It is tiny and cosy place with an amazing service and delicious food. On top of that, their prices are super friendy.
Dear God! You'd think you died and went to heaven. Excellent greasy and crispy calamari and OUTSTANDING Lobster Ravioli. Strawberry Basil Martini :Delicious, well mixed and presented. Will definitely be back. *The Serafina in the Theatre District.
Serafina on University was BOMB tonight! We craved good cooking with great wine and pizza and pasta. We hit a home run. Ambience is amazing. Food was exquisite and even the music was on point. Brittany sat us right away when we didn't have a reservation and got everything we needed within two minutes of sitting. So cozy. So nice. If I lived in this neighborhood, I would be here every Fri night.
Great Italian place very authentic and traditional great pizzas great pasta, very well. Run and great professional service atmosphere was fun inviting and even family friendly. Terrific spot can't go wrong.
Small Italian restaurant on East 58th. Not many entree options but all good ones. Enjoyed the grilled calamari appetizer. Fettuccine with lobster was good choice. Service attentive.
Will never get over the pennette stolichnaya. So so delicious and perfect. And an appropriate amount of Parmesan
Our most delicious dinner in NY. This food snob gives this place 5 stars for service and food quality
This was probably more of a three and a half star dinner, but given the choice of going up or down from there, I've opted for the former because while it wasn't the perfect meal, what was perfect worked really well. The service was impeccable. It was attentive, friendly and everything service should be. The arugula salad with carpaccio (we substituted spinach for the arugula) was divine. And when an issue arose with our food, the manager was quick to address it and handle it quick and easily, proving that this is a restaurant that cares about its patrons. The hubby loved his tiramisu. What didn't work is kind of irrelevant and not worth going into.
