figidini

2nd visit. The yummiest artichokes I ever ate! This restaurant has its own uniqueness. They give you scissors ✂️ to cut your pizza 🍕 with, this is fun/different! A fresh and unique spin on appetizers!, not the usual frozen/fried stuff you see on menus elsewhere. FRESH and made to order! Charred lemon 🍋 peel, fresh pesto! 👨‍🍳 bold flavors, fresh quality ingredients. Nice bar area. The restaurant is small but so what? Worth a visit 4 sure! I’ve tried 4 different pizzas, flank steak, salad, artichokes, bar drinks were good too! Upscale Mediterranean restaurant bravo🤌

Really great pizza! I tried the margherita pizza and it was excellent, the dough was perfectly cooked to have the right softness with a nice crust.

The pizza is delicious, i love the crust! Nice rustic place. The service was OK, not through the roof or down south. Staff were nice but something was definitely off. Not a fuzzy warm feeling, so dont expect a warm greeting. Service could be more genuine. Customers can feel the service. Other than that, the pizza crust was the best here.

I’m Italian and I would very happily come back to have this pizza. Exceptional quality dough. I haven’t tried their specials but rather opted for a margherita with mozzarella di bufala, which was very nice.

Great date spot in downtown Providence. Our waitress was attentive and helped us select a wine based on our preferences. The goat cheese salad was delicious with the goat cheese itself being creamy and a good portion. For the pizza we had the Tartufo which was so good. The combination of cheese, spices, prosciutto and mushrooms was perfect. We will definitely be back.

A cozy retreat with warm servers..the Marg pizza was delish and bar server's recommendations were on point. Great place to meet up and have a chat. Looking forward to next visit. A bit magical.

One of the best "meals" I've ever had !!! Small and Cozy, small plates of a wide variety. The PIZZAS are outta this world fantastic !!! Owners Frankie and Kara have something really special here !! Top shelf service from Regina, very friendly and helpful with menu knowledge and suggestions !! And a great Bartender in Max(?)...5 + ⭐️ & 2 👍HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!

I came in with a friend on Friday night around 7:30, without a reservation. Luckily we were able to be seated at the bar pretty quickly. The host and bartender were so friendly and the bartender made an excellent mocktail. Beets are one of my favorite foods so when we were told the pizzas would take a while, I took that opportunity to try the coal roasted beet special. The portion was huge and I loved the taste. The burrata pizza was also delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

Came to figidini with a friend and we enjoyed our meal! The ambiance was nice, though a bit dark. We both got red wine and started off with an appetizer that was a special. It was some sourdough bread with cheese and some tomatoes on top. It was a good start to our meal, though it may have been better to have something more veggie based. The menu was smaller than I expected! We got the prosciutto pizza, which ended up being enough for us to share. It was pretty good, with the right amount of cheese and crunchy crust! It did take quite a long time for the pizza to come out though.

As people who are always chasing the best pizza around, figidini is our favorite Neapolitan pizza in the states. It even rivals the best we had in Naples. No hyperbole. How it's still under the radar is beyond me. Perfect high-hydration dough, quality ingredients, and a small, but well-curated and executed menu. The specials are almost always worth checking out, too, as well as the homemade gelato and cheesecakes that are always changing for dessert. Whenever I'm in Providence, it's one of the spots I can't miss. From the friendly staff to the excellent food and cozy atmosphere, it's just a place I always love to visit. It's smart to call for reservations just to be safe because it can get busy if there's a show or event nearby. Also beware that your safest bet is to go earlier so they don't run out of dough. I'd hate for anyone to miss out on some of the best pizza around. Enjoy!

Came here with some girlfriends on a Thursday night and had so much fun! It's a small little restaurant, but very personable wait staff and delicious food. Food is a bit pricy for the size, but still very enjoyable and would come back anytime!! Charred kale salad: SO GOOD. unexpectedly good. Great smoky flavor, also with great mix of textures Pizzas: thin crust, but very well done! crust is doughy and charr-y at the same time :) Nduja pizza: so good. white pizza. pairs very well with the hot honey! Burrata pizza: red, saucy, also pairs well with the hot honey! Drinks: I got the pride of providence which was delicious! fruit and also unexpectedly strong. I would definitely get this again if you want a good time Parking: street parking only, which can be a bit of a hassle in the downtown area :( would recommend ubering if you want to drink because parking can be annoying.

WOW! Great pizza, great staff, great ambiance. I've been wanting to try Figidini for over a year now and I'm glad I did. You can see the kitchen and the pizza oven from dining room. It was fun to watch them make the pizza. It doesn't take long at all from start to finish. We tried the Burrata, Margherita, and mushroom pizza. Everyone of them was fantastic, but our favorite one was the Burrata...we had to order another one. The red sauce is simple, but so good. The crust is light and fluffy on the outside. It was floppy on the inside, but that is to be expected with such a light wood fired pizza with Burrata in the center...no complaints here! Cut it with the scissors and enjoy the great flavors that shouldn't be disturbed with any other ingredients. I was very tempted to get other toppings added to my pizza, but I trusted the menu and I was very glad that I did. We were a party of 6 that included 3 kids that are usually picky eaters and they want to go back for more.

I've passed by figidini so many times during the day when I walk on Washington Street in downtown Providence, but I have never been since they open only for dinner at 5:00pm. I finally had the chance to visit figidini on a Wednesday evening. My husband and I were the first ones inside and were informed by the hostess/waitress named Kara that all the tables are reserved, but we can sit at the bar. Inside, along the left wall, are cozy tables that seat about 14 people and on the right is a long bar that seats about 10 people. Outside, there is a petite patio with heat lamps that seats eight. On the wall, there are three shadows boxes featuring birch wood. Kara informed us of the food and drink specials on the chalkboard on the back wall adjacent to the restroom. I ordered the Hudson North Caramel Apple Cider. This was a really good apple cider. I must get more! We started with the grill special which was grilled oyster mushrooms and polenta. This was delicious and warmed us right up. We didn't leave anything on the plate. The flavor profile of mushrooms is unique since they are cooked on a wood fire grill and the taste was rich and robust. We also ordered an arugula pizza and added cremini mushrooms. They gave us scissors to cut it which was unique and fun since usually pizzas are usually already precut. The arugula pizza has mozzarella, pecorino, and 24 month aged prosciutto di parma. It was so flavorful and delectable. I loved the fluffiness, thinness, and crispiness of the crust. The wood fire oven gives the pizza a smoky taste and is slightly charred. For dessert, we shared a slice of maple walnut cheesecake. This was such a sweet way to end the meal. I absolutely enjoyed everything about figidini from the decor of the plates and the inside to the service to all the food. Each of the plates had a fun design. Everything is cooked in a wood fire oven and a wood fire grill. All the local seafood, quality meats and local poultry is sourced from local farms.

This was a cute spot walking distance from our hotel. There is also a parking garage right above the restaurant which is convenient. It was open later which was nice for a quick bite and a cocktail. Super cute date night spot! The service and quick and informative. I told the waiter I liked sweet cocktails and he consulted with the bartender and helped me pick a tasty drink. The pizzas are smaller but I was satisfied with splitting mine.

We lucked out big time. We didn't have a reservation but they happened to have a last minute cancellation. I liked what our waitress said when I said, "lucky us." She said, "lucky for both of us!" For a small and popular restaurant, she's very right but I appreciate that she acknowledged that it was fortuitous for both of us. From service to the food and ambiance, it was a great experience. We started with the artichoke with pesto sauce, and it was delicious. We each had three personal pizzas but between the three of us, we could have probably shared two. I ordered the traditional Marguerita, my daughter ordered the spicy sausage and the hubby ordered the special pizza or the day which had mortadella, and an herb I can't remember. All were delicious Mine was slightly underdone and a little wet but I think it might've been my fault because I asked our waitress to let the chef know "not too well done. The last time I had wood fired pizza, it was burnt. Not here, but at another place near me. I had to send it back and it was very disappointing. Meanwhile, I should've just let the chef make it the way he always makes it. I think it would not have been so wet and mushy. I didn't send it back because I did feel it was my fault for asking for it "not too well done". Overall, the food was very very good. I love the dough and the texture I would absolutely recommend, and I would definitely come back again. Five stars all the way.

Amazing everything!! The pizza is the most unique and flavor full, the drinks are amazing and the appetizers are so unique, this is a must try spot!!

pizza is like no other!!! best old fashion cocktail ever had! Been here a few times and it's always worth it!

Very nice, very small restaurant downtown. One side is a long bar, the other side has a few tables against the wall. The back is an open kitchen with large pizza oven. We made reservations and although we arrived early and only a few guests were in house, it quickly got busy. Staff seem to be a bartender, a waitress and a cook. From what we witnessed, it seems they have a lot of 'regulars' here. If you are in town for a show or sporting event, be sure to make a reservation. The menu is small: salads, sides, pizza, small plates to share. The quality is very good and reflected in the pricing. We ordered some green olives to start and I must say these olives are excellent. The have small, edible flowers over the top which makes a pretty presentation. Their pizza is served in one piece and you are given pizza shears - scissors - to cut the pie however you like. The outer crust on this pizza is large and pillow-y. The crushed san marzano tomatoes are light, There is just the right amount of cheese on there. The bottom crust is quite thin, and the tomato made it wet through making it difficult to cut and hold to eat. The staff were all very nice, however with all the people they knew in house, we didn't get much attention. No napkin or flat ware were offered and as the staff were busy with other guests I pulled some off a neighboring table that was empty. If you want a side of grated cheese to sprinkle over your pizza that's a 'side' order, so just know that. I very much appreciate the very good quality of the food here. The interior is nicely decorated, clean and not too loud. I like trying new restaurants and love wood fired pizza so I'm glad I tried this spot out. I would come back if invited and try other items on their menu.

All around great experience! The cocktails were very well done. We had the artichokes and chicken thighs to start (not pictured) and the spicy sausage pizza - all very unique. The chicken appetizer may have been the best chicken I've ever had. The pizza was very fresh and so fun that it was served with scissors to cut it. Outdoor seating was limited on the sidewalk, but still nice. Very friendly service.

Stopped in for pizza and it was tasty. The drinks and the service were good. They have a short and concise menu with a relaxed atmosphere. I'm not in a hurry to visit again, but I can appreciate their pizza. Average dining experience.

My pizza was ready in less than 10 minutes. Hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. Perfect for a quick lunch.

Been here many times and I continue to recommend it to all my friends. Cocktails are great, to the point that I would go just for a drink. Pizza is tasty, but if you don't like your slice of pizza flopping over, might not be for you. Grilled appetizers are also really good. I think they occasionally switch these up maybe with some staples that don't change, but so far I've tried the boneless chicken thigh, broccoli rabe, artichokes, brussel sprouts, and confit potatoes. Could do without the potatoes but the rest I would order again!

Such a fun experience! I drove down to RI for a wedding and decided to do some exploring with my family the day before the big day. We wandered around until our stomach's screeched with hunger and I did something that is extremely out of the norm. Without checking Yelp we got ourselves a table a figidini because of what we saw passing by. Customers ordering a large pizza with a pair of large scissors to boot. Yes that's how they serve their pizza! Not only did we get food here, but a small fun experience. figidini is 10/10 - food - delicious, ordered two pizza's one plain Margherita and a Margherita with Mushrooms both were crowd pleasers. I loved the big fluffy crusts on these pizza's. - very friendly staff

OMG don't skip this just because it's downtown or near the hotel. It was one of the best meals we had! Perfectly cooked wood fired pizza, olives and so much more. And the cocktails were inventive and perfectly made. Thanks to our delightful waitress who made great recommendations!

First of all, we've been coming here for four years and it's awesome. From the food (the artichoke app slays!) to the service with bartenders like Mike, you're guaranteed a great night. Also the cocktails are divine, especially the Magellan. Plus, if you're looking for recs for where else to go, the crew here is super helpful. We just love how local bizs support one another. Very refreshing!

We stopped here for some different type of style food. The boneless Chicken grill and the fig salad was delicious. Nice bright spot on the little on the pricey side, but it is great food with some healthy loving touch to it. We ordered a Pepperoni Pizza with almost everything on it. Great drinks and nice people working here. Good food, we will be back.

Hubby and I stop by for apps and drinks whenever we are in town to watch our kid play football. He attends Brown University. Service is outstanding. Feels like coming home to home cooked meal but with low key sophistication. Ambiance warm and friendly.

Excellent food and service. Italian cuisine with an artisan twist. Everything is cooked over a wood fire. The appetizers were unique and delicious. The pizza was unlike any pizza I have had but the flavors were outstanding.

Amazing food and service if you go there make sure to try there margarita pizza it's delicious

3 stars is for specifically rating the pizza- Pizza is fine but way way wayyyyy overpriced, so is everything on the menu. Sat at the bar, service was fine too, nbd. But I'm easily never going back.

We were staying in Providence for one night, near the downtown area and Brown. I was craving pizza and found figidini on yelp. We came there at 5 for dinner on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. We were brought waters and copies of the menu right away. Staff were in masks, and asked about whether we were feeling well before we sat down. At the time we ate there, they had reduced capacity for indoor dining, and only two tables for outdoor dining. We ordered the burrata pizza, and the tartufo calzone. I thought the burrata pizza was amazing, as good or even better than some NYC pizza places. The dough was perfectly cooked and browned in all the right places, and the burrata went really well with it. The tartufo calzone had truffles and mushrooms inside, along with pecorino cheese. It sounded decadent and delicious at the time of ordering, and it was great as well, but the amount of toppings made it a bit heavy to eat, and a lot of the interior fell out as we were eating it. It wasn't bad, but I would go with their regular, more simple calzone next time. Service was really friendly, and we were spaced out a good distance from the other table. Would highly recommend this place for pizza if you're in Providence.

This is a great little spot in Providence, especially when the weather is nice and the front is open to the street. The cocktails are on point and the pizza is fresh and divine. Definitely recommend.

This pizza is extraordinary and has won an award in my book. The flavor of the pizza is an unique experience and is mainly due to its soft and elastic texture. This place perfected the charred taste without being burnt or brittle. Because the dough is so light the type of pizza that you order will determine how you eat it. In my experience, I ate the Marinara with my hands and Margarita di Bufala with a knife and fork. The Margarita di Bufala was messy but tasted delicious. I recommend ordering from the Wood Fire Grill section on the menu, especially if you enjoy seafood. The Baby Octopus dish was remarkable. The one negative remark on my experience is the unpredictable food service. The restaurant is extremely small and only has one oven! My first pizza was delivered before the appetizer and a couple sitting next to us got their pizza a half hour after we got our pizza even though they were seated before us.

Food is very expensive for the very small portions. We've had 3 starters and 2 drinks and we paid $100 for those. We haven't tried their pizza. Maybe they're delicious. But the portions here are very small. Eat before you come here if you want to get full.

Great atmosphere and friendly people. Quick service, good drink selection and fantastic pizza. The dough is some of the best I have had! The Brussel sprouts wood fired with pickled onions are awesome

Cute place right near a hotel I was staying at in Providence, it's small in side but doesn't feel cramped. The staff were knowledgeable and went above an beyond to answer questions about the restaurant and other things in the area. We ended up just grabbing drinks at the bar because we had different plans for dinner. I had the sangria which was the perfect balance, not to sweet as some places tend to make. We did see the food coming out around us that looked and smelled so good. We will definitely return and next time grab a bite to eat as well.

I do not write reviews often but let me tell you this place hit every mark with an exclamation so I wanted to share. We had spent the last few nights in Newport and ate at the very best restaurants in town and after we left here we unanimously said this was better than all of them! We walked in without reservations and soon realized we were very fortunate to get a table because it became very busy soon after. We ordered the corn on the cob special which chef paired beautifully with unique ingredients making it magical! We also ordered an arugula salad with a warm goat cheese cooked on focaccia placed perfectly atop the salad with the exact amount of balsamic dressing to make it shine without overdressing . Our waitress suggested the chicken thighs & were absolutely perfect! Crispy on the outside and tender, juicy and with spices that I'm sure could not be replicated! Order this!! We also ordered a margarita pizza & a burrata pizza both perfect! My husband usually only likes thin crust crispy pizza but this style was a fluffy, light and crust with a lot of movement and cooked to perfection and extraordinary! We live in California and eat farm to table as often as possible (which is a lot), and what I can say is that the quality of ingredients the chef is using is well worth the higher price. Whether you live nearby or passing through don't miss the opportunity to find a restaurant & chef willing to create a masterpiece! I promise you won't be disappointed, I only wish I lived closer to make this a regular place I could frequent!! Enjoy!! Staff as also really great and our waitress really knew the menu well and had great suggestions! Thanks again Figidini!! Bravo!

I came here with a friend in pursuit of a quick meal before we headed back on the road. We found this little restaurant tucked in between shops on Washington Street. We were given menus and seated immediately. Our waiter took the time to go over menu options and the dessert options, which we appreciated greatly. We both settled on the Magherita pizza which came straight from the oven. Let me tell you guys, this pizza was the answer to my prayers. You could taste the high quality with every bite. The crust was the perfect balance between crunchy and soft. This was hands down some of the best pizza I've tasted in a long time. Our lunch experience was going so well that we decided to stay for the dessert special, which was the deconstructed honey crisp. I applaud the chef for the innovative idea, but unfortunately the flavors and textures did not meld together as expected. The apple didn't wasn't all that sweet and the other parts of the honeycrisp tasted a little hard and stale. Nevertheless the service, atmosphere, and pizza were all great and I'll definitely be back!

Average food, small portions, expensive, dull pizza scissors. Two stars for service and speed. Pass over this one.

Popped in here last week and sat at the bar for a bite. It was our first time here, though I'd been hearing great things about Figidini for a while. The first things that struck me about the menu were the prices. Pricey. At first, I wondered if the midsection of the menu were entrees, but the bartender pointed out they're "small plates." I didn't feel like pizza so we ordered 2 small plates. Bone marrow - My husband raved, "Innovative and delicious." I didn't try it, but it looked beautiful. Sirloin tip - I raved, "So good, I'm not sharing." I felt it was a decent portion and I every bite was amazing. So, then, was it worth the steep price? Yes and no. Although the food was amazing, there's a disconnect when you take in the service (just "okay," most seemed preoccupied on a slowish night), and the overall setting. (The environment feels a little too flat & casual - the dim lights suggest a date spot, but the noise level, the open kitchen, and the cold breeze when the door opens, prevent it from being truly cozy, which is what I "think" Fig's is going for). Still, yummy.

Best Neopolitan pizza I've ever had! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting providence!

I was in Providence for a conference and found this place close to my hotel. I love it! The only reason I won't give it five stars is because it was my first visit. I had a craft cocktail- the Pride of Providence- that was earthy and amazing! You know a place is fancy when you can't pronounce half the ingredients. I had the Arugula pizza, which had prosciutto- Sold! Delicious! My friend had their Margherita pizza which was also very good. My other friend had the risotto which she said was freaking amazing. It is a small restaurant but the ambiance and food are great. If I'm ever back in Providence will be back to eat. Staff was amazing and took extra time to explain everything. I loved this whole experience!

Great service, nice decor, nice drinks selection. We only had appetizers and they were OK, not great. Eggplant special was so so, as the eggplant was undercooked. My biggest gripe was with the music. Too loud to hold a conversation across the table and inappropriate for a restaurant.

Terrible experience Needed a spoon to eat the sopping mess they call pizza Ordered four different types...all super soggy in the middle Arrived at 645 got the pizza at 830! Way expensive too! Never going back

Figidini is a hidden gem in providence The food drinks and staff are outstanding!!! Their pizzas are the best I have ever had, A very unique crust Light and airy Their grilled specials are always delicious They have a great menu I have had everything on it and have not been disappointed once Their drink specials are creative and delicious You can tell Kevin puts a lot of love into every drink he makes!!!!! If you have not experienced Figidini you are really missing out on an amazing gastro experience!!!!

Some of the best pizza I've had. It was super light and airy with a really thin crust. It was also just crispy enough. They are personal pizzas but can easily be split between two people especially with all of the yummy and filling ingredients on top. The Burrata pizza was amazing. It had an Italian meat, basil, Olive oil, tomatoes, and a big ball of Burrata cheese in the center. The cheese just melts in your mouth, so tasty. You even get to cut the pizza yourself with these fancy scissors. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday night. We went a little after dinner time around 8pm and sat outside. The bar area is really pretty too with hanging lights. They had all the windows and doors open so we could see through the restaurant from outside. Had a really nice experience overall!

If you're looking for some of the best 'fancy' pizza in Providence, you have to try Figidini. Stopped by this weekend for dinner, and from drinks to apps to pizza to service, we were not disappointed! Because we visited during COVID era we opted to make reservations just to be sure. We were able to grab an indoor table even though we waited until the day of to call. The tables are properly spaced and everyone was wearing masks. Our server seemed to be taking care of the entire restaurant, but still managed to be amazingly attentive. We started with drinks - they boast a unique and fun cocktail menu. I had the Negronia and my boyfriend the Pride of Providence - both delicious and ample in size and alcohol. For food - *we noticed that the online take-out menu includes the specials so it's longer than the sit down menu. Be sure to check it out, in case you miss any of the specials!* We started with the prosciutto wrapped figs and grilled artichokes. Both wonderfully cooked, without too many added flavors/sauces/seasonings to let the pure flavors come through. The portions were large enough to split with one other person (we got 4 figs and 4 artichokes). Finally, we ordered the 'Nduja pizza and it was amazing. The wood fired crust is everything you want it to be - evenly baked, not too crispy or burnt on any edges, with a fluffy crust that surrounds with pizza without being too overwhelming or overly starchy. The toppings were delicious - again, they adorn the pizza with a few simple but powerful ingredients to let each individual flavor shine through without relying on extra sauces or seasonings. Ultimately, its a fantastic pizza experience. The only downside is the size of the pizza for the price - certainly a hungry patron could eat a whole pizza themselves. That being said, if you're looking to treat yourself with a unique and upscale dining experience downtown, definitely put Figidini on the list, and keep an eye out for any date night specials they may have.

A friend recommended Figidini to us to try on a trip to Providence. Truly it was one of the best pizzas we had ever eaten! The thin crust is amazingly light and actually fluffy- the waitress said that it is made without oil and of course made in a wood-fired grill. It doesn't weigh you down or sit in your stomach like some pizzas. This is a departure for me since I usually prefer a deep dish crust! They even bring you a special pair of scissors to cut the pizza which works fantastically. I got the special that evening which was delicious, but isn't on the normal menu - basil, pancetta, cheese and topped with an egg!! As good as that was the most delectable thing we had was the artichoke dish - Wow! It was grilled and brushed with a basil lemonette which set off the flavors perfectly. I almost ordered another one. You MUST order this! For dessert there was a bread pudding, also grilled, with coconut which I am a huge fan of. I will definitely go back there when we get the chance.

One of my local go tos for pizza and calzones! the calzones r super yum! I had the sausage and pepper and the leek and romesco both r sublime, the crust is crispy and has a very nice flavor from the wood oven! the cocktails r excellent as well. one of my favorites overall!!

OMG best pizza I've had in my entire life and I've consumed and made a ton of pizza. Their pizza is completely incredible. It was an out of body experience. The crust is crisp on the outside yet beautifully chewy on the inside. Incredible toppings too.

I can't say enough good things about this place. I went on their website to make reservations, which informs you to call after 4pm to snag your spot. The woman on the phone was very friendly and funny. Once we arrived the waitress who greeted us was very friendly and sat us right away. We ordered the meatball pizza special and it was the BEST wood fired pizza I have ever had. It's a smaller space but they make the most out of it. Great ambiance.

Really enjoyed the pizza and drinks here. Especially nice to have outdoor seating and a friendly wait staff.

We don't have enough amazing things to say about this place! For starters, it is locally owned, and the husband and wife are fantastic! Every single time we go in, the food is out of this world delicious. They make their own dough fresh, multiple times a week. They use local ingredients and make their own pizza sauce. If you are looking for Domino's, this is probably not your place, but if you are looking for some of the best Neapolitan style authentic pizza, this is going to be your jam. They also have fabulous bartenders who know their stuff, and a scrumptious drink selection. Long story short, every single time we go to this place we are impressed and delighted!

Ate here because of fellow Yelp reviews last night before attending a show at PPAC. Small place with nice decor. Our waitress was very good. We shared a salad and a pizza. Both delicious! The pizza brought back memories of our days living in Italy. Yes, it was "that good". They also give you this cool scissor tool to cut your pie slices with. Works great. We will return.

Came here on a Wednesday night and had a great experience accompanied by AMAZING food. My friend and I sat outside and the vibe of this place was great. It's casual and the staff are super friendly. We ordered two starters, the lamb and the corn. The lamb was a bit rough and overcooked, but the yogurt sauce it comes with is addicting. The corn was highly recommended to us by our waitress and I would say that her recommendation was definitely a good one. I didn't like how the corn was cut into halves because it's really awkward to eat (and also pretty messy) but otherwise the flavoring and portion size is quite decent. The pizza truly WOWed me and I will definitely go back for more. We ordered their current pizza special, which is essentially a margarita pizza with a honey and a bit of spice (I can't remember the name of it). Honestly it was SO GOOD. The crust is thin but still had a great breaded consistency and while the pizza is considered a personal pizza size, it's definitely quite large. If you order some starters, one pizza will definitely be enough to share between two people. The pizza is also very liquidy and the toppings slide right off so it is a bit of a mess to eat. However, the pizza is so delicious that you will get over this quickly. If for nothing else, come here for the pizza because it is amazing!!

I could be on an overly generous star-giving streak, but I had a great first experience at Figidini's. I am currently on a Greece high (it's a problem--if you ever go there, beware of the Siren song!), so I was excited to see they offered a Greek red wine. As it turns out, St. George's wine is EFFING FANTASTIC, so I was already happy from the moment I had wine in my hand. As an appetizer, we got something with figs (obviously: Greece) and two pizzas, one of which was the special (with pesto) and the other of which was a white version of the margherita. The staff was very diligent about offering recommendations and describing how the pizzas worked: they weren't cut into slices (as true Italian pizzas are not), and they were within the realm of being consumed by one person (as true Italian pizzas are). End story: I finished my whole pizza; my date did not. When ladies are showing up their dates, we have problems--not with the pizzas, but with the dates. COME ON, DUDES. The pizza crust was divine. I think five stars goes for that alone--well, and the wine. But the overall experience was positive and I would return again!

I keep it short and sweet: -Great atmosphere -Super knowledgeable and accommodating staff - Excellent drinks from an exquisite bar list -The barley salad was crazy good The only negative about the night was that I felt that the food was under-seasoned, something many restaurants in Providence surprisingly are guilty of. The food was good, but I felt for almost every dish it could have been so much better with just a little added salt or even Olive Oil. Textures and presentation were awesome, but it just needed that little extra touch to make it truly amazing.
