From Back Home Hospitality comes Che Fico Parco Menlo, an evolution of Che Fico specifically created for the Peninsula located at Springline in Menlo Park.

Che Fico Parco Menlo takes inspiration from its critically acclaimed sister restaurant in San Francisco while adding new creations to its menu of Italian fare with California influences. Dishes of hand-rolled pasta, naturally fermented sourdough pizza, antipasti, meat, and fish celebrate the team’s’ passion for Italian cuisine and their dedication to using the best seasonal products from farmers and purveyors in the Bay area.

With a vibrant design by Jon De La Cruz, Che Fico Parco Menlo will be the premier destination for both business and social events with private dining options for up to 70 guests. In addition to the dining room, there is an all-season outdoor patio covered by a custom-built pergola with fans for summer nights and heaters for Menlo park 'winters'.

We had been looking for our new “go to” Italian place in the Bay Area after a few of them closed down, so we tried Che Fico and weren’t disappointed. Everything was delicious from start to finish. Easy parking in the underground car park was a bonus too.

Our reservation was at 7:30, but the restaurant didn’t seat us until 8:15. They did give us a free appetizer to compensate, but this did not fully make up for delaying our seating for almost an hour. During our delay, the host and restaurant manager provided only vague updates about timing. This was a really poor experience.

The food is delicious but a bit pricey. Try the clam’s specialty dish. Unique and very tasty.

Excellent food, very good service. A bit overpriced for a place without tablecloths, but I suppose that's "hip". We enjoyed our evening but it will hardly be a place we go regularly.

Food is inventive and often excellent. Cocktails are as well. Service has consistently been slow 3 of 4 times I’ve dined here. The patio is quite nice with protection from the wind and adequate heaters. Interior decor is amazing but very small. And the community table inside the door needs to go. Use the space to expand the bar!

Food: outstanding, with minor criticisms: portions small; choices limited (with exception of extensive wine list); pricey. Service: impeccable, with friendly, knowledgeable waiters. Ambience: no white tablecloths, but nice marble tabletops instead. Comfortable seating. More than willing to rectify mistakes (which were not significant in any case). Readily provided voucher for extra time in the garage. In short, a winner, but be prepared to pay for it.

This was a very disappointing visit. The service started well but was overall awful. They brought us focaccia that was obviously sitting there because it wasn't warm. The salad seemed off. The pastas were fine and eggplant was good but service was not good. Disappointing and will not visit again for awhile...
