Serafina is a cozy and lively neighborhood restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine, owned by individuals from Rome. They offer efficient service and delicious pastas, including perfectly grilled calamari, and the must-try pinsa. The atmosphere is warm and buzzing, with beautiful abstract paintings on the walls. Despite its size, the restaurant is a popular spot that often gets busy, so arriving early is recommended. The environment has a cozy feel, and the staff, including chef Umberto, frequently offers interesting specials. Customers have enjoyed dishes like the shrimp pasta simmering in delicate red sauce with a small hint of chili and the luscious lamb chops cooked to perfection, though sometimes waiting times can be long during busy hours. The wine selection is great, available by glass or bottle, making for a wonderful dining experience. While service has received praise for its warmth and personalized touch, some reviews note that not all staff are equally friendly, and handling large parties can be challenging. Overall, Serafina remains a neighborhood gem with authentic Italian food and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that many consider a place not to miss.
