Delfina Restaurant

Really cozy little restaurant with a pizza kitchen attached. The ambiance inside is very nice, and the hostess was able to squeeze us in despite being fully booked. The wait staff was friendly and offered many suggestions on what to order. Pasta portions are on the smaller side, but the flavors are great - especially the sauce they used on the Truffle dish. Was bummed to hear the espresso machine was not working!

Top notch service and beautiful space, although the quality of food did not quite match the price. We paid $160 with tip for a small meal and single glass of wine. The duck was good, but not amazing, and same with the salad. But at least we were able to walk in with no reservation at 6pm on a Monday.

We waited for 30 min, it’s definitely worth the wait! Saffron Arancini is Italian rice ball, it’s a great dish to start with. Grilled Monterey Calamari is fresh and tasty. Our waiter recommended seasonal special: Cherry Pie Pizza, those cherry tomatoes are so sweet. Finally, we love our dessert - pistachio gelato and strawberry sorbetto!
This place is so popular, still many to dine in at 8pm. I recommend this place if you are in near Mission District.

Amazing food and service, and they now have a lovely outdoor setup with heaters. Service was super lovely - they were running late with our pizza (though honestly we didn’t notice), and kindly apologized by giving us arancini on the house. Funnily enough the arancini was probably my favorite part of the meal - they were absolutely delightful!
