Best Italian Restaurants in Bernal Heights

Been hearing that this is a good option if you are looking for an retro vibe, impeccable service and something like House of Prime Rib. Did not disappoint! Excellent meal and ambiance.

We are from Florida and we fond this restaurant by doing a search online for the top rated Italian restaurants in the Bay area. We selected this one because of the Crudo selection and the option to choose a variety for tasting. This did not disappoint. We selected the Oysters, Scallops and Blue Fin Tuna. The Oysters were creamy and the scallops and tuna were tender, full of flavor and did not disappoint. For dinner we ordered the popular Spaghetti, Cantabria anchovy, caramelized onion butter and Rigatoni, duck sugo, brussels sprouts, parmigiano reggiano. Both plates were cleaned! It was very delicious and memorable. The staff work as a big team and are very attentive - even with having a huge table of 16 to tend to. The folks in he kitchen were gong non stop and put out perfection! You wont be disappointed having a meal here!

We’ve been coming here since 08. Nothing has changed. It’s so good. Yummmmmm

Service, quality, flavor: all impeccable. The gardiniera was so perfectly balanced, fresh and interesting with celery, radish, and fennel. I knew it would be great, but was even better than that. My table mate who doesn’t generally care for anything pickled was blown away. The chicories were gorgeous, colorful, and delicious. The tagliatelle was absolutely stunning both texturally and depth of flavor. Tiramisu and chocolate budino are exquisite, truly. Save room for dessert. I loved the NA passion fruit cocktail and sparkling blanc de blanc. Such a treat to have something n thoughtful and delicious for folks who aren’t drinking. It’s a beautiful dining room. I sat on the banquet on the south wall and felt like I was under a spotlite. A little less overhead light intensity would take it from a 9 to a 10.

We had a wonderful dinner at Delfina Restaurant last night. We ordered a lot of items and loved every one of them (except the gelato which seemed a bit freezer burned... but the pavlova made up for it!). The whole fish, the ragu, all of the sides (chard, Brussels sprouts, etc.), the pizza, etc. Everything had the best of ingredients and unusual (and very tasty) preparations. The service was attentive and friendly... overall, it was a great experience. We'll absolutely return.
