" Found Serafina on a whim and it turned out to be a delightful surprise! The entrance is understated, but once you step in, you're welcomed by a warm atmosphere and beautiful decor. The pasta offerings were authentic and delectable. I was particularly impressed with their seafood linguine, which was generously portioned and fresh. The service was also commendable, making for a great dining experience overall. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute gem! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a dinner spot. It was everything we hoped for. The ambience was magical with fairy lights illuminating the terrace. We shared a mix of appetizers, including their famous rice balls, which were phenomenal! The pizza—and everything we tried—was authentically delicious. The only downside was the wait for a table, but it was so worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Serafina was a great choice for dinner. However, while the setting was pleasant, the food didn't live up to the expectations set by the reviews I read. The pasta was decent—definitely homey—but I wouldn't label it as exceptional. Service was good, but I felt it was a mild struggle to grab their attention at times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrating our anniversary at Serafina was a treat. The location by the water provided a romantic backdrop that complemented our delicious meal. They offered a lovely selection of wines, and the staff helped us pair them perfectly with our food. The homemade tiramisu was a standout dessert. Every bite brought us closer to authentic Italian dining, a hidden gem that I almost want to keep to myself! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oddly enough, what attracted me the most was the look of the restaurant from the outside. It has an old-world charm that gets you curious. Inside, the ambiance matches with terrace seating by the water. Meanwhile, every dish screams authenticity—from the baked ziti to the mushroom risotto. Portions are generous, and we loved every bite. Service needs more focus, though, because we had to call for our server more than once. Overall, a delightful Italian experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Serafina is a sweet restaurant with a charming atmosphere by the water. The food was good; I particularly enjoyed the bruschetta for starters and the rich pappardelle sauce for my main dish. Service was attentive, although I felt our orders were slightly mismanaged. I’ll return to try more dishes from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint spot that serves good Italian food. The staff were welcoming, and the view of the water gives a lovely ambiance. The food was above average, but I expected more kick in the flavors. The lasagna was enjoyable but could use a little twist in seasoning. All in all, a decent place; perhaps it just needs a touch more attention to detail on the food. " (*Curated Review*)
