What People Are Saying About Delfina

Citysearch

The Scene – Yellow walls, skillfully placed mirrors, squeezed-together tables and an outdoor patio add up to a warm and buzz-happy experience. The crowd is typical for the neighborhood--youngish technocrats and Internet types--but there's always a healthy smattering of older couples and artsy folks. Walk-in seats are available at the counter facing the wine bar, but your best bet is to call for a reservation well in advance. – – The Food – Insalata del campo--a salty-sharp, irrestistible combo of bitter greens, toasted walnuts, crispy pancetta bits and Parmesan…

i rediscovered takeout

by arisalomon at Citysearch

well it's been a while since i went here and i keep missing my chance because i can't get a reservation. so it finally downed on us that we can get takeout and it was great. it's true that the fries were packed with the steak and so got soggy and the boxes were too big for the portions. also they didn't have a big bag that i could carry my big meal home in.

but these are small issues and the staff has always been great when i've been there.

  • Pros: great food
  • Cons: too loud

Disappointed

by SaraLibre at Citysearch

I had no problem with them adding a healthcare surcharge onto my bill, because I think everyone should have health insurance. I was shocked to find out later that even though they gave out a card saying they're proud to be giving their employees health coverage, they're actually suing the city over it. I hate to think that they are using my money to take away people's health care .

This place is popular among non-foodies .

by phields at Citysearch

We gave this place a second chance after 7 years hoping it was going to be better than the first experience. However, they were true to their very average food and lack of ambience.

Menu is simplistic, unoriginal and quite boring. Nothing stood out. I had stuff I could have made at home.

We have often wondered why this place is so popular but realized that it's a place that people who don't know that much about food or want to cook go to. It's a neighborhood hang out and just very plain.

There are plenty of other great places to dine so no need to repeat ourselves by going back.

  • Pros: Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating.
  • Cons: Food was below average and there was no ambience. Just a very crowded and noisy place.
