Very simple place but real Italian food!

Where to start...let's say from the name. For whom it is not Italian or familiar with Italian Language the name is where to start La Figa. This is a terms that indicate women genital part very much used in the 80's. This restaurant recall a lot of that period including the Bar Area very similar to the one that you would seen in a Disco back in the 80's in Rome. Their food it is really good and their product authentic, nothing to say. I had a lovely Whitebait as startee and they were very well done, crispy with a light bread crumb batter. We follow are meal with a Pizza, really good one, thin and crisp with a very great toppings. This is the results of a good experience on managing flour and hoven (Electric). Bravo chef. We finished our meal with a Creme Caramel, once again a classic of the 80's. The lady that look after us was really nice and with a great experience and made our meal really enjoyable, thank you for your kindness and professionalism. Overall a place to go if you want to have great food and service, to the owner I would only suggest maybe is time to refresh and move on from the 80' (We are on our 55 so we lived and loved that time but we adapted as well to the new era). By the way as we were used to say back in our time alway "Viva La Figa ...Restaurant"

Not being veggie I was dragged along with a couple of friends who are. I thought the food was rather good and did't miss my meat at all. I agree with some of the other reviews that a couple of the dished could have had a few more herbs thrown in, but they still tasted nice.
