- KKatarinaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •30 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoWe likes the food and the server was nice BUT the kitchen must have been super backed up. It took ages between appetizer and the pastas. And ages again between pasta/pizza and the mains. We ate quickly but after ordering just a single soft serve and asking for the check, we had been at the table for 2 hours. I think there was 20-30 minutes between appetizer and pizza, and similarly between pizza and main. This was all served family style so there was no need to give us THAT much time, which makes me think it was understaffing at the kitchen. Probably should try coming here on a weekday instead. Fresh crab pasta was wonderful, as was suppli. For the price and portion size though, I hope their kitchen speed can improve.More infoChe Fico Parco MenloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Menlo Park•4.4
