    YE Gurl Says: Miami Nights & Moody Bites at Serafina Miami Place: Serafina Miami - Miami, FL Date: November 2025 Still sun, still surf, still outside--and somehow Miami always understands the assignment. Already familiar with Serafina from NYC, I was hype to see one within walking distance of our hotel. Reservation secured, expectations set--and let me tell you, they delivered. If sexy and moody were a restaurant, this would be it. Think red drapery, soft lighting, chandeliers, and that dim glow that makes everything (and everyone) look just a little better. There's indoor and outdoor seating, but after a quick scan of the "dogs on dates" situation happening outside (Miami, explain yourself), I was perfectly content staying inside. For the meal, I went with the seafood pasta, while the beau ordered the sole. We're sharers over here--especially at new spots--so of course we swapped bites. And honestly? Both dishes held their own. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a place that leans into elevated Italian with a coastal twist. The energy? Perfect for a date night, girls' night, or just feeling like you're that girl for the evening. Add in some good people-watching and a warm Miami night, and you've got a whole vibe. YE Gurl says: When you want ambiance and execution, Serafina Miami is a solid yes. Come for the mood, stay for the food--and maybe leave the dog at home.

    Happened to be in the area and in search of a good happy hour. Turns out when we went, it's only available if you sit at the bar but it was already pretty full. We wanted to sit outdoors but there was a private event going on so we sat inside instead. We got crispy calamari to start and then for my entree I ordered the fettuccine pasta with filet bites. The meat was delicious, even the chicken Parmesan was tasty. Overall, I think i wasn't able to enjoy 100% of the establishment so perhaps next time i can order something else and be able to take advantage of their happy hour

    While visiting Miami we had a nice and delicious lunch at this restaurant. The service was kind and attentive. We started with an italian tomato soup which was so delcious, very big portion, so we shared it. I had a steak which was delicious with steamed veggies. My husbamd had the Lasagna, he enjoyed it a lot. You get very generous portions for sure and food is well made and tasty. We enjoyed our time here very much!

    Pretty nice ambiance, service and overall good food Other than the one time they have kind of stopped making the pasta at your table but did not reduce the price. We've gone 3 more times and they didn't make the cheese wheel pasta at your table like they did the first time we came. Kind of defeats the purpose and price to be honest I do like that they finally have mocktails now

    Food: Some of the best pasta I have had in my life. Quite pricey at around $38 however, it was worth every penny and will be back during my next visit to south florida Service I ordered the lobster ravioli and the server accidentally mistook it for lobster linguine. mistakes happen but he also messed up one side of our ribeye steaks. aside from that the service was fairly attentive and very nice spoken and polite. Ambiance very nice looking restaurant and a quite amusing atmosphere within the men's restroom.

    Always so good. The food was delicious, especially the truffle carpaccio and the truffle pizza, both were unreal. Service was on point too, super attentive and made everything smooth. Definitely going back.

    Best Italian restaurant I've been to this year. Sebastian is the best quick on his feet. The food was amazing. My pasta was amazing and the eggplant.

    Recovery Dinner This place was so excellent. I came here after my surgery and I truly enjoyed myself. Also, if you are with Yelp and you check in, you. Do get a complimentary play some champagne which I thought was excellent. The food was amazing. The customer service was even better. What more can you ask for? This place was very classy and full of color. The daycore was very original in authentic, If i'm ever in the area again i'mas definitely will come back. This is a must try if you ever find yourself in the area.

    My family and I went to Serafina Miami for Mother's Day lunch, and it was amazing! Serafina is located in Aventura mall. Serafina has a modern Italian waterfront ambience with bright colors. I highly recommend making reservations because Serafina does get crowded. Our waiter was great; he helped us navigate through the menu and accommodated all of our needs. The food was amazing, and the portions were huge. My favorite was the shrimp salad and rigatoni pasta which were packed with flavor paired well with their focaccia bread, and filling. Serafina also has a great buffet brunch that I cannot wait to try so I definitely will be returning.

    Such a lovely experience at Serafina! This lively Italian restaurant has a fun, welcoming vibe with the cutest ambiance--perfect for a night out or a special dinner. Our server was fantastic--super attentive and friendly, which made the night even better. We ordered the cacio e pepe, and watching it get prepared right in front of us in the cheese wheel was such a cool touch. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. We also had the chicken Milanese, Caesar salad, and a side of meatballs--everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the quality in every dish. Can't wait to come back and try more. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Italian food done right!

    Nowhere on the menu does it have mozzarella in  focaccia di sofia?

    soooooo This pains me to write this review I've been going to Serafina in New York City for 30 years , but every time I come to Miami, I go to the Serafina in the Aventura mall because it has been better than my local New York Serafina !! I have been to this AVENTURA Serafina 15 times in the past two years . Today I went to Serafina Aventura to get my same meal that I get every single time. The Caprese salad and focaccia di sofia..... I literally drive from my hotel in Miami Beach to Aventura mall for this meal It's usually a 45 minute drive, but today was an hour and 45 minutes. No big deal because I was excited for my meal ...I sat down at the table ordered my meal. What came out was NOT focaccia di sofia but it was a pizza with mozzarella inside of it .... I asked to speak to the manager and explain that this is not focaccia di sofia which he informed me that they recently changed the menu but they kept focaccia di sofia on the menu because it was so popular ... I said that's great but this is definitely not focaccia di sofia..... In his condescending Italian accent, he said "no, but it is...IT IS maybe you are incorrect ... I then pulled up a picture for him of what focaccia di sofia actually looks like ...( see below ) I said Sir I've been coming to this restaurant for 30 years. This is not. focaccia di Sofia He insisted that it was and then said it's a mix of cheeses... I immediately pointed out that that's not what the menu says... He asked me if he could make it again.... I said of course, because that's why I came here.... To my immediate confusion, they brought another pizza back out to me, but now the cheese was on top of Dough at that point there is no reason for me to go any further with the conversation because if the manager doesn't know what it is forget it.... Hopeless The staff was great but it's like they're all missing a step. The vibe was off. The atmosphere was off. There is fake cheesy dusty flowers over the Serafina sign. It's lost its pizzazz.... So below is a picture of what the REAL focaccia di sofia looks like and there is a photo of what was brought to me, not once but twice .....once with mozz cheese inside of it and once with mozzarella cheese on top of it focaccia di sofia DOES NOT HAVE MOZZZZZZZ AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE MANAGER, BUT HE WAS HELL-BENT ON TELLING ME THAT I WAS WRONG.

    Had a great time at Serafina...our waiter was wonderful and the food was delicious. The cacio de Pepe was awesome (get the table side presentation). The tartare needed salt but I added salt and balsamic and it came out perfect.

    Special of the Day - Italian Imported Buffula Mozzarella and Prosciutto.

    My wife and I decided for a quick pit stop dinner date while finishing some shopping. We stopped by Serafina because it is further away from the main food area and always has great food. Food: 5 out of 5 - My wife and I have yet to have a bad food experience here. We got two entrees and an appetizer as well as two drinks (one Shirley temple and a glass of wine). The drinks came out quickly and the appetizer followed soon after. The mozzarella and prosciutto were amazing. Usually my wife gets the Penne Vodka, but today she decided to get the Cacio E Pepe. It was amazing. Not only do they prepare the food in front of you, it smells and looks amazing. This was the star of the dinner. Absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. I picked the chicken parmasean and while it was flavorful, it wasn't anything special. Both portions were large enough for an extra day of leftovers. Service: 5 out of 5 - Our waiter was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and was quick to check with the kitchen for any food allergies or restrictions. He was extremely attentive and went out of his way to make sure we felt welcomed. One of the best service we've had at restaurants in this mall. Ambiance: 3 out of 5 - Usually this place is extremely busy, but today it was a bit quieter. The inside of the restaurant is shielded away from the foot traffic so diners can eat their food without being watched, but the noise of the mall still makes it harder to hear when having a conversation. There is a great outdoor area, but it is difficult to eat there during the summer when we went.

Whatever happened since then--new ownership, a bad night, a kitchen that forgot it was open--it was a complete collapse. I walked in at 5:45 p.m., not opening or closing time. The room looked half-abandoned. Decorations were only partly put up; the rest were dumped around like someone had given up mid-job. TVs sat dark with error screens. The pizza oven was off and covered. That should have been the warning. I ordered pizza anyway. They fired the oven after I ordered. What came out was the worst thing I've been served here. The crust was doughy. The chorizo was room temperature and clearly thrown on after the pie left the oven. No check-in from the waiter while I sat with it. When it was obvious I was done, she came back to upsell dessert. I said no and told her the food was horrible. No apology. No offer to fix it. Just silence at the register. Twenty-plus good visits don't buy this. I won't be back.

The staff was attentive from the start, and our waiter offered excellent recommendations. We were a party of five, and although not everyone had arrived yet, we began with drinks and a few antipasti. We ordered the burrata, which was incredibly silky and flavorful--even for someone who doesn't usually enjoy it, it was delicious. Paired with the olive oil and balsamic on the side, it truly brought all the flavors together. The tiger shrimp dish was also a standout--three large, perfectly cooked shrimp served with a lemon-spiced pasta that complemented it beautifully. Another highlight was an Italian dish stuffed with parmesan and pear, finished with a balsamic cream sauce--it completely stole the table. Absolutely unforgettable. We also enjoyed classics like the bolognese and cacio e pepe, along with a gem salad topped with avocado and shaved almonds. Every dish was rich in flavor and thoughtfully prepared--this place is truly impressive when it comes to taste. And the drinks! I'm not much of a drinker, but every cocktail looked stunning, and my group thoroughly enjoyed each one (apologies for not remembering the names!). Overall, you will not be disappointed dining here. The only thing to keep in mind is that it can be a bit pricey--so I recommend reviewing the menu ahead of time so you can plan accordingly and fully enjoy the experience.

The salad was okay. I didn't remember seeing there was blue cheese on it on the menu. Pears seemed under ripped and $27 for that salad seems like a rip off.
