My family gave them a try a coue weeks ago and this restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food. Highly recommend 👌 👍 I have eaten in restaurants and homes from Milan to Catania and this place is on par with the best food I've had in Italy. We'll be back!!
Hands down the best meal we’ve had in San Francisco in many years. Everything was just perfection, true Italian food and hospitality at its very best. The place was packed and they had a huge birthday party of 20+ to deal with, but the manager and servers were so nice, so efficient and so welcoming. And the food! OMG delicious doesn’t even begin to describe it. We had the salmon carpaccio to start and it was so fresh and tasty. Don’t skip the amazing house made...read full review

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, often 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. One recent experience mentioned that the waiter rushed through courses, rushing the guests and disrupting the relaxed atmosphere, which was disappointing. Overall, Serafina remains a neighborhood gem with authentic Italian food and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that many consider a place not to miss.
