Serafina Italian Restaurant 77th Upper West

Good as usual, but I found the food a bit saltier than usual. It was also quite noisy. However, I'll still be back--great neighborhood place with excellent service and good menu.

Excellent restaurant. We've never been disappointed at any Serafina location. Can't wait for next time.

Amazing! The caesar salad was great. The best cacio e pepe this side of Rome. My wife thought her lasagna was the best she ever had. Same goes for the tiramisu. What else can I say? We're definitely going back.

Was put in a side room with no ambience and several large families with a lot of very loud children. Service was not very good. Food was fair. Won't be going back.

What a New York experience: we arrived at noon to see a person prostrated on the sidewalk right at the entrance! After the ambulance left we were ushered in by the unflappable staff . One of us wanted breakfast (lemon ricotta pancakes) one wanted lunch (pizza with anchovies and capers ) — no problem! Nice house wine—“super Tuscan”.

Food was very good and Carlos' service was excellent. Fair price.

My italian girlfriend is super picky about Gnocchi and this is the first time in the US that she was 100% happy. The pizza was also absolutely perfect. Believe me, i have tested a lot of italian restaurants. This is as authentic as it gets!!!!

I enjoyed eating here tonight, especially since I hadn't been to Serafina in over a decade.

First, our server was fantastic! Unfortunately, I didn't get her name to be able to give her credit. She had great personality, was humorous and very attentive without hovering, asked good questions, made great cocktail suggestions, and brought a decent substitute sauce for my steak since the steak sauce was so-so. And most unfortunately, she didn't stay with us to the end of our meal, so a different server received her tip.

The espresso martini she recommended was absolutely perfect, all ingredients wonderfully balanced! I'll definitely get it again, and will have the perfect comparison if I order it at another restaurant.

Although the plating of my steak dinner was mediocre, the steak itself was ON POINT!! I ordered the steak medium rare, and it was a beautiful medium rare indeed!! It tasted divine, lightly seasoned and so juicy, wheeewww!! Loved it!! The steak sauce could've been much better though, no pizzazz, too much like a basic gravy. Two days, I ate the remaining half of the steak and it still tasted great!!

The pistachio tart was so-so. It was too soft and creamy with too subtle pistachio taste and a negligible sprinkle of chopped pistachio on top. They should've covered it with a layer of chopped pistachio and left off the huge mint leaves. I won't order it again, and I don't recommend it.

Even with the disappointing steak sauce and pistachio tart, I still give a 5 for food because of the steak, fries, and espresso martini! 😋

I'll not wait a decade before visiting Serafina again. 😊

The Calamari tasted like paper. It must have come straight out of the freezer.

I came here with my boyfriend for a late lunch. I was excited, my name is Serafina and I had never been here.

To be honest I was very disappointed. We got two pizzas, which came out incredibly soggy. The taste was there but you couldn't pick up a slice without it falling apart. We also got the calamari which was mid.

The server was very attentive at the beginning of our visit and then kind of forgot about us. Sadly, despite our shared name, I don't think I will be coming back here.

Update: I was asked to reach out to the manager regarding this situation. I did, twice, with no response. Not only did I waste my money here, I also wasted my time.

Everything was quite average.
The food was quite average , nothing special at all. The service was just ok. I can’t even tell that we enjoyed our lunch that much. Not coming back for sure
