About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
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 food and service was so amazing for our anniversary night dinner. They even brought over small glasses of champagne for us before our meal. So sweet!

    outrageously delicious food and such attentive service in a beautiful environment! Why didn't we know about this place earlier? We just ordered almost everything on the brunch menu (kidding, but we ordered a LOT) and it all was really amazing! We ended up taking some of everything home and the folks at home quickly finished it off. Polenta eggs? Yum! Yogurt and granola? Yes, please! eggs and sausage? terrific! French toast? Do NOT miss this if you want something sweet. Strawberry rhubarb juice? Delicious! (although I was wishing they had added a splash of balsamic vinegar to make it a shrug). Even the coffee was a religious experience. And the wait staff were great--helping us through the menu and super attentive and kind. Not to mention, I sort of felt like I was sitting in a fairy garden. We will be back!!

    Sure, We were looking forward to dining at Che Fico but left underwhelmed and disappointed. While the service was technically “fine,” it lacked warmth and consideration—especially for families. We had a baby with us and weren’t offered a high chair until we asked, at which point we were told our table location blocked the walkway. Unfortunately, no alternative seating or accommodation was offered. Our server was professional but distant, and the overall atmosphere felt cold and sterile. Food arrived quickly, but most of it didn’t live up to the hype. The focaccia and the spaghetti were genuinely delicious and the only dishes we’d consider ordering again. My cousin’s gnocchi, on the other hand, was completely overcooked and turned to mush. When we politely asked if it could be made more al dente in the future, our server condescendingly explained that “gnocchi is supposed to be soft”—and that only if the chef felt like cooking it differently might it be considered. Not exactly the warm hospitality you’d hope for at a restaurant of this caliber. Given the steep prices and the lackluster service, this was not an experience we’d repeat. Che Fico, you can—and should—do better.

    We went for brunch. The front of house was friendly. The server who took our order seemed annoyed we had children at the table. She was short when answering the two questions we asked about the menu. She looked over at the children every time they moved during the three minutes we took to place the order. It was apparent she was annoyed with children as she actually smiled when we paid the bill. We also did not receive the little candy pieces our neighbor table received with their bill. It was not worth our time to ask for that or to notify the server of the top of the avocado that was left in one our dishes. That could definitely break a tooth. We are aware of children at the table and take care to not disrupt the area. The food was tasty. There are plenty of other restaurants in SF where families are more welcome.

    The food, service and ambiance were all excellent. We would eat there again. It is not great value but it was a great experience.
