Food was overall not good. It was ok but not at all impressive! We were in hotel and wanted something close by. I wouldn't waste my money!

Very cool spot with a great outdoor seating area and bar. The food was amazing! We had the steak salad and the seafood risotto. So much flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Overpriced and loud. The burata salad was very good, and twice as much as I've paid elsewhere. The lasagna was tasty, but more like an Italian meatloaf with a couple lasagna noodles in it. It, too, was grossly overpriced. The service was good, but the whole experience was not worth it. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Excellent Italian food for PR and the atmosphere and service excellent. Strongly recommend read more

Serafina - CHICKEN LINGUINE ALLA CARBONARA - Italian Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Arrived and was told i could not have the outside table i requested, no reason given. After some insistence got the outside table. We were not given menus, no barcode on table. Very poor welcome. I ordered linguini Vongole (clams). Dish was tasteless. No salt, cheese, and clams were cold. Wife ordered rigatoni bolognese, seasoned correctly, but the ground beef was very oily. If youve had good italian in the states... this is not it. 40 peeps outside waiting to get in, must be there first time, because once and done. Waiter was nice, hostesses not great. read more

Serafina - Outside restaurant - Italian Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Where should I start? My wife wanted to try this place and upon being seated after our vaccination cards were requested, we were seated on the outside at a table for two. Immediately the vibes were felt. We ordered drinks, I the espresso martini and her the Caipiroska, both drinks were presented and delivered in a timely manner. We ordered the Vongole appetizer and what came was from Poseidon himself and the clams that of Aphrodite on a plate with a kick of spice with garlic and parsley and red chili flakes on the aphrodisiacs. Twas fantastic. Two seraphim came and bestowed upon us our sustenance, the lady was bequeathed a plate of lobster ravioli and myself a dish of the fruits of the sea. For about 15 minutes we were transported to the astral realm in which the dieties of food presented us their gifts upon our tastebuds whilst the ballads of Bad Bunny and Raw Alejandro were jamming g in the background. It was truly an experience. Ps "Why eat Italian food in Puerto Rico?" Just do it read more

I came here with a date and was actually quite impressed. The backdrop is a bit strange: a little bit of Puerto Rico deco mixed with Italian flair with loud dance club music. What I didn't care for were the drinks. My mojito tasted bland, if that was possible. But the food and service is where this gets a four star. We ordered calamari, grilled chicken salad with pine nuts and a delicious pasta dish with a cream sauce similar to alfredo. And there were peas. I love peas! A little bit loud to have a romantic dinner date but a great option if you're the area with some friends and want to grab some pretty tasty food. read more

Very average food. We came with a party of 6 and we're grateful we could be seated within 10 minutes. The inside is beautiful and their menu is really nice. We started off with bruschetta and tuna tartare both of which were okay. For dinner we got pasta pomodoro, pasta with bolognese sauce, truffle risotto and a margarita pizza. None of the food was but nothing floored us either. Service was friendly. read more

Applesbee's with a Gucci belt will be best to describe this restaurant and that might be too generous as I had better meals at Applebees. The only good thing I have to say about this place is the aesthetic and decor which was really nice and modern. What we ordered: - VIP Margherita Pizza. The only thing my partner ate. $22 - Chicken Linguini Al la Carbonara. Uncooked chicken with soft bacon with canned Alfredo sauce with Linguini pasta. It was barely edible. $28 -Branzino. Completely inedible. It was so bad. The fish was bland. The butter/garlic sauce had zero flavor. 2 bites were taken. $34 - (2) cocktails - (2) Medalla Beers Total: $220. The most expensive meal I ate in Puerto Rico and by far the worst. Please avoid at all cost. read more

Ambiance is beautiful but that's about it. Food was average. The price is $$$ not $$. And they add a ton in taxes. Came in here craving pizza. I mean how can an Italian place get pizza wrong. We liked the thin crust but there really wasn't any flavor. The side salad was just spring lettuce mix with a little carrot for $7.50. Come on now. Service was really slow. Had to ask our server twice for the drink we ordered. I'd recommend going someplace else. read more

If your looking for some amazing authentic pasta, this spot is the spot! Our last night in PR we was craving Italian pasta, and right in front of our hotel was this gem! I did replace the chicken with chorizo and it was soooo good ! read more

This place is a vibe. Pretty good Italian food in the Condado area and a nice selection of drinks. The service was great and they gave us a little extra attention due to the kids which was really nice. Ordered bruschetta to start, Cesar salad, orecchiette and a small cheese pie. Everything was great but could've been really good if they reduced the salt in the bruschetta and the orecchiette, otherwise it was a good time with nice music. We'll be back again! read more

SUPER SLOW SERVICE Simply don't. Service is terribly slow. - 20+ minutes to get our drink order - 90+ mins to get our food. - Guy at the table across from us was ASLEEP in his chair because of how long it took to get their food. - don't waste several hours of your day here. - weren't offered water, we had to ask for water. - no regular check ins - not even for drink refills. Overall not an enjoyable experience. Friday at 3pm. Not busy at all - perhaps 6 tables with people at them. Sad. read more

Delicious! Towards the end of our stay we were craving brick oven pizza and this hit the spot. For cocktails my husband got an old fashioned and I got a bubbly drink that was delicious. We split the Caesar salad and sausage mushroom pizza and both were sooo yummy. Our server was very nice and the atmosphere is beautiful! read more

Absolutely the worst experience ever! Do not go to this place. I was told at 10:24pm that the kitchen closes at 10:30pm and that they will not be seating me or serving me. I explained that I was still 6 minutes before closing. They said the place closes at 11pm. Contradicting their story. I was alone, the manager came out to talk to me. He refused to seat me he said they ran out of food. But after I persisted he said he could do my order to go. I was enraged. So, how you have food to go but not to dine in? They had no regard for anything. Completely could care less. How is this possible? I'm embarrassed to be visiting my own island on vacation and to be treated so damn poorly. This place is a total disgrace to customer service. read more

Given all that is going on with COvID, They did amazing; two lines for entry and exit. Temps taken at host station. The food was amazing , my server was excellent and the ambiance overall outside was perfect. Would highly Recommend if you love Italian! read more

Dinner from hell. After waiting for our server for 20 minutes, they not have everything on the menu (any pizza). Service was too slow, we waited 15 min for a water refill. it took an hour to get our food. $28 for pasta that won't fill you up. Not worth the money. The younger servers need better training. read more

I ear from this place a lot and finally went last night . Never go after 9 pm the crew think is a reggaeton party or something , can't even have a conversation because music went super loud . The waitress took for ever to take our order , even just to bring water , menu is great but the quality unfortunately is not great , tuna tartar the taste is like a old fish , the ravioli where extremely al dente . Pizza took for ever and was not totally cook. Waitress looks like went home she was miss for like a hour. I recommend more local restaurants them this If I was the owner of this place I will definitely go more often . Too expensive for a bad experience. read more

We received a suggestion to go here from the hotel where we are staying. The restaurant is really well done (decor) and has a cool ambience. We order the filet mignon burger. I should have specified how I wanted it cook because it was essentially rare. I still ate most of it, but it was average. My husband ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and it was pretty good. Sage 7 was the best drink we tried. Our server was attentive, but the drinks took awhile to get to us. Same with food, although that's we've learned to expect in PR. read more

Italian food in Puerto Rico... kinda funny. This restaurant was fabulous. Sat outside near the pizza oven. Enjoyed the ambiance, servers were fantastic. Very attentive. The calamari was delicious, tuna tartar was fabulous, salads were great. The girls had pizza which they declared the best ever, and penne with red sauce. Two Pina Coladas were so refreshing and smooth. The girls ordered dessert, and ended up ordering a second out was so good!! Everything there was delicious, great experience, excellent food, service, etc.. Within walking distance of the Vanderbilt. Highly recommend eating here, even though it does seem odd to travel here for Italian food. We were planning on eating authentic Puerto Rican food... but this was worth the change!! read more

Bruschetta was decent, however the Burrata was ultimately disappointing, and almost a solidly congealed center, didn't run at all - as if it had been sitting in an overly cold fridge for 3 weeks. Truffle Risotto was incredible - unfortunately I got sick from the Lobster Ravioli, although they went down flavorful and delicious they didn't come up that way - the only thing that came up only hours later. Service was friendly, bartenders (Christian specifically) was very nice and he made some wonderful cocktails. read more

I've been here many times in the last two years and service was going down, waiters were rude, to the point that I have decided not to go back. Went with a group of friends visiting from US to Texas de Brazil but was closed until further notice. Somebody mentioned Serafina as an option and we went there. To my surprise, all people were knew. So with new waiters/waitresses including new uniforms (nice orange color) I can tell the change was for good. The food was perfect and Johanna gave us an excellent service to the point that she changed our opinion back to good again. Thank you! read more

Popped in for a drink and bruschetta. Lovely signature cocktails. Outdoor covered patio faces busy ashford avenue but us nicely screened. Great pick-up band had staff and customers singing and clapping along. read more

Unfriendly staff. I think owner of the restaurant should more carful pick their staff. Hostess are first impression when you get to the restaurant. They are so unwelcome, restaurant being roots they have refused to seat us. read more

Review solely on service, ordered only a slice of cheesecake- to go and restaurant appearance. First of all, Serafina is located in a beautiful area of Condado, very touristy. The restaurant itself seemed very big, very elegant with beautiful furniture. The hostess took my order she was very polite and promptly brought out my order. We came here on a friend's recommendation specifically for the the cheesecake. Although the cheesecake is very good, smooth and not overwhelmingly sweet, it's not worth $15. Although the menu has other desserts I wasn't able to find this specific desert to verify the price. Oh well. read more

You won't go wrong here. Delicious and food is warm when it arrives to your table. We visited twice while our stay.

Atmosphere of restaurant was beautiful! Able to see 10 people within 5 minutes on a Thursday evening. Comfortable and clean. Food was amazing as I had the seafood festival in a red sauce that's not heavy at all! They were also able to accommodate egg allergy which was great as this is an Italian restaurant! Service was not slow at all and our waitress was amazing! I was surprised no bread for table but needless to say we all ate all of our food. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Considering the location and the hotel they are at, I expected a Fancy experience. Beware, this is not it. They had reggeton blasting thru-out the restaurant, even the waiters were singing some of the songs. While I do enjoy that music, I do not enjoy it while I am having dinner and trying to have some conversations. Do not recommend for a first date! That being said, the food was great, the tuna tartar was my favorite and the calamaris are nice too. Wouldn't recommend the pizza, it was super thin and a bit burned. The desserts are forgettable. The drinks are strong and expensive. read more

Great food and ambiance! My friend and I wanted to kick off our girls trip with a cute and delicious meal. Serafina was perfect. There was no wait when we arrived. We were promptly shown to our seats and given menus. A very nice man assisted with taking our orders and getting our drinks put in because our waitress was tending to other tables. We were given warm, delicious bread with a olive oil and balsamic vinegarette to hold us until our entree. I had IL Calzone without prosciutto on top. It was pretty goodZ the dough was good and the cheese was creamy and rich mozzarella. I also had their house monogamies. It was simple yet very fresh and tasty. My friend had the rigatoni al bolognese. She raved over how delicious it tasted. She also had a passion fruit mojito. Overall the ambiance of the restaurant was the star of the evening. It was well ventilated despite being outside (they do have an inside option), the staff was friendly and attentive, and the incorporation of plants was nice. I enjoyed my meal and I definitely recommend it going forward. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Serafina. I went there for dinner and there was no wait for a table. They have both inside and outside seating and the restaurant is spacious and gives off a welcoming vibe. The service is fast and the servers are very friendly and attentive, they also give great recommendations. I had the Carbonara which is one of the most popular menu items and it was delicious. The serving sizes are very filling and the price aligns with the sizes and location of the restaurant. The restaurant is in a great area and is minutes away from the beach. read more

Food excellent and we tried 3 different dishes. Ate inside. Sidewalk too busy. People walking through to pool, beach, etc. my only complaint was the music was 15% too loud. read more

We ordered Bruschetta for an appetizer however there was no balsamic vinegar on them. When we told our waiter about it, he got upset and rudely brought over the balsamic. I ordered the linguini chicken and carbonara and it was EXTREMELY SALTY. Our food was 5/10 but our service was 1/10. After telling our waiter that our food wasn't correct, that's where it went downhill.. he was extremely rude the rest of our visit. It'll be one thing if we were rude, but we remained kind and friendly with him. Maybe he was having a bad day but he ruin it for us. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

We went to this place on a whim for dinner. We saw the reviews & photos so decided to go. The restaurant was almost empty. Only about 4 tables in the whole place were taken. We asked the hostess for a table & she said they only had tables outside & that the tables inside were a 30 min wait. Literally only one table inside was taken & she had us waiting for 8-10 mins. We decided to leave & go to a different restaurant down the street. Empty restaurant & having us wait 30mins for a table inside is ridiculous. read more

Went there yesterday with my family , great experience . The weather was very nice so we sat outside . The host was very polite sat us right away and chit chat with us welcoming us to PR. Our server was great , the food was of course delicious . We started with the calamari of course which was sooooo delicious a must try btw The passion cocktail was also good I had the orechiette I saw someone else posted here and I'm glad I picked it cause it was good.
