Delfino Mayfair is a family owned Italian restaurant at 121A Mount Street. Established in 1953, it has developed from a longstanding neighbourhood institution into a contemporary destination for pizza and traditional Italian cooking. The relaxed dining room places quality ingredients and direct flavours ahead of unnecessary formality, making it suitable for both lunch and dinner.
Starters include bruschetta, minestrone, crisp arancini and aubergine parmigiana. Burrata with cherry tomatoes and basil oil showcases creamy cheese, while bresaola with Parmesan and truffle mayonnaise provides a richer cured meat choice. Parma ham, fried calamari and king prawns with garlic and chilli broaden the selection before pasta or pizza.
Pizza dough is slowly proved for 72 hours to develop flavour and a light crust. A classic Margherita sits beside combinations featuring spicy salame, goat’s cheese, bresaola, artichokes, Parma ham and buffalo mozzarella. The Delfino pizza adds rocket, Parmesan and Parma ham, while a white truffle pizza and a substantial vegetable selection show the range beyond tomato based favourites.
Fresh pasta and classic Italian main courses provide alternatives for diners who do not want pizza, with gluten free pasta available for many sauces. Natural Italian and French wines, familiar aperitivi and house cocktails are chosen to complement the food. Desserts and coffee bring a traditional close, while the changing menu gives regular visitors new recipes without losing Delfino’s established Italian identity.
