    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.

    We were there when they first opened, so it was very quiet and pleasant for our Sunday brunch. It did get more crowded later, but the noise level was very manageable. The pizza was very good, salad was great. Overall, it was a pleasant experience as this was my first time here. I would go back and try other things on the menu.

    Regardless of whether you eat with your eyes or with your stomach, you won’t be disappointed. My husband and I had dinner here last night and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous and the food is outstanding in every way. The menu is interesting and innovative. We enjoyed appetizers of Carne Crudo and Insalata Tritata which were absolutely delicious. Our entrees of rockfish and lasagne verde were perfect. We sat at the bar which was lively and festive considering it’s the holiday season. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is lively and fun. A definite must try if you haven’t already!
