Delfina Restaurant

We really enjoyed the offerings and then the food. The staff was great, allowed us time to figure out what we wanted and then enjoy the food and each other's company. The only downside is that they had this great bread, but no butter. Not sure if they even had olive oil, they only seemed to serve it with a soft cheese.

Easily the best Italian in the city with an incredible vibe and even better staff. This place has a delicious, consistently updated menu of pastas, main dishes (including a whole fish which I dream about), appetizers, and two pizzas - one of which is always a margarita. I've had literally everything on the menu and couldn't say better things about it, but I especially love the anchovies which are a staple. The drinks are exceptional and the bartenders are just lovely.

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had all year. The server was so kind and helpful, super friendly to our little kiddos (5 and 2); they have off menu simplified kid pastas and a huge delicious bread starter that made our lives so easy so my husband and I could enjoy our INCREDIBLE homemade pastas. His capallacci was the best filled pasta I’ve ever had and my ragú was just flawless. Plus — for fellow Bluey lovers — they have pavlova for dessert!! My kids flipped. SO GOOD, we’ll be back many times!

Had a table booked but we couldn’t find a parking place in the surrounding streets so we were an hour late getting there. My friend had to be somewhere later that evening so had time pressure. The staff were excellent and really pulled out all the stops to serve us quickly. The food was really good. If you plan to eat there please get a taxi as parking is really difficult.

We have gone here a couple times, and it always exceeds expectations. Everyone is super nice and the food and drinks are amazing. Our favorites were the duck, affogato, anchovies and butter, sformaggto. For cocktails the Garibaldi was a great sweet and bitter combination, but really nothing was a miss.
