FIGO's December Specials and Chestnut Sagra

All you’ll want for Christmas is a hearty helping of FIGO’s December specials! Our classic Italian Stracciatella Soup is sure to melt your winter blues alongside a jolly plateful of Duck and Barolo with braised duck, wild mushroom and fresh tomato ragu fortified with red wine.


In December, we cheer for chestnuts!


Roasting on an open fire and featured in FIGO’s December sagra, chestnuts are coming to town! Each weekend, singing yuletide carols will take a backseat to delving into dishes like our rich Risotto di Castagne.
