Delfino Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Delfino in Roslindale is a standout neighborhood Italian restaurant known for its warm, welcoming vibe and consistently delicious food. The open kitchen adds a homey feel, and the attentive staff makes you feel like family. Signature dishes like the lobster ravioli, veal parm, and bolognese are packed with flavor and generously portioned. The quality rivals that of pricier spots in Boston’s North End, making it a local favorite. Be prepared for a wait, especially on weekends—it’s popular for good reason, and they don’t take reservations. Well worth the visit.
Sat n stools, by kitchen to watch the magic happen. Love coming here. Small restaurant, suggest reservations, or get there when they open. Same Chef and kitchen staff, and our waitress have been there forever. Linguine with seafood combination choices, 4 sauces, boulonase delicious, all other menu items look wonderful as we watched them go out. Our ceasar salad was so fresh and properly dressed. Wine list with solid choices, good price points.
If you're looking for true Italian, this is the place! My wife had the seafood pasta and can't stop talking about how great it was. I had the chicken parm, and it was made to perfection with the most tender chicken I've ever had!
I had moved away about ten years ago and hadn’t been able to go to Delfino’s,. I returned Wednesday evening to my past favorite restaurant. Welcomed at the door by the owner, I sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen staff. My server was so good.The food was incredible, as it always was. I wanted to order all my favorites. I settled into the rack of lamb and it was the best. The prices are very reasonable and shockingly lower than I expected. Place was full with many folks picking up takeout orders. So glad I went and so happy for Steve and his staff for continuing this high standard of food, service and price.
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!
The food was all very flavorful and quick. The service was great with our waiter being very kind and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed the atmosphere and found it romantic with the dimmed lighting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting Italian food. The pricing is very fair and the food is delicious!
ALWAYS a fantastic meal!! we have been coming here for years. They have been in business for over 40 years. They have their own garden on the rooftop of herbs. Tonight I had the sirloin with mashed potatoes and the fresh vegetables. My husband had the Bolognese, which is always a winner with Veale in it. For appetizer, we had fried oysters with a coleslaw.. It was not your regular coleslaw.!!! For dessert, chocolate bread, pudding with a huge helping of homemade whip cream! Unbelievable look at the pictures Can’t say enough about this place.
The food here will change your life. Highly recommended!
