What happens when the team behind the hottest restaurant in San Francisco decides to open an offshoot of its insanely popular and wildly delicious eatery? Naturally, a grand slam is hit out of the park. Such is the case with Che Fico Alimentari, the recently opened little sister restaurant to Che Fico. From partners, David Nayfeld, Angela Pinkerton, and Matt Brewer, Alimentari, is a fantastic new addition to the city’s dining scene and a must try for any local food lover.

Like at Che Fico, Nayfeld oversees the culinary operations, Pinkerton is in charge of all things pastry, and Brewer runs the front of the house. Although she’s not a partner, wine director Francesca Maniace is an essential part of the team and behind Alimentari’s excellent Italian wine list. While Che Fico serves Cal-Italian cuisine and artisanal cocktails, Alimentari is the quartet’s homage to the wine bars of Rome.
