Delfino

Let's start by saying that every aspect of our food was excellent. Five of us had four appetizers and five entrees, all unique, fresh, and served at the proper temperatures.It was the service that made our evening. One of our party was a rambunctious five year old boy. Our server keyed in on him immediately; she provided materials to keep him occupied, always served him first, and made it possible for everyone to enjoy our meals. She really knew her business.I wish that I knew her name, but alas, I've forgotten it. I hope that her manager might be able to identify her with the following info: She has a big smile and a great personality. We were sitting in the front window on Friday, 6/21/24, early in the evening. We left her a nice tip, but she also deserves kudos from her boss! Our daughter lives within walking distance of the restaurant; we'll certainly return!

We showed up at 6:15 or so without a reservation and it was completely packed; they do have 4 walk-in seats at the back, though, so we waited 15 minutes or so and were able to sit. It was a bit loud, and dark, but still quite intimate.They serve unlimited Iggy's bread with oil, which was well received as we were starving. We ended up getting the Eggplant Bruschetta as an appetizer, with the Bolognese and Meatballs as our mains.The Bruschetta was pretty good, with the grilled sourdough adding a really nice flavor.The meatballs were soft and really tasty, and the tomato sauce was pretty good with chunks of tomato. The Bolognese was also good; particularly creamy and porky.The portions are also huge, and not that expensive.If we're in Roslindale, we'll probably come back (but try to make a reservation first!)

This was our first time dining here after hearing about it from people for many years. We made a reservation for 6:30 and at 6:20 we got a call from the restaurant asking if we were coming. We were parking on the street and were confused why they would call, but proceeded to the restaurant and arrived on time.We were seated quickly and order an appetizer (arancini special) which was good and a veal parm and polpetta. Both were also good. The portions are large - we each brought 1/2 home.Our waitress was very nice and helpful. It's a small, well appointed restaurant - less than 15 tables I believe and a few bar seats overlooking the kitchen, so I would definitely suggest a reservation.It is a little far from where we live but I would definitely consider returning.

This restaurant was excellent! When we walked in, it was packed. The only 2 seats were at the bar. It was fun to watch the kitchen at work from the bar seating. The teamwork to prepare each dish was fascinating to witness. We ordered the caprese with prosciutto. It was delicious. The tagliatelle carbonara and bolognese were both amazing as well. We skipped dessert but would definitely come back here to try other dishes. The stuffed pork chop look really yummy as well. The portions were extremely generous. I had enough leftovers for another meal. The service was professional, friendly and attentive. 5/5 all around!

My husband and I have been twice now, and both times were delicious! The first time we got seated at the bar/kitchen which was entertaining but very loud. I had the excellent spinach and cheese ravioli (made vegetarian without chicken stock- glad I asked!) and it had great texture and flavor. I've also enjoyed the arugala salad with gorgonzola and pear dressing as well as garlic broccoli rabe. My husband liked the caprese burrata salad, antipasta, veal, and bolognese with homemade pasta. The chocolate bread pudding was soft and light, and the tiramisu was not bad.The ambiance is a a little old school, but we had great service and the portions are HUGE.

10/10 open faced lobster ravioli!! Would recommend ordering the pan seared scallop as well. The porcini mushroom was good, but I didn't love the plum tomato sauce pairing. Linguine with shrimp and scallop in fra diavolo sauce was too fishy for my preference. Would not recommend ordering that.

The food was very delicious and far better than majority of the north end spots.Papperdelle, veal parm, chicken parm, chicken and shrimp pesto were all on point!The tiramisu was decent too..i would give it 3/5Service was a little rough to start. Clearly it was a busy Friday night and they were backed up. ( we got seated 20 min after my reservation)Tableside service was good though when we got seated.Ambiance was decent as its a nice cozy restaurant

Great service, staff, ambiance and most importantly....food. A hidden gem that belongs in the North End but happens to be on the outskirts of the city in Rosi Square. Great for a casual date night or family gathering.

Nice place. Got the broccoli rabe pasta dish. It was okay, I'm glad they offer a vegetarian pasta option. Place was busy and service was fine. Not great. I'd come here again. Wish the bread came with butter or oil or something. Just dry bread was weird but maybe I have no culture.

Terrific Italian food. Every dish I've enjoyed here has been excellent. Each meal begins with wonderful bread and tantalizing marinara.
