked Pork Chop which comes with pickled mustard seeds, herbs, a honey nut puree, and whey. It was delicious. All of these ingredients in one bite is just amazing. We also shared the Pappardelle Pasta which has braised beef, peppered shallot confit, smoked celeriac, horsey sauce, crispy garlic, and nasturtium. I'm not sure what some of the ingredients are but the ingredients in the pasta made the dish out of this world. The noodles were perfect and the braised beef was excellent. It was delicious. For dessert we shared the Earl Grey Pannacotta which had pears, almond crumbles, pear sorbet, and Meyer lemon. This dessert went quickly. It was very tasty and not overly sweet. The Meyer lemon was tart but when all of the ingredients were mixed together the flavors evened each other out. Very tasty. Overall it was a wonderful birthday experience. Parking was easy, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the service was awesome, and the food was spectacular. I'll return again in the future.

Garage parking in the back. Service was outstanding. Ambiance is perfect for a date night, a larger party, a celebration. Happy hour is throughout the whole restaurant not just the bar from 5-6. Stand out dishes from happy hour menu were the crispy potatoes. They stayed crispy and the herbs on top were so good. The mussels with the grilled focaccia, the mussel shells were small but they actually had a decent amount of meat for mussels. Bread was on point. The truffle butter with the brioche rolls was great and the bread was perfect for absorbing sauces. I'm not a mushroom fan but the arancini were my groups favorite app, It had a great presentation. All of their pastas are made in house. I love seafood so I went with the bucatini pasta. My table guests enjoyed it over their pappardelle pasta The bucatini was light and creamy and not overly filling. He said the pappardelle pasta was a little thick compared to other pappardelle pasta but did love the sauce it had with pasta We decided to end dessert with all 3 on the menu. My personal favorite was the brioche roll and coffee gelato. Great flavor, bread was not heavy but fluffy Then the passion fruit and chocolate. Tjid was cold dish and very rich but that didn't stop us from finishing it The earl gray pear panna cotta had hints of the tea. Was not over powering and with chunks of pear. They also do 1/2 bottles of wine on Tues.

My mom and I ate here the first week of October. They have been newly open for a couple of months at this point but the restaurant was very quiet/empty. Granted we ate on a Monday night, which isn't a night that most people eat out. We started with the brioche rolls and mushroom arancini, which are two of their bestsellers and what everyone orders. I chose the rigatoni pasta. The appetizers were definitely miles better than the pasta, which was way too salty. The I did love the texture and other flavors of the rigatoni but please tell your chefs to fix their salt-o-meter! The pasta reminded me of other Italian places I've been to that seem to "try too hard" by putting too many ingredients or flavors into one dish. While the other pastas on the menu looked interesting, I'm worried that they would give me that type of feeling. We were dealing with a family emergency during dinner and the servers respected our space well and helped us speed up the bill when we finished eating.

Parking: Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar made our dining experience easy from the start with the convenience of a parking garage located right in the building. Parking was free, which was an added bonus and made arriving a breeze. Atmosphere: We enjoyed perfect al fresco weather that evening, and the ambiance on Fig's spacious outdoor patio was just what we were looking for. The natural shade provided by a beautiful oak tree, along with a fresh, open setup, created a comfortable, laid-back vibe. Live music filled the space, adding to the atmosphere without being overwhelming. Fig is also dog-friendly, and everyone on staff welcomed by fur baby, making it a relaxed, pet-welcoming experience. Food: Since it was World Pasta Day, we couldn't resist trying a variety of pasta dishes! Most were outstanding, and my bucatini was cooked to al dente perfection. The pappardelle had a delightful flavor, though my friend's agnolotti was slightly toothsome for their preference. Ordering was fun and effortless, thanks to the occasion, and we even had the chance to explore their fall menu, which launched that night. The cocktails complemented the meal well, expertly crafted and delicious. They serve a decent Proseco Rose wine - which is always a welcome discovery! Service: Josiah took excellent care of us--attentive and friendly throughout. We also appreciated the ease of splitting the check, which made wrapping up a relaxed dinner with friends even smoother. Overall: Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar was a lovely choice for an al fresco evening, with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more open-air dinners and to try new menu items in the future!

The vibes are great, perfect for a date night. It's not too loud, which I really enjoy! The only thing I didn't like is the lamp that is right in the middle of the table. We moved it over to the side so we can see each other. Service is great-the server explained what the popular and recommended dishes are. We got: -Bucatini-great if you love pasta on the sour side -Pappardelle-probably the best pasta I've ever had in Austin! Lamb is delicious and portion size is great too! -Spicy Italian Pizza-this is meant to be an appetizer but it's a big portion for two people. It's ok, but doesn't stand out. -brioche and gelato-can't miss out on dessert! Love the gelato and basil flavor If you check in on Yelp, you get $10 off a $50 order. They also give you another $10 coupon to use next time.

Some of the best Italian I have had in Austin. I ordered the Rigatoni and the pasta was al dente which is hard to get nowadays and was full of flavor with the spicy sausage. For starters I highly recommend the mushroom arancini. If you're looking for some cocktails I would recommend their fig old fashioned or an espresso martini. Both drinks were delicious. The vibe and ambience are very sophisticated and modern. A great place for happy hour after a long day at work.

Fig is a brand new Italian restaurant on South Lamar! They have a parking garage that's an easy 5x minute walk so don't worry! This place has plenty of different ambiance's to fit your mood! You could sit outside and listen to music with a small or large party. They have nice quiet dining arrangements like most establishments and finally they have a bar setup to round out the three different vibes this place could offer! Fig is definitely going for an upscale fine dining experience and they definitely delivered upon that! They replace the dishes and silverware after every dish that comes out. The majority of the food was fantastic, but some of the food lacked 5/5 all star potential. I would definitely come back and try some of the other half of the menu. Pizza was absolutely banging.

This was my first time at Fig and I came here for the Valentine's Day with my partner and was very disappointed. There was a set Valentines menu, which I'm usually okay with, however the food options were limited and not appetizing in regard to it being an Italian restaurant. I got the halibut as my main dish and was terribly disappointed as it was sitting in a broth and had no flavor. The best part of the meal was the dessert and we both left feeling hungry. The price was $95 per person, not including drinks, which I felt was way too high considering the quality and limited menu items. The food items from the normal menu all look very appetizing and I wish they would've included some of these items on the speciality menu. I would love to come back to try the dishes on the normal menu and give it another chance but at this point I am still very disappointed.

Ugh, I love trying new restaurants. Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar just opened on South Lamar, and even though it's a 30 minute drive from my apartment, I had to make the trek with my friend. I think it's a really nice restaurant, and they've obviously already sorted out all the potential logistics kinks and timing concerns that all new restaurants have to figure out. There weren't any at all during our visit. Every member of staff is super friendly and attentive, and service is impeccable. Timing of the food came out perfectly, and we never waited long for the next appetizer or entree. Appetizers were delicious. We loved the mushroom arancini and brioche bread with truffle butter. I will say that the entrees slightly disappointed us both. My friend got the chicken and said it reminded him more of a rotisserie chicken in that there wasn't anything special about it. I got the rigatoni pasta, and I think it would've been perfect but it was too salty for my taste. Great amount of protein and the flavor is definitely there, though. I would definitely come back again, and their menu is so great and extensive.

Let me start by saying that this location has been kinda cursed and I'm just hoping one restaurant makes it and stays! Could be Fig.. who knows. With that in mind, I'm giving them 4 stars because they opened only 3 weeks ago and have room to improve, but they only barely deserved 3. Pros: easy and free parking garage, easy reservation (open table), clean, nice staff, good location, and the appetizer was delish, we had the mushroom risotto balls, my cocktail was very good (but too expensive so it should be in con) Cons: overpriced, portions are too small, I mean... look at the size of this $24 pizza and $32 pasta, and nothing about the pizza was worth mentioning. It wasn't bad. It wasn't great either. I wanted to love the place, but really I just didn't. Another expensive italian place, except there are better ones in Austin. I hope they improve and make it though, and will be happy to give them another chance.

This place has such a nice interior. Very date night vibes. When you walk in the hostess will greet you and seat you from reservation. Our wait staff was so nice and knew what to recommend. We made it for happy hour which has some nice deals for us to choose from. We started with little gems salad which was nice and fresh and crunchy. The dressing was delicious. You can tell its made there. We then got the Margarita pizza. It was so good! Especially since they make it in their wood fire oven. Literally you eat every piece of it cause the dough is delicious. We had to order their famous pork milanesa which did not disappoint. It tasted like parmesan crusted chicken. It was huge and delicious. Definitely a must order. Only thing with it was ours was half fat nut they were nice enough to fix that for us. They recommended the mussels too. The broth they came in was so nice. It was thick and tasted like tomato basil soup. The buttery bread with it was great. Only thing was for the price it barely came with any mussels. We ended with the hazelnut tart which was devine. It was not overly sweet. Had that dark chocolate taste with espresso whip cream. Definitely dont leave without getting this. They had good cocktails along with white wine. I will say they need to step up the rosè by glass selection because they only had one still rosè to choose from and it was awful. All in all ill definitely keep coming back here.

This spot is really pretty and we loved the ambiance inside. Service was wonderful and our server was super sweet and friendly. While we weren't super impressed with the food, I'll note that we visited prior to the grand opening so I'm sure some things were still being worked out. We ordered the following: Build your own Charcuterie: 3/5 We chose the prosciutto, apple mostarda, and whipped ricotta. The mostarda and whipped ricotta were good, but we didn't like the prosciutto. It looked and tasted like it had just been defrosted, and the texture was super chewy and thick. It was really cold and just didn't look like it was ok to eat, so we eat had a couple bites and then left it. Cacio e pepe: 1/5 We didn't like the flavor of this, meaning there was little to no flavor at all. We liked the texture of the pasta, but it just tasted like mild black pepper. Carbonara: 1/5 We also didn't like the flavor of this and it tasted exactly like the cacio e pepe. We were pretty sure that the same pasta had been plated separately. House brioche rolls: 3/5 We liked the top of the roll which had the truffle butter flavor. However, it tasted like a normal grocery store roll and was a bit dry. Crispy potatoes: 5/5 This was our favorite dish! The potatoes were perfectly crispy and had a great sauce on them. I ate almost the entire thing, it was so delicious! Pappardelle: 2/5 While this pasta was better than the cacio e pepe and carbonara, I think we only felt that way since we really disliked the other pastas and expectations were low. The pappardelle itself had a nice texture and the lamb was cooked well. However, something just felt off about the dish and the flavors didn't come together that well. Overall, we really liked the ambiance and service. The manager and our server were really nice and did comp the cacio e pepe and carbonara, and also offered to give us another pasta on the house. However, we were super full and didn't want to ask for another pasta. I think this place just needs some time to work out the kinks in the kitchen.

Came here for our 1 nice dinner out in Austin and it was worth it! We came right when they opened and to our surprise, they have HH from 4 to 6 PM everyday! We got a good amount of items from the HH menu including the Moscow mule, brioche rolls with truffle butter, little gems, crispy potatoes, and cacio e pepe. We ordered the pappardelle from the regular dinner menu and the chocolate tart. Things I would order again are the: brioche rolls (truffle butter hits the spot!), little gems, and the pappardelle. The little gems salad was so good and that 6 min egg really complimented it well. The pappardelle was cooked perfectly and the sauce was fantastic. The crispy potatoes were good, but they're def a space filler if you want to try a lot of other items. They also don't reheat well. We took it home and it wasn't the same, but they were super crispy while dining in. The cacio e Pepe from the HH menu was probably our least favorite dish. It's pretty underwhelming. I would skip that next time. The chocolate tart for dessert was also just ok. Not worth it for $14. Service was very good and our waiter Teddy was super attentive. I would def be back for HH and to try other items on the dinner menu!

What a perfect night. We closed out World Pasta Day with an evening on the patio at Fig. The weather was beautiful. The food was beautiful. The service was impeccable. We each had different pastas and tried each other's. The sauces were all incredible. We finished with a truly singular chocolate cake and glasses of port. The dishes had unexpected textures and tastes. We can't wait to go back.

Food was good-- really liked the butternut squash pasta. Restaurant is not very accommodating to dietary restrictions, and there are very few vegetarian options, so likely won't come back.

This place was awesome! We made a reservation easily for safety. They have a large indoor dining area as well as patio seating that looked gorgeous. We came for happy hour as they have amazing deals but they times had just changed so we ended up not being able to get the discounts, check online before you go. The servers were all so nice and continually checked on us to make sure we were satisfied. The food was insanely unique and delicious!! We were told the menu changes seasonally so we will be back again soon. Yum!

This is our favorite restaurant. The food is always amazing. The drinks are great and the wine is also great. The hard thing is to know what to order! My favorite is still the rigatoni!

We dined her shortly after their Grand Opening (I believe they had their soft opening couple months back). It's always exciting trying out new restaurants but even better when the food is delicious. This new restaurant did not disappoint. The server was knowledgeable and made some great suggestions. The mushroom arancini, pork Milanese and chocolate tart were the highlights. Check this new restaurant out!

Me and my family had a stelllar dining experience at Fig! We came upon the recommendation of our daughter and son in law. I had the pork Milanese & my wife had peperdelli pasta. Our little one had the spaghetti. We also had the rolls with truffle butter. The spaghetti was phenomenal, probably even better than spaghetti warehouse downtown! Quite possibly the best I'd ever tasted. All of our waiters recommendations were spot on. I sincerely felt like it was a birthday meal experience. Be forewarned, the spirits are super potent. Super elegant atmosphere. I wished I would've dressed business casual. I was blasted off to Mars after the first old fashioned, and took me 5 glasses off water and an hour to come back to earth. I also had a vodka mule in between. I couldn't taste the alcohol, so beware.

OVERVIEW: An excellent and promising new Italian spot in Austin! Decent location along S. Lamar, free and easy parking, happy hour deals, great patio for when it's cool out, incredible service, and creative and enticing menu options. They describe the menu as a mix of Italian and European flavors. Our server, Tyler, was great! Very relaxed, sophisticated spot perfect for catching up with friends, date night, or celebrating. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes! Free retail parking available in the apartment garage to the right of the restaurant! - Reservations? Yes, you can make reservations ahead of time. - Happy hour? Yes, as of 8/6/24 they have a daily HH 4-6pm with food and drink specials. FOOD RATINGS: - Brioche rolls (5/5): These are $5 during happy hour and are fluffy, flavorful, buttery, and love the truffle butter that comes with them. I could eat a basket of these! - Little gem caesar (5/5): A solid caesar salad, probably in my top 3. This was great flavor, crisp and fresh, and had just the right amount of dressing. The watermelon radishes add a nice touch of color and crunch! A steal during happy hour, but I would order regardless! - Pappardelle (5/5): Our favorite entree. Fresh, thick pasta. Deeply flavorful sauce, melt-in-your-mouth braised lamb. Love the pop of sweetness from the pickled sultanas (golden raisins) and the roasted cipollini onions! - Mushroom pizza (3/5): A great mushroom pie, if you love mushrooms. Almost a little overwhelming with the mushroom sauce and mushrooms on top - would be better with a white sauce or just garlic butter base. Crust was great and generous on the umami flavor! But I couldn't eat the entire thing as it was just too much mushroom flavor. - Fig pizza (4/5): Crispy prosciutto was a nice way to add crunch to this, with the creamy, melty fonduta cheese. A good balance of flavors.

Parking: ample free parking in the garage age. Restaurant: beautiful inside. Dinner time was dark with dimmed lighting. Appetizers: rolls were good with the truffle butter. Mushroom arancini were delicious. Gem salad was ok. Too much cheese & not enough dressing. Crispy potatoes - would pass on these. Salmon appetizer - would pass on this too. Meal - smoked pork chop and bucatini were the highlight dishes. Pizza was well cooked.

Had a superb time dining at Fig for dinner. We tried a variety of items including the wood fired pizzas and handmade pastas. We were thoroughly impressed with the creativity and thoughtfulness that goes into every dish. We thought they were well balanced and had great bursts of flavor. We particularly enjoyed the mushroom arancini, beef tartare, pappardelle, and basil gelato. The service was immaculate and the ambiance is modern elegant. Free parking is available in the retail garage nearby. They are currently in their soft opening phase

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food but some highlights below!! I went with a group and everything ordered was split between 3 people. Starters: Brioche rolls with truffle butter - the rolls were fluffy with a crisp buttery top and the truffle butter perfect in flavor and texture Mushroom Arancini - these are a must in my opinion. The outside was crunchy and the inside was creamy. The sauce it's served on top of pairs so well with it Mussels - the sauce was the star of this show Entrees: Rigatoni - just a perfectly balanced pasta dish. Nothing was overbearing in flavor, everything was so well balanced from the creamy stracciatella to the sausage. I wouldn't have minded if the sausage was spicier but would order again and again nonetheless. Smoked pork chop - we wanted a protein and this was a hefty portion and something great for splitting. Again the sauce on this was the star of the show. Dessert: Chocolate caramel cake that was texturally more like a shortbread candy bar. It wasn't a big portion but a delicate end to a great meal. And if you love espresso martinis - order one!!!

Great food! Teddy our waiter was awesome. Chef came and said hi. Mussels and pork chop were stellar. Will be back!

Nice spot on S Lamar. You can make a reservation if needed to make sure you have spot saved. Wasn't packed when I ate there though. Ate outside since it wasn't very hot and they had live music. The house made pasta was very tasty along with the drinks. Server was very polite and made great recommendations.

We were so pleasantly surprised with Fig. First off, the vibe inside was great - cozy and upscale, definitely great for our date night. We got the bucatini and the pappardelle and finished with the chocolate torte. The bucatini was our favorite- it had the perfect mix of butter and lemon and a little spice. The chocolate torte was to die for. The location of the restaurant is so unassuming, but parking was extremely easy (and free). Would highly recommend this place. We'll be going back and desperately want to try the pork Milanese and half chicken.

Went here last night for dinner with a couple of friends and loved the experience. The inside dining space is beautiful and cozy. We got the brioche buns, mushroom arancini and the crudo for appetizers. The apps were all great but the arancini particularly was the best I've ever had. We got a few pastas for entrees and they were all incredible as were our drinks. Our server was wonderful and had a great sense of humor too

Food was delicious and plated beautifully. The service was excellent. Our waitress was well trained and was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Ambiance was perfect. I would highly recommend for a date night even though we brought our kids. They had kid friendly food which was great too. Their wine was delicious as well. I got one of their Pinot Noirs.

For what this is it's a 5 star. If the prices were even slightly higher it would be a 4. Boarder line great value. The ingredients are locally sourced and they claim that they do not use seed oils in their meals. This is qualifies them for a 5 star review and I think the food backs up the opportunity. I would love some diversity on the menu. Many dishes felt similar and the dish choices need some more adventurous items. Another note is a lack of classic Italian items. As part of the adventure for the dishes I hope the chef works on some more authentic Italian meals or that they drop the "Italian" from the name. It just divulged from the cuisine a little too much to hold "Italian" in the title. Great South Austin option. Will be back frequently.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Fig this past weekend. Excellent food all the way around and good wine options. The fig pizza, half chicken dish, and panna cotta dessert were particularly outstanding. Highly recommend!

Fig is the newest addition to a neighborhood that is badly in need of what Austin is lacking... real honest, nice, people, amazing food, and a place you just want to stay and linger all night. They have only been open a week and I would get in here fast before it will be too busy to get a barstool. Mussels in delicious garlic tomato boulliabase, house made foccacia, and panzanella salad with fredericksburg local peaches, and a white chocolate basil gelato with house made brioche for dessert. You're welcome Austin!

We recently tried out Fig Italian Restaurant on South Lamar and were thoroughly impressed! The service was AMAZING, the apps and mains were delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful! We tried many apps including the mussels, crudo, steak tartare and the potatoes. Everything was so delish I really can't pick a favorite. The crudo had a vinegary taste but I loved it! For mains, I tried the pappardelle and one of their wood-fired pizzas. I am allergic to dairy and they accommodated so well. I love that the have free parking in the 704 apartments garage. I can't wait to go back!!

Outstanding gourmet Italian experience. Service was excellent, server spent time explaining dishes and wine pairings. Presentation and seasoning was thoughtful and delicious. First time visitors who will be back.

Good pasta. It was made in house. The atmosphere was cozy and we sat outside on the patio. Service was friendly and attentive. Would recommend!

Saw this place advertised on Instagram and after reading about the chefs background decided to give it a shot. Really great meal and service throughout the night. Food: Mushroom Arancini was excellent. Great flavor and cooked to perfection. I wouldn't have been drawn to this dish but was sold on it by the waiter. Paperdelle Pasta was excellent. IMO the best in town. Spicy Italian Pizza pretty good. Of the dishes ordered it wasn't my favorite, but that is more of a credit to the other dishes. Chicken Entree was outstanding. Very large portion size and extremely flavorful. Polenta and sauce were on point. Chocolate tart was good. Great way to end the meal. Wine and cocktails were also solid. Specifically the Old Fashioned and Italian Amarone. Service/Other Things: Waiter was attentive but not overbearing. The only hiccup was he forgot to put in the Halibut which was ordered. That said, they threw in some drinks etc. to make up for the mistake... Pricing was reasonable for the quality and generous portion sizes. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

Nice atmosphere, but this restaurant managed to mess the most basic dishes up. Do not recommend

Came here once alone for happy hour and got addicted to say the least. This pasta is the kind of pasta you get in Italy. You eat it you don't feel too full or too bloated. You feel happy and satisfied :). I am addicted to the pasta here I just moved to Austin I have like no friends and I would rather eat this and be a hermit crab. 10/10 haven't had anything else but the pasta and the cucumber social

We had an amazing dinner experience. Service was five starts and food was delicious. We ordered the Mushroom Arancini, the Bucatini pasta, and the Flounder. Beautiful decor. Highly recommend.

One of my new favorite restraunts in ATX. Went there for an anniversary dinner and couldn't be any happier. Our server, Ava, was fantastic and extremely helpful. The food was some of the best italian I've had in the past several years - I couldn't reccomend the crispy potatoes, mushroom arincini, or the arrabiata pasta enough (they also had great deals for happy hour). I can't wait to be back!

The potatoes for appetizer were great and the truffled butter! A few kinks remaining to work out since it is so new. The vibe inside is great and service was very friendly. The charcuterie board didn't come with any bread or crackers so we were a little confused about that.

The food was pretty good, especially the Arancini balls. My wife and I shared a pasta dish, which was very good, but we felt it was a bit overpriced for what it was. The service however, was off. Our wait person was friendly enough, but seemed a little distracted. The bottle of the wine we ordered could've been more timely, as also for the bread ordered with our entrées, which never came until after we finished our meal and then they showed up after we asked. When I brought that to the attention of the wait person, once receiving the tab, I requested that the bread service be removed. Quite frankly, I was a little shocked that they just didn't take it off the bill. Management had to be involved to remove the bread and they would only take one of the two ordered off the bill! We found this very odd, especially for a restaurant that is not even at their opening night, which is a few days away! We were offered nothing in compensation, such as a dessert or even a Lemoncello, which is pretty traditional for most Italian restaurants, and in many cases, complementary anyway. I feel like the whole place would run better, be more authentic, and customers would receive better treatment/service there there was some level of Italian influence in the management team that has a better understanding of the cultural aspects of running an Italian food establishment. With so many new restaurants and particularly Italian restaurants coming online in Austin, it's not clear that I would visit again, but I'm not totally opposed.

We live close by and have been very excited for Fig to open their doors. Cocktails struck the balance of strong and tasty. We had the mussels to start and the focaccia was crispy but soft enough to soak in the delicious sauce. We also had the rigatoni which had a great spice balance and the lamb pizza which had really fun flavor combinations! Melanie was a great server and all the staff were very attentive. We can't wait to make Fig a regular date night spot.
