Che Fico, is a California Italian restaurant from Chefs David Nayfeld and Matt Brewer in San Francisco's NOPA neighborhood. The food focuses on Italian cuisine through the lens of California.

The rustic, market-driven menu features handmade pasta, pizzas, antipasti, housemade salumi, meat, and fish plus dishes from the Jewish-Roman heritage known as “Cucina Ebraica.” The beverage program focuses heavily on both Italian and Californian wines with a cocktail program that utilizes a variety of spirits, amaros, and seasonal ingredients.

Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

The food is delicious and creative,not the usual predictable far. The chef owner is from Turkey. The breaking of bread appetizer with various Turkish spread like hummus, smoked red pepper compote, olives and pickled vegetables was such fun to share. I had the Anatolian pasta dish with mushrooms, hazelnuts and winter squash while my friend had lamb ribs.

Fantastic!!! I had booked this a month ago for 8 for a business event. We ended up with 11 and the hostess was so gracious and did her magic and fitted us in. We had brilliant service and the food was absolutely the best I have had in CA. Every guest enjoyed their meal and were still talking about it the next day!! Thankyou for such a great experience

A truly unique experience, it fully deserves the high ratings. The only downside I did not feel I’m eating at an elegant and high end place even though it’s priced as on. I highly recommend my friends to try this
