Che Fico in SF

Hype aside, Che Fico delivers on Chef David Nayfeld’s mission. The second-story space is light-filled and expansive, with an open kitchen showcasing a wood-fired pizza oven (nicknamed Loretta) and fig-festooned wallpaper — Che Fico translates to “what a fig,” slang for “that’s so cool!” As I sipped on an herbaceous, gin-based Coriander cocktail, I noted the soundtrack — the Talking Heads faded into Mos Def before switching to Bob Marley and The Cure. Pretty cool. Image: Fire-roasted chicken.
