Italian comfort food two ways: slices & calzones from the counter on the right side of the house; traditional red-sauce entrees with table service on the left side of the house. Full bar service both sides with good draft beer! Absolutely nothing gourmet about the food at Cafe Figaro, but very friendly people and quick service, even outdoor tables, definitely A-OK.
Offers 4 taps, pints $5.50 each: Coors light, Yuengling, Stella Artois and Spaten. Now I don't mind paying that for a glass of fine German beer, but it's outrageous for the old silver bullet :) Light on selection but reasonable prices at the bar: cocktails $9, martinis $11, wines by the glass $7.
We walked in to the casual side, spotted slices at the counter, ordered there, they brought the food out when it was hot which took almost zero time. I got a spinach, ricotta and mozarella calzone, obviously previously baked and reheated, came with a little side of house red sauce, a decent lunch for $7. Garlic knots were a bit tough altho exceptionally garlicy in a good way.
Vegetarian rating: 3 stars for the respectable selection. Obviously you can choose your own pizza toppings but also there are traditional veg entrees like eggplant parmigiana, baked manicotti and ziti Siciliano; also salads.
Saw a yelper complaining about prices not matching the menu. Definitely noticed that the prices on the big board behind the counter didn't always match the printed paper menu, like cheese fries $3 vs. $4.50, so your mileage may vary here.
Really this is two places in one, so interpreting those Yelpy "good for.." tips is tricky lol. Left side carpeted and quiet; right side tiled and noisy. Left side romantic, good for groups and adults; right side bare bones formica, good for kid pizza parties. And so on. read more
