We reviewed this place back in June, based on multiple visits.  So, this is not a review.  But, our parents didn't take pictures before and we went there for dinner again tonight.  We got the BBQ Chicken Pizza.  It was AWESOME!

Paul:  We just went to our school’s open house and met our new teachers.  To celebrate, because we were happy that we got great teachers, we decided to eat out.  We went to to Figo’s, which Sam and I had not been to before - but mom and dad had.

For our appetizer, we got the Figo Bruschetta.  It was very flavorful.  The tomatoes were super fresh and their were a lot of them.  It was loaded!  

For my meal, I had the Lasagna di Figo - adult size.  There were two sizes:  kids and adults.  It was very good.  The tomato sauce was great.  The lasagna was perfectly cooked.  I had leftovers.

Mom and I had the Peanut Butter Pie for dessert.  It had a crust made from Oreos, peanut butter filling and chocolate “ganache”.  It also had raspberry sauce all over the plate.  It was very good.  It wasn't that big....but that was good because we were stuffed to the rafters!  (See the picture of my brother all tired and full.)

You order at the counter and you get a huge salt and pepper shaker with salt and pepper in it - but it’s also decorated so they know where to bring your food.  The service was very good.  The food came quick.

I  recommend Figo Pasta.  The only thing is that it’s small and they don’t have the most comfortable chairs and tables.  The decor was not too special. 

Sam:  I got the Fusilli Pasta with Cheese Sauce.  I really liked the cheese sauce.  For desert, I go the Tiramisu.  I liked that, too!

Paul:  Our waitress was very nice.  But, the service was slow, even though it was not crowded.  I don’t think it was her fault, though.  We could see into the kitchen and it looked like the cooks were playing around.  

The decor is really colorful.  It is decorated to make you feel like you are outside.  It was a little dirty, though.

We did not have the best time with the food.  For the appetizer, we got chips, salsa, and queso.  The chips were HUMONGOUS!  They made the chips fresh and you could see them making the chips behind the bar.  The queso was kind of spicy.  It was OK.  The salsa was great!  And the chips were very tasty.

I ordered the fish tacos (grilled, not fried).  They came with two sides.  I got the mashed potatoes and black beans.  For some reason, the mashed potatoes were really spicy.  I did not even go near trying the beans because they didn’t look so good.  The fish tacos were probably 50/50.  They were the best part of the meal, but...I mean....for some reason they tasted a little like grass.  Although, the actual fish in the tacos was good.   

I think they probably could use some remodeling and cleaning.  And maybe they could have a talk with the staff (especially the cooks) to see if anything they could change.

Overall, there are better Mexican places to eat in the area, like Los Bravos on South Cobb Drive in Smyrna.  And if you want just any kind of food in the area, there is a Shane’s Rib Shack right down the road from this place (right next to a  Moe’s).

Sam:  We almost sat near the TVs, but we didn’t.  I really liked the rice.  It looked like it had much spice, but it did not.   I really liked the Quesadilla, too.  The cooks were  too slow and most of the people were taking a break and that’s why it was so slow. The servers were trying to hurry up, but the cooks were not.  (I saw inside the kitchen, you know.)

PAUL:  We’re back!  It’s been a long time since our last review!

Today, dad took us to Jocks and Jills for lunch after we went to the 2013 National Train Show.

We got our food fast and the service was very good.  I ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza.  It was very tasty.  It had lots of toppings.  It was cheesy, barbequey, and chickeny.  I recommend this.  Before that, we got an appetizer.  We ordered the Spinach Dip.  It was a little different than we normally get.  It had peppers, which gave it a little “kick”.  It was good, though.  

Jocks and Jills is a sports bar. It had like a billion TVs.  They have a lot of cool autographed sports jerseys on the wall.  Roddy White’s signed jersey was hanging in our booth.  We also saw Mickey Mantle’s jersey!

Dad asked the hostess if he could take home this huge Derek Jeter poster that they had off to the side.  He asked if he could buy it; but, the lady said he could just take it home!  Dad was really happy!

This place is great!  I really want to watch a "big game" there some day.

Sam:  I ordered the Chicken Fingers and French Fries.  The chicken fingers were really good.  There was a lot of pepper on the fries.  I saw the pepper on the fries.  And we got our food fast, too.  When we were walking to the bathroom, we saw a Derek Jeter sign.  And the lady was being nice - she said we could have the Derek Jeter sign. 

Paul:  We took my dad to Taverna Fiorentina for a Fathers Day dinner on Saturday night (instead of Sunday, so it wouldn’t be so crowded).

The decor was very dark.  It was cool because it had a bar and two dining rooms.  They had wine bottles on the wall.  The two rooms were separated by a curtain and steps.  It was an open kitchen so you could see what different people were ordering when the waiters took it out. The only kids were Sam and me.  

We got two appetizers for our table.  We got the eggplant parmesan and the caprese. (I love caprese!) The caprese was stacked like a tower.  I said it was the “Leaning Tower of Caprese”  because it slightly leaned. The mozzarella on the caprese was awesome!  The eggplant came out super-hot, but it cooled down pretty quick.  I loved it.

I ordered the Gnocchi di Ricotta.  It was very good!  It had gnocchi, shrimp, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.  The zucchini was fresh and tasty.  The shrimp was very big and tender.  The gnocchi was light for a gnocchi, which is normally pretty heavy. I loved it!  I would recommend getting it; although, there are many other great options on the menu.  (And don’t forget to look at the specials, because they are very tasty.  My dad got the special lamb and said it was awesome.)

The server’s name was “Joe”, which is my dad’s name!  He gave really good recommendations.  He told my dad a really good wine to get with his lamb.  There was a bar code on the wine bottle and he let my dad scan it with his iPhone.  It told him where he could buy it in the future.  He came back on a regular basis to check on us and see if we were OK.   Joe was great.

I almost forgot about dessert. Me, Sam, and mom got the chocolate mousse. It was creamy and very thick. I liked it. It was very good.

I recommend this restaurant. 

Sam:  I really liked my spaghetti and meatballs.  I almost had my whole thing but I didn’t because it was too much.  I wanted to have it for leftovers because it was really good and I wanted it again.  I really liked the bread.  I liked my chocolate mousse dessert, too.

Paul:  I like to order the Chicken Sausage Pizza. It has sausage made from chicken.  It also has tomato sauce, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and fontina cheese. All the flavors burst into your mouth!  It is really filling, but light at the same time.  I would recommend it, although Little Azio's has a lot of other good choices. My mom likes to order the Hummus Wrap. She says it is a healthier option.

The decor is just alright. Not the worst in the world. Most of the time, it is very clean. You can choose between sitting outside or inside. It can sometimes be cold in the restaurant, but that is a good thing during the summer.  The booths are HUGE!  I've seen eight people stuffed in one booth before!  They have two TVs that are always on sports, which I like. 

Sam.  I usually get the kids' Cheese Pizza. I like it a lot. It is why I get excited when we go there.
