Figo Wine Bar: A Hidden Gem in Lakeview for Wine Lovers and Foodies

Figo Wine Bar is a hidden gem in Lakeview that never disappoints. I recently visited with a friend and we shared a selection of tapas: the truffle arancini, pork belly, and gnocchi. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We paired our meal with a bottle of Italian red wine, which complemented the dishes perfectly. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff was knowledgeable about the wine list. We spent around $100, which felt like a steal for the quality and experience. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a great meal, Figo Wine Bar is a must-visit.​

Nice place for drinks and small plates. My wife and I went on a Thursday night at 6:00 PM and there were a lot of empty tables so we had great service. We got wine, cocktails and 2 plates each. Was just the right amount. Has a bar area with lots of seating, high top seats by the window, and tables in the main area. Can get meat, vegetarian, fish - or even octopus!

Such a cute place to grab a drink! I came here with a few friends and we had such a cute time grabbing some drinks and enjoying the fun ambiance! Service was a bit slow but they were pretty busy so we didn’t mind too much and they were super helpful with choosing drinks!

Oysters were delicious & well shucked. The dates with speck were excellent, as was the artichoke bruschetta. We enjoyed an orange wine from Austria that was very lovely. The food & drinks came out quickly & ambiance was quiet & classy. Highly recommend.

Let me start by saying that the vibes at here are everything! Couple that with their extensive wine selection and you have the recipe for a delightful visit. Perfect for a date night or girls night out, this spot has a good selection of pastas, Italian tapas and entrees. They have wine flights/flights on Tuesday and Wednesday (4 wines) and their happy hour includes great deals like $10 cocktails and $25 charcuterie boards. Here's what I tried: Rhône blend Port - Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Whiskey Sour Shrimp & clams Bistro fries Bruschetta Gnocchi It was my first time trying the Rhône blend - a red, robust wine that is easily now one of my favorites! The Italian style tapas give you the chance to try a few different things, which I love and the entrees are huge - perfect for sharing. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit to the Lakeview area and when you go, tell em Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

Cute neighborhood wine bar with good Italian tapas that gets loud on the weekends. We went on a Friday night - reservations were available online and looked very available. Make reservations! Although the place was completely packed our table was available a little early. Food was good with the arancini the highlight. Pear salad made a nice counterpoint to our other heavy dishes. Nice options with the select your own meat / cheese plate and the mix & match oysters. Duck breast was good, skin / fat could have been more crispy / rendered. Service was engaging and courteous - coverage felt slightly stretched at times with the full house. Atmosphere - very cute spot but the tables are close together and when packed the noise level is quite high. Would recommend for a weeknight if you are in that neighborhood: pre-show bites or group outing with reservations.

A cozy wood-accented Italian wine bar in Lakeview. The small plates were mostly enjoyable though with a few misses. The octopus was a standout with a tender texture and great char, while the roasted beets and pear salad were fresh and well-balanced. The shrimp and clams were overly salty, and the tortellini felt overcooked and heavy. Overall, a comforting neighborhood spot for a relaxed dinner, though a bit uneven in execution.

Rolled into Figo Wine Bar and spent around $55. Went with a bottle of that Sonoma Chardonnay, sampled the tortellini pasta, and a meat & cheese board. The pasta was creamy and fresh, and the board paired perfectly with the wine. Cozy vibe, super helpful staff, and definitely upscale-but‑not‑stuffy. Ideal spot for a chill date or catch‑up. Will be back for sure.
