This is the best Italian restaurant I have had since visiting San Francisco. Grat food and wonderful environment and amazing service. The dessert with Avery tasteful coffee ended my dinner wonderfully. This is a must stop and try when ever you are in Arnold

We visited Sarafina’s Italian Kitchen in late October and absolutely loved it! The parking lot and road were packed, but even without a reservation, the staff found us a cozy table outside under a warm propane heater. The vibe was awesome, relaxed, warm, and welcoming. They brought out warm bread right away, which was such a nice start. We had Nettie’s Caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes, and it was fresh, flavorful, and so good. The service was super friendly and everything just felt easy and comfortable. We’ve been to a lot of great restaurants, and this is now one of our favorites. Between the amazing food, friendly people, and perfect Arnold setting after a day outdoors, this place really stands out. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Stopped in mid week with a friend and had a simply wonderful meal. He had the lobster ravioli with a cream sauce and I asked our server about the seafood risotto vs the steak. She asked a few questions and then recommended I get the risotto. She was spot on with her recommended risotto. Full flavor with the seafood and perfect cook on the risotto itself. My friend enjoyed his ravioli and described it as rich and well balanced pasta. Bread was awesome and the whole experience was well worth our stop. Definitely a good place for a great meal!!

The food was good, but the waitress Kimber, was very unfriendly. She bumped into me as I was at my table at least four times without one apology. We told them in advance that we were celebrating two birthdays. The waitress offered nothing for the birthday ladies. However, when we were leaving we heard her singing happy birthday to another table. We were a party of seven Latina women, and during a time when our country feels so divided, this just added to that bad feeling. Also, it would have been nice if Kimber let us know that there was a 3% surcharge for each credit card for split orders.

Very nice place, great food and amazing vibe. Friendly staff. Pasta was great a little heavy and creamy but really tasteful. It's a little pricey , in general highly recommend it. Also, it's a very popular place so make sure to make a reservation

Had dinner here while visiting Big Trees Stare Park. Dinner was delicious. The balsamic vinegar they serve with bread was soooo good. Portions are very generous. Sauces on dishes ordered were very flavorful. Parking is very limited.
