Delfino

Delfino in Roslindale Square is a spot we aren’t going to gatekeep. Because first of all, this is our job, and second, because everybody should have a meal here at some point. This tiny restaurant makes big plates of things like open-faced lobster ravioli, veal saltimbocca that oozes cheese from every nook and cranny, and a plate of linguine frutti di mare that’s bursting with mussels, clams, shrimp, scallops, and calamari. The portions are enormous, so you’ll have a nice plate for lunch the next day. It’s crowded just about every night, but they turn over tables efficiently, so you can usually walk in.
