Serafina Italian Restaurant Tribeca

Horrible service. Waited almost an hour to be seated and it literally wasn't even that busy. Took another 20 to get our orders taken. Waitress was rude. And then gave herself a 20% tip

I recently visited Serafina in Tribeca after seeing some very polished ads that promised a upscale dining experience with top-notch food. Unfortunately, the reality didn't quite match up. The dining room was pretty underwhelming—definitely not the warm, inviting space shown in the pictures. It felt more like a cafe than the elegant setting they advertisedand the ambiance was kind of flat. As for the food, it was... fine. Nothing special, but not terrible either. Portions were average, flavors were okay, but nothing stood out. It felt like something I could've made at home on a weekday. Service was decent, no complaints there, but overall, the experience was just very "meh." Not horrible, but not worth going out of your way for. Might be alright if you're nearby and hungry, but don't expect anything memorable.

We love this restaurant and visit once a year when we are in NY. Food is delicious. Our only complaint was that the waiter recommended a $25 glass of wine without mentioning the price. We thought that was a bit cheeky.

It's a super tight space. If you got more than 2 people or small kids, forget about it. You'll hate your life. Not a good spot for large work groups or anything like that. Best to keep this like a dating spot or something small, casual... anything else will stress you out.

Great neighborhood restaurant.. Wonderful food, affordable prices.. Waitstaff is fantastic... Manager is always available, and attentive...Fresh, made in house pastas are a go to...

Highly recommend this place strictly for the bartenders (specifically Cruz). Go to this bar

It was packed on a Friday evening. Cozy atmosphere. We had to wait quite a long time before we could order. Had a 'wobbly table'. The food was delicious.
Why does a bottle of water have to cost $10? Isn't that proportionate anymore?

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Serafina, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy decor. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure every detail was taken care of. The bartender Cruz was the best bartender and was the reason the night was incredible. If you come here make sure to ask for Cruz.

Had a pleasant experience here celebrating a friend’s birthday. The location is nice and the inside is beautifully decorated. One of the better locations I’ve found as I’ve been to the a few of the locations. The staff were friendly and attentive along with the food coming out quickly. The drinks were made strong which makes it worth the high price but the food I would say is definitely over priced which is the only reason why I deducted a star. The food is delicious but you’re really paying for the name, the location and ambiance when it comes to Serafina so you have to go into it knowing that you’re going to pay a premium for that. Other than that, we had a great time.
