    Another wonderful meal at Delfina :-) We’ve been customers for 25 years, and this group of nine had a spectacular dinner. The food, the service, the ambiance — all excellent! The team at Delfina always delivers, and it was a delight to celebrate with them once again :-)

    Perfect dinner - delicious pasta, fish and burger meals thoroughly enjoyed by our party of 3. The service by our waiter Dickie was professional, delightful, attentive with fun humor too. His back up crew was efficient in serving as well as clearing. We had a most enjoyable evening at this great old time San Francisco restaurant and we look forward to returning hopefully soon.

    My family and I dined at La Connessa for the first time on Christmas Eve. The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The host warmly welcomed us, the bartender was engaging and friendly, and our waitress was incredibly attentive throughout the evening. The restaurant's ambiance is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed the Christmas Eve pre-fixed menu. The cocktails were a highlight; my sister and I especially loved the Greyhound's Tooth and The Avenue. For our first courses, the winter citrus and chicory salad and the beef carpaccio were fantastic. Our second courses were equally delicious. We had the roasted chanterelle mushroom risotto and the rib-eye tagliata. Both dishes were flavorful and perfectly prepared. While the persimmon crostata we all had was yummy, we were a bit disappointed that we couldn't sample the dark chocolate budino as the restaurant had run out. The only downside to our otherwise lovely evening was the pacing. There was a noticeable wait between courses. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience at La Connessa.
