For food lovers..really! – I went to Delfina's last Saturday with my boyfriend. I had first visited the place in mid-July; taking my God mother there for her b-day. I thought the food was so delicious that I told my boyfriend we must go there as soon as we have the time. The second visit has sold me-- one of the best places to eat in this city, period! They have a nack for making simple plates incredibly tasty. i have had their two of their soups, three different appetizers, spaghetti, and their chicken, and have yet to try ... read more

Friendly and fun restaurant for food lovers – After several attempts I know how to get the best out of Delfina. Show up late. Just like any place in Italy, the staff is more relaxed and fun when they start drinking at the end of the day. Always order what the staff recommends; their recommendations are spot on. The food has not failed yet for me; it is spectacular. The wines they carry work well with the food. The staff is excellent. The location by Dolores Park and the mission is the best.

not impressed – finally decided to make reservations at the over-hyped Delfina, the food was pretty good. The service was definitely lacking, very surprising, since it claims to have the best service, out table was never reset, wrong wine was unapologetically brought and left on our table. But i do understand that everyone has a bad night.

Upscale Eats around Dolores Park – Took parents for dinner, but made reservations a week in advance. They were able to seat us early. Started with a salad, and then we all shared the steak, lamb, and gnocci. Each dish was excellent, especially the lamb, which was not overly pungent. This is a great place for a nice dinner that leaves you satisfied but not overwhelmed. The service was outstanding: it seemed that after every drink of water my glass was refilled. I think it may be overhyped, but its still a great eatery.

SO OVERRATED!!! – I can't believe that hype behind this place...I guess this proves that SF just is not the place for Italian food. It's way overpriced and the food is mediocre at best. I just don't get it. The location sucks and the atmosphere is so-so. Stay away, there are much better alternatives, even the cheap places in North Beach are better than this place. Please.

Good Food But Horribly Packed – Tried it for the first time after reading so much hype. Reservationist said they were booked 4-6 wks in advance for prime time dinner. I went 9.30 PM on Wednesday, found street parking. Restaurant was suffocatingly packed, even when we left at 11PM. Staff was very friendly, service was excellent. I used to live in NYC and there were many restaurants that occupy the niche that Delfina does (in terms of food quality, price, atmosphere, type of crowd), so there is never a wait to get in. I don't ... read more

Over-rated over-priced – The only thing i like about delfina are the fries and the desserts. Everting else lacked flavor and seemed overpriced for what we got. Too much buzz about a placethat isn't all that good.

Still worth it – Delfina is still at the top of its game. And contrary to what you might hear, it's not impossible to get a table. We reserved last Thursday afternoon for an early dinner the same day, no waiting for our table (if you want the 8:30 slot, that's tougher). The food was still great, each starter and main dish was consistently good. However, I must say we were shocked at how skimpy the portions have become. A "large" spaghetti dish leaves you wishing you had ordered two plates instead of one (and we are not big e... read more

Food Delicious but not worth the hassle. – I LOVE the food at this place. Everything we had was outstanding. But, we waited 30 minutes for our table (and you have to make reservations months in advance practically) without so much as an apology or an acknowledgement from the staff. We had to ask for bread twice. The lack of waiting area make it so uncomfortable to simply stand that we had to wait outside in the cold. This isn't Delfina's fault, but we were all so grumpy by the time we sat down that it was very hard to enjoy ... read more
