Delfina Restaurant 3621 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110

"Very good atmosphere, somewhat slow service and overall kind of mediocre food for the price. The highlight of the meal was the appetizer - chicken liver crostini. We thought the margherita pizza was a bit overcooked. The ragu pasta was pretty good but the tripe pasta was way too heavy. Service was VERY slow and overall just not worth the price."

"First time here. We expected more from a Michelin star restaurant. My wife just had pasta and sauce. The pasta was firm and there was not much sauce. Mine was really good, don't remember the name but the noodles were perfect and the meat sauce was abundant. I ended up giving my wife half so she felt like she had a meal. 4 stars might be generous, but they could have had an off night. We may try them again."

"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!"
