Our restaurants:

Che Fico is a new California Italian restaurant from Che Fico featuring handmade pasta, pizza, salumi, wood fired meats and other dishes utilizing local California ingredients as if the Bay Area were a region of Italy. The Che Fico wine program reflects our food ethos, with an emphasis on traditional and biodynamic wine making. We feature local farmers wherever possible, and support small businesses and family winemakers. Che Fico is first and foremost a San Francisco neighborhood restaurant, a member of the community through warm hospitality and a generous spirit.

Che Fico Alimentari is an extension of Che Fico, with traditional cuisine influenced by the wine bars and trattorias of Italy. Our chefs were inspired by a particular trip to Rome, and aim to bring both the Roman cuisine and atmosphere to San Francisco. Che Fico Alimentari’s menu features more traditional fare - house made salumi, antipasti, classic pasta dishes, local and imported cheeses. We also have a robust pantry program, featuring housemade sauces and spreads, dried pasta and cured meat. We’re striving to transport the Italian experience of stopping in to your favorite neighborhood shop for snacks, wine and dried pasta to bring home.
