FIGO Leyton is a spacious Italian restaurant at 264–268 High Road Leyton, with an open kitchen, a wood fired oven and a lively cocktail bar. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a contemporary setting, bringing familiar recipes from several Italian regions together with seasonal ingredients and a relaxed approach to sharing food.
Starters include truffle and taleggio arancini, fried calamari, aubergine parmigiana and mussels cooked with tomato, garlic, chilli and white wine. King prawns in spicy tomato sauce, beef carpaccio, burrata with tomatoes and pistachio, and a mixed Italian antipasto give a table plenty of contrasting ways to begin.
Pasta and risotto range from orecchiette with sausage and broccoli to pappardelle with wild boar ragù and paccheri with squid, prawns and mussels. Spaghetti mixed through a wheel of pecorino brings cheese and black pepper to the foreground, while porcini mushroom risotto and vegetable filled pasta provide rich choices without meat.
The pizza selection covers Margherita, Bufalina, Capricciosa, spicy nduja and the house FIGO combination with Parma ham, rocket and Parmesan. Grilled sea bass, salmon, lamb cutlets, beef fillet and chicken Milanese broaden the main courses, with salads, vegetables and potatoes available to complete a substantial Italian meal.
