    Just wish they would have cushion on the chairs. The cushy bench sitting is comfortable but not the hard wood chair. Otherwise love the restaurant.

    Great pasta. The sardine dish was a little buttery and salty but still yummy. Great cocktails and wine selection too. Always a favorite.

    We have been coming to the restaurant since its opening in 1998, me as recently as last October. We felt the kitchen has never been better. We shared anchovies with butter on toast, the spaghetti pomodoro (perfectly executed and still justifying its legend), the pesce del giornio (a 2 pound American snapper) and the insalata di campo (well sourced lettuces and on point dressing). An interesting red from Piemonte. Warm, well informed, attentive service. Still one of our very favorite restaurants anywhere. Will continue to be a highlight of any San Francisco visit. Already anticipating our next meal here.

    My husband and I celebrated our Valentine’s Day here. The night was busy but the service was fast. Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. Strongly recommend the short rib for two. We will definitely come back to try more dishes!

    Great whole fish. The chicken liver Cristini was also memorable.

    Love Delfina's. I have been going there since they originally open some 20-odd years ago. Has always been great and still is. The spaghetti pomodoro and panna cotta are two specialty items!
