Food selection and preparation were outstanding, but the service was unthinking and slow. When pasta was served, we asked for large spoons, cheese and fresh pepper. Ten minutes later, after getting up and seeking help from the floor manager the waiter arrived with everything but no apologies. After 10 minutes of taking our beverage and dessert order, again, I had to use the floor manager, plus requested our check as we were beginning to run late for our theater time. 5 minutes later the waiter brought our order, but no check. I asked him for it and and he returned promptly and left the payment machine on the table, then returned a few minutes later to process our payment.

Let me preface by saying that I am a huge fan of Serafina and have been to many; however, this location was the very first one where I dined years ago. For the first time I was disappointed. The server was unengaging, inattentive, and dismissive. She disappeared after pouring water and did not reappear to take a drink order until almost 15 minutes later. When she took the orders and even when she brought the check, she seemed rushed and very abrupt. The food was okay but not as lovely as I remember from previous visits. The Arugula e Filetto is now made with flat iron steak instead of filet mignon and it is just not the same. Flat iron has a place but not on this salad, which has now gone from phenomenal to I won't order it again. The shrimp on the Caesar salad looked and tasted very bland as well. Also, I was looking forward to a wonderful glass of rose w/ my lunch but the bottle of Whispering Angel from which it was poured had obviously been open for a couple of days. Hence the taste was disappointing. I would still return to the 61st Street location as I believe that one mediocre experience does not define a restaurant, especially considering their previously stellar track record.

I was disappointed with my order of fig pizza. It was large, but had a very small amount of topping. For $25 it was not satisfactory. It was highly recommended by the server. My friend on the other hand had a delicious hamburger. For lunch, the prices for wine/food are high.

My friend and I went here after hanging out at that Central Park zoo. We ordered bruschetta and the prosciutto &burrata for our appetizers. The bruschetta was very basic but the prosciutto & burrata was delicious. For entrees I had the Cacio E Pepe and my friend had the Branzino curry tomatoes. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. I would go back just for the pasta it was that good. Service was great and the price was reasonable.

We go here all the time. However Saturday lunch should probably be avoided if you don't want to be around large groups of children. Also service very spotty on ground floor. They need more than one server. There didn't really seem to be anyone in charge of the restaurant. Will try again on a weekday like we usually do, but this experience wasn't great. Also a rude couple pushed right in front of everyone waiting to be seated, and they were led to their table rather than being asked to wait like the rest of us (who all, also, had reservations).

The kitchen forgot one of our orders (one a two top) and so one entry came 15 minutes after the first (after I had to point it out several times to the waiter). They didn't offer any compensation, or apology at first. I had to forcefully ask for consideration, and finally after talking with the Manager, received a glass of wine, gratis.

We shared the meatball appetizer (3 meatballs) and both ordered the lobster ravioli. Meatballs were delicious. Entree was also very good. I thought it was a little salty. We did not order dessert. One thing to mention to others reading reviews, the restaurant is NOT handicapped accessible. I use an electric scooter. There are 5 steps down into the restaurant. I did not know that when I made the reservation. I was able to slowly make it down the five steps with help from the restaurant staff. They also helped my husband lift & bring the scooter down the steps. Thank you to them for their assistance. If I knew in advance, I would not have gone there but it all worked out.
