"A casual, ocean-view restaurant that leans on fresh Mediterranean flavors—think mezze spreads, pasta and seafood specialties such as a seafood rice a la marinera—paired with chilled white wines and craft cocktails in a relaxed beachfront setting tucked within a large resort." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"Reopening in October 2022 after a 2020 pandemic-induced closure, this 18th Street Italian restaurant is a love letter to seasonal produce, housemade focaccia, cacio e pepe potato chips, and more. Co-owners Annie and Craig Stoll first opened Delifina in 1998, and Craig won a Best Chef award in 2008." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Pizzeria Delfina is located about a block away from the park, so stop by if you’re heading home after a long day in the grass and want to eat your body weight in pizza crust. Sit on their parklet and people watch on 18th Street with a glass of wine while you dig into some meatballs and a margherita pizza, or the panna with cream instead of mozzarella." - julia chen 1
"The iconic Delfina restaurant in the Mission location underwent a redesign in 2022, becoming even more welcoming and photogenic. The menu got a refresh as well, with unexpected dishes that touch upon different regions of Italy. (Additionally, the two beloved locations of Pizzeria Delfina are reliable sources for all things Italian.) Some dishes, like the duck ciccioli, are iconic. The pizza selection is loyal to the genre classics, such as the Margherita DOP." - Flora Tsapovsky
