RESTAURANT REVIEW
While we never did a scientific study, we suspect that if you asked someone who lives in San Francisco which restaurant serves the best Cal-Ital cuisine in the city, there is a good chance they would say Delfina. Craig Stoll's obsession with the local terroir shows up in opening dishes like a house-made wild boar sausage with a lentil salad and paccheri pasta with blue-nosed sea bass, and mains like sand dabs in acqua pazza with tomatoes and olives. It's an extremely popular and extremely small place, so you will need to book well in advance of your visit.
