   We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Delfina. Our server, Angela, was excellent. She was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The food is solid, and the drinks are tasty. I enjoyed a glass of prosecco that was poured generously. The ambiance is lively, and people clearly enjoy themselves. The music is loud, so be prepared. That's the only reason I'm deducting a star. Still, we would return.

   Great food and great service. I see that some folks say it’s on the noisier side but I found it to be easy to talk and totally comfortable.

   Everything we ordered was delectable. The anchovy toast was sublime. On first view, it seemed that there was an abundance of butter, but after the first bite, the realization loomed large; it was divine. We were a table of four celebrating Hector‘s birthday and we shared everything. The grilled calamari with rice beans and parsley oil was legendary. Although, Pasta Pomodoro could be ordinary everywhere else; at Delfina, it was extraordinary. Simple fresh spaghetti, tomatoes, a smattering of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Ooh La La! The wood grilled short rib, fell off her big bones, and we sopped it up with bread and warmed ricotta cheese and added the garlicky chard for the green factor. Let me not forget the creamy and delicious potato gratinata. I washed this meal down with a medium bodied Tuscan Chianti, which married well with the competing flavors of this meal. To end this perfect evening, we shared Coco Nib Pavlova, caramel gelato, warmed chocolate sauce, and hazelnuts. A candle, a wish, a toast to Hector my friend and hairdresser extraordinaire. 49 Never looked so good . Yes. Happy birthday, Hector. Our server Sandra was exemplary with her suggestions, her personality and her vision.  In gratitude.

   What an amazing, unexpected experience. We assumed we were going a very good Italian restaurant but had no idea that the chef has put together a wonderfully unique take on the cuisine. The staff was as attentive as you want/need and had the necessary experienced to read the table. You can stay with classic Italian if you prefer, but we urge you to expore the menu in all of its delights!

   Each dish was excellent and the service as well. It was just a bit loud and especially because of the table next to us of 4. The food is so memorable though, that we will definitely return.

   Great food and exceptional service as always. Delfina is one of my favorite restaurants. I was back in SF for Thanksgiving and only had to pick one restaurant. I made the right choice.

    Delfina has been one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco for over 20 years. I’m now able to bring my kids to celebrate special occasions. The food is consistently delicious, the vibes are always great, and the staff is a perfect mix of relaxed and attentive.
