My party of three and I had a lovely evening. The service from the moment we walked in was helpful, friendly, and informative, and our table was perfect. The food from the antipasto to dessert was delicious. One of my guests said the pasta With mushrooms and clams was the best that she's ever had. I am one of the luckiest to have this gem of a restaurant down the street from where I live !

I love Caffe Defini and have been going for years, but the food was average this time. My two guests and I ordered the linguini with clams, chicken parm and Veal piccata.

We got engaged here 30 years ago and always return for our anniversary (and other times in between) The food is excellent, the room is romantic and cozy, the service is great and the owners treat everyone like family. The area has recently seen the arrival of checkpoints for entering the Palisades due to the fires but it's easy to access the restaurant and valet parking - don't be dissuaded by the lights and cones - you can still get in and out easily!

I have been dining here since they opened 35 years ago, and it continues to be one of my favorite “go to” spots. The owners and staff are all terrific and the food is consistently excellent and delicious. And the ambience is lovely—nice lighting and not too noisy. Everyone I have taken there has become a fan as well.

Such an amazing experience. Super delicious food and great atmosphere. Went for my anniversary and it was exactly the quiet, reserved and romantic scenery I was hoping for. Can't wait to come back!

They forgot one person's main course. They eventually brought it but sort of surprised they did not give a comp dessert or something

It is so great to have this wonderful little restaurant back in business! Alex and Hector put on a great return show for us last night. Food, as always, was delicious. Service attentive and professional. And a very-happy-to-have-you-back vibe permeated the restaurant. Totally recommendable!!!

So WONDERFUL to be back at Caffe Delfini! Ricardo, Hector and all the staff made for a perfect evening!!! Food was delicious as always and the familiar & warm ambiance was just what we needed! Congratulations on all your hard work to get open again.

How could I not have known about this gem which has been open for nearly 40 years. Food was fresh and truly “homemade” as they rightfully boast. The owner is so friendly and spends time with all guests. The rest of the staff is equally friendly. You feel the charm of the old house this restaurant originally was.
