Serafina Osteria

If you like seafood and ravioli, I highly recommend the lobster ravioli. It’s not always on the menu but they can make it in the kitchen. The portion is small even for someone petite like me (so is the restroom). Definitely order appetizer or you would leave hungry!

Dear Lord this was amazing. I highly recommend the Pennette stolichnaya. I only wish the servings were bigger. Gets a little crowded at dinnertime.

If I could leave no stars, I would. It was all so very wrong… starting with the Hostess who in a completely empty restaurant except for one table decides to sit us right next to said table. When in a very pleasant way I asked if we could sit in the corner to have more privacy since the restaurant was empty which she said was fine.
While we were waiting for our entrees (the appetizers sucked), a loud party of 4 came in and wouldn’t you know… the hostess decides to seat them right next to us… mind you, the other party had already left, so the restaurant was again completely empty besides my husband & I and the newly boisterous table seated right next to us ordering a round of cocktails. Seriously, the entire place is freaking empty… why are you sitting them on top of us after we told you we preferred a little quiet and intimacy?
Now I haven’t mentioned… I was trying to overcome a migraine from not eating all day or I wouldn’t have been so sensitive to all the noise and would actually find the lack of the hostess skills quite comical or at least ponder to myself if I had stolen her boyfriend in a past lifetime to deserve this type of treatment. At any rate, we just decided to take our food to go & have our «intimate» dinner at home.
As we were taking our first bite of our overly priced pasta dishes on our couch as our tummies were growling, we both looked at each other in utter disgust. The dishes were totally inedible… just GROSS! One hundred beans flushed down the toilet along with both of our entrees… WOMP WOMP!

Wonderful find! Food was great and service was exceptional. Everyone loved their meal.

Very cozy and great food! Our server was very friendly and everything was fast. We order a pasta dish with garlic and olive oil and it was exquisite! I will definitely go back ;)

Below average food. Given the Italian choices in the city. I was quite surprised that the food was so tasteless. The bread was hard not fresh. The lobster fettuccini & the vegetarian pasta was something once could have made at home. Service was decent.

Not sure if this actually deserves 5 stars since I so rarely give them, but this quaint little italian restaurant made my two friends and I very happy — everyone devoured their meal. I got the dish with the mango in it and it was an unexpected delight. Plus I got the best crepes I think I’ve ever had.

Lovely restaurant. The lemon and cream spaghetti was phenomenal. The desserts are delicious. This place never fails.

Tried this place with my fiancée for dinner. Food here was okay, highlight is their pasta sauce which have unique taste and is better than average Italian resturant’s offer. However, two big minus prevents me from give it 3 star:
1. The appetizer bread was cold and hard indicating it is not so fresh (I know it’s free but come on… it is not Baguette okay)
2. 20% tips automatically included in the bill. Kinda felt offended, plus 20% is too much for their just okay service
Hope they can do better in the future

Mediocre at best. Service was terrible. Our waiter ran through the specials without even engaging us. I had to ask for bread 3 separate times before he brought it over (without olive oil). Then had to ask for olive oil. I gave my credit card and he was gone for 20 minutes while we waited for the check. I had to signal him twice and it looked like all the wait staff was crowded around some television in the back. Terrible!!! Especially, when the food was next to average — only good thing was the buratta. Underwhelming experience and will not be coming back.

This place was great. The food tasted incredibly fresh. Ate here twice on this trip. Each time better than the previous.
Highly recommend the seafood pasta with squid ink pasta. Amazing. It was a special so don’t know if they have it all the time but if they do, definitely order it. The stolichinikoya pasta was also delicious Ali g with the artichoke appetizer. The cheese on the appetizer was so fresh. Just delicious.
I would definitely return in a heartbeat

Wonderful post TKC graduation lunch. We enjoyed everything, but the tomatoes were the best. Super fresh!

Was disappointed with automatic gratuity of 20%(16 $). You need to ask for olive oil and balsamic vinegar while you wait for your bread…. bill come up 50 $ pp shared starter, main and glass of wine. I bit expensive, would not go again. Food was good actually.

Rude waiters.
Tip was not over 20%, waiter picked up the check, looked, turned right around and started glaring. Tried giving the check back.

Our group of 7 were amazed, such a small kitchen — how do they do it? Small restaurant, but big taste. We had lamb, seafood linguini with a spicy red sauce, halibut. Dessert was Tiramisu and nutella crepes, all of us kept saying «wow». Pasta is home made, Tiramisu was heavenly light.

Offshoot of the normal Serafina restaurants. Very small location. Good food but unfortunately they don’t have pizza at this location. Somewhat of an abbreviated menu from the normal location. I prefer going to one of the other Serafina locations, but still a good spot for a pasta.

Had the best gourmet pasta with black truffle here, and it’s the BEST!

Very good Italian food, my husband and I both had pasta with different tomato cream sauces and my son had plain pasta. My don tried my tomato cream, bacon, vodka sauce and loved it. This isn’t a totally kid friendly place– we had the only kid in here at lunch. We would come back again, it’s pretty authentic

Handled 8 people off the street for a late lunch smoothly, Food was served quickly and each plate was adequate in quantity and quality. Price was reasonable considering location. Would recommend, would go back.
The Lobster salad appetizer is highly recommended.

I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Serafina!
I can’t say enough positive things about this restaurant. Food was excellent, and some of the best Italian food I had recently.
I had the Fettuccine All’ Aragosta and it was just delicious. The lobster and the fettuccine went perfectly together. My wife had a pasta dish with shrimp and it was even better than mine (yes, I was jealous).
For dessert, we had the Crêpes Alla Nutella With Grand Marnier and it was amazing!!! Very different variation of a crêpe, but I couldn’t get enough of it. I want to go back just for that.
I really liked Serafina, and I’m glad we decided to try it. Can’t wait to go back.
