Very good place to take the boss

by Caroline L at Citysearch

My boss is in town from New York. She is a foodie and a fun person, but also a skeptic. She hired me though which means she can be to skeptical. We had a chance to stop for dinner and chose Serafina. It was very nice. The food was delicious, presented and garnished very nicely.

It was a little bit cold in the restaurant, but we were toward the front and there was a fair amount of traffic in and out. Overall we had a great dinner and were pleasantly surprised. Our server was perhaps the nicest person that I have spoken with today.

I will go back any time with anyone and feel confident if they do as well as they did tonight.

Super Date Spot

I went on a first date at Serafina and had a wonderful experience. The decor and lighting made for the perfect romantic setting. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly; she made a recommendation on a great Merlot that paired well with our dinners. I love Italian food and Serafina didn't disappoint. I will be back!

Superior food and service.

Serafina has soooo many great reviews, to see a negative one at the top spurred my need to write an accurate rebuttal.

I have been going here for years, and it's a great place to take a date.

If you're a vegetarian go somewhere else like Carmelita. Why even risk your evening by risking going to a place that serves meat?

Anyways, it's a fantastic place with a great romantic atmosphere.

Huge Disappointment

by carie13 at Citysearch

I'd heard many good things about Serafina and had been looking forward to going for a while. However, I didn't think to check the menu beforehand for vegetarian options since it's an Italian restaurant! After waiting 45 minutes for a table, I found I had a disappointing two choices. Really, Serafina? You can't come up with more than two pasta dishes that are vegetarian?

I ordered the asparagus ravioli since the servers were so busy that we were going on an hour since we arrived and with was incredibly bland and uninteresting. It was served in a pool of what tasted and appeared to be the water the asparagus was cooked in - literally mildly flavored water.

My guest commented that the rabbit was ok, but for the price and wait, I'll stick with Crow and Lola. They also have limited veg options, but that's at least expected for their type of food and their entrees actually taste good.

Lunch al Fresco

by Deconstruct at Citysearch

Lunch on their patio yesterday was perfect. Loved the fresh strawberry cheescake and that they were willing to split a glasspour of wine to pair with it!

• Pros: great patio, large menu variety, excellent drinks and wine
• Cons: pricey for lunch
