"A great destination for foodies, San Francisco lies at the heart of the California cuisine movement. This trend fuses disparate culinary traditions, including those of Europe and Asia, and incorporates high-quality regional ingredients in a truly local cu..."

"Now, nearly 8 years later, I realize the most local, free range, organic chicken I ever ate was in that Zimbabwean village. * I haven't killed a chicken since that trip, but I have developed a taste for pate and terrines of all sorts, and when my waitress..."

"Unpretentious warehouse-chic atmosphere, reasonable prices, and chef/co-owner Craig Stoll's ultrafresh seasonal Italian cuisine have made this family-owned restaurant one of the city's most cherished. Stoll, who was one of Food & Wine's Best New Chefs in..."

"From the moment chef Craig Stoll and his partner, Anne Spencer, opened Delfina in the Mission District, the praise from both local and national foodies came flooding in. The short, seasonal, farmer's-market-driven menu takes its cue from simple, regional..."

""Many have bemoaned the gentrification of the Mission district, but if they stepped into the cozy, welcoming Delfina, they"d probably change their minds. Modeled on the friendly family trattorias of Tuscany, Delfina exudes an “everyone’s wel..."

"Craig Stoll's memorable Italian dishes to share or to hoard, served in a pretty pale yellow room, have turned this neighborhood spot into an institution. And now that the once-roaring din has been tamed, you no longer have to sacrifice conversation to eat..."
