    Very delicious food, cocktail and desserts. Price is on the high range for the portion offered. Waiters were very nice where a waitress patiently went over all the spaghetti options and gave some recommendations. We ordered the recommended dishes and they were sooooo good.

    The food was delicious, innovative, and plentiful. The servers were coordinated and ever present. The wine from Verduno was worth the cost. Fabulous.

    My husband and I had the loveliest meal at Delfina. The food is always good but the service hit it out of the park. They moved us from outside to inside when it was too cold for us. And when they accidentally threw away the remainder of our salad that we asked to box up - they made us a new salad to go. Delfina fires on all cylinders from back of house to front of house.

    We sat outside in the parklet but were well wrapped up and it was fine. Tagliatelle and the Bottone were incredible as were the Peay wines which were being poured by the Peay family. Had a taste of the short rib too.. amazing. It was a special meal and thanks to Craig and crew for making it so.

    Delfina is an SF icon for a reason. They continue to deliver incredible food in a great, lively atmosphere. Our table shared duck ciccioli, grilled octopus, gorgonzola leeks vinaigrette, short rib stew, goat cheese and chanterelle pasta, some warm olives, and gratin potatoes - all of them amazing. Go.

    Excellent dishes, although pricey. Noisy, not a great place for intimate conversation, but go for the food.
