Inattentive service and average tasting foods. Bread tastes amazing but anything that goes with/on it is somewhat pale in comparison. May give it another try if I’m in the neighborhood.

The service was great and the vibe is really cool, but the food was unimpressive. For $36 for a small piece of lasagna, I want to be wowed, and I wasn't.

Being a vegetarian, we had a fantastic experience at Che Fico.
Here’s what we ordered:
Mocktails
• Tiramanto – Excellent, not too sweet.
• Morso Di Vipera – Slightly on the tangy side, but still very enjoyable
Appetizer
• Focaccia – A must-try. Easily one of the best bread and mascarpone combinations I’ve had
Main Course
• Orecchiette Pasta – The only egg-free pasta option. Super tangy in flavor, and the portion felt tiny for the $36 price
• Margherita Pizza – Another must-try, especially with their chili bomba
Overall: Amazing food and a great spot for vegetarians. Highly recommended!

The focaccia bread was amazing! So light and flavorful. We ordered the agnolotti and the ragu pasta and they were both delicious. Highly recommend!

Came for valetines and the pre fix menu was amazing. Service was on point and the atmosphere was very lively and communal.

We had such an incredible meal at Che Fico. Every single thing we ordered was outstanding! Truly one of those dinners where you keep looking at each other after every bite.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere completely makes the experience. The open kitchen brings so much energy to the room. Every table was full, music was playing, the space felt alive and somehow it still felt intimate enough to easily talk and actually hear my partner. That balance is rare and they nail it.
We sat at the chef’s counter and I absolutely loved watching the kitchen in motion. Seeing the team move and then tasting the dishes as they came out made it even more special.
The focaccia was phenomenal. The pasta with their bolognese was rich. The pizza was my personal favorite perfectly balanced and beautifully executed. And the crostata? Eyes-rolling-to-the-back-of-my-head good.
Absolutely incredible. No notes.

Food was very mediocre, Service was poor and forgot two separate items we ordered. Still tipped 25 dollars anyways, definitely not worth it.

I started with the Suppli (Arancini) — comforting, well-executed, and satisfying, though not the standout of the night (7/10).
The highlight on the savory side was the Polpo e Pancetta di Maiale. The crisp pork belly paired beautifully with tender octopus, marble potatoes, and four sisters watercress (8/10). What really stuck with me, though, was the vinaigrette on the watercress — bright, sharp, and perfectly balanced. It quietly stole the show and tied the whole dish together.
Dessert sealed it. The tiramisu was exceptional — light, rich, perfectly soaked, and easily the best tiramisu I’ve ever had (10/10). Worth coming for on its own.
Che Fico feels just as welcoming for solo diners as it does for groups. Thoughtful food, big flavors, and a dessert that alone justifies the visit.

Don't know what has happened to such an iconic restaurant with hard working cooks you can see working. Our server could have cared less about us or that we had two dishes that we could not eat. Over salted and so spicy pasta it ruined the flavor of a signature seasonal crab dish. Cured meats but forgot the pizza bread that you eat it with, a $50 glass of wine that didn't fill a quarter of the glass and she told us it was within the law of a 4 ounce pour minimum. When the second dish came that we couldn't eat she smiled and asked us if we wanted to take it home. The Two person tables are so close together if you have a bad neighbor your evening is ruined. The woman next to us didn't take a breadth for two hours and we couldn't have a normal conversation without yelling over her. Also, why ask if it's a special occasion on the reservation if you can't even say “happy birthday”. Sadly, we won't be returning or hosting a private event there which was the real reason we went to eat there. I thought it was an option but it's now off the list.
The pastas we tried were very good, packed with flavors. The prices are on the higher side but worth trying out
Great service and impeccable meals! The beets salad, the agnolotti, arancini and lasagna were delicious as always!
Only came here because of Chase Saphhire, even with that the value wasn't there. The pizza and tiramisu was good everything else went over our heads.
Great experience! The food was fresh and tasty, and the service was attentive. The pineapple pizza is a must try with the sweet and spicy combo of chilli oil and pineapples!
