Delfino

Review
The restaurant is teriffic. Great apps, HUGH portions, not inexpensive but if you know anything about restaurants you know you usually get what you pay for. Do not go on a Friday or Saturday night unless you like to wait. Great scallop app, rack of lamb always good, lots of moderately priced wines. The calamari app is actually a salad, pass on that. Very good Filet Mignon and the specials are always worth trying. Killer chocolate bread pudding that's almost worth making a trip for by itself, just try to save some room for it because it'll be tough.

We have always loved Delfino's Roslindale, and went the other night for a birthday celebration. Let me just say it was a huge disappointment but everyone has a bad night, and we really love the place but after spending $300.00 I thought it was important to call and let them know. We would have told the server but he was utterly unavailable, a nice guy, but not a great server. The calamari appetizer was awesome as usual but the meal went downhill from there. Three out of 6 got the usually fabulous steak, all agreed, not a great steak that night. Pasta was overcooked but again we understand nobody is perfect. The problem came when I spoke with the owner, let me his reaction in a word was astonishing and not in a good way!!! The man was sooooo rude and actually downright angry, I would not go back there if they were giving the food away. Unbelievable, such an outrageous response that I have to believe it was not the first complaint he had gotten this week/day, he was practically abusive and I would venture to say if he continues with that attitude many more bad days are too follow. Too bad, a once great place, not forever off our list!
