About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • 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.

    Went here for my birthday & this place did not disappoint! Everything was so delicious! From the soft and fluffy homemade focaccia bread with fresh whipped mascarpone & puglian olive oil, to the seasonal salad, Piselli Primaverile. We tried two different pastas, the Gemelli Al Pesto and the Agnolotti Del Plin & the Roasted Rockfish for a nice protein! Don't skip the dessert! we had a perfect slice of Tiramisu that was so tasty!! oh yeah, the Pomona mocktails were excellent too! chefs kiss!! we will definitely be back!! 🥳💖😋

    Great food, beautiful space, warm, friendly and attentive service. My dining group of five celebrated a birthday brunch and everyone enjoyed the experience. Incredibly patient staff as one friend was running late. My one comment, which is rather odd, the lav is dimly lit. I like a bright lavatory!

    100%. Firing on all cylinders. Four of us ordered one item from each menu category and it was a feast. Can't forget the pea salad or the buddino dessert Thanks!

    The restaurant was booked and the staff was able to accommodate a reservation for a special birthday that saved the evening. We were greeted with a happy B day and they brought a candle. The staff was friendly and very informed. The food was incredible. We will be back soon. Thanks!

    The overall ambience was decent and the service was quite good, which made for a pleasant dining experience. However, the food was average and didn’t quite live up to the pricing. We tried the Suppli, Pizza and Pasta — all were decent. I had high expectations for the dessert, but the Tiramisu was disappointing and fell below average.
