Overrated – Delfina can be summed up easily as "Good, not great." Calamari appetizer was quite good, but with only four smallish pieces of squid it left us a touch unsatisfied. Fritto Misto app was nice but a touch greasy. Broccoli contorni was overcooked. Crab lingunie was solid but not nothing special. Duck entre was too salty but cooked to a perfect medium-rare. Prices were surprisingly reasonable, which softened the blow a bit. Overall, this was a good meal, but not a great one. Definitely not worth the hype.
A Cut Above The Rest – Great FOOD, SERVICE, ambiance and dining experience. What more can you ask for? My wife and I have been coming here for the last six (6) years and can always count on consistently great food served up by a staff that makes your dining experience enjoyable!
So good – Finally got a reservation, and well worth the wait. Friday night at 6:00 and the room was jammed. Casual but tony clientele. Sat next to a talky regular but much better than the cell phone dependent downtown crowd. Get the calamari --a great starter. The roast chicken is superb. We're not dessert people but went ahead and ordered the profiteroles (sp?). HEAVEN! Crisp pastry, smooth ice cream, smothered in chocolate with sliced toasted almonds. Prices not an outrage. We'll be back.
The Most Superb Food Around – Delfina has by far the most delicious food around. The Pork Sugo and Ragu are sooo flavorful. The grilled fresh calamari is cooked just right and is quite tasty. The squash blossoms are delicate and crispy. The plum crustata was amazing - just right balance of sweetness and tartness with an incredible crust. I can't say enough about how wonderful the food is. I just wish you didn't need to make reservations well in advance in order to dine there.
Sadly Disappointing – The food and the service were just awful. We're regulars at Delfina and have, unfortunately, seen both the food and service deteriorate over the last couple of years. What used to be a fabulous restaurant (deserved of all the reviews) has now lost itself. We ordered take-out and the meal was a mess. The salad was beyond overdressed (with slops of liquid pouring out of the bottom of the container) leaving the salad limp and soggy. And the steak (although itself good) was thrown into the same container as... read more
Painfully Overrated – I'm not sure what the big deal with Delfina is. I had to make reservations three weeks in advance for a very late dinner on a Wednesday night. Nothing on the menu that night was even remotely interesting. Roasted chicken, roasted beef of some kind, bacon wrapped scallops. The waittresses were impatient, and generally incorrect. The dishes we ordered were bland, boring, and too small. I'm not a heavy eater, but I left, after three courses, still hungry, and noticibly lighter in the wallet. Skip it. Go an... read more
Tantalizing and Mouthwatering – This is my second time at Delfina. The food was absolutely ingenious and fantastic. Our reservation was 20 minutes delay. But, our witstaff was really affable. She apologized and bought us 2 free drinks while we were waiting. I had the halibut salad and herb chicken for main course. It was delicioso and toothsome. The best racy food you could ever die for. On the other hand, the wine list was moderate but potable. The atmosphere definately gave us a joy of bonhomie. I strongly recommand this r... read more
Still Awesome – Delfina has been around for a while but it is still one fo the best restaurants in the city. I dream about their gnocchi! Service is really good too and prices are reasonable (except for the wines which are marked up a bit high).
FABULOUS! – I am so picky (just check out my other citysearch reviews) but I simply love this restaurant! The food is cheap and to die for- the waitstaff are so hip and friendly- and the overall value is incredible. This is SF dining at its best! Every time I anticipate having a guest in town, I immediately make reservations. It can be very noisy though...
