About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
From Back Home Hospitality comes Che Fico Parco Menlo, an evolution of Che Fico specifically created for the Peninsula located at Springline in Menlo Park.

Che Fico Parco Menlo takes inspiration from its critically acclaimed sister restaurant in San Francisco while adding new creations to its menu of Italian fare with California influences. Dishes of hand-rolled pasta, naturally fermented sourdough pizza, antipasti, meat, and fish celebrate the team’s’ passion for Italian cuisine and their dedication to using the best seasonal products from farmers and purveyors in the Bay area.

With a vibrant design by Jon De La Cruz, Che Fico Parco Menlo will be the premier destination for both business and social events with private dining options for up to 70 guests. In addition to the dining room, there is an all-season outdoor patio covered by a custom-built pergola with fans for summer nights and heaters for Menlo park 'winters'.

    Food was all delicious. Their chopped salad serves two and it the best around. Should be for $32. The pizzas are very light and creative. Loved the ramp pesto one. We're having the rest for dinner tonight. Octopus is a standout. Ice cream sandwiches are a delight - light and easy to share among 4 of us. Server was attentive and funny.

    Maybe we caught them on a bad night...We had the Lasagna Verde - it looks really good, but was cold and almost devoid of Bolognese. There were some other issues, but I don't want to pile on. I doubt we will return, which is a bummer.

    We reserved a table the restaurant said was "a covered heated patio...outdoor seating." In fact, the table was indoors, where the noise level was intolerably loud. I ordered the lamb sugo pappardelle which was very tasty except that it was way too heavily salted - a sure sign that the kitchen didn't trust the dish to pass muster. Ease up on the salt, chef.
    Che Fico Parco MenloResponded on May 14, 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Mike. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our pappardelle, but we're sorry to hear about the saltiness issue you mentioned. We take pride in our dishes and we'll certainly look into this. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and hope to serve you again soon. Best regards, Robert Lindstrom General Manager

    We have visited several times and had our second negative experience in a row. Service was inattentive. There was such a long wait between starters and entrees that I think our waitress may have not placed our order until we reminded her that we were waiting. Food was good except that the Halibut seemed overcooked and a bit dried out. Probably our last visit.

    I had booked an indoor table, and we, along with our guests, arrived on time at 7:45 PM. However, we were asked to wait outside for 15 minutes. When we were finally brought inside, we were directed to a space near the bar—but there was no table available, so we had to continue standing and waiting. After another 15 minutes with no update, I approached the same receptionist to check on the status. She said a table would be ready in a few more minutes, but nothing was set up. After an additional 5–10 minutes, we had to request an outdoor table instead. In total, it took about 45 minutes after our reservation time before we were finally seated.
