    Che Fico is one of my favorite restaurants in SF. The service is always amazing and friendly and the food is amazing. Definitely best to go with people you can share with so you can try a variety of their offerings. Their focaccia, house cured meats, and the tritata salada are some of the highlights. You can't go wrong with their pizzas and pastas either.

    Always solid and reliable for an excellent meal and amiable service. The upstairs dining area is much quieter, a great perch from which to enjoy the livelier atmosphere downstairs.

    The staff was wonderful, very welcoming and friendly. The food was as expected, terrific! I love the place. Wish I could afford to go there more often! And very Argentine of them, they welcome you to sit at your table leisurely. Nice all around. One thing I am VERY offended by is that after happily accepting the price of the restaurant, they attach a hefty 5% "SF Mandate" ($9.05) charge, just for the privilege of have a $206 dinner. This offends me. I should ONLY be charged for something I bought, not just because I was spending a lot of money there in the first place! I was tempted to take ten dollars of my 20% tip to put the cost back on the restaurant, but I decided not to.

    Foreign Cinema is by far one of the best restaurants in San Francisco and throughout the years they have maintained the same quality level. The food is beautifully presented and the innovative flavors are a pleasant surprise to the palate. They have something for everyone. The crew is very well experienced and their recommendations for wine pairing is always right on. Don’t be surprised if they bring complementary dishes. We have been dining at Foreign Cinema since they open and we will continue visiting them.
