Kicking off the New Year with a meal at Serafina, perched atop Russian Hill, feels like coming home. This beloved neighborhood gem is where familiar faces gather and every dish is crafted with care. Known for its exceptional homemade pasta and decadent, house-made desserts, Serafina radiates a warmth you want to share with friends visiting from out of town. The journey up to Russian Hill—300 feet of San Francisco’s classic charm—only adds to the only in San Francisco experience. PS: One of the best gnocchi I've had outside NYC.

On a busy night they had a great central table for us. The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere cool, but the staff were amazing, fun and engaging throughout the evening. Highly recommend!
This is a little gem hidden in the trees. Everything we have had is amazing. The soups, salads, pastas, Marsala, Piccata, steaks, fish, Risotto & Lasagna are all wonderful. The Sara’s Favorite is life changing. The desserts are lovely and the service is friendly and attentive. So……….make a reservation, come hungry and enjoy our favorite Italian restaurant in the forest❤️

We were referred to this cozy spot with the great family home vibes. The service was personable and accommodating. You really felt like you were at family dinner. The food was incredible. We ordered the caprese salad and prosciutto arugula appetizers, both were amazing. For our entrees we had the chicken piccata, lasagne, and my son had a pizza. The lasagne was a showstopper...but really all the dishes were delicious. Great place! Thank you for the experience!

I’m in town for a few days and got dinner here with a friend. It was our first time trying Serafina and we loved it! Authentic Italian dishes with fabulous wine! The food was delicious. Fausto and Uberto are the sweetest and they made the experience 3x better!! :) From the service to food, we had a lovely time here and will definitely be back!! (Fausto, this is Christina :) hahaha)
