London Italian restaurant Figo is preparing to make its Dubai debut in Creek Harbour.
The restaurant will occupy the promenade level of Address Creek Harbour, with Burj Khalifa views.
London signatures include handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and La Gran ‘Romana’ cheese-wheel spaghetti.
A London favourite, Figo is bringing its stylish Italian comfort food and East London flair to Dubai Creek.
London’s cherished Italian culinary export, Figo, is set to make its Dubai debut, bringing its signature blend of traditional Italian recipes, hand-crafted pastas, and lively neighbourhood spirit. First established in East London with its flagship location in Stratford, Figo has carved out a fiercely loyal following across the UK capital.
Deriving its name from the Italian slang for ‘cool’ or ‘chic’, Figo embodies an effortlessly modern approach to traditional regional cooking. The concept centres on warmth, generous hospitality, and unpretentious comfort food, combining time-honoured culinary traditions with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
Beyond the plate, Figo is celebrated for its airy, stylish dining rooms that blend warm wooden accents, light-filled open layouts, and energetic ambient lighting. Diners in Dubai can expect an inviting space anchored by rustic Italian warmth and a buzzing, music-filled ambience crafted for staying long into the afternoon and evening.
While the Dubai menu has yet to be fully revealed, the London locations offer a clear preview of what Figo is known for. Meals at the restaurant traditionally begin with antipasti and small plates meant for sharing, from deep-fried Arancini stuffed with truffle and taleggio over pecorino fondue to Polpo featuring grilled octopus with burrata cream and Taggiasca olives. Other crowd-pleasing starters include baked Melanzane alla Parmigiana, delicate Carpaccio di Manzo, and aromatic, garlic-laden Al Tartufo pizza bread topped with buffalo mozzarella and black truffle.
The star of the show is La Gran ‘Romana’, a dramatic tableside signature where fresh spaghetti is tossed inside a whole Pecorino cheese wheel with Parmigiano Reggiano, cracked black pepper, butter, and bay leaf. For seafood enthusiasts, the Tagliolini Lobster arrives bathed in a rich cherry tomato bisque. Additional handmade highlights include the Tagliatelle Truffle layered with stracciatella and cured egg yolk, slow-cooked Tagliatelle Lamb Ragù, and the rustic Pasta De La Nonna featuring aubergine, tomato, ricotta, and crushed pistachios.
For mains and wood-fired pizzas, options range from crisp Pollo alla Parmigiana and Filetto di Spigola to artisanal pizzas like the signature Pizza Burrata with Parma ham and fresh basil, and the spicy N’Duja pizza loaded with spreadable Calabrian sausage.
Bringing a slice of London’s electric Italian dining scene to the waterfront of Dubai Creek Harbour, Figo Dubai will pair its humble charm and vibrant flavours with blockbuster Burj Khalifa views. Whether you’re stopping by for a sunny weekend lunch or settling in for a pasta feast by the water, this hotspot is bound to become an immediate crowd-pleaser.
