La Figa Restaurant in Tower Hamlets

Big restaurant with good food, not extremely great. Very nice service though

Salmon pasta was definitely one of the best I ever tried. Great service , very comfy and quiet place. Thank you

Come a las 3 pm. Otras cenas. Bonito ambiente relajado. La comida era fantástica. Recomienda la sopa de frijoles y mejillones y el tagliatelle de salchichas picante. Envasar con sabor. El servicio encantador de dos hermosas damas.

Food very tasty! Prices very high! Despite the fact that the restaurant is far outside the center and does not offer any added value through views etc., the prices are very high! We paid £110 for 4 main courses & 6 drinks! Staff great!

Almorzamos recientemente en el restaurante La Figa para celebrar el cumpleaños de un familiar. Al llegar noté que los cubiertos en la mesa no se veían limpios y las servilletas tampoco. Pedí su cangrejo de concha suave con langostinos para empezar, cuando llegó se veía impresionante ya que el plato era enorme. Sin embargo, cuando empecé a comerlo, me di cuenta de que los langostinos no estaban descascarillados, simplemente estaba rebozado y frito con la cáscara aún intacta y el tubo digestivo negro (saco de popó) a lo largo de la parte posterior de los langostinos no se eliminó. Estas gambas no fueron limpiadas en absoluto. Un miembro de la familia pidió vieiras envueltas en panceta, lo probé y estaba demasiado cocido y muy salado. Pedí pez espada con berenjena para la alimentación principal, pero cuando llegó mi pez espada vino sin la berenjena, cubierto de salsa de mantequilla y tenía un olor funky muy fuerte y a podrido. He comido pez espada muchas veces antes y el pez espada fresco o cualquier pescado fresco no huele. Tenía miedo de comer esto ya que olía tan mal, pero comí un trozo pequeño solo para probarlo y me pareció muy salado como beber agua de mar, no quería comer más. Es como si el chef lo rociara con sal para ocultar el olor, pero no se podía ocultar ya que olía tan mal. Más de 3/4 del pescado se quedó sin comer ya que me preocupaba el olor. En su lugar tomé un poco de pasta de arabiata de mi pareja que tenía un sabor amargo a medida que se quemaba el ajo. Luego probé los espaguetis de otro miembro de la familia, que eran sosos y poco inspiradores. No queriendo hacer alboroto por el mal olor del pez espada, pedí llevármelo a casa, sabiendo muy bien que iba directo a la papelera cuando salí del restaurante. Incluso cuando estaba en un contenedor sellado y dentro de la bolsa, el olor era tan fuerte que permeaba a través del contenedor y la bolsa. Unas horas más tarde, comencé a sentir un terrible dolor de estómago y terminé vomitando con proyectiles. Sabía que era el dudoso pez espada, ya que no había comido nada en todo el día aparte del almuerzo en este restaurante. Otro miembro de la familia también estaba enfermo por la comida que tenían, aunque esa persona me pidió algo diferente. Como éramos una gran fiesta, nuestra factura se acercó a £ 800 con más de £ 82 de cargo por servicio. La camarera (señora mayor) nos pidió descaradamente que añadiéramos más propina además del cargo de servicio de £ 82. La comida en el restaurante La Figa es poco inspiradora, horrible y enfermó a algunos de nuestra fiesta. Entonces, cena aquí bajo tu propio riesgo pero no volveremos.

My friends and i discovered la figa by accident and it was the most delicious accident 😋 great food, professional and friendly service. Truly recommend!

No words can be said other than go here. Truly authentic Italian food, at a reasonable price, with amazing service. Genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to.

Ci sono stato a cena con la mia famiglia e la famiglia di mio cognato,quattro adulti e due bambini, abbiamo preso la pizza, bevuto quattro birre e una bottiglia d'acqua, abbiamo speso 100 sterline.tutto molto buono, prezzo molto onesto, personale gentilissimo.lo consiglio.

Best Italian food I've had! Large portions and packed full of flavour. Well worth a visit !

Great dog friendly venue. Food excellent with large portions.

Would visit again. Short walk from the holiday inn. Complimentary sharing pizza to start while we waited for the mains.

Great service, pasta far from al dente but generally tasty

Lovely restaurant with a calming atmosphere and friendly service. Food was good too!

The best family dining experience in London! Kept the children entertained throughout the meal, provided the best customer service we've ever experienced and the quality and authenticity of the food was top notch! Thank you La Figa!

Ristorante con cucina italiana...abbiamo preso bruschette con verdure molto buone sia le verdure che il prosciutto...... tagliata con verdure direi ottima ....buona scelta di vini, pollo alla figa.... non male.... do 4 stelle perché il locale è un po triste... l'apparecchiatura al tavolo minimale, nemmeno una tovaglietta...personale cordiale...

Good place for a nice dinner but nothing extraordinary

Beautiful food, wonderful staff, thank you 💖🙏💖

Absolutely lovely food, when a v large family group sat by us, staff were brilliant and offered to move us away, wonderful evening,thank you so much.

Best pizza and Calzone we have had in a long time. Well worth ordering.

We had dinner here on Saturday August 17. The weather was nice and we were able to sit on the terrace. Helped neatly and quickly and questions were answered clearly, with some humor which gave a more personal feeling. As a starter we had a garlic pizza and bruschetta to share. Main courses were spaghetti, pizza calzone and a pizza with salami. Although we were satisfied, we couldn't resist tiramisu and crème brûlée. Delicious food, and definitely recommended to go to when you are in the area.

¡El mejor pan de ajo que he probado! ¡El pez espada también fue excelente! ¡INCREÍBLE! Muy bien, muy bien, muy bien, muy bien! ¡Espresso Martini estaba golpeando!

Good food and good service. It's very close to the Holiday Inn Express Limestone London.

Dessert very overpriced and not was you expecting.

Visited for my daughter's birthday party. Lovely Italian food and excellent service by both the waitresses.

We used to come here a lot when we lived at Limehouse. Haven't been for 10 or so years, as we now live in Australia, but it was still fantastic. The Bruschetta is amazing. The menu is so vast it's really hard to decide what to order when you know it's all going to be so tasty.

Amazing food! We’ve came to this restaurant 3rd time now and every food that we’ve tried was super good! Steak normally elsewhere if it’s well done is dry, this was so soft and juicy! Staff is very friendly and professional. 5⭐️ place!!!

Probably one of the best Italian places in London. Portions will never leave you hungry, food is more than delicious and the service is great. Been there a couple of times, and will come back many more.

Very friendly and polite staff. The location and environment of the restaurant is good. Food seems authentic. The garlic pizza with tomato🍕 is my favourite for this visit. Will come back and try some other dishes from their menu.

Good sized portions. Relaxed maitre. Fair value. Enjoyed.

Delicious, large pizzas and tasty pasta.

We watched the Euro 2024 final here, with children. It was a lovely atmosphere. Delicious food and very friendly service. Thank you!

Absolutely loved dining at La Figa. Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful! Thank you. We'll be back soon!

As always, fantastic local pizza priced reasonably. The team at La Figa is always very welcoming, especially Angelo and Zehra who have big hearts and make sure you are well looked after. The place has a classic retro feel and a great bar as well.

First time back in many years, food was ok but it really needs a revamp

Good Italian restaurant in Limehouse, 50m from the Thames. Good and excellent food, perhaps something hidden from the path of tourism. Highly recommended, and relatively inexpensive.

The food was great/delicious. Reasonable prices and the waitress was lovely; very attentive and looked after us.

The food is good. The internal appearance of the place is a little deteriorated

The best pasta I have ever had. The staff were lovely and one gentleman kept asking us general knowledge questions which definitely got us thinking. Such a hidden gem, would 100% recommend.

Terrible service and missing item

Great friendly staff. Dog friendly which was a blessing as we had a dog. Food was great and well priced. Would recommend 10/10

I had the most delightful experience at this authentic Italian pizzeria in London. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by our server,, whose genuine Italian hospitality made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cozy and reminiscent of a traditional Italian trattoria. The pizza was absolutely incrediblec, thin crust with the perfect balance of toppings. We tried the Margherita and la reine, both of which were bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh and high-quality, truly capturing the essence of Italian cuisine. I recommend the raviolis too. The service was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and provided great recommendations on both the menu. Her passion for the food and culture added a special touch to our meal. Overall, this pizzeria offers a true taste of Italy in the heart of London. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience!

Unreal! Absolutely horrendous! Never tasted food like it! In my 37 years of living, I can’t express how bad this was! I have never in my life complained if food wasn’t nice or not to my taste and just paid the bill knowing not to return, but I had to express this here. When I did at each course, I was then spoken about amongst the servers 3/4 times overly loud. They didn’t even have the courtesy to hide the fact that they were talking about table 3 and that they don’t like this or that. GOBSMACKED! One server said “ this isn’t LA it’s the UK” I am from east London and I told her as such! We have a home it Italy and we know real Italian food! I’m guessing the reason they aren’t in their home town cooking their Italian food is because they would have been disowned. AVOID AVOID AVOID! Funnily enough they only charged us for wine and gave us free shots!

Delightful meal— served by gregarious older gentleman in a leisurely fashion.

Whenever I'm in the area, La Figa is my go to restaurant. Never had a bad meal here and in fact the quality, flavours and variety are all excellent. Genuine Italian family run, this is a place not to be missed.

Excellent Italian restaurant, you can't go wrong with anything here, highly recommend.

Nice location, good food and good service

Soooo disappointing. The service was good …attentive and friendly. The food was awful. Our starter to share was fried calamari which was tasty but obviously not fresh - frozen/microwave? Our mains were large portions and the salad and veg were fresh and tasty but the lobster was initially the wrong dish as it came with spaghetti which wasn’t the correct order. They replaced it with the correct lobster dish but the lobster was tough and unpleasant and the prawns were drowned in garlic butter. The monkfish dish was overcooked and drowned in a tomato sauce. They offered us a free shot which was nice of them but the quality of the food was not value for money in any way!!!! I certainly wouldn’t return.

This is a lovely place. I'm so pleased we found it. We'd had a really nice walk along the Thames and fancied stopping for something and this wonderful establishment appeared. It's worth seeking out, pizzas were absolutely authentic of an Italian restaurant. Staff very kind, beer very cold.

My favourite local spot for pizza! Pizza comes in a large size but never disappoints. Tiramisu is also great - almost like a little trip to Italy

We came here for a late dinner after a long day of being typical London tourists and what a wonderful way to cap off our day. My wife got the pasta bolognese. It was expertly cooked with rich, savory flavors, easily the best bolognese we’ve encountered in our travels. I ordered the gnocchi alla sorentina and I was not disappointed. It was perfectly cooked and well worth savoring. For dessert, we got the tiramisu because of course we did. It was perfect. The service was excellent. As touring Americans we are largely clueless about how things work; the staff were gracious and kind without being obsequious. We were not rushed in any way during our dining experience; the staff clearly wanted us to savor and enjoy the food. I would 100% recommend this restaurant, and if we were ever to find ourselves in the vicinity again, I would definitely go back. If you want a delicious Italian meal in the Limehouse area, look no further.

Amazing lasagna, we were a party of 8 and all of us were happy with our food. The beer glasses are chilled which is great and they don’t save on the parmesan cheese which is also great.

Large pizzas and calzons, the food was amazing.

Great service and good food. They easily coped with eight of us and we’re not a quiet bunch!

Rich in Italian culture and food, the staff are as italian as you can be. The ambience was lovely, it's suitable for group or couples' dine out.

Nice staff, very polite and amazing food

The calzone is particularly good.

Very tasty, rich and great staff. Highly recommended!!!!!

Last visited La Figa in December 2019 and gave it a five star review. Unfortunately I did not find it as good this time. The ravioli was very bland with no flavour at all. The wine list is small and very expensive for what it is. The service was good. It has the elements of a good neighbourhood restaurant but only if the prices are bit lower.

How on Earth these people were allowed a name like that I will never know….🤮

We have been to this restaurant a few times over the last 15 years as our friends lived nearby. Now our daughter lives in Limehouse, so for her birthday dinner, she booked this restaurant. We were booked early - 7pm & arrived on time. We asked for a table near the window which initially seemed an issue as they had only opened some tables. However we insisted & we were sat at a window table - what restaurant doesn’t want a window front with diners, subliminally encouraging others in as it looks popular? The service was quick & drinks arrived quickly. Our daughter enjoyed a strawberry daiquiri & the house white was good. For starter we chose to share a bruschetta with tomatoes & Parma ham- enough for 3. We were all happy with our mains. I chose the seafood linguine and there was an abundance of seafood & the portion was generous. Would we come here again - yes we would.

Great service all round, friendly staff and very helpful.

Absolute day light robbery a Latte and a lemonade to take away £16.70

An absolutely incredible Italian restaurant. A huge selection of amazing food, great service and a nice vibe. It’s a bit of a secret. The decor is quite “modern Italian” but don’t let that put you off, this is one of the best restaurants in London. I have been here multiple times and each time tried something else that is fantastic. The courgette soup, sadly not often on the menu, is truly sensational.

Chanced our arm in here the night before the London Marathon. They were fully booked but said we could eat at the bar. Ordered a Margherita pizza. It was absolutely lovely. Friendly staff, amazing pizza and very well priced. Definitely going back next time I am down this way

Excellent food. Best profiteroles!

Have been coming here for 20 + years and the food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing. Without doubt honestly the best restaurant in the area. Also be warned that the portion sizes are on the large size..... highly highly recommend

Perfect Friday evening with my Husband we grabbed a pizza and a pasta for dinner it was delicious! Lovely and friendly Staff! Dog friendly which is fantastic as we’re always looking for great chilled eats with our pup! Great portion size and lovely atmosphere. Thank you

La Figa is our favourite Italian restaurant in this area. The food is great no matter what you like. Pasta, Pizza, seafood everything is delicious. Service is always brilliant. The fact that you always see the same staff there gives you the impression that people like to work there. And the fact that we always come back tells you that they must do things right.

Very scrumptious meal with wonderful presentation

Food ok, service with Italian flair, atmosphere good.

Really nice food at a reasonable price, and generous portions. The staff were friendly and helpful, offered us to sample the wine before choosing what we wanted.

Fantastic food in a superbly located restaurant! A shame I took the photo after cutting into my Calzone, as the photo doesn't do it justice...but one of the best Calzone's I've ever had!!! Willd definitely return when I'm in the area again! Very reasonably priced too.

Very friendly restaurant. We went there during the week at the end of the evening and it was quiet. The dishes are good, the service is fast, the staff is very friendly. I recommend 🙂

Pizza and pasta were excellent.

Always a fun place to go…staff top draw

The food was very tasty and the staff was really friendly. The atmosphere was also very cozy and overall it was a great experience. We've eaten here twice because it's so good.

I consider myself to be a bit of a Calzone connoisseur, but I was absolutely blown away by the biggest and best Calzone I've ever had tonight! My work colleague also had a superb pizza which he also enjoyed. Fantastic food, in a great location, with fantastic service! Congratulations La Figa, I will be back!

Really nice food although the veg with the lamb was dry from an heat lamp. the waiters were amazing, very kind and cheerful that atmosphere was just missing some quiet music

I’ve been a regular at La Figa for the last 11 years and it’s one of my favourite local restaurants. Tasty food, generous portions and lots of happy memories.

Mario is amazing and loved the foods

Lovely place. Difficult to find, but if you find it, it's really worth of. Delicious food, and good wines. Best restaurant nearby.

We have eaten pizza and pasta meals here this week and both were excellent

Love this place, great food always, great wine, lovely atmosphere. A gem to have as a local restaurant.

Loved this place. Bit pricey but the portion size worth it! Very tasty and fresh too!

I went here once for lunch and once I ordered a takeaway. Being there in person, the food was much better. I had pasta, cake, coffee.. all perfect, quick and friendly service! The restaurant was empty during Friday lunchtime though so I would expect service to be quick! All in all perfect! Takeaway could be better and warmer!

Really nice and tasty Italian food. Prices are a bit high but quality and portions are ok. The staff is amazing. Probably one of the best places in the area.

After an unplanned 3.5 hrs in a car & no end in sight to our journey, a pit stop was urgently required.. thankfully we found La Figa & had the best Italian food ever! We would go out of our way to come here again..

Food was fantastic and arrived quickly. Service good though was hard to catch waiter's eye on a busy Saturday evening.

Always a winner. Go hungry as the portions are significant. Pizzas are superb! Quality is consistently good, service is friendly, yet professional. Keep up the great work La Figa.

Delicious Italian food, funny name and friendly staff :)

I came here with my family who are visiting from London. We were greeted by very friendly staff. The food was ready very quickly, even though the restaurant was quite busy and was very tasty. Also very reasonable price wise. Milana (I hope this is how I spell her name) was absolutely fantastic and we had great laughs with her. Would highly recommend the gnocchi!! Overall an amazing evening, would highly recommend.

La Figa never fails! We came for late lunch (open all day) and were served two tasty and enormous pizzas. Our waiter, Melina was so cool and had just the right amount of attention to us. Best Limehouse-local restaurant for sure - we will come back again and again and again…. 🙏🏽

Saturday lunchtime birthday celebration for my son with his wife and 2 young daughters. The staff are lovely, welcoming and helpful, suggesting different dishes to those on the menu and so accommodating. They are genuinely pleased to have little ones in their restaurant. The food was delicious, we shared a selection of starters the whitebait was gorgeous, the bruschetta lovely and fresh but the prawns were not quite what I expected, nice enough but not wow. Our main courses were wonderful. The shellfish linguine one with tomato and one with a garlic sauce were delicious the pizzas were brilliant and the tuna steak with its sauce super. Lovely Chianti and super coffees and ice cream. We couldn’t have asked for more, highly recommended.

Do you know what figa means????

Honestly the perfect local restaurant. Great food, lovely friendly service and a good atmosphere whether quiet or busy. Will be back a lot, I hope.

Booked for New Year’s Eve and what a disappointed. Food terrible and very poor quality for the money. Only 13 people in the whole restaurant. Even when we complained we was not offered any explanation or apology. After visiting this restaurant since it has opened I would never return.

The food is disgusting so overcooked and the sausage is very poor quality. The starter is extremely salty and the pasta is bland but super garlicky. It’s going to the bin honestly. So disappointing yet again. I gave the benefit of the doubt after the first experience but it’s just bad always it seems. Such a pity

We came in for lunch around New year and was really good fresh food! The scallop linguine was particularly good and amazing thin crust pizzas. Feels very authentic and good quality. Staff were very friendly.

Had a great lunch at La Figa, lovely people and food House wine was very good. Restaurant has a real vibe and works as a wine/cocktail bar. A fun & good value lunch.

Really lovely food and great service, especially attentive to our small children. Highly recommend and will be back!
