Che Fico
Italian
The name is Italian slang for "how cool," which sets the tone immediately. This NoPa taverna pulls off the neat trick of feeling genuinely chic while cooking entirely rustic, wood-fired Italian, the kind of place where the blistered pizzas and handmade salumi make the room's good looks feel incidental. Reservations stay competitive all week, so the bar, stocked with cocktails built around things like green walnut and basil eau de vie, does steady work as a fallback plan.
