Our server was very good and attentive. The food was just okay, but not worth the price tag. The pace of everything was super rushed. For example, we ordered an appetizer when we got the bread and not even 3 minutes later, the food arrived. This is unlike any sit down restaurant I have ever been to. It was like fast food with timing of everything almost like they had the dishes premade for them to heat up and plate. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a super quick meal, but it is not the place to go if you are celebrating any occasion and want to savor the experience. Overall was an okay experience. Nothing bad to report other than the meal feeling rushed.

Seated under a speaker playing loud annoying music. The restaurant was empty. They did turn it down but still not appropriate music for a restaurant. “Life is a highway” for example!

Food was outstanding Seating is a bit close Service was excellent and restaurant was loud but I'd go back in a heartbeat
Jon
Food was good, service was good. The appetizer came on plates way too larger and when ordering multiple appetizers they barely fit on the table with serving plates, drinks, etc..

We were in Boston for a family event and Serafina was one of the very few establishments that was able to provide a reservation to accommodate 10 people on a busy Friday night during the holiday season. We went in not expecting anything too much. We were all blown away by the food and service we received. We had 2 children ages 4 and 6 as well as the 8 adults. They took care of the kids right away which is a pro move. Our main server Nick deserves special credit...he could not have provided better service if we were his own family! Every single one of us enjoyed our meals and the whole dining experience. Our family eats out quite a bit and would be considered "foodies" . From the NYC area with all its great restaurants...this one was right up there. We also have two ladies that are gluten sensitive, and they both said the gluten-free pizzas they ordered were some of the best they've had. I tried both and they were right. Next time we are in Boston we will be sure to have dinner at Serafina again.

A little overpriced for the quality of the food and the vibes. My martini was not dirty enough and the waiter had a little too much eye contact. My pasta was just lemon flavored, not a drop of salt or pepper which upset my stomach all night

Incredible staff. Cocktails made to perfection. Delicious food. My only complaint - they’ve changed the music to wallpaper pop / house.
PLEASE bring back the Sade, MJ, Daniel Caesar, Faith Evans; this was the perfect vibe for an evening out at Serafina.

Outstanding authentic Italian. Service was great. Food was top notch from all of us in our party. I would return here many times and have no problems recommending it to anyone who loves Italian dining.

Good find for moderately priced Italian food in Back Bay! The food was very good and the service was attentive. We will be back.
Was a bit disappointed that they had kitchen equipment issues and menu items were not available. Then other things were simply out of stock. What we did order was good but probably won't be back.

Have had at least three really nice meals, both dinner and lunch here; staff is very friendly and service was fast without feeling like they are rushing you. Waiter even jumped up and carried my suitcase up the stairs for me when I was traveling. Food is very good, apps mains and drinks all great. A staple for me when I visit Boston
