Figata

Figata is a modern Italian bistro at Malaya Morskaya Ulitsa, 18, in St Petersburg. The restaurant takes a contemporary approach to Italian cooking while drawing on regional traditions beyond the country’s most familiar tourist routes. Its character is shaped by a relaxed Dolce Vita mood and a menu designed around the variety of Italian cuisine.

House pasta is prepared in front of guests, making the cooking process part of the experience rather than something kept entirely behind the scenes. This focus gives Figata a clear handmade element and suits diners looking for an Italian meal with an open, current style. The restaurant’s food is presented as a journey through less-travelled parts of Italy, rather than a narrow focus on one city or region.

The setting works for casual meals, shared occasions and everyday Italian dining. The overall tone is informal and modern, with the bistro format keeping the focus on food, pasta and the social side of a meal. A dedicated wine list adds an option for pairing drinks with the menu, while the children’s menu makes the restaurant relevant for family visits as well as meals among adults.

Figata also serves breakfast at weekends from midday until 16:00. This later breakfast schedule suits a leisurely start to the day rather than an early morning stop. From Sunday to Thursday, the restaurant is open from 12:00 to 23:00. On Fridays and Saturdays, service continues until midnight, giving the end of the week a slightly longer dining window.

The restaurant’s location on Malaya Morskaya Ulitsa places it within an established central street setting, with the address providing a straightforward reference for arrivals. Figata is a suitable choice for diners seeking modern Italian cooking, freshly made pasta and a relaxed setting that combines regional inspiration with contemporary bistro style.
