Great restaurant in Seaport! Pretty large seating area and a very large bar. The floor to ceiling windows allow for great people watching and scenic viewing. SERVICE: Very friendly staff. The hosts at the front were very accommodating as I was a bit early for my reservation. They got me seated right away. My server was friendly and attentive. FOOD: First time here but felt like I was near water, so tuna tartare felt appropriate and - Italian place - so Pizza! They were both Fabulous!! Great Seaport restaurant - great food - go give them a try. read more

Came here last night. Sat at the bar to have a meal and watch the remaining part of Brazil vs Haiti game. Ordered: - Bruschetta: 3.5/5 (was a bit bland) - Carbonara: 4.5/5 - Side of spinach: never got it, had to remind the person (Walter) I placed my order with about this. By then I was already eating. When it arrived, no garlic or seasoning. Just steamed spinach. I brought it to his attention, and said by the time I get another spinach order done correctly this time, I'll be done eating. So I asked for the dessert menu. Ordered my dessert and then another order of spinach came (smelled as if it was cooked properly this time, but what was the point). Sent it back. - Crème Brûlée: 5/5 Service was average. Nothing exceptional. Attention to detail needs working. read more

4.5 stars from me!! We are outside which was lovely and peaceful; by contrast, even on a Wednesday night, the inside was really loud and crowded. I would love to come back and eat outside but I wouldn't come to eat inside, less I decide to welcome overstimulation. I got the penne alla vodka (substituted rigatoni, though, since it's the superior pasta shape) and it was quite delicious! Portion was about average-- filling, but not nearly enough to have leftovers (which I do love at a pasta place). It's a little pricy but worth it for the day we had and the train we needed to catch from South Station. Service was good; our waitress was really nice. I'll be back :)) read more

Gigantic place with very friendly service. They had a great drink menu with creative and very different cocktails. Every guest enjoyed their drinks: kiss of Eden was our favorite, espresso martini is a little bitter. Food we ordered: -Calamari: 5/5, great squid to pepper ratio, sauce wasn't too spicy -Bruschetta: 5/5, honestly some of the best I've had- I loved the gigantic crispy bread boats -Truffle fries: 3/5, needed to be crispier and the aioli was okay -Lobster ravioli 3/5: I think it has a hint of pumpkin in it which was cool, but I've definitely had better at other restaurants -Margarita Pizza 3/5: Good size to split, wish it was a tad crispier -Di Cesare: 2.5/5, boring -Ragu: 5/5, ricotta was a great touch and it was a great portion -Lava cake: 3.8/5, whipped cream had no flavor but the cake and ice cream were delicious, wish the cake was bigger it was tiny. We would definitely come back here again!! read more

The appetizers here are good, I really liked the octopus and the fries smelled and tasted great and it was great portion size for a large group. I got the short rib pasta which tasted fine but not super stand outish. A friend ordered the branzino though which I would recommend. This was my first time but maybe family style would be best here? I would love to try a bit of each. Everything was appetizing and a great place for a team dinner. But not a place I would frequent read more

Outrageously expensive for the quality of food and overall experience. It's such a shame because the restaurant itself is beautiful and has so much potential. I ordered the vodka pasta with grilled chicken, and there were barely two small pieces of chicken in the entire dish. The pasta was extremely dry, as if it had little to no sauce at all. Overall it was a very disappointing dining experience and I would not recommend it. read more

The food here was delicious! The bread that came to the table was moist and melted in my mouth. I came here with my husband and two other friends after seeing the Tall Ships in this area (until Wednesday) and we all had great food meals. We shared a brushetta and calamari that was sweet and cooked very well. We each enjoyed our entrees and took some home to enjoy later too. Our waiter was serving many tables around us but he made sure we had everything we needed from the drinks to helping with questions we had about the foods we wanted to order. He even made sure that our meals were to our liking as well after the meals arrived. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable and they made sure we did not have to wait long since our arrival time (which we were there a little early) for our reservation time was not yet ready. Was our first visit but if you come to sit to eat at the Seaport for a meal always have a reservation due to places fill up quickly and wait times to sit become very long. read more

Everything was fantastic. We had the private dining area for 18 people. The staff was very attentive and took our drink order straight away. Not long after they brought over all of our appetizers. The menu was quite extensive, lots of great options to choose from. The lobster ravioli was very good. You can also add extra lobster on top, which I did. Huge chunks of lobster. Very filling. We also enjoyed a round of after dinner drinks. Staff was extremely polite and attentive. I'll have to check out the Serafina closer to my house, because my experience here was 10/10! Loved the private dining room with videos of Italy on the screen in the backdrop too! read more

I had dinner at Serafina Seaport with a party of 10, and the experience was a mix. The calamari and mussels were amazing, honestly the highlight of the night. My main dish, the bolognese, was decent but nothing to rave about. It definitely needed more sauce. For the price point, I expected better. I dine out often and spend well, so I noticed right away that even something as simple as the water felt overpriced, a small that I would usually pay the same for a large elsewhere. Service was decent, but I was a little annoyed that the server did not write down who ordered what. Instead, food came out with the staff announcing and guessing at the table. With a party of 10, that just feels sloppy. If I return, it will be solely for the mussels. read more

Serafina Seaport - Dry Rigatoni Alla Bolognese - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It's a beautiful atmosphere me and my friends sat at the bar, we got there before the rush, so it wasn't too busy, but it was also hard to get our orders going even for drinks. They're sparkling water is probably one of the best I've had and they're mimosas are to die for me and my friends split the carbonara which was really good. Unfortunately, we also split a ricotta pizza that was not cooked all the way through super doughy in the middle with crunchy edges in zero flavor. The weight staff was just okay nothing spectacular. It was a good restaurant to go on a whim, but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

We ordered the Cioppino by the waiter's recommendation and the Melanzane parmigiana. The cioppino didn't have nearly as much seafood as we were hoping for, it was mostly the tomatoes and broth. The eggplant parm was tasty but heavy on the cheese. We had stopped by for a chat, less so for the food- but if I were to return I would try the pasta for sure. Service was attentive, we sat on the patio and didn't feel forgotten about :) read more

Read a great seat on the street. The weather was beautiful. The server was fantastic. The drinks were phenomenal. I got the Paloma while my husband got the Evergreen. We were just stopping for a snack and a drink so we had the tuna tart. I kind of wish that they cut the tuna a little bit smaller and marinated it a little longer so it was a little more flavorful and easier to get a lot on a chip, but everything was tasty. We would go back for sure read more

The vodka pasta was tasteless, and the entire experience was almost like eating wet, flavorless mac and cheese. The dish lacked seasoning, depth, and the rich, creamy tomato flavor I expected from vodka pasta. Overall, it was very disappointing and not something I would order again. read more

Stopped in for a cocktail and the staff blew me away with their service. We sat next to a couple of locals and they were talking about one of their favorite drinks they have had from Serafina. The bartenders made that drink for us, even though it was not currently listed on the menu. And let me say - it was absolutely delicious! This is the perfect spot for date night, grabbing drinks with the girls, or starting/ending the night. It offers high class vibes, that has enough going on to avoid any awkward silences, but not so loud you can't hear the person sitting next to you. The restaurant also closes at midnight, so no fear of staying later than you'd originally plan. Being a short walk away from the harbor offers the opportunity for a quick walk to see the amazing views too. read more

This was the worst service I've received in Boston in my life! Catalina was our waitress. She was training. The restaurant was no where near busy. And yet we saw her all of 4 times. Waited 10min for her to even come over to us. She didn't offer to take order until after appetizer was completely eaten. She didn't come over again to offer drink refills. She didn't come over until 10min after meal was served, and finally offered a refill on my beer. The food was very good which is the reason for 2 stars instead of 1. We won't return to try again. If this is their trainer, I can't imagine the other staff is much better. read more

I enjoyed my brunch at Serafina! I have wanted to try this place for a while. I ordered the Shakshuka - it was very flavorful and well spiced, and it tasted fresh. I also liked the twist with the added olives. The ambience of this place is beautiful - the decor is pretty and the vibe feels very comforting and casual while also chic. The servers are very friendly too. Also, I had put in the reservation that it was my dad's birthday, and they got us a complimentary birthday dessert, which was a pleasant surprise. My dad said his dessert tasted great. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience! read more

We always eat at the bar because we love to watch the Sox as we eat the best gluten free pizza in Boston. I have spent a small fortune on their spicy margs and I'm obsessed with the buttery, rich, garlic drenched alfredo that isn't on the menu but definitely on the POS ipad. The bar staff is incredible and even when there are tables available, we still opt for the bar. If you want a MCM spot with the warm lighting, delicious pasta, and cocktails made from local beloved bartenders, Serafina is the spot. The only tip I would give is to pace yourself because the food is legitimately rich. I've had friends underestimate the strength of the cocktails bc they're so tasty and then struggle with being able to handle the succulent dishes. You've been warned! read more

I could not say one bad thing about this place the food the service all top notch had a great experience here

I loved the ease of eating here. The menu is large and has something for everyone. Vegetarians- get the spaghetti but ask to add veggies. The kids loved the menu and the bread they give. My favorite was the pasta carbonara- enough to share for sure. Didn't try dessert but the location and service were excellent. After eating take a stroll over to fan pier - it's stunning. The ambiance is good - dont have to dress up but certainly can. Overall a good spot if youre in the Seaport area. read more

Serafina Seaport - Pasta carbonara- so good! - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Got lucky and was seated immediately without a reservation on a Wednesday 6:30pm evening. Water was served promptly and our server came to take our order within the first 10 min. Nothing was bad about the service, but nothing stood out. Unfortunately, I have to say the same about the food. We ordered a basic salad with seared tuna (lettuce with shaves carrots and a few spices of cucumber and tomato), the spaghetti squash dish, gnocchi with meatballs (gnocchi was gummy ), and orecchiette pasta with sausage. For the price, I expected more; however, I guess you're also paying for ambiance/location, and atmosphere. Not bad but in my opinion, not great. read more

The restaurant is gorgeous, clean, plenty of room for a large party etc. I came here with my sister who enjoyed the lemon ricotta pancakes. I however am someone with celiac disease and I found the brunch menu very very limited. The staff was so kind and did point out 2 options I could have for breakfast. They make gluten free pizza and pasta here but I was here for brunch and was really hoping to be able to have one of the eggs Benedict. But they don't have any gluten free bread. The hash browns are also not celiac safe as they're fried in a shared fryer. If there were just some gluten free options like pancakes, avocado toast, a breakfast hash etc, it would be amazing. Again, the staff did their best. I just think in 2025 that some gluten free bread should at least be available. read more

We came here for a 10-15 person team dinner while at a conference and it was perfect. They accommodated food allergies and had vegetarian options. I had the chicken Milanese which was incredible. I'm still thinking about it three days later. The arancini was a great starter as well. I definitely recommend this place if you have a large party and want a great meal. read more

Serafina Seaport - Rigatoni Alla Bolognese, Grilled Asparagus - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Stopped in here for luncheon with fam friends from out of town. If you search a bit you can get street parking or else there is also a Parking garage around the corner. The space is setup with long booths and chairs on the opposing side of the table. Our service was good, they checked on us regularly and brought our food out around the same time. We opted for couple drinks, the pizzas was a must since they have the open oven right there in the kitchen that you can see. I personally opted for the carbonara pasta with grilled chicken, the bowl came out and may have looked small but it was in fact mighty, i was so full after finishing it. The right al dente pasta, sauce was creamy and salty with the bacon bits and chicken was NOT dry! Yippee! The pizza i tried was the sausage based one, it's not spicy but it had good flavor, good crust and it was a lighter (not heavy feeling after eating pizza). Good friends good convos, plenty of space. Will be back thank you! Oh the burgers were a hit off the brunch menu, medium cooked, definitely shareable. It's a full plate with home fries. read more

Good food and great service. We have a reservation but were able to get seated at the bar right away, if it were a bit busier, we may have had to wait. Once seated service was prompt and friendly, not once did we wait too long. We started with the Burrata Tomato e Prosciutto and a side of Focaccia di Sofia. The tomatoes and mozzarella were fresh and flavorful, and the focaccia struck the perfect balance of fluffy and salty which complimented the oil and burrata. For our main courses I got the Lobster Ravioli which was served in a rich and delicious bisque. My spouse got the Ravioli al Tartufo Nero, which packed layers of earthy, complex truffle flavor. I would have kept eating if I weren't stuffed. read more

Amazing food! I came here for my friend's birthday and had a blast-- there were about 8 of us, the service was a bit slow to begin with but then leveled out as the night went on. I am a Serafina Back Bay regular, but this was my first time in the Seaport location. The location is not very convenient-- no parking and far from public transportation, but the food makes the trek worth it. I ordered the chicken parmigiana, my favorite at Italian restaurants, and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade sauce was to die for, and the cheese was generous on the chicken, it was so good. The pasta was good but slightly (subjectively) overcooked, it would have been perfect Al Dente. Overall, 5/5 stars for food, though. I'll be back! read more

Not the best, but I'd definitely go back. Thanks for a great experience, Serafina!!! read more

A wonderful evening for my daughter's16th birthday. She was at a table for 8 in a semi-private space, and my husband and I were at another table nearby. Both tables had Jhoan as our waiter and he was the best! Great service, even came and got us when they were bringing a birthday dessert to my daughter so we could join in. He served the food at a nice pace so we could enjoy the meal. As always, the food was delicious and all the staff were warm and helpful, including the staff we spoke to for the reservations. A great place to eat delicious food with everything including great pasta options, pizzas, salads, burgers and a great lava cake for dessert. read more

I ordered take out. I asked that the chicken and lettuce be packed separately so that the lettuce did not get soggy and that the dressing was put on the side.

Bread was so yummy! Drinks were good and had a cute ambiance to the way they were served. Food was delicious! Service was good. Only reason I can't give 5 stars was because my penna alla vodka definitely needed more sauce. That's the best part of that kind of dish. Side note- I got crispy chicken in my pasta that was cooked great! I would return and maybe next time ask for extra sauce if I got a dish with sauce read more

Came here for brunch with girlfriends recently and we had a lovely time. The restaurant itself is stunning, large booths, beautiful bar. We had tons of food as we all got apps and entrees and food was served at a good pace and waiter always made sure the drinks were flowing. I had a mimosa and a mocktail (I'm a lightweight) and both were fantastic. Apps were perfect, the whipped ricotta with fig was such a perfect starter, it's shareable and had a generous amount of dip. The short rib arancini was perfectly fried, super savory, I could have eaten them all. We got the truffle pizza to share and it was incredible, somehow not too rich despite the generous truffle amount l. I had the tiramisu French toast, it tasted just like the dessert and is served with melted chocolate and maple syrup, the syrup honestly wasn't even necessary as the dish was not dry at all and already was pretty sweet. Definitely want to come back and try dinner, I'm sure their pastas are amazing. read more
