The atmosphere was quiet and the server was friendly. Everyone on there was friendly and interested in how well they were doing. The food was so good. I wish I had more. Ordered the Spicy Penne Alla Vodka and my sister ordered Spaghetti Carbonara.

This Serafina is in the heart of the theater district. It is great for pre or post theater dining. The menu is inclusive without being overwhelming, as is the wine list. The service and food are excellent and the ambience pleasing.

Mediocre food in a loud and crowded space. The wait staff kept hitting my chair as they walked by. Food was under-seasoned and the cutlery couldn’t get through a pizza crust. The complimentary bread was stale and the olive oil tasted like a blend. Underwhelmed is an understatement. I made a reservation for a friend’s birthday after a recommendation, and there was zero acknowledgement of our special dinner out. Definitely not planning to return.

We had a very good experience at Serafina’s. Perfect pre theater dinner. Food was good and perfect portions to be able to sit in a theater seat and not be uncomfortable for the duration of a play. Would definitely go back!
