Che Fico, is a California Italian restaurant from Chefs David Nayfeld and Matt Brewer in San Francisco's NOPA neighborhood. The food focuses on Italian cuisine through the lens of California. It’s our vision of Northern California as if it is a region in Italy, our connection to the region, and our love for Italian culinary practices. The rustic, market-driven menu features handmade pasta, pizzas, antipasti, housemade salumi, meat, and fish plus dishes from the Jewish-Roman heritage known as “Cucina Ebraica.” The beverage program focuses heavily on both Italian and Californian wines with a cocktail program that utilizes a variety of spirits, amaros, and seasonal ingredients. Che Fico is a place to gather with friends and enjoy warm hospitality, food, and drink, through an approachable menu and convivial ambiance.

    After reading great reviews, it was disappointing. My pasta dish was too salty and bland flavors, another couple shared a pizza that was also too salty and had burnt crust that had to be cut off. The beet salad was good, the o the salad was just ok. Paid $95 for a $30 bottle of wine. No need to hurry back.

    Great starters and desserts, decent wine by the glass. Pastas were only ok. Biggest issue is the cost.

    The food was DELICIOUS!!!! Every dish that we ordered was outstanding. Went there for a friend’s birthday dinner, it was 5 of us. We ordered the focaccia which was divine, also the suppli which my gosh was out of this world. Then we got 3 different pastas: caramelle which had a tangy citrus oily sauce and the pasta filled with veggies just melted in your mouth. The gnocchi with truffle and Parmesan and I can say it was probably the BEST gnocchi I’ve had in a long time plus they were super generous with the truffle so HIGHLY recommend this dish. And lastly we got the Bigoli Nero which was exquisite and probably my favorite dish, and the Dungeness crab meat tasted super fresh. We also got the chicory pizza which was probably my least favorite dish as it didn’t wow me. It was tasty but nothing special about it. And for dessert we got the Tiramisu which didn’t disappoint. It was fresh, tasty, moist and the flavors well balanced. The service was A+ from the host which accommodated us to a table of 5 even when my resy was for 4 so that was amazing! To the servers who were super friendly and attentive, to the sommelier.

    Beautiful space and instagram did not translate in the actual experience. Service was slow and server seemed bored. Did not offer/sell the menu and when we conveyed our choices remarked “having a light evening?” We saw other diners enjoying dishes that we might have liked but were not highlighted or explained. Highlight of the evening was cookie presented although it was presented with a $200 bill for 2 cocktails, one appetizer, one salad, and one pasta.

    Food was AMAZING and the ambiance is great. We expected service to be better based on the price - the courses were not paced at all and they didn’t always clear empty plates right away. They never gave us clean plates. But food was incredible so we would definitely go back. Just expected a bit more from the service based on how pricey it is.

    Overall delicious! Focaccia and Ragu pasta were standouts. Lasagna verde was a bit mediocre. Salsiccia pizza also delicious! Overall love the vibe of this restaurant and had great service. Will be dining again!

    Food was underwhelming especially given the price tag for Valentines Day. The service was good but the food took forever to come out. We were there for over two hours, not by choice; but presumably because the kitchen was backed up. We have gotten the food there a few times before and it was much better than what we had on Valentine’s Day. We sat at the bar and the bartender serving us was good and comped us a drink because of how long the food was taking to come out. Overall it was disappointing, but I will go back a some point
