"If you’ve got an appreciation for wood-fired pizzas, fresh pastas, and live plants then dinner at Che Fico isn’t an option, it’s a must. The Divisidero Street Italian restaurant is stunning from top to bottom: vining plants dangle from the rafters, photo-worthy floral wallpaper abounds, and the menu showcases playful hand-drawn art. The seasonal Italian fare includes must-order dishes such as fried risotto called suppli, house-made salumi, and the pineapple-topped Ananas pizza. Pastas range from Bolognese tagliatelle to meaty lasagna, with sharable secondi such as a whole rockfish and wood-oven roasted lamb loin to fill out the meal. Don’t skip a crostada or some fior de latte gelato for dessert." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman
