Beautiful restaurant on Broadway with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and seated us quickly for dinner. The decor was interesting with blown glass and mosaics. It was casual and comfortable. I ordered the lobster ravioli for dinner which was delicious.
DELECTABLE! Always a little nervous about chain restaurants when you are in a city with amazing local ones. This lived up! The food was amazing and great portion sizes. We loved the Serafina champagne cocktail! The service was alright, they didn't bother us a ton which was great but sometimes hard because we wouldn't see our server for a whirl. The place is super spacious and dim lighting!
Looking for a restaurant in NYC on Christmas Day was not easy so I really appreciate that Serafina was able to accommodate us and they were very nice about it. The food was great, and we enjoyed our meals. However, the service could have been better. Our server seemed to be rushed or rather rushing us. He took our drink order and appetizer order and wanted us to put in the main course already. When I told him we weren't ready and he seemed annoyed. After our food was delievered we didn't seem him again until the check arrived. When we asked about ordering dessert to sing Happy Birthday to my son, he again seemed annoyed. Overall the food was good and again I appreciate that they were able to accommodate us.
One of my favorite restaurants is Serafina on East 61st Street, I have always wanted to try this location, so after theater, we caught a late dinner. It's located on a corner and always seemed packed on most of the evenings that we have passed by it. There is a pretty bar area as we walked in, asked for a larger table as having just sat through an almost two hour play, just wanted to be comfy while enjoying dinner. As it was after nine, the host was accommodating and we were able to sit side by side facing another dining area with a beautiful mosaic of a Blonde woman in sunglasses. The decor, especially the art on the walls in different dining areas and accents of strings of red lights throws off a lot of happy vibes. We ordered the Sofia, which is their Cesar Salad, Pappardelle with a Short Rib Ragu and the Chicken Paillard. The wait staff was good and available when we needed anything. The lettuce in salad was not as crispy as it normally is, could have been because it was late, but the entrees were very good. The Pappardelle had a generous amount of short ribs in the sauce, the ribbons of pasta was cooked nicely. The Chicken Paillard was great, the pounded poultry covered the plate. Also ordered a side of sautéed Artichoke which was beautifully plated with stems on the Artichoke and delicious with the glaze from the olive oil it was cooked in. The waiter came by with the Dessert menu saying it was the last call but maybe next time.
I honestly didn't realize this was a chain but it was new to us so we checked it out. Half of our party ended up at a different one and walked over to meet us at this one. They said that this one served better drinks and was busier. The restaurant is dimly lit with a fun atmosphere. Our service (Ali?) was really great and he provided a lot of great recommendations. We ordered plates and shared a lot of them. The best recommendation they had was chocolate crepe cake on their dessert menu. It was really really good! Also, really enjoyed the meatballs and steak. The chicken parmesan was a healthy serving - definitely share that one!
Idk why this restaurant has low ratings, you gotta take it for what it is which is if you want fast, standard, italian food without dealing with the BS of trying to grab a resy months in advance or wait in line for two hours for the best italian food in nyc, then it gets the job done. Because I can assure you that Serafina is still better than the italian food you'll find at most other states in the US. One of my friends was visiting from San Diego and he's a very picky eater, he even said this blows SD italian food out of the water. They also have a decent amount of vegan options if you're looking for a place that accomodates evryone
After a matinee of "'The Outsiders" a good cry and an excellent nap, i was just going to go back to sleep at 9:30 pm, skipping dinner. Then I remembered that I was in New York on vacation! I popped into this location of Serafina which was open and down the street from my hotel. The bar was lively , but I opted for a table. The Ravioli Degli Innamorati sounded yummy and adorable and did not disappoint! Heart 1shaped, lobster ravioli in a bisque- like sauce. Service was good, particularly for late-night.
Nice ambiance - quality Italian cuisine. Lots of locations and has a wide variety to choose from. Pizza was delicious, and pasta was fresh! Typical service - food was served quick and timely
I love sitting at the bar here and having some fries with a martini. It's cozy and lively without ever being overwhelming. And everyone who works here is the sweetest. I left my phone once and they ran after me in the freezing cold to give it back - the freakin best!
I had a wonderful time at this location. The staff is super friendly and full of infectious joy. When we arrived the place was full but they accommodated us perfectly. Our servers did everything in great timing. We did not feel rushed or as though things were too slow. Everything was well placed, clean and the food was great. I had ordered a tequila martini and was very happy to see that the bartender followed my preference. My service pup (who is in a bag) was also welcomed with open arms. Thank you to the staff for being so warm. I recommend this location 100%
I ordered the steak (medium rare) and fries for lunch. The food came out quickly and everything had nice grill marks on it, even including some slices of zucchini and half a carrot. The steak was good quality, a little undercooked (rare) which didn't bother me but it was heavily peppered which I am not a fan of. Fries were like McDonald's, nice and crispy. Other then the pepper (personal preference), it was a very good meal!
We were walking around Manhattan looking for a place to eat, but so many restaurants had long waits. We stumbled upon this place and they were able to seat us quickly, which already felt like a win. The wait staff was super friendly and welcoming from the start. We ordered the calamari, a Caesar salad, and the vodka pizza and everything was really, really good. The calamari was crispy and fresh, the salad was delicious, the sauce for the calamari was exceptionally good. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and amazing food. So glad we found this spot! Would absolutely come back.
The pizza was great. I was surpised. It was very flavorful, and the dough had good texture. It wasn't New York style like some people might be expecting, but more Italian style. The prosciutto, basil, burrata cheese, sauce, and dough were are flavorful and good complements of each other. The tiramisu was just okay. Not the best I've ever had.

Ambiance is cool. Service is good sometimes, not so others. Food is excellent!! They have vegan options which served our group well. This was the Vegan Spaghetti Squash! Excellent!! Excellent martini's read more
okay now this is genuinely the Cheesecake Factory of nyc - the aesthetic is great, huge dining rooms, a dark wooden wrap around bar, covered outdoor seating lining the street, and lots of tile art inside - the food is not great. we stopped in for lunch &.... blah. the servers were so sweet / attentive although they forgot my americano & brought it out after my food + my dining companions had finished their coffees - however I don't blame the servers for my experience, the food was so bland. the brunch omelette was dry as can be & the herbs might as well have been lettuce with the flavor they brought. there were max 2 bites with enough cheese to bring some flavor. the potatoes & salad were fine - the arugula salad may be the worlds biggest rip off, it is a pile of arugula with 4 cherry tomato's + a piece of lettuce for decoration as though that made the 20 dollar price tag worth it...no protein & a very average thick vinegar dressing - the brunch burger was probably the best item we had but who doesn't love a runny egg and bacon. the meat was a thick bland chunk with a layer of cheese. the fries needed more salt but had a good texture read more
Whilst in Manhattan working, I fancied some Italian fayre during my off time. This was a pleasant spot. Service was fast and to the point. The pasta dish I ordered filled the spot and I was satisfied. The decor was pop arty. read more

We came here for breakfast because we got a coupon from Dream Hotel and I was suspicious. From the outside, it looked like a no-nothing, do-nothing place. But the surprise was mine. I came in and they had a set menu for the coupon. First, they have gluten-free bread as an option. Check 1. Second, they had a couple of things that didn't feature eggs. Check 2. Third, the people who work there are so nice. The host kept checking on us. We ordered a coffee and got the refill. I got the smoked salmon plate, which was good and it had two beefy slices of tomatoes and sliced onions. My husband ate those. They were good. Then they replenished his toast, which was cool. The breakfast was good and filling. My husband enjoyed his omelet and said that he wanted to come back. And we will. This is a place that has a solid breakfast game and I'm willing to come back. read more

A true gem for Italian food lovers! The ambiance is lively and inviting, with a perfect balance of casual and chic. The pasta dishes are always good and flavorful. The service is average but friendly. Tried the chicken parm this time. It was good. Didn't really taste chicken compared to sauce and breading. Would come back. read more

A nice place to relax for a drink and food Old fashion was good. The burger tasted really good and the fries salted nicely. I tried my friend's pasta, which tasted okay for my liking. Overall I would come back for the vibe and try other items on the menu. Our server was friendly and attentive. read more
Got Kids? Take them here. The menu is very kid friendly and the interiors are fun. This restaurant is also a decent pre-theater stop if you are on a time crunch and are not looking to impress. The quality of the food was good. However I found the truffle flavor a little overwhelming in the ravioli dish. As for the cocktail, the martini was strong. You could tell the volume is high at this establishment as service was not as attentive as one would like and the tables are very close to each other. Keep this in mind if you are going to the theater and get your app and entree order in straight away. Decor needs some work / TLC and fluidity as the back area seemed disconnected from the rest from a decor aspect. Serafina definitely has a great location and seems to be successful as they have been long established here. Was just expecting a little more elevation overall. read more

We went to dinner here prior to going to a show nearby. From start to finish the service was very good. The interior was attractive and interesting. We started with the beet salad which was excellent. I had the branding that came with a white wine with cherry tomatoes sauce, asparagus and potatoes. It was cooked the way I like and the taste was great. My friend had the mushroom ravioli and liked it a lot. (we found out that the menu items with a star are favorites so good to know). For dessert my friend had the tiramisu that was excellent and I had the pistachio tart which was quite good. read more
Have you ever eaten something so good, you went back the very next day to order it again? Well that's what happened when we tried Serafina for my daughter's birthday dinner in NYC lol. My daughter loves Italian food and since this restaurant was right around the corner from our hotel, we decided to try it out. As soon as we walked in, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the restaurant was. The dim lighting and the red hues all throughout the dining area really gave a nice vibe. We made reservations for 6:45pm on a Thursday and were seated right away. I ordered the Jalapeño Margarita (my fav) and it did not disappoint. We started with the Calamari and also ordered the Spaghetti Pomodori with Bolognese Sauce, Eggplant Parmigiana and the Spaghetti Carbonara. While we waited, we were served warm bread and olive oil for dipping as well. The Calamari was the perfect appetizer. It was fried perfectly and tasted great with the warm, marinara sauce. The food took a little while to be served but it was absolutely wonderful. The server added fresh Parmesan cheese to our dishes and it enhanced the flavors even more. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana (which isn't served with spaghetti) and savored every, delicious bite. I tasted the other dishes as well and the Spaghetti Carbonara was the best I've ever had. The service at Serafina was great and the food was so amazing, we ordered the same entrees the very next day "to-go" and thoroughly enjoyed it once more. I highly recommend stopping in and trying Serafina, you will not be disappointed!!! read more
Came here on a dinner dater after an NFL game at MetLife. We got there about an hour before our reservation, so the table obviously wasn't ready yet, but we had a drink at the bar while waiting. When we got to the table, we ordered a cheese pizza and prosciutto/burrata to share. For our entrees, I got the penne alla vodka and my boyfriend got the chicken parm. It was my first time here, although I've been to a different location before, but had great experiences at both restaurants! read more
What a lovely evening in NYC! With locations all over the city, Serafina is great place for a delicious meal. We had the Chicken Parmigiana and Rigatoni alla Vodka with Burrata - both top-notch. We finished our meal with a Tirimisu- yummy and beautiful. The espresso martini was the icing on the cake. read more
Good food, good service but they say they'll accommodate spice level and they just didn't. We ordered the Penne al la vodka, spicy (per the menu) and it had no heat at all. Also just kind of expensive for what you get. But the flavors were great and the pasta was high quality. read more
Please forgive the pictures but we were seated in an area where there were a bunch of red lights all around us. I didn't really mind the lighting because we were able to score a table without having a reservation, on a Saturday night in Times Square. No complaints here, at all. The staff worked so well together to make our dining experience really special. We started out with the meatballs. They were absolutely delicious. The marinara was excellent, the meatballs were really good and we enjoyed them very much. For dinner I had the Spaghetti Carbonara. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, just the way I like it. They used bacon instead of the regular Guanciale but I didn't mind it. I still got the smoky goodness that I expected from a good Carbonara. I highly enjoyed this place, it's worth a try for the customer service alone. The amazing food will bring you back again and again! read more

We came from a matinee play and my best friend picked this place to have an early dinner as being said to be one of her favorite Italian restaurants in Theater district. My first dining experience here was good. We were accommodated even half hour earlier to our reserved time. Seating location was not the best but we had great wait staff service. We went straight to our main course and tried their specials of the day-the seafood black linguine and the branzino fillet. Both dishes met our expectations. The fillet was steam cooked to perfection. The pasta has this exemplary sauce that satisfied my taste buds. The salad has sliced avocado on top and made it more enjoyable to eat. The place has nice dining setting, relaxing ambiance and cool vibes. I recommend the place to dine in if within the area. read more

We stopped in after a busy day full of exploring all of the classic New York sights. We visited in the earlier afternoon for a late lunch. It took a bit to be sat, though the restaurant was empty and our waiter took their time to see. Overall the service was not great. We had multiple different people taking care of us and had to stop employees to get our check because we had a plans. The food was just okay. When we decided on a margarita pizza, I had very high expectations. There was four olives and two sprouts of basil. It was a disappointment. The bruschetta was delicious as well as the salad. We will not be visiting again read more
