   Nice re-model! Pizza with clams and sausage was outstanding as was a wood stove baked red snapper. Cabbage dish was undercooked and underwhelming. Crab with squid-inked pasta was fantastic. Music was tinny, loud, annoying. Why not play jazz with less harsh high tones and maybe invest in a better sound system? Crappy sound/music cheapens the overall vibe. I noticed new acoustic tiles overhead but they did little to quell noise. I know a lively, if loud, environment turns tables, but we were unable to talk above the din. Staff was great, knowledgeable and kind. Desserts (tiramisu and panacotta) were stellar!

   Lovely updated interior with a great menu of delicious diverse flavors. The pasta was delicious but the standout was the lamb with yogurt sauce, so tender and flavorful. The ambience was very moody and intimate, would love to come back for a special occasion.

   Incredibly charming restaurant. Excellent and attentive service. Great wine list. Delicious food. The restaurant is always bustling so it’s not easy to have an across the table conversation without having to raise your voice over the conversations of other diners.

    The food was exceptional. The service was great. We dined at Delfina a month before and we had friends visiting from New York so decided to take them here and they loved the food, and they had just returned from vacationing in France and Spain.

    Love the remodel. The pasta portions and ratio of calamari in the appetizer were very small. The selection of music was not to our liking…..a bit “clubby” for Delfina.

    A very noisy hub for dinner - lively but also we did find it a bit hard to talk across the small table. Food is light modern Italian. More designed for sharing food so larger numbers - four and more is ideal. We would recommend and will eat here again.

    We had a table that during dinner between 10 and 20 times people (wait staff and customers) bumped into. Sorry. This simply is unacceptable. If you pack your restaurant that densely, I am not coming back.

    Our deviled eggs had clearly come out of the fridge and not freshly made. The fried capers were cold and not crunchy. The other appetizers were ok; we were not wowed by any of our dishes minus the pasta. Over all it was underwhelming.

    Way too pricey. 7% sf mandate and tip options are 18-20-25. Rip off for a $30 pizza. No wonder no one was there tonight.

    Mediocre at best. The whipped ricotta was grainy and bland and the accompanying bread was also dull. Pasta dish was ok but a more substantial noodle with the bolognese would have been better. Duck really overcooked. Tiramisu was dry. This restaurant may have seen it’s day.

    Had my recent bday dinner here and have not been since well before the Pandemic (table next to us said the same thing) they did a remodel and have a dedicated take out/ pizza area and the main dining room reopened in October. The staff is superb and our waiter gave excellent input with regards to our wine selection (I’m clueless when it comes to Italian wines) and side dish options. I had the Oxtails: 2 ginormous pieces (took home and ate 2 other meals with the leftovers) with risotto, my hubs had the lamb with yogurt sauce and butter beans and we shared a side of tagliatelle. So delish!

    Our dinner was amazing and Delfina is still rocking it after all these years. The place has a great vibe, service was spot on, and the food is super delicious with surprising flavors. All so good. It’s taken us too long to return so I’ll have to get another table soon. Thanks Delfina!

    We were two families for an early dinner. The food was amazing, but the service (albeit very friendly!) was too slow. Our early dinner took over 2 hrs. I will definitely come back, but certainly I don’t consider this as a family-friendly restaurant.
