Lovely place. Only had a few meals here; off our beaten path. Elegant decor, friendly staff. Flavors are top notch and the cocktail menu is outstanding. Maybe just the night we went, but the bartender really seemed on his A game. Happy to recommend. Plan to visit more often. read more

Amazing place and ambience. Each and every dish we ordered was spot on and delicious. We came here for my friend's birthday. We were able to find a reservation for 4 people for Friday. Special mention to the affagato that my friend loved. All the pastas we ordered were amazing as well as the burrata and the salad. read more

I've been meaning to review this restaurant since we've eaten there three times now. Each time has been a memorable evening for all the right reasons. As places have reopened after the shutdown many have been uneven. I would never fault them for that as we all know how difficult everything is these days. Serafina seems to have discovered the secret though. The service is even, timely and polite. Just enough banter one conversation to display genuine interest in your experience there yet not so much as to try to become the experience. Even in the best times many restaurants get this wrong. The menu is fairly diverse and we have enjoyed most of the proteins. The steak is served perfectly prepared and with ample portion of fingerling potatoes and green beans when we were there. The anchovie butter adding just the right amount of decadence. Their take on Bruschetta is fun, toasted slices of French bread with toppings you can add yourself. The Smoked Salmon and the house made hummus with pistachio were great. At the end of the evening, desert was awesome with a decadent flourless chocolate cake and a bit of gelato. All and all, in three visits and after trying many entrees and starters it's a firm yes from us.. oh, and I never even mentioned the salads.. pickled grapes? Omg! read more

Came here with my mom for dinner! This is one of my mom's favorite places to come to lunch, and my first time coming to this restaurant. The overall experience was good with delicious food. The host took my jacket and our waiter began taking our drink orders almost immediately. It was dinner and it felt a little cramped with spacing however my mom reassured me that the atmosphere during lunch is better. Although it felt a little cramped, all of those thoughts quickly disappeared as soon as I took one bite of the food. -------------- What we ordered: Cozze: Mussels, smoked tomato, harissa, and sweet vermouth. Polpo: Braised octopus, fregola sardo, finocchiona, peperonata, parsley, and smoked chili emulsion. Rigatoni Bolognese: Anderson Ranch lamb, fennel sausage, marjoram, and Pecorino. Lasagna: Lamb-pork ragu, béchamel, ricotta, and Grana Padano. Agnolotti dal Plin: Duck confit, sage butter, roasted chestnut, and balsamico. Latticello: Buttermilk cake, coffee mousse, marsala, amaretto caramel, orange, pomegranate, and espresso tuile. Nocciola: Chocolate hazelnut tart, strawberry sauce, and hazelnut praline semifreddo. Affogato: Vanilla gelato and Illy espresso. -------------- The highlights of the meal: Cozze, Rigatoni, Agnolotti dal Plin, and Latticello. Overall delicious food, even the house-infused oil that you dip your bread into was so savory! I had high hopes for the lasagna however it was a little too salty and lacked structure, I was going to say something to the waiter but we finished the lasagna nonetheless. The Cozze was so delightful, the smokiness of the mussels, the flavors of the rich broth, the bread we already had on the table was the perfect match to help soak up the broth, in fact we liked it so much we ended up ordering more bread to go with the broth (we didn't order the grilled bread $3 to the Cozze because we already had bread on the table). Frankly, although we got this dish as an appetizer, I wouldn't mind eating it as an entree... The Rigatoni... My only complaint is that I wish I had more! The rigatoni was cooked al dente and the Bolognese sauce was absolutely perfect for the rigatoni. The Agnolotti was so cute and tasty. The rich flavors from the duck confit and roasted chestnut were the perfect pair with the sage and balsamic vinegar. The sage really brought out all of the flavors in ways I never imagined, this dish inspired me so much that I went to the store the next day to buy sage to try to make an interpretation of this very dish. Alas, I wasn't as successful and am totally okay with returning to Serafina for this dish! The Laticello. Order it. Even if you don't have room. You won't regret it. I would come back to Serafina just for this cake in fact. Imagine a tiramisu but wayyyyyyyy better!!! The combination of the soft buttermilk cake, creamy coffee mousse and hints of the marsala, amaretto caramel, orange, pomegranate, and espresso tuile are spot on. It's a rich dessert with great flavors and the orange really brings it all together full circle. Overall, great meal, will be back for lunch with my mom! read more

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Serafina this weekend. We don't get out much and were having trouble putting our toddler down and getting out the door (Don't worry - she was with a babysitter, heehee). All to say we were running late and frazzled. Serafina graciously adjusted our reservation and our server made us feel well cared for. It was a beautiful night. Thank you. read more

Wow, wow, wow. I think I would feel justified writing a billion wow's and calling it a review, because Serafina established, for me, an impeccably high standard for Italian cuisine. That said, if my billion wow's can't convince you to drop by this gem of a restaurant, please read on. From the start, the service at Serafina was wonderful. My boyfriend and I made reservations that night, and we did not experience any waits as a result. The hostess kindly took our coats without my having to ask, and the waitress was attentive to our dining experience from start to finish, describing dishes in detail with excitement and patience for the many questions we had (my boyfriend and I are both on the curious side LOL). Shoutout to Beth, who was the best waitress ever! With regards to the food, we began with the pane. The olive oil dip was unique, sprinkled with what seemed like red pepper flakes that added a delightful kick for each bite of the bread. For the mains, my boyfriend ordered the agnello, and I ordered the melanzane, both of which were phenomenal. The agnello was perfectly tender, pairing perfectly with the polenta. The melanzane, Serafina's version of eggplant parmesan, took me back to Rome with one bite. The portions for both dishes were also incredibly generous, and my boyfriend (who calls himself the "bottomless pit") had a difficult time finishing. My only qualm about Serafina is the extremely difficult parking. The only option is limited street parking, which was frustrating even for me, an L.A. transplant. That said, the parking situation is worth it. For me, really good food doesn't just satisfy your stomach or tastebuds but touches some part of you that isn't merely physical. Call me dramatic, but there are foods out there that we call "soul food" for that reason! Serafina serves up food belonging to that class, and I'm happy to say that I'll be coming back for more. read more

I regret that I must push against the grain on this one. Serafina, admittedly, ranked high on my priority list for a dinner meeting, did not come through. Not one of the five offerings ordered supplied mastication gratification during the most crucial event of my weekdays - the coveted Happy Hour timeslot. For me, Happy Hour allows time to unwind with a brewski, a couple glasses of red paired with fun, exciting nibbles as I unload the day's stress. What was on tap: Veal Meatballs with an al dente' portion of pasta, small salad composed of maybe four pieces of butter lettuce topped with pickled radish, pork belly cuts that are crispy but interior meat overcooked (I compare this to reheated Chinese roasted pig leftovers), okayish calamari, way too doughy Plin pasta (though sauce was melt in your mouth taste), and Amstel Light. Unexcited and frustrated, I left to my value minded, ace in the hole location nearby for ramen to finish out the night (Aloha Ramen). read more

Best meal since March 2020. I have been returning to in-restaurant dining slowly over the last couple of months and the experience has been uneven. Restaurants are clearly struggling to get up off the mat - every dining experience I have had to remind myself to be patient and flexible and supportive no matter how glitchy the service or over or undercooked the food may be. And then we went to Serafina. From the moment we arrived the experience was perfection. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and efficient and friendly even as we dithered in our decisions and made her come back a couple times before committing to our order. The pastas were terrific - particularly the bucatini carbonara. The broccolini antipasti was perfectly cooked and accompanied by wonderful flavors from ricotta and lemon rinds and some burnt paprika accents. The focaccia was simple but also wonderful. The bistecca and the halibut were huge hits and the flourless chocolate cake divine. Cannot recommend highly enough. We are out back on the patio on a gorgeous Seattle evening (temp in the 70s, three days removed from the heatwave of 2021 with high temps of near 110.) read more

Overall great Friday night dinner/date spot. Focaccia - good olive oil, bread super soft/good texture. 5/5. Steak was good quality meat, very good glaze/sauce, pretty good potatoes. 4/5. Lasagna was really rich and flavorful. 5/5. Server was really friendly and nice. Drinks were a little slow, and they didn't tell us about the specials, one of which we would've ordered if we had known about it. 4/5. Chocolate cake and affogato were both rich and delicious. 5/5 4% service charge for kitchen staff automatically added to bill, so was a little unsure how to tip. Does tip go to server and bartender? Drinks were good, but not great, and kind of slow to come out. 3/5. read more

A real treat. I love the homemade pasta dishes. We came for lunch on a Friday. Open doors, inviting tables, good customer service. A lovely Italian moment. The bread and garlic olive oil is a great starter. I highly recommend getting a pasta dish! read more

I absolutely love the interior of Serafina. The service was EXCEPTIONAL too. The only downside is that their parking lot is about two blocks away from the actual restaurant and I actually lost my phone on my way because it fell out of my pocket that had a hole. Bad luck, I guess. But the food was really amazing, my friend and I shared the mussel pasta (no idea what it was called) and also the pasta with red sauce. My memory is escaping me but I have photos to prove it. But seriously, their house bread with the olive oil was AMAZING. We all agreed that it was actually better than their bruschetta appetizer. The goat cheese was delish though! Overall, it was a really amazing experience and everything about it was pretty much wonderful. Prices were reasonable for upscale Italian food too. read more

Wowzers, this place is pretty dang good. My husband bought a livingsocial for the Sunday brunch. I felt kind of excited beforehand because not only do you get brunch but also get to listen to jazz music. Parking is relatively easy to find. There was plenty about a block away. When we arrived, the restaurant was very cute and quaint where you get the feeling like you're at a rustic eatery away from a big city. It was pretty crowded around 12:45 p.m. for lunch but somehow the hostess found us a seat. Unfortunately, the only table that was left was near the bathrooms. I didn't have a problem with this but the traffic next to our table was pretty heavy. A lot of people kept walking by to get to the bathroom. This was kind of annoying. But I couldn't complain because this was a rather impromptu date where we didn't book a reservation in advance. Our waiter was really nice. He gave us tips on what to order and gave us plenty of time to decide. In the meantime, he brought us a bellini carafe and a fruit plate which was part of the voucher. In addition, the waiter gave us these delicious lemon donuts that was sent over, compliments of the chef. That was a really nice touch. The donuts were perfectly delicious: dense, moist, and lemony. I ordered the braised short ribs on top of a bed of polenta. The beef melted in your mouth and the polenta was coated with this buttery sauce. The food alone was five stars. On top of it all, we enjoyed listening to some good jazz music while we had our meal. I definitely will come back to this restaurant. read more

Serafina - Cioccolata - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been dining at Serafina for 20 years and sadly will not return. My friend and I booked a table on a Tuesday night and the whole experience was off. Both the hostess and waitress were short with us and seemed annoyed that we existed. Only the bartender was friendly and welcoming. The food was OK. I ordered a $46 halibut entree that had about 2 ounces of dry halibut in it. Generally, I like the smaller portions of fine dining but that's taking it a bit far. I guess my friend and I stayed a little too long because someone started sweeping the floor at the table next to us. We ordered appetizer, entrée, dessert, multiple drinks, but felt rushed the whole time. Over $200 for the two of us. I just didn't feel that Serafina charm anymore. Fine dining is not supposed to feel like the DMV read more

we had a reservation for 8 and when we arrived the only indoor table available was right next to the bathroom so we opted for outdoor. there was a heater so it wasn't too bad, but it was a special occasion and would have been more considerate of them to have reserved us a better spot inside. the food was good, waitress was nice, and there was a parking lot within walking distance read more

We went to Serafina last night. I was hesitant because there is a chain in NY called Serafina that is kind of for tourists. This Seattle restaurant is very different, the waiter said that they are a standalone 37 years old place. We had the best bread and a wonderful salad to start. The eggplant was out of this world delicious. Our kids had the Bolognese and a Cavatelli. For desert we tried a chocolate tart with mint. Great decor with a backyard patio and great service. Wonderful place.... read more

I've been here once for dinner and once for brunch. Dinner was very good. My favorite was probably the pork belly, but the portion was pretty tiny. It was very tender and had a good flavor. We also had the eggplant, their "signature" dish, which was also very tasty, but I'd have to say I liked the pork belly appetizer a lot more. The veal meatballs were just a-ok. For brunch, I had the french toast, which was pretty heavy, but also tasty. I definitely couldn't finish that. My boyfriend got the sandwich that was essentially just like a BLT that was done with a twist. We also got some fruit when we ordered our entrees, woot! Free fruit. read more

This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant! Great cocktails and pasta, particularly the bolognese. The apps are changing seasonally but there's always something tasty. Ambiance is great for dates and special occasions. Service is decent though not as good as it should be for the "fancy" level of the restaurant read more

I hadn't been to Serafina in YEARS, but remember having enjoyed it in the past, so was excited to check it out for Seattle Restaurant Week for lunch for the 2 courses. I went with some coworkers and we had made a reservation. Upon arriving, there were several tables available but for whatever reason, we were seated at a table in the corner, right against a half wall where it was super dark. Kind of weird, since usually when you make a reservation you get a decent/better table. We asked if we could move and they had no problem moving us to the table next to us. (No one sat at our original table so doesn't appear that they were saving it for another reservation). As for the meal itself, I had the antipasti of the day which was a mushroom soup (cant remember the exact description since it wasn't printed on the menu). It was creamy, flavorful and pretty tasty! For the main dish, 3 out of 4 of us got the pasta which was Orechiette with peas and mushrooms (again, don't remember exact description) but it was VERY underwhelming. There wasn't much flavor at all, and no sauce really (just a little oil). The only saving grace was the Parmesan crisp on top (garnish) which added some flavor/saltiness that was much needed. Mushrooms were mentioned in the item description but there were literally 2 tiny pieces of mushroom on the pasta, but plenty of peas, which don't add THAT much flavor or depth (see pic). Hmm.. the rest was just the pasta. I can't emphasize how little flavor there was. Usually I'm sensitive to salt and tend to think things are over-seasoned. In this case, it was really quite the opposite - no complexity to the dish at all. Our other friend who opted for the meatballs commented that the meatballs were a little dry. I don't think she meant the meatballs themselves, but there was minimal sauce on top of the meatballs so the sauce was gone way before the meatballs were... it seemed like a stingy serving of the sauce. The service was decent and everything else was fine, but I just can't get over how subpar the pasta was... I hope that this was just a fluke with this particular SRW dish, but for $20 for lunch, you'd expect to really have a tasty, enjoyable meal. I may give them another try but this place is definitely not a high priority. read more

Came here for Seattle Restaurant Week! Overall, I had a very pleasant experience - phenomenal food, good service, classic atmosphere. I got the three course for $35, and ordered the seafood soup as an appetizer, pork tenderloin as an entree, and the chocolate cake for dessert. Both the soup and pork were delicious and very well seasoned. The soup has a spicy kick and a lot of texture that made the dish very fun. The pork tenderloin has this sweet, acidic sauce that balanced out the heaviness of the meat. I would highly recommend them! However, the chocolate cake was a little bit underwhelming. I don't know if they make it in house, but it wasn't as great nor as creative as the other two dishes. If you are not coming here for SRW, I would recommend getting dessert somewhere else. Service was overall pretty pleasant, but there were some caveats. First, the bread is $5 - although it's delicious bread, and I would highly recommend getting it, they don't inform you that it's an extra charge. There is also an additional 3% automatic "service charge" that is distributed to the kitchen staff. Once again, it would have been great if they noted it on the menu beforehand or something. Regardless of the small caveats, I would definitely come here again, and would recommend it to other people. The food was great and had a very pleasant time there. read more

Beautiful views, from almost anywhere in the restaurant. The service was awesome. The food was delicious and savory. Would recommend

Four of us dined there last night. Although the fried risotto appetizer we shared was delicious, the salad was served before it and the wine came after both of them! It was noisy there and we had trouble selecting our orders because the server spoke fast and quickly disappeared if we didn't respond in the time she allotted us. My partner and I each ordered the same pasta dish. He asked for the larger while I asked for the smaller. When they came, they looked quite the same. When we later told the server (she wasn't around when we were served) , she said she would tell the "kitchen" and came back with two cookies, which were pretty but 95% sugar. When we asked for boxes for our leftover portions, a helper took them away. When he came back he gave us only one box. When we asked where the other was, he said he had put them in the same box because they were the same dish! With so many other wonderful restaurants to choose from in Seattle. I am sure we will not go back to Serafina. read more

Serafina - you've always held a special place in my heart and I can't believe I don't visit more often! I had a fantastic experience the other evening, in the crazy snowstorm, and will definitely be back (and was smiling at how many other people braved the snow to stop by and enjoy your food and ambiance). My dirty grey goose martini - was perfect! (And I'm really judgey about my martinis!) The wine we had was perfect with our meals. And my pasta - seriously, decadent, heavenly, and just what I needed. read more

Delicious food! Even the oil that you dip the bread in was to die for. I tried the gnocchi with goat cheese (yum) and the duck confit pasta (omg yes, but tiny portion for a full size......) and the arancini (good but not standout), and the Limone salad (yes). The rest of the food my table ordered that I didn't get a chance to try was also raved about by all. I was sad they didn't offer tiramisu but their cheesecake did not disappoint. The waiter wasn't particularly friendly or available but we made do. Overall a wonderful experience, mostly due to the quality of the food at a not-overly-expensive price. read more

I might be a little biased because this nearby, but this is some of the best Italian I've had without ever visiting Italy. Even the ambiance of the place with black and white tile, faded burgundy walls and viney terrace feels old world. The great amount of care they put into distancing added to the intimacy of our dinner. Incredibly fresh, seasonal, and consistently scrumptious, plus they create pasta dishes you won't find anywhere else. I would've just had the affogato and biscotti for dinner if I could, or even just the Arancini with smoked mushrooms, asparagus and Gorgonzola. But no, of course we tried a couple pasta dishes...and these flavors were on the next level. Unless you are certifiably Celiac, you absolutely have to experience their menu. read more

This beautiful place has always gotten a five star rating from me. But something in the recent year or two has changed. The ambience? The vibe? I'm not exactly sure what's missing. The staff doesn't seem as happy maybe. I know Covid messed with a lot of things in the industry, so who knows. The food is still excellent but something is now missing. It makes me sad as I've been going for 20 years. Maybe it's the cheer, the joy, that used to exist there? I want the owner to know so that he can make some uplifting changes before it's too late. People are talking. read more

Great ambience. Great service. The appetizers were not bad. We had arancini and panzenella salad. Both were pretty good. We were so excited and thinking why don't we come here more until the entrees arrived. The bolognese had large pieces of grizzle and the pasta was so overcooked. It almost tasted like it was reheated. The scallop dish was cold and waaay too salty and I think it was $45! Maybe we ordered wrong or came on a off night. read more

Serafina is one of my personal favorites for Italian in Seattle! Such a cute date spot! The food and wine is delicious - the rigatoni bolognese is amazing. Love the bread as well. Service has always been solid! Would recommend going here. read more

We had been looking forward to a special birthday dinner. We've never been to Serafina, but it had been on our list for a while. Unfortunately, we ended up wishing we'd chosen a different restaurant. Here's the deal: Atmosphere here is nice. Subdued lighting, nice settings, but tables are pretty close together so you end up bumping into the customers at other tables when you pull your chair out. Service should be a lot better. Our waiter was friendly, but that's about it. He was dressed in a black T-shirt and a somewhat soiled apron. Honestly, when he first came to the table we thought he was the busboy. Throughout the meal he was pretty inattentive. We had to flag someone else down for water and the woman who brought out our entrees basically just shoved them at us and rushed off. This occurred despite there being a large number of wait staff hanging around. We'd booked through Open Table so he knew it was a birthday celebration and asked "Who's birthday?" We told him we both were celebrating a birthday (three days apart). He then told us his birthday had been the day before and that was it. No little dessert with a candle, no manager stopping by to wish us Happy Birthday, although we did see him floating around other tables. Not a huge deal, but for a high end restaurant they missed an opportunity to make it a special night. But wait, it gets a lot worse... The food, oh my, the food was such a huge disappointment. Given the reviews we'd read we were expecting very good Italian food. Hmmmm. Both entrees were $24 and the spaghetti was not a large portion. The Rigatoni tasted like, I kid you not, Chef Boyardee, seriously, like it came out of a can, except that the pasta was very underdone. The spaghetti was supposed to be a spicy dish and, as I like spicy food, I asked for it to be extra spicy. What I got was a very bland and sweet spaghetti sauce. No hint of spice or heat at all. Ugh! No one bothered to ask us how our meal was. Worst of all, the upcharges. Let's tick them off: 3% wage fee (although Serafina is hardly the only Seattle restaurant to add this charge), Bread for the table with olive oil is $5, if you want them to split an entrée it is $5. Most restaurants do this for free or charge $2 or $3. Worst of all I ordered a drink that is not on the menu. It is not a complex drink, it is basically a mint julep. I specified that they could use the house liquor. When the bill came the drinks were $10 each, which is high, but the amazing part is that they charged $3 for a "special drink". I had two drinks and they did this for both of them. So they charge an extra $3 for the bartender to mix a drink!! Wow!! We dine out a lot and I have never, ever been charged for the bartender to do what a bartender does. I get that Seattle is not known for Italian food, but I'm not sure why this restaurant has so many good reviews. We will not be back. read more

Came in to try their brunch. Pleasantly greeted by live music. Lots of people and patrons standing in line, so make sure to make your reservation! We had one for 1:45, came in around 1:30 and were seated very quickly. Our server early on apologized for a substitute on the menu, which was what I wanted (king salmon frittata). Thus try to get RSVP for earlier hours instead of towards the end. We started with a carafe of mimosas. The carafe held a generous portion of 4-5 glasses (3 filled to the top for dh). I ordered the plin (home braised pork with a runny egg on top), and dh ordered the spalla di maele (braised pork with polenta & poached egg). My food tasted very salty and dh's tasted like grits and pork. I will most likely come back to try their dinner menu, next time so I can write a more accurate review. All in all, pleasant environment, nice workers, good food choices. read more

This was my second time at Serafina and it was almost the exact same experience as the first time I went. I booked our reservations using Open Table which was super convenient and allowed me to change our reservation to different times and numbers of people at the push of a few buttons. When we were arrived we were kindly greeted and told our table would be ready shortly. The waitress went to check and then grabbed our menus and took us over. The ambiance of the place at dinner time is dim lighting and candles on each table. There were a few lights on the ceiling as well but you get the night time romantic/intimate vibe. This place is definitely the place for a candle lit dinner kind of date night or a evening with your close friends or family. Our table ordered 4 types of pasta and began the meal with bread and meatballs. The bread came with olive oil and a garlic / spice mixture which was really tasty. I am not a fan that you have to pay extra for bread but it seemed good quality so that is probably why. I took a bite of the meatballs which were ordered and they were super good. You get a good wiff of them when they go by to the tables around you. I would recommend this as your starter. For the pasta, it is all made in house. We had the Spaghetti, the Rigatoni bolognese, the Bucatini carbonara and the special which was a Pork Belly Pappardelle. Each dish came with a good amount of Parmesan grated on top. If you cannot have dairy, I recommend saying no cheese on your order. The spaghetti was definitely al dente. If you like it like that, I think you would be a fan. It was a little too hard for me but I liked the sauce. The Rigatoni bolognese was yummy but tasted like your average bolognese sauce you could order other places. The Bucatini and the Pappardelle were my favorite pasta dishes out of the 4. The carbonara was creamy but not overly creamy or rich. It had the right amount of flavor and the duck was cooked perfectly. The one weird thing about that dish was the asparagus pieces. I do not really think they did anything for the dish but I guess was not something I needed to pick around either. The pappardelle was soft and the sauce was bold. It had a red sauce with pork belly and tomato based. Our table ordered the small size of the dishes and it was enough, more than enough for some of us. I saved half of my order to go and ate it for breakfast the next morning. I love leftovers so it worked for me. I did this the last time I went as well and I have to admit, I almost like the food better the next day. The one down side is parking. They do not have a parking lot so you have time find street parking. I would arrive a little early so you can scout for parking and walk over. The menu here changes every few months it seems so I would take a look before you book reservations. Especially look if you are trying to go for a specific dish you saw on yelp or instagram. I would recommend coming here and I will be back! read more

First time to Serafina in years. Expectations cautiously high. Some hits, some misses. Starters: the Bruxelles and the polpettine were excellent. The Burrata was somewhat disappointing. The biggest problem with the pane (bread) was that it was ice cold. Main courses: the rigatoni Bolognese was excellent as was the lasagna. The Maiale (pork chop) was generous and divine. The osso bucco was unfortunately somewhat smothered in the Calabria Sofrito. It was unpleasantly spicy. Without this condiment, it would have been simply lovely. Perhaps next time will ask for it to be on the side. Biggest miss for us was dessert. I have never had Affogato in a frozen demitasse with ice cold espresso poured over it. I'm not sure if this was an oops from the kitchen or an intentional choice. But when it's 30° outside, I hope it wasn't intentional. Affogato typically is piping hot fresh espresso poured over vanilla gelato such that the gelato melts into a luscious cream. This was cold coffee over a ball of iced vanilla in a cup and saucer fresh from the freezer! The biscotti on the side was quite nice. Service was attentive and gracious. read more

$25 for a glass of wine one can buy a bottle for $17 RETAIL is a danger sign. Told Jessica the GM and she laughed and agreed that Nebbiolo is the poor man's wine or usually the bottom tier on a fancy wine list. But no adjustment to our $75 for 3 glasses haha ha ha ha. Great example of a business just hopping on the "Oh everything is going up" bandwagon and turning the opportunity into a "Gouge" opportunity. Bring your own wine as the food is great. read more

I've been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere. They do have really good food! But similar to some other diners I have to comment on the small portions especially for pasta. We had to ask whether they mistakenly brought a half portion of the bolognese and were assured it was a full portion. 2 apps, 2 entrees, we split a dessert. Over $200. And we went home and snacked on leftovers because we were still hungry. Sorry Serafina - just not an acceptable experience. read more
