Pretty cool place-- it has Uptown prices, but the food is worth it, if you're vegetarian. Happy hours are an excellent value.
Good pizzas and flat-breads... I was pleasantly surprised by the food, and that it had a lively atmosphere, especially for being inside a mall. A word of warning that, with such liveliness and happy hours, it can get noisy inside... but no one seemed to mind.
There are rarely any vegan options, so I don't eat here much at all. But the happy hour is fabulous. Sunday, all day $2 happy hour!
I usually do the happy hour here and then dine at Chiang Mai Thai or somewhere else with more vegan fare.
I've always felt that Figlio is rather ho hum. But it's open late. Still, if I were stuck at the corner of Chicago and Lake at 11pm hungry I'd choose Chino Latino or Chaing Mai Thai first.
Not many vegetarian options. The obligatory one pizza offering with no meat. I ordered the morel mushroom pizza and it had no flavor at all--and no sauce. It was one of the worst pizzas I've had--a personal size for 13.95. I've had better luck with the pasta in the past--but my dining partner ordered one with a pesto sauce which he said had very little flavor. I don't plan to go back any time soon.
