The service was quick and the staff was friendly, nothing extra but they got the job done. Price-wise, it felt reasonable for what you get. The pizza itself was really good crispy crust, good sauce-to-cheese ratio, and just overall satisfying. Overall, it's a solid spot when you want a good, no-fuss pizza.

It was well worth the wait!!!…read more My son wanted pizza and my wife and I wanted to walk around Old San Juan. This was the most popular pizza spot with the highest reviews. A brief aside: If you're driving here, expect a mess. Coming from SoCal, we make forays into DTLA and deal with similar stresses -- one way streets everywhere, dense traffic, extremely limited parking, pedestrians everywhere (many intoxicated and stumbling into traffic), potholes/construction, police closing lanes without reason, and stray cats running through the streets. Ubering here may be worthwhile! We had a 45 min wait, likely exacerbated by Spring break in PR. We used our free time to walk Calle de la Fortaleza -- very beautiful. They called my cell phone when the table was ready (don't forget to turn off your Spam blocker!). The interior is very unique and the place was buzzing. Service was slow, even by PR standards, and our waitress was the worst in the restaurant. She said little, brought us bottled water when we asked for tap, and never came back to check on us. We flagged other waiters for other incidentals like napkins and for our bill. The garlic knots and pizza were great. The pepperoni pizza was 10/10, with a fluffy crust but crispy otherwise. The Margherita pizza was average -- the tomato was sliced too thick and undercooked and the dough was soggy. In spite of some hiccups, the place was really good and I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that a second trip would be better -- other tables had good service and the other waiters were very helpful. I'm still not sure if we were give bottled water because we were gringo tourists and they figured they'd up charge us or if it was an honest mistake.

The garlic bread was fine, not as good as the arancini. If you are hungry, get the chicken parm, my god it is the largest portion I have ever seen! I ate one of the 3 cutlets they served. Most times when a place gives a ton of food it is ok, well this was fabulous. Super thin, light breading that remained crispy and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The pizza was good as well. For dessert we had a well portioned flowerless chocolate cake which was paired with some vanilla bean ice cream. Divine! We sat in the restaurant portion near the secret door to the speakeasy so take your pick on what vibe you prefer. The wait staff were super helpful and responsive. We bought the kitchen staff a round for fun. Great experience, I recommend swinging by if you are in the neighborhood.

The arancini was really good and had a nice kick to it. The pizza really hit the spot, although the sauce needed some flavor, even if it was just a bit more salt. Nevertheless, it was a solid pizza! They also have a nice beer/wine selection with some local offerings. We arrived for dinner without a reservation and although the restaurant was mostly full, we were table to get a table. They do have bar seating which we would have been happy with as well. It's casual in there, but still elevated. Definitely worth a try if you're craving some pizza!

Amazing Experience at Serafina!…read more I'm visiting Puerto Rico for the first time and staying at La Concha Resort, and Serafina truly made my trip even more special. Last night around 10:20 PM, I ordered the pesto gnocchi to my room and was so impressed the food arrived incredibly fast, perfectly hot, and absolutely delicious. I loved it so much that I came back today! This time I tried the Arugula Parmigiano salad and the passion fruit mojito. Everything was so fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. The service, the taste, and the overall experience were exceptional. Highly recommend Serafina to anyone visiting San Juan I can't wait to come back!

The place still look very fancy, but I've been fancier places... First, it is definitely on the pricey side. We ordered three pastas, three appetizers, three drinks, and 2 Fiji waters bottles -- and were also charged for the birthday cake. The total came out to almost $400, service fee of $50! which was surprising. While the staff was amazing, attentive, and very kind (I truly have no complaints about the service), the food unfortunately didn't match the price point. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable or worth what we paid. Overall, great service -- but for the cost, I expected more from the food. Also be prepared cause they took over two hours to bring the food out and I had reservations as well

I got the bill, paid it, and added a $30 tip on a $30 dollar check; but for whatever reason the transaction timed out because I must have missed the button to complete the trransaction. I asked the person who was serving me to reset the machine so I could pay again and re-add the tip. I put my card in the machine, and the lady who was serving me took the cc machine and clicked 30% for the tip and handed the cc machine back to me as if I was stupid and did not know what she did. What made it worse was some dude came up to me and tried to tell me that is what the business does, right after I had seen the screen and options prior as if that was their policy. As one who has been in tech and the restaurant business for many years, I could not believe they were tying to pretend that it was ok.. It was crazy because she would have made more money off of me, let alone my friends for the rest of the week. It was SHADY that she would do that. Enjoy the pizza and enjoy the service...but be CAREFULL when you pay becausse they will CHEAT you. I never write negative reviews, but in this case I could not let it go. Cuidado!!! Be carefull!!!

We ordered a bottle of Fiano (a wine we really enjoy and was on the menu). They didn't have it. We settled for Chardonnay. It was good. We asked for bread. They didn't have any!!! (What? An Italian restaurant with no bread?) not a great start. Having said all that, the rest for our food was amazing! The arancini and the eggplant were exquisite. I ordered the steak (yeah I know) but it was amazing. The sauce, the potatoes. Just delicious. Our guests had the lasagna and my husband ordered the pizza. They were very satisfied with their meals. The ambiance is quaint. Old Italian. Clean. I would train servers to know what's available and what's not. Prevent from ordering and being disappointed. In addition, if you don't have bread and make pizza, you have bread. You can make it out of pizza dough in a pinch for those who ask. Italian red sauce without bread... it's a big miss. If your equipment is broken, buy the bread. I think they should have given us the dessert based on the misses. Nonetheless, the entrees were very good.
