About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
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.” We also offer a tasty Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. 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, family or a date night and enjoy warm hospitality, food, and drink, through an approachable menu and convivial ambiance.

    Our server was never to be seen and we had a one year old and I had to wave down the manager to get someone to take our order. Even that still took a while. And then I ordered the food for our 1 year old and asked for that to be sent out as quickly as possible and it took forever. The eggs came before his toast? The service wasn’t good and it was so slow to get any food. Unfortunately the last time we were there it was the same thing… it took 30 minutes from clearing our starters to get our mains…. Not sure what the issue is but I don’t think I’ll be back bc of that reason

    Really excellent meal and very accommodating and kind to us bringing our 18 month old in for a 5pm res. Got the stonefruit salad, gnocchi, polenta, and anana pizza (pineapple with hot chili bomba), focaccia, suppli. All of these were superb, but I'd particularly call out the focaccia and gnocchi. Our toddler adored the polenta which now gives us one more thing to feed her at home, which I like finding!

    Went on a weekday. Arrived promptly. Waited 10 minutes for our table despite a few open tables visible. Good food, though on the pricey side. Large dining area with hard surfaces. Very noisy.

    This is a terrific restaurant in every way. Definitely expensive when you add cocktails and a bottle of wine but the food and service are outstanding.
