Welcome to Caffe’ Delfini

Your favorite Italian restaurant in Santa Monica

Caffe' Delfini started in early 1990.

We purchased Caffe' Lido from the Ciani family that at the time owned the Lido ristorante in Pacific Palisades and changed the name to Caffe Delfini. The logo idea came from a statue in London where the original owners (Lino Savoia, Gianpietro Silardi and Alex Ercoli) spent some time.

Lino left in 1998 circa to pursue his own restaurant. Gianpietro retired in June 2022 and a new partnership was formed. Continuing the adventure now are: Teri Ercoli (Alex's wife), and long time friend with a strong passion for food and cooking, Riccardo Menichetti from Tuscany.

Hope you will discover us in your next outing or simply continue visiting us.

Looking forward to seeing you soon, Riccardo, Teri and Alex
