" Had dinner at Serafini's last night. The ambiance was nice and relaxed, and our waitress was very attentive. The stuffed shells I ordered were satisfying but didn’t quite measure up to the rave reviews I’d heard. They were good, but not exceptional. I enjoyed the part where they served fresh bread right out of the oven; it was so warm and delicious! All in all, it was a pleasant experience, but I expected a bit more in terms of flavor intensity. I would still recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Serafini's several times, but my recent visit left me questioning its reputation. The food lacked the usual flavor; my veal didn't have the tenderness it should have had and came to the table cold. The waitress had a great attitude but service was slow, likely due to how busy it was. The dining area has a nice atmosphere that is hard to beat, but that alone isn’t enough. I’m not sure if I’ll recommend it to friends anymore, as I expected a lot more based on my past experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Serafini's after a long day of travel, and what a great find! The décor felt authentic, though a bit dated. The food exceeded our expectations, especially the homemade pasta dishes. We tried a variety of entrees and all were delicious. Portion sizes were generous, perfect for sharing among friends. Despite a minor hiccup in service early in our meal, our waitress quickly recovered and was pleasant throughout the evening. I would absolutely revisit this gem when passing through Erie again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Serafini's! The meatballs were phenomenal, and the garlic bread was divine. The atmosphere takes you back to an old Italian kitchen, which adds to the overall experience. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable about the menu, helping us choose the best dishes. I particularly enjoyed the seafood options, which were fresh and well-prepared. My only complaint would be that the portions were so generous that I couldn't finish my meal! Definitely looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Serafini's has earned its spot as a must-visit Italian restaurant in Erie. The service staff was friendly, although at times spread thin. The eggplant parmesan was to die for, perfectly cooked and generously sized. The ambiance had a vintage charm that adds to the atmosphere. The homemade pasta is a standout feature, and you can tell they take pride in their recipes. I might suggest expanding the dessert menu; I would love to see more variety. Still, excellent experience, and I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Serafini's never disappoints! I've been coming here for years now and the food always hits the spot. The wedding soup is a must-try, and their homemade bread can’t be beaten. I appreciate how the staff always remembers my favorite dishes, making it feel like home. The food portions are huge, so be sure to arrive hungry! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for both family gatherings and casual date nights. I'm already looking forward to my next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing great things about Serafini's and finally got the chance to try it. The spaghetti and meatballs were decent, but the tomato sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was friendly but inconsistent, and I found the atmosphere a bit crowded for my liking. The portion sizes were generous, though. Still, I was left wanting a bit more from the flavors. I might come back, but it won't be at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)
