    Great ambience. Very friendly service. Shout out to Max, my brother from Mexico. But a $40 truffle pasta is supposed to be outstanding and it was not. Same thing for the Spaghetti limone. Deserts were perfect though, both nutella focaccia & tiramisu.

    Dined here after visiting Morgan Museum. Very tight spacing for 2, asked for a larger table. Avocado shrimp salad included microscopic shrimp. Coukd have used larger shrimp and less of them, these looked like fish food. Very unimpressed.

    Weer heerlijk gegeten bij Serafina. We zaten met ons zessen in een gezellige ‘booth’, de bediening was perfect en de pizza’s waren lekker.

    Uitstekend gegeten bij Serafina. Heerlijke Spaghetti Aglio & Olio ‘Al Pacino’. Een aanrader. Prijs was redelijk, in vergelijking met andere Italiaanse restaurants.
