    The service was terrific. My friend and I shared the Serafina Chicken Salad and Lemon Farfalla, which are a perfect fit and has become our go-to meal, as Serafina has become our go-to restaurant for getting together when I come to town.

    "Serafina on Broadway is an absolute culinary gem that deserves every bit of praise it receives. From the moment you step through the door, you are transported to a cozy and inviting Italian oasis that feels like a true escape from the bustling streets of Broadway. The ambiance at Serafina is nothing short of enchanting. The warm and rustic decor, complete with charming Italian accents, creates a welcoming and intimate atmosphere that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're on a romantic date, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a delightful meal, Serafina sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. But it's the food at Serafina that truly steals the show. The menu is a masterpiece of Italian cuisine, offering a wide range of dishes that cater to every palate. From the moment you take your first bite, you can taste the authenticity and passion that goes into every dish. The flavors are rich, bold, and undeniably Italian, making each meal a culinary adventure. Their pasta dishes are a highlight, with perfectly al dente noodles and delectable sauces that leave your taste buds dancing with delight. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and the pizzas are a work of art, with thin, crispy crusts and mouthwatering toppings that satisfy even the most discerning pizza connoisseurs. One must-try item is their signature Serafina Salad, a refreshing medley of greens, vegetables, and cheese that is simply divine. And don't forget to explore their extensive wine list, which offers the perfect pairing for every dish. The service at Serafina is impeccable. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, making you feel like a cherished guest from the moment you arrive. They are more than willing to accommodate dietary preferences and provide recommendations to enhance your dining experience.

    we sat at the corner table on street in tent .. we watched 3 different people trip and fall to the ground on the little hump in the sidewalk. i know that's the city 's problem but it was very disturbing to watch .. two other table were as alarmed as we were. i would, at the very least, paint or tape caution stripes across that .. it was awful to watch.

    We ate at Serafina for an early dinner after a Sunday matinee. We were greeted warmly by the hostess, seated right away, and then within a few minutes the waiter greeted us and took our drink orders. When it came time to order, the waiter was helpful and informative when we had a question. He was attentive, but didn't rush us at all. The food was all excellent and portions were generous. We had a spinach salad with goat cheese and an arugula salad with a fig dressing to start. Then we had lasagna, rigatoni bolognese, and cacio e pepe. All arrived hot, tasty, and al dente. For dessert we shared tiramisu, profiteroles, and the ricotta cheesecake, which was exceptional! At the end of the evening, the waiter offered to take a picture to help commemorate the event. It was such a wonderful evening, the perfect end to a fun afternoon in NYC.

    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.

    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.
