Delfina on California Street, San Francisco. Ingredients and taste come together right... perfect!


It was not the first time we ate at this fun and welcoming place. Every time we eat at Delfina we are most pleased with the quality of the food and the very special care to "do it right" from the young kitchen crew. Last Tuesday we had the Monterey Sardines (in the picture) with fennel and marinated with vineger, olive oil and other herbs to start. Sweet and a bit sour; this appetizer is delicious and surprisingly soothing. The freshness of the sardines and the generous sweetness of the fennel do wonders to open up your palate to the next dish. It was an anchovy pizza, with peppers and tomato sauce. Crispy and soft at the same time, hard to achieve but Delfina does. Salad and other appetizers were exquisite and well dressed to create deep and lasting flavors. The service is friendly and very efficient. They successfully combine Spanish tapa style with Italian and Californian cuisines: deliciously gourmet... and affordable too!
