Childhood friends Alessandro Ercoli, Gianpietro Silardi, and Lino Savoia opened this typical Italian restaurant back in 1990. Continuing the adventure now with Alessandro are Riccardo Menichetti from Tuscany, a long-time friend with a strong passion for food and cooking, and Teri Ercoli (Alex's wife). Caffe’ Delfini has become synonymous with romance. As soon as you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports you to the cobblestone streets of Rome, and soft music fills the air, adding to the intimate ambiance that permeates the restaurant. The menu is a culinary journey through Italy with dishes that are prepared using only the freshest and finest ingredients. Caffe’ Delfini isn't just a place to eat, but a destination for lovers to come and create lasting memories. In fact, it’s not just the food that makes this restaurant so romantic. The attentive and friendly staff go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels special and cared for.

My new favorite restaurant although it’s been there for 30 years. I only recently discovered it but it’s now my go-to restaurant for special occasions and wonderful meals with good friends. A bonus for me is te gluten-free pasta alternatives. But everything is great. A neighborhood gem.

The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. Roasted potatoes are not to be missed. Get a side if it doesn’t come with your meal! We walked from our hotel but noticed there wasn’t a valet parking.

We’ve eaten here twice, mainly because it’s in walking distance of our hotel. My wife was happy with her pasta dishes, but I had worse luck with mine. A veal milanese was far over-breadcrumbed, and a branzino much overcooked. Admittedly this seems to be a common fault with fish in the US. Finally, it’s expensive. $100+ per person. To be fair it’s clearly very popular with the locals, but I feel there must be alternative Italian restaurants in Santa Monica which offer a better quality/cost ratio.

Nice atmosphere, excellent service and the food was wonderful. It’s a very small restaurant, so we were a bit close to other diners and it can be a little noisier than I’d prefer, but still felt intimate overall. Street parking is non-existent, for the most part, but valet is available.
