This restaurant is coasting on its prime real estate location. The food was so disappointing. There are so many great restaurants in NYC and in this neighborhood. There's no reason to go here. We ate outside by the trash. The indoor dining room smelled like a toilet. We had a table of nine and no one was happy with their meals. Avoid.

I’ve been to this location quite a few times before, and I genuinely have good experiences with the staff and the food as well.This last Saturday (3/30) it was a nightmare. They were so so so understaffed. Drinks took 15+ minutes to come out. Our waiter definitely had way too many tables for one person. Management really needs to step it up and staff this place!

The pizza was very delicious with fresh cheese and ham on top of the crispy crust. The risotto had a great truffle flavor. The food and atmosphere were both great.

I got the Ravioli Ala Salvia with chicken. There were maybe 7 pieces of Ravioli. I was still hungry after eating

We were walking in the area and gave this restaurant a try. Food was mediocre. Wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either. Not worth the price in my opinion. Service was good. Bathrooms were on the dirty side. Final verdict: I wouldn’t recommend.

I don’t say this often but go ahead skip this restaurant. My friends and I had a terrible experience - we felt rushed the entire time by the service and the food was wayyyy below average, especially at that price range. The cacio e pepe was essentially butter noodles that I could make at home. It was absolutely god awful. And we paid $170 for it. I’d recommend you stay away from this restaurant, there’s so much better italian food in NYC.

The restaurant was not busy . Very loud with out of control kids. There should be a section for those without children. Calamari was horrific . We sent it back. Waiter was MIA the entire time yet put a 20% gratuity on our bill. I would not have paid that . Other locations are better .

Place has really gone downhill and has become borderline junk food. Look at the attached chicken Parmesan. Zero refinement. Flat salty and hard served in a pizza box. Something you would see at a football stadium. Their roasted Brussel sprouts were so oily and had the seasoning of Chinese food. Never ordering from here
Wonderful salads. Lobster ravioli and spaghetti and meatballs were really tasty but way, way over salted. I'd go back and would even get those dishes again if they could possibly not over salt them so much.

Really great restaurant...have eaten at several Serafina's across the city and they do not disappoint! The General Manager, Ann Kassy, was so welcoming and attentive, as was the wait staff. Looking forward to trying the new Serafina on University!

Our experience was fantastic. Upon arriving on Christmas Day the hostesses were very friendly and welcoming. We were escorted upstairs to a corner table that was very comfortable for our party of 7. Ordered several dishes and all were outstanding. The pasta is so fresh tasting! My personal favorite was the spicy sausage orecchiette and family loved the carbonara. Salads and calamari were great starters. The service was great - slow enough to not feel rushed, but attentive. Other tables arrived and the ambiance was festive and moderately loud, but we could still hear one another chat. We will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and decently priced for a nice Italian restaurant in NYC! Delicious pasta of satisfying proportions. Serafina's attentive staff cared for us throughout the night with water refills and non intrusive check-ins. My friend said the chocolate cake was delicious... I didn't get to try it because he devoured it with ravenous speed. Look at that happy boy!
