   After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and Florida International University and working through some of San Francisco\'s finest restaurants, Craig was awarded a scholarship to attend the ICIF cooking school in Torino, Italy. There it was an externship at Tuscany’s one-Michelin-star restaurant Da Delfina that paved his vision. He returned to San Francisco and in 1998, and, along with his wife Annie Stoll, opened Delfina, a 70-seat neighborhood restaurant located in the still up-and-coming Mission District, serving rustic Italian food infused with San Francisco’s local and sustainable values. In 2005 Craig and Annie opened Pizzeria Delfina in the adjacent storefront on Eighteenth Street followed a few years later by Pizzeria Delfina on California Street in Pacific Heights (San Francisco).
