Fodor's Review:

"Irresistible." That's how countless diehard fans describe Delfina. Such wild enthusiasm has made patience the critical virtue for anyone wanting a reservation here. The interior is comfortable, with hardwood floors, aluminum-top tables, a tile bar, and a casual, friendly atmosphere. The menu changes daily, but among the usual offerings are salt cod mantecato (whipped with olive oil) with fennel flatbread; grilled squid with warm white bean salad; gnocchi with rabbit sauce; and roast chicken with trumpet mushrooms. On warm nights, try for a table on the outdoor patio. The storefront next door is home to pint-size Pizzeria Delfina.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

I thought the food was really delicious, especially the Chanterelle mushroom pasta and the calamari salad as well as the celery root soup. Wine list was a bit high for a $$--believe $$-$$$ more appropriate. Only drawback for me was that it was very noisy.
