Che Fico

I originally gave this place four stars but the pasta and pizza both won me over. I'd say everything else was closer to the four star level -- great but not amazing -- but the pineapple pizza and the lasagna were both rock star dishes that I'm still craving the next day. Highly, highly recommended!

A Taste of Italy's Finest Delights! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian gem, and the experience was nothing short of delightful! The Autunno sparkling drinks were a crisp and refreshing start, setting the tone for an amazing meal. The Insalata Di Radicchio, with its perfect blend of basil and creamy teleeka, was a symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. The Tortelli Squash, paired with Broccoli Rabe, was a delightful journey for the taste buds – each bite was a burst of deliciousness! However, the true star of the evening was the Ananas Pineapple Pizza; it was a culinary masterpiece that I won't soon forget. Kudos to the chef and team for creating such a memorable dining experience!

Hello Viewers. Friends and I decide to celebrate a big 4-0 birthday, and we decide to spoil ourselves by looking for fancy atmosphere setting, European style, crafted cooking dish and opening late. we found a restaurant that meets all the criteria - Che Fico. personally, I am a bit skeptical when I see the big dollars signs in fact I am getting the pizza. after browsing the menu, we have decided the foods including the cocktail, starting with Cozze or a mussel Ciabatta, Salad, Suppli Fried risotto, following by the Salsiccia pizza, Pesce "grilled" European sea bass Branzino, Broccolini, Italian noodle Tagliatelle, Zucca Estiva, and a salad. I I honest thinking it's a bit overkilled for group of 5, yet the waiter did not bother to explain if the portion is big or small. 🙄 of course, nothing is more important than friend's birthday. let's talk about the foods a bit. in my opinion, the most impressive foods is how to make the simple foods delicious. I am referring to the most amazing dishes are Pizza dough and Tagliatelle with bolognese. the pizza dough is chewing, fresh, with char grilled outside that translate the pizza is cook perfectly. the Tagliatelle noodle is ultra-thin that absorb the favorite from the bolognese stock that deliver the good skill set of the chef. my friends are exciting about the Branzino and order one, not me. they are a very common European sea bass fish, and I simply do not expect the fish will taste any different from the west side sea bass. it turns out I was right about it. however, the chef completed debone, Spinach stuffing and bake it, but I would be fine if they leave the bone insides and give some discount on the fish. at the very ends, the waiter bring us a salted figs as dessert to complete our weekly sodium intake. if you are coming for an excellent vibe atmosphere, comfortable sitting, crafted cocktail, polite waiters, weekly sodium intake, and excellent pizza dough that you can put anything on the top. Che Fico got them all. however, I would be ok just order the very basic yet delicious pizza and pasta, not a $72 euro sea bass. guess you can't put the price on memory. 😅 by the way - where is the tiramisu?

Very trendy atmosphere with mouth watering dishes. I can recommend the seasonal insalata (crisp texture, sharp flavor), the truffle gnocchi (melts in your mouth), and the broccolini (lemony with almonds and Romesco sauce). We sat at the bar and the service was great until our main man disappeared at which point we were a bit forgotten. Props to the waiter who really helped us design our meal.

Food and service were excellent. Suppli, atun crudo and tomatoes with anchovies where delicious. Polenta looked like hot oatmeal, but it was very good. Margherita pizza was exactly what it supposed to be, and spaghetti with vegetables were cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of al dente. Panna Cotta was probably the only dish that we did not really like. However, ice cream with chocolate at the bottom and nuts was great. I want to mention here that their 10% Dine in Charge is annoying. You can read their description of it in one of my menu photos. They are a very successful business. We could only get reservation at the counter. Raise your prices if you feel that it will benefit you, but having this separate charge is a turn off.

From the moment we entered, our party was greeted with warmth and guided to a beautiful private room, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. Che Fico impressed with its exceptional group dining experience. From the beautiful private room to the well-crafted set menu that respected dietary restrictions, the restaurant showcased its commitment to excellence. The array of salads, appetizers, pasta, main plates, and desserts highlighted the culinary team's creativity and skill. Combined with the inviting atmosphere, Che Fico created an evening of pure joy and indulgence. I wholeheartedly recommend it as a must-visit destination for any discerning food lover in San Francisco.
