" Serafina stands out for its homey atmosphere, superb service, and authentic Italian dishes. We were immediately greeted and seated promptly. The Italian Salads and handmade pasta dishes I tried were delightful! My favorite was the seafood pasta, which was packed full of fresh, vibrant flavors that gave me a real taste of Italy. The desserts were just as impressive, especially the tiramisu. Our server kept our drinks full and checked in frequently, ensuring we had everything we needed. If you're in the area and want a genuine experience, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Serafina's charm struck me as soon as I stepped inside! The delightful decor and warm ambiance set the perfect mood. Our server was attentive and engaging, guiding us through the menu expertly. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including their amazing lasagna and grilled octopus, both of which were phenomenal. We ended our meal with the tiramisu, which was so light and creamy—simply divine! I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Serafina! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. Every dish we ordered was fresh and bursting with flavor—particularly the gnocchi and the risotto. The staff felt like family, always attentive but never intrusive. We enjoyed a lovely Italian wine with our meal, beautifully recommended by our server. The only downside was that it was a bit bustling, but that added to the vibrant energy of the restaurant. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone seeking genuine Italian fare in San Francisco! " (*Curated Review*)

" Serafina is not just a meal; it’s an experience! The warm welcome from the owner made us feel like family right away. The Italian specialties are authentic, and the pasta is handmade daily. Everything we tried was phenomenal - we especially loved the burrata and the seafood pasta. The ambiance is vibrant yet relaxed, making it a perfect place for both gatherings or couples wanting to enjoy a quiet dinner. And let's talk about the tiramisu! It was the best I’ve had in my life! Each layer was perfectly crafted. We were so impressed that we made a new reservation before we even left the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to describe just how wonderful our experience at Serafina was! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance that felt like home. The menu offered a fantastic selection of authentic Italian dishes. We decided to share a few appetizers, and the grilled calamari was top-notch—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. For our main courses, I had the lasagna, which was incredibly hearty yet light, while my partner opted for the seafood special of the day. The freshness of the ingredients was apparent in every bite. The service was friendly without being intrusive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. To cap it all off, we couldn't resist trying the tiramisu, and it didn't disappoint! It was a generous portion, beautifully balanced in sweetness. All said, it was worth every penny, and we can't wait to return for another meal. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco!

" A friend highly recommended Serafina, and after dining here, I can see why! The Italian dishes were authentic and didn't disappoint. We enjoyed a mixture of appetizers, with the calamari being my favorite. For my main, I had the seafood fettuccine, which was fresh and generously sized. In contrast, my friend chose the meat lasagna, which had the most delightful flavors. The restaurant had a cozy feel that made it great for a casual dinner. The service was exceptional; our server was friendly and made great wine pairing suggestions! I cannot wait to return for more delicious meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, my partner and I tried Serafina, and wow, what an experience! We stumbled upon this charming spot high in the hills. The food was incredible and beautifully plated. We started with the caprese salad and brimming burrata, which was like a symphony for the palate. Our main dishes included the risotto and pappardelle which were both rich and delicious; it felt like we were sitting in a rustic Italian kitchen! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, and we also met the owner, who was a delight. We couldn't resist dessert and shared the tiramisu, which was perfection! I can’t wait to come back!
