It was loud, it was expensive, the service was sour, and the food was nothing to go through all that for. Try Farine down the street on 18th, or Bar Tartine on Valencia. More

We had booked into a number of restaurants taking some of the best as rated by trip advisor, however we mentioned them to friends who lived in San Francisco and our hotel concierge who gave us a different list. This was one of their recommendations and I'm so pleased we went there. It was the best dining experience we had... More

This is a small crowded neighborhood restaurant with good food. Often you must wait and there is not really a bar, I suggest going down the street to the bar at Farina to make the wait more enjoyable. No question that the food is good. The waiters are friendly and nice and helpful. Comprehensive wine list. The beans w/ squid... More

an almost perfect dough, just a little bit too overcooked in the center for my taste, but definitely above average. Excellent toppings: I had 4 formaggi, with provola, fresh tomato sauce and basil, and great fiordilatte mozzarella. I stopped by as the pizzas on the sidewalk tables looked too good not to try them!

Anytime I'm anywhere near San Francisco I demand a stop to this place. Like a lot of places in the Mission, Delfina is almost always packed. So definitely be prepared to wait. Toppings are simple and fresh, but it's the thin crust on these pizzas that will keep you coming back! More
