    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.

    I was so excited to make a dinner reservation at Dalida because I had watched Top Chef, and I wanted to support Chef Laura! My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday there and Alta really took care of us. We got the chef’s menu, which we thought was such great value! They don’t really tell you what you’re going to get, until it has arrived at your table. It was really fun to keep trying every delicious surprise! All the food was very tasty and beautiful. I loved the stuffed mussels and the bread with assorted dips, in particular. We also got a few drinks, I got the Yogi Bear (NA) and my boyfriend got the Horse Warrior. Both were delicious and we were very pleased at how quickly the bar turned out our drinks. At the end, of course, they brought us a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle on it, in addition to the 2 desserts included in the Chef’s menu! Needless to say, we were stuffed. The ambiance was great, the room was well put together, and the service was all very attentive! 10/10 would recommend, for sure!

    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.
