    I'd say it's "fine". Overpriced considering the tastes and quality are so-so, but the ideas and execution are done with care. The service was uneven - some very warm accommodating servers, and some who seemed disinterested in anything but the bare minimum. Serviceable.

    You wouldn’t expect to experience such great food, service and wine from a chain of restaurants in NYC. Serafina, whether you dine in or outside is a treat! Not a repeat place for breakfast, stick with lunch or dinner and you’ll be happy.

    I found the food not worth the price. And the person who waited on us was terrible. He never introduced himself and was extremely inattentive. In fact I would say he was borderline rude.

    Came to have dinner before seeing a show. The food was exceptional and the service was great. Had the lobster ravioli which were excellent. If I had one negative thing to say about the service I wish the waiter was a bit more friendly and spoke a little louder.

    We(party of 2) arrived 10 min prior to our reservation time and were told we couldn't be seated. A group of 4 walked in after us and had the same reservation time but were seated right away. It took 10-15 min before we were even approached by a server who only asked if we wanted bottle or tap water. The food was delicious but the service was sub par for the price points and overall vibe the restaurant was trying to accomplish.

    The restaurant is actually nice but after getting our appetizers we never saw our waiter again and it took a long time for our dinner to arrive. As an Italian restaurant I was surprised we were never offered bread and that our beverages never got refilled. There seemed to be plenty of staff but most seemed confused or just standing around. Not sure I could recommend with all the other dining options nearby.

    It was a very rushed atmosphere. Waiter just shows up and asks for your order. Doesn’t say his name. Bread was served cold out of fridge. Calamari was cheap very thin rings looked like freezer bought. Chicken parmigiana was very dry not much flavor to cutlet or the sauce. Very cheap with the cheese on top. Ceasar dressing tasted like mayonnaise again no flavor to speak of. Asking for anything like cheese salt pepper water was like a chore where they were doing us a favor.

    The food was not bad, more of a 50/50 aspect. The Eggplant Parmigiana was not great but the Tagliolini Al Pollo was much better. Two types of wine were ordered (Point Noir and Chianti Classico - the latter was ok but the Noir tasted as though it turned). The location is nice and we ate outside, which gave little buffer between those on the sidewalk (e.g. a lot of smoke and pot smokers walking by) the inside looked nice and I am sure would have been a better experience. I would be hesitant to recommend to a friend based on this visit. However, I am doubtful this review will do any harm as they seem to be busy enough, especially since they have a few locations. The servers were nice and friendly as were the hosts. Still the food is a key for a return visit or favorable review and this is not one I could support.

    This is the second time we have dined at Serafina Broadway while visiting NYC. It is less than 2 blocks where we stay so it is a convenient restaurant for us. I had a Ceasar salad with chicken parmesan and a side of spaghetti. My wife had a goat cheese and spinach salad and ravioli alla salvia. Our meals were very good, and they moved us along so that we could make our show without any problems. The service was very good. They have a nice sidewalk area with tables, but we ate inside. I would recommend Serafina to those near Time Square or Central Park as a reasonably priced Italian restaurant with very good food and service.

    Convenient to some Broadway theatres. Food and menu choices are somewhat limited relative to other Italian restaurants, but there is something for everyone. Menu leans toward pasta and pizza, with limited meat, poultry and fish options. A bit pricy. Adequate portion size. Service was fine. They are able to get diners out in time for the curtain. A reliable choice for pre-theatre dining in the area.

    I would not choose to go here again because it was subpar. I think the best thing to order is the pastas because we ordered pizza, pasta and a brunch item and the pasta was what we liked best. Also, the salad portion for the price and quality was too small and the bruschetta was also fine. Overall it was fine I just wouldn’t choose to eat here again. Maybe the other locations are better, I’ve only been to this one.

    Food was tasty and that’s about it. Service was all around terrible. They brought the wrong order to my dining companion and for some reason brought my order back too, even though my order was correct. I had to flag down the server to bring my food back over otherwise it was going to sit out until the other correct order was ready?! Waters were never refilled during the meal. Our server never came to check in on us yet we saw him talking to all other tables around us. At the end of the meal I asked our server if bread comes with the meal since I saw several tables around us with bread. His response was that it’s free but you have to ask them for it and then they’ll bring it… overall good food but not worth it for the bad service and all around experience.

    My son and girlfriend had a special date night and wanted to go to the Serafina Bway location, instead of the location near Times Sqr, where they felt like they were in a hotel lobby. Right from the beginning, they were seated at a quiet table as requested and the appreciated the professional service. They started with ahi tuna and meatball appetizers and really enjoyed the penne w/ vodka and the mushroom pasta. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions — very competitive. Will recommend and come again!
