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.

    For all its potential I found Che Fico lacking. The host and the server were cold, unsmiling, forceful and impatient. As for the meal, the suppli was a delight! The crispy shell of fried risotto cracked open to a delicate umami and hint of acidity. Also, the Insalata Triata was an elegant, yet simple salad that left me wanting more. The Cacio E Pepo spaghetti was decent, but served so early that by the time I had room on my plate to serve it, was cold. Regrettably, the Pesce, or roasted rock fish was the greatest of disappointments. As someone who relishes in saving the best for last, I was incredibly let down. The fish was quite over cooked and under seasoned. It left me with a taste that was less than palatable. In all, I would say that if you are seeking ambience over the quality of food, or you are maybe just out for a few appetizers and some wine, then by all means, go ahead and stop by. If, however, you intend to treat yourself and your date to a fine dining experience, there are many other options near by that will offer a greater level of satisfaction for your time and your hard earned money.

    The restaurant is amazing. We went two nights in a row it was that good. The service the 1st night was fantastic the 2nd night it was awful. Our server was so bad I didn’t even want to tip him at all. He made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable the entire night. Would come back to the restaurant for the food but would make sure to stay clear of him. Have his name but don’t want to post it on here.

    Truly pleasurable dining experience from beginning to end. The food is amazingly prepared and presented and the service is impeccable. The biggest challenge was deciding what to order, but thankfully the knowledgeable staff was helpful in choosing dishes based on our preferences. The background music was well-curated and the staff went out of their way to make things special, as we were celebrating an anniversary. 10/10 all around.

    Last minute reservation, but we managed to snag a counter spot. Food was fantastic, service was spot on, and everyone made us feel very special for my wife's birthday. I will be back and recommend it highly.

    As usual, food is solid. Pizza's are creative and well executed. Pastas are fresh and flavorful. Appetizers are very good. Didn't have any of the mains, as they seemed too large, but was perfectly happy sticking to apps, pizza and pasta. A little disappointed in the cocktail menu as they seemed creative, but somewhat missed the mark. The wine selection is great though, with a lot of great Italian options. Overall, great experience keeps us coming back.
