Fantastic experience. The vibe, ambiance, and service were impeccable. The food was very good, but not amazing. Drinks were great. The price part was rather high but overall, worth it for the experience.
Definitely return to eat ravioli with chanterelles and corn and supply Amazing mint and dark chocolate ice cream and Pearl apple sorbet
We really enjoy the food at Che Fico! Our meals last night were all terrific. However, we felt quite rushed to place our order (our server came back three times to let us know that they were ready for it). We were meeting a friend and the first two order requests came before we even got our cocktails. We don't expect that from a fine dining establishment. Then, there is the cost. Everything on the menu is pricy, but when we got the bill and noticed that our martinis were $35 a piece, that really was over the top. That's more than the cost of a 750 Ml bottle of the gin we ordered (for each drink). We don't want to feel ripped off when we eat out and that was the feeling we left with. Sad, because we love the food.
Service took a long time; almost 30 minutes to even get asked what drinks/appetizers we wanted and the restaurant wasn't that busy. Food was alright, but a little bland. Price wise alright but not amazing value for the food
Always delicious, chic, warm and inviting. Great for celebrations with friends or family or for a date.
Every time we go to Che Fico, our experience seems to get even better. Food and service is fantastic (even brand new employees!). Highly recommend the heirloom tomato appetizer, focaccia, and any of the pasta dishes (freshly made daily). We also love the ambience with the live plants and decor. Thank you, Che Fico, for always providing for a great time!
Before this most recent visit, I was telling all who would listen that the meals that I have had at Che Fico were the best Italian meals I had had ever, including Italy. This time however, we were not so impressed. While last servers were warm and sophisticated, this one was frenetic and not really attentive to our needs. The prices are extremely high, bordering on ripoff, absurd. $135 for some lamb!? Did it feed 4? (All the mains are also quite expensive. )How good could it be? The GIARDINIERA for $11 had no special flavor. However, there were some delicious items and fairly priced--- the crudo, the lasagne (fantastic). And the sweetbreads, and the octopus and pork belly combo are both brilliant. The main point, they may be losing customers like us but pushing prices to what seem like an exploitive level. I know young, wealthy tech and finance people couldn't care less, but we are not all at that financial level. Lastly, I understand the vibe they are going for with the music, but it can get old. Some good jazz occasionally mixed in might not be a bad idea although maybe 30 somethings want loud rock/pop nonstop?? and I love Radiohead, the Clash, etc that were being played.
Everything was amazing! I brought my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday. It was both our first time at Che Fico and we were blown away by the warmth from our server. She made the night so special! The food was fresh and delicious. We definitely will be back.
We visited at 1pm and didn’t realize it was still the brunch menu for that time, but we were still happy with our meal.
We initially had a hard time understanding the menu, but our waitress was very nice and did a great job at explaining the dishes to us.
For drinks, I ordered the acqua fresca which was a rhubarb drink that was so good. My husband ordered the limonatta, and that was good too but not as good as the acqua fresca.
As a starter, we got the focaccia bread, and—my goodness, this bread in combination with the marscapone and honey was amazing. That alone was worth our 15 minutes circling blocks for parking. If you are here for the brunch menu, you must order this. If anyone from the restaurant reads this review, please share with me where I can purchase that amazing honey. That was the best honey I have ever tasted, wow.
For our mains, my husband ordered the panino per la colazione which is a breakfast sandwich. It was okay, I liked the jam on it.
I ordered the prosciuotto cotto pizza and it was decent. The crust was amazing.
We would love to come here again and try a pasta dish, along with a pizza with different toppings. But, they have a savory version of the focaccia bread for dinner, so that would be interesting to try, but seems like it would be hard surpass how amazing the brunch blueberry focaccia is. We loved the focaccia so much, we did two orders to go so that our family could taste it.

The food was amazing from the brioche to the pasta and the main event, the lamb. Best lamb I have ever had! Strongly recommend!
INCREDIBLE experience and the food is magically divine. We had a personalized experience for my mom's 70th birthday--every bite was from the heavens. We are obsessed with this restaurant (and hear they are opening a new one that is slightly more up-scale). Willie the chef is an angel from heaven with a heart of gold, and a food genius!
