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'.

    Service was great, but when it got busier, barely anyone came by our table. However, food was amazing! We order a bunch of apps, pastas, pizzas, and other entrees and every one was delish!

    Che Fico Parco Menlo never disappoints! We love the outdoor setting which is always our first choice for seating regardless of the weather. It’s well protected for cold rainy days and can be opened up for warmer weather. The service is top notch and the food is perfecto! They are quick to correct any problems if there are any. We love this place for both small and large gatherings. It’s definitely one of our go-to places!

    Great atmosphere and excellent service! Food was okay for me - spaghetti nero although a creative dish was particularly disappointing as it was too salty.

    Great food and staff. Best to come on an early weeknight for dinner. Noise can get loud, but the food and experience is worth it. Awesome seasonal dishes thoughtfully prepared and plated.

    We had an absolutely delightful experience at this Italian gem! The Che Fico chopped salad is an absolute must—fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The sourdough pizza is equally impressive, with a perfectly crisp yet chewy crust and rich, high-quality toppings. We tried the Genoa pizza, and it was nothing short of delicious—every bite was a perfect balance of savory and tangy. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. A word of advice: be sure to book in advance. This place is often fully booked, and it’s no surprise given the fantastic food and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend! 🌟🍕🥗
