" The pasta here is a standout! I tried the squid ink pasta, and it was outstanding; full of flavor and perfect al dente. My partner had the veal, which he also loved. Service was great and the wine list was impressive! It’s a relaxing spot with enough character for a nice dinner out. Definitely on my list of places to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food but it took forever to get our meals. It was disappointing, especially since the restaurant wasn't very busy. Our server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. The ambiance is charming, and the food when it finally arrived was flavorful, especially the risotto. However, I expected a quicker service for the price we paid. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance is lovely and authentic Italian, I regret to say that my experience was lacking in taste. The food was decent but not amazing; it's not something that would draw me back. The service was okay, but it felt like they were not fully attentive to our table. I think there are better options in the area for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Caffé Delfini is a delightful spot that we chanced upon during a recent trip to Santa Monica. We were immediately impressed by its charming decor and warm ambiance. We each started with a light salad, which was fresh and paired nicely with their homemade dressing. For mains, I opted for the shrimp fettuccine while my friend chose the veal. Both dishes were superbly cooked with generous portions that left us satisfied. The staff was inviting and helped pair our meals with some fantastic wines. It’s a bit hidden but a must-try for any Italian food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here after hearing raving reviews from locals. The service was so friendly, and our waiter helped us pick the best wine. The pasta was superb, I had the marinara which was fresh with perfect textures. The atmosphere was cozy but be prepared; it gets busy, which can lead to a wait for tables. I’ll definitely be back when we're in the area again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t usually leave reviews, but my experience warrants one! Both the food and service were exceptional. I recommend the homemade pasta dishes – truly delightful! The restaurant has an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger longer. We tried several appetizers and the portions were quite generous. I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! We were treated to a lovely meal on the patio, and I must say the service was fantastic. The staff were personable and very attentive. I had the gnocchi, and while it was delicious, I wish the portion was slightly larger for the price. Overall, Caffé Delfini is a winner in my book! " (*Curated Review*)
