We had been looking for our new “go to” Italian place in the Bay Area after a few of them closed down, so we tried Che Fico and weren’t disappointed. Everything was delicious from start to finish. Easy parking in the underground car park was a bonus too.

It was very pleasant to have staff treat us as if we were the only diners in the room—attentive, pleasant, prompt, congenial—it makes the meal so pleasant. The food, as usual, was outstanding from the traditional Flea Street biscuits to the after dinner chocolate, it was a joy to eat. Had the short ribs (excellent—tender, juicy, nice sides), the Oro salmon (high quality), the crab cake (better than usual and better than most competitors with its threads of crab, not just ground up compressed crab meat), an excellent consome, tasty and delicious with mushrooms (although a bit small), and the garden salad (although missing the avocado dressing advertised, but the quality of the greens was enough that we didn't complain). What would we do to improve? More choices of wine by the glass (we had to order a whole bottle to get a white wine we liked); more choices of dessert (only 3 on the menu); more popular imported brands of beer. We will certainly return.
