I typically like Serafina. Tuna tartare appetizer was very good, as were the cocktails, however, I did not like my entree, which was a special - squid ink pasta with seafood. It tasted mushy and the seafood didn't blend with the pasta; the lobster was not tasty at all. I wish they had a few more shrimp dishes on the menu. Next time, though, I'll stick with my pasta and clams, cause that's always good.

The menu is very creative with something for everyone. I thought the apps and entres were fairly priced and the portion size ample. I had the octopus appetizer and was a little disappointed with how many legs were served. For entre, the Chicken Scarp was excellent with a good blend of sausage, chicken and peppers. It does seem odd to me that in a suburban quiet town like Ardsley, the bottle of wine prices started at $53. There was nothing special about our chardonnay.

From the second we walked in to the time we sat down, we were met by a friendly and enthusiastic staff. We had a reservation for 4, but needed to add one more and Frank was more than accommodating. The service was on point and the food was excellent. We would highly recommend for a family dinner or a date night. Thank you to the staff for a great experience!
