    Delfina

    Restaurant | by Elay Cohen a 37 year old male traveling as a family from San Francisco | Apr 28 '05

More information on Delfina

Unpretentious warehouse-chic atmosphere, reasonable prices, and chef/co-owner Craig Stoll's ultrafresh seasonal Italian cuisine have made this family-owned restaurant one of the city's most cherished. Stoll, who was one of Food & Wine's Best New Chefs in 2001, changes the menu daily, while his wife Annie works the front of the house (when she's not being a mom). Standards include Niman Ranch flat-iron steak with french fries, and roasted chicken with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and royal trumpet mushrooms. The winter menu might include slow-roasted pork shoulder or gnocchi with squash and chestnuts, while spring indulgences can include sand dabs with frisée, fingerling potatoes, and lemon-caper butter, or lamb with polenta and sweet peas. Trust me -- order the buttermilk panna cotta (custard) if it's available. A plus: a few tables and counter seating are reserved for walk-in diners. Delfina also has a heated and covered patio that's used mid-March through November. Cocktail alert: Wine and beer only here. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
