Meredith BlechmanJuly 18, 2015Heir woodfire pizzas are delicious, but I kid you not that the spaghetti squash is the best thing on the menu. Comes with pine nuts, roasted veggies, and the most perfect tomato sauce.
Nabeel HyattMay 11, 2013Good food for you and extremely kid friendly. Various locations make it an easy place to hop in with kids for dinner when hunger strikes early.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
SamMay 19, 2013The food is amazing but the service is another story! Come with ZERO expectation (when it comes to service) and you will always be pleasantly surprise!!

funky flavorDecember 15, 2016I need to talk aboit the desert and be fair because their tiramisu is amazing, but i will stand behind on how disapointed i was on the salmon. And the service was also bad. Waited 20 min for water...
Village VoiceJanuary 18, 2013Serafina offers the authentic Italian feeling craved by most of us as we chow into the first slice of pizza. With fried calamari and margherita pizza served you can’t go wrong
Katie SchlossJanuary 30, 2012After a light meal (I love the salads here!), wander over to Wollman Ice Skating Rink. Open until 11pm on Fridays & Saturdays, this is the perfect way to spend an evening on the Upper East Side.
Leena NJuly 6, 2017Mushroom ravioli was yum blanca pizza good as well .porcini risotto wasn't the best needed more flavor..goat cheese salad was a pass..tiramisu was very light atmosphere is nice..service is gr8
Maryann BaumOctober 24, 2015Great food, service and atmosphere! Had the eggs Benedict off the brunch menu, it was great. Everyone I was with lives their dishes too.- funky flavorDecember 15, 2016Gor the second year my company has its holiday party here. The set up is great, however the food is not impressive, the prosciytto with buratta is ok, but the salmon wal salty and the sides flavorles
BibkataDecember 17, 2016It just never disappoints. The lemon scallopini are finger licking delicious! The burrata starter is fabulous. Can't go wrong really!
Sibel AkcekayaJanuary 15, 2017Great choice if you want to get quick bite to eat, especially pastas are super fast and fresh fettuccine was super delicious
John SmithJune 17, 2013The SPAGHETTI ALL’ARAGOSTA (spaghetti w/ half a lobster in a spicy tomato sauce) was one of the most amazing things I've ever put in my mouth.
Caroline McBrideSeptember 26, 2011Order a FOCACCIA DI SOFIA for the table it is made with special cheese (a secret!) and truffle oil. Amazing! Great place to see cool people, good music, fabulous energy!
Gabbi BakerNovember 20, 2011Great classic Italian restaurant with delicious pizza, pasta, and fried calamari! Spotted a Real Housewife of DC - it's a favorite! A lot of families with children, too.- Can’t go wrong with Serafina. Great pasta and pizza! The Di Sofia Pizza is amazing.
KellyMarch 9, 2017I prefer the 7th Ave location for layout and ambiance, but they do a very nice job here in tighter quarters.
BravoAugust 8, 2011Any spot that plays host to a fight disastrous enough to have Ramona in tears and Jill calling Bobby lamenting “She did it to me again” has to be included. We doubt Ramona will hold another wine tasti
Alexander GolubevMarch 22, 2013After the first visit, I thought that the drink served at the table within 30 secs after the order placed was a coincidence, however after the next visits it appeared to be a good tradition.
Rosaida BlancoAugust 20, 2013My 1st time @ Serafina was in 2012 @ Meatpacking District and LOVED IT ❤! Such a great surprise finding out I had "Serafina Always" right next to Park Avenue @ Madison Avenue. Everything italian...GO!
Nikki 🌺April 25, 2011Try the margherita pizza and fried calamari to start, and then one of their homemade pastas as an entree! Can't go wrong with any of the selections!
- funky flavorJune 13, 2016Try the pizza(Margarita) and the gnocchi, no one can go wrong with gnocchi.
Luis Miguel SolanaNovember 1, 2014Pizzas! Great thin crust along with tomato sauce. Perfect combination
Adriana LemeJune 3, 2016The best place I've been here in NY until now. Try the spaghetti with panceta, it's awesome! Prices from U$S 16 to 20
Mandy FatemiNovember 20, 2011Get the calamari to start. Food came out right away. Very fresh, not too garlicky, and not too heavy Italian food. Just right.
AlejandroOctober 14, 2010This is the best Serafina location, try their Veuve-Cliquot Rissotto is to die for! You can only find it at this location and trust me it's amazing!
Lily JungJuly 6, 2013Great farfalle Limoncello. Many families with young children are here. There is a children's menu.
Pati AmorosoAugust 23, 2012Ask to sit at the first room or else the stubborn hostess will seat you with the kids in the back. Everything is salt-less and slow service!- BravoAugust 9, 2011Any spot that plays host to a fight disastrous enough to have Ramona in tears and Jill calling Bobby lamenting “She did it to me again” has to be included.
Ariadne RentzDecember 17, 2011Absolutely amazing food. Authentic Italian. Everything on the Menu is amazing. But try the tiramisu. Won't be disappointed
Shuaa AldarwishNovember 18, 2014This Italian restaurant service yummy Burrata and the pizza was really good ..- Caroline McBrideNovember 19, 2012The people who work here are amazing! Whole wheat and gluten free options are available.

Sarah StoutNovember 8, 2011Delicious home made pasta. And just a block away from the regency hotel if you need a quick bite
- Melina GuedesMay 31, 2012Best place to eat some pizza after a long day walking in Manhattan. Cosy and near to The Pierre.
