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'.

    Food was decent, pizza was disappointing, but Pasta was great. Service was the low point. We had to keep requesting for someone to take our order at the beginning and during. They did not bring the wine that we ordered until we were almost done eating and told us they couldn't locate the wine we ordered in the cellar. Towards the end they were nice, tried to pour complimentary wine. But overall disappointed with the service. For the high-end prices, we expected better.

    I felt the pizza was flavorless and took about 4550 minutes to get to the table. The pork chop had some good flavor as well as the beans that were on the plate and the meat salad tasted good but at $150 I will not be going back.

    Thanks for visiting us, Elliot! We're thrilled to hear that you consider us the best pizza this side of Naples. Funny enough, we just did an event in Naples- Florida. We strive to provide the best quality ingredients and service to match, and your feedback helps us do just that. We look forward to serving you again soon. - Che Fico Parco Menlo Management Team.

    Service was slow, communication was poor: they decided not to serve pizza at all for the day because the chef wasn’t happy with the sough (?) but were conveniently not telling anybody this until they tried to order a pizza. Shady move to avoid people bailing in their reservations. Took 30 minutes from being seated to being able to put in anything but the initial drink order. At this level of price, none of this is acceptable

    After really looking forward to our return experience: I think the lesson learned is not to come on a busy holiday weekend. It was packed. We waited for at least 15 minutes with a reservation. Lesson learned about bar sitting too The pork chop was very very fatty and our butter beans ( which we love) we very uneven in their cooking. The bar staff ( where we sat) was really inattentive and we like them. Had a great time last time with them. I had to wait for quite a while for just water - then to add sparking water and then to order drinks and then to order more drinks and to get spoons to eat our dessert with. I mean c’mon- we were right in front of you 🫣 We like the staff and the food but overall this was not very encouraging to return when we didn’t love it and it’s not a cheap meal (300$) for three of us with two entrees and a veg. That’s a lot. Anyway - I love the city Che Fico and will probably go there instead. Best of luck - Menlo Park seems to love you.
