Wow, did all the Serafina restaurants change their menus or is this location special? The menu here is more upscale than my other Serafina experiences, and so so good. We ordered meatballs, bruschetta, filet mignon carpaccio, grilled octopus and caprese as appetizers. All so so delicious especially the carpaccio. The cucumber martini was tooo good!
Hailey was our server tonight and she was EXCEPTIONAL! This is a new MUST next time I’m in New York.
A very cozy atmosphere that really makes you feel like you’re in Italy. The service is excellent, and it’s a very pleasant place to spend time.
The food, however, was not the strongest part of the experience.
