   We requested outdoors, for party of 4, and the patio was delightful. Shade under a trellis, nice separation from other diners, ambiance reminded our out-of-town guests of their time in Rio de Janeiro. Everything we tried was simply delicious. Service was stellar, helpful without hovering. Interesting flavor combinations: our waiter recommended the burrata appetizer with fresh grilled peaches, balsamic vinegar, pistachios and pickled onions. Yes. We also had a delicious meatball appetizer, and 3 different pasta entries, each cooked to perfection. Excellent mild Venetian chardonnay. For dessert the canoli was especially tasty. Enjoy a relaxed evening, and satisfy your taste buds, your stomach, and your spirit. . .

   What an enjoyable experience? Great accommodations and service. Food service was excellent—and presentation was top shelf. Each item was explained as served to the table Michelin-quality. Highly recommend for business or casual dining. Away from the tourist hustle downtown as well.

   Overhyped and not worth it. Had a dinner reservation and the hostess barely acknowledged us. We got put at a table next to the entrace of the restrooms. Did we get profiled because we're Asian and the clientele for this restaurant was mostly White? The place was also too dark, quite hot (no A/C?), and loud inside which added to my generally bad feelings about this place. Service was slow and main dishes took ~45 mins to arrive after appetizers. Worst of all these things, the food itself was a disappointment. I won't even bother going through the pathetic appetizers we received, but for mains, we ordered the casarecce with duck confit andthe squid ink spaghetti. These are their most popular dishes according to Yelp. Both were bland and not much too them for the price. Overall, had a horrible time. Not coming back. I can recommend several awesome American/Italian restaurants that are more worth your time: Spinasse, Artusi, Haymaker, Autumn, Carrello...even Tavolàta is a step up.

   Many dishes we had at our table of four were delicious. Certainly Serafina is an institution . But don’t order the squid ink pasta. Who needs a scrawny amount of shrimp and a giant pile of no-taste black pasta? Everything else was great

   We had a lovely meal on the pack patio at Serafina. The burrata starter was delicious as were our entrees. The patio is beautiful and had a great sunshade to block the setting sun. Would definitely return for another date night.

   Food was delicous and fresh! A great restaurant for a date night or an evening with friends where you can actually talk. That being said, limited vegan and gluten free options + charged a cake cutting fee. I wish they had been more upfront about that given I had indicated this was for a celebration.

   Ah-maz-ing! Food was out of this world delicious. Staff was attentive and accommodating. 10 out of 10 will return. Great neighborhood restaurant. Perfect for a special occasion or date night. Two of us had: Bruschetta Chickpea purée, preserved citrus, pistachio sesame dukkah • green olive tapenade, Mama Lil’s peppers • smoked fish, caper-dill aioli • house bread, Polpo Braised octopus, fregola sarda, tomato, currant, anchovy, pine nut, caperberry, pangrattato for appetizers…. Gnudi English pea, ricotta, foraged mushroom, Marsala crema, fines herbes full portion and king salmon (not on the online menu but it was fantastic) Plus drinks which were equally as good as the food. Thanks for a great night out!

    The food is both delicious and very creative! We've been to Serafina one time before and were impressed with the quality of the food, the inventiveness, the ambiance, the really great wait staff. So we went there again for our Saturday date night, and Serafina did not disappoint! I have the rigatoni which was done to perfection and my husband had the salmon ravioli, also delicious! And everything was served (we had appetizers too) at the right time--not too soon or come altogether with our main meal! And our server didn't hover, checking with us every two seconds. He would stop by periodically and that was it! So we were able to enjoy our dinner pretty much uninterrupted! This place is now our go-to date night place for sure! Go! You won't be disappointed!

    Sat at the bar. The bartender took our order. I asked for a modification to a dish. When it came it lacked some of the constituents. I asked for them, politely. When they came, they were presented by a manager who said that I asked to speak to him. I had not. My interpretation is that the bartender took offense in some way, and instead of bringing the items herself chose to present me as a problem to the manager. I was properly offended. I will not go back.

    This was our special anniversary dinner. Unfortunately, our reservation was at same time as a large party, which slowed our entree delivery. Our server and the manager made it right. We had the perfect seat for an extended dinner, so the situation could have been worse. The food and wine were all 5 stars. The staff obviously was stretched thin and management doing best to bounce back from pandemic difficulties. We’ll be back.

    Awesome food—bruschetta, gnudi, salads, yum!! Gigondas wine was spectacular, too. Our family/extended family had a blast. It’s a lively, but intimate space—almost feels like Italy :-) Service was good, but not warm and fuzzy :-)

    Loved the place. Nice bar and very good bartender. Cocktail menu had nice selections and the bar was well stocked. The food was excellent and the manager and wait staff were really attentive. The menu had a lot of choices. We had several appetizers for the table to share and everyone loved them. Stuffed dates, bruschetta, burrata and the ravanello salad. The pastas were very good. Tried the squid ink spaghetti and the duck confit pastas. Loved them. We finished with the pork tenderloin and pork belly entree and it was delicious. Wine list was very good and as expected Italian wine focused. Had 2 bottles recommended by staff and both were great. They didn’t try to push the more expensive wines on us. They recommended what they liked and both were great.

    our family had birthday dinner on 7/12 for my wife. To start, the server accidentally spilled one of appetizers asparagi on me by accident which was not a big deal. Then my wife ordered one of daily specials that had chorizo in the dish and it was so salty she had difficult time finishing it and I didn't bother to tell the wait staff which was a mistake. Then after finishing entrée, one of bussers came and asked if he can pull, or reposition the table so people can have an easier access to other tables, which was rude. It got so busy we felt like the server lost track of us and we decided to leave. We didn't enjoy our dinner, and it ruined my wife's 53rd birthday dinner, we will never visit this restaurant again.
