Che Fico

This buzzy Italian eatery by chefs David Nayfeld and Angela Pinkerton regularly draws hour-plus waits for its handmade pasta and sourdough-whole-grain pizzas. But dessert-seekers can skip the line to snag scoops of gelato to go. (Of course, it’s also available in-house, if you’re lucky enough to snag a seat.) The restaurant typical offers three to four small-batch flavors at a time, which might include classics like salted caramel, fior di latte, or pistachio. (If you spot malted yogurt gelato on the menu, get it—it’s an early standout.) Top your scoop with olio verde—extra virgin olive oil—or aged balsamic for a tangy twist.
