Wood-fired trattoria · Since 1994 on Bishop Street
Handmade pasta, things cooked over embers, and bottles you can actually afford. Bring a crowd; we cook to share.
Our table
Nonna Fico opened with eight tables and a promise: nobody leaves hungry, nobody leaves quiet. We still make the pasta by hand every morning, still light the oven at four, still argue about the ragu.
The menu is short because the market decides it. Come for two on a Tuesday or twelve on a Saturday — we'll push the tables together and pour something red.

From the fire & the pasta bench
The oven is oak and olive wood, lit before the first prep cook arrives. Whole fish, sausages, cabbages, bread for the table — if it can take smoke, it goes in.
Oak & olive · 400°CTwo flours, egg yolks, and a rolling pin older than the restaurant. We make four shapes a day and cut them to order — when they're gone, that's the menu.
Handmade daily · No dryersA list built for drinking, not framing. Everything's under 60, glasses from 7, and we'll happily open something odd if you're curious.
