You go to some restaurants for the food, some the wine and others dessert. At Delfina, it’s about all three— plus the stellar service and hip gastronomic vibe. In the nucleus of San Francisco’s gourmet ghetto since 1998, proprietor Chef Craig Stoll works a special magic that evokes his background in such kitchens as Italy’s Da Delfina (Delfina’s namesake ristorante). Pour me anything from the luscious rosso wine list, fill up another bowl of wild nettle risotto, and sign off with buttermilk panna cotta draped in caramel and pomegranate. Any of these and my world will be pure bliss indeed. Oh, and if you’re a pizza fan of the thin-crusted, neapolitan style, Pizzeria Delfina is conveniently ensconced right next door. 415.437.6800. And, don’t miss the newest member of  the Delfina family, Pizzeria Pacific Heights, 2406 California Street, 415.440.1189.
