If you're a Black person, please do not waste your time at this restaurant. We sat at the table for 30 plus minutes before our order was taken. Our waiter tended to every single table repeatedly before he came to our table going back and forth about 8 times before addressing us. I should have read the reviews but didn't. I've been to PR numerous times before but never have I felt like the other. I bought filet mignon that was hard as a rock. It was so hard I couldn't chew. The waiter said you ordered well done.. I actually ordered medium well, but he was so busy catering to every single other customer my order was horribly done. The restaurant did good by not charging me, but the treatment was what really made me want to pay the bill and leave. The 18% gratuity added on for horrible service didn't help. read more

Dined here with a party of four on the last night of our vacation to Puerto Rico and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish! The decor is tropical and the place has a Miami vibe, from the lively music to the fun staff. It's on a lively block in Condado. I recommend an outdoor table so you can people watch while you dine. Our server was excellent and we felt welcome and well cared for throughout the meal. The restaurant is trendy yet not too clubby and it would be a perfect place for a fun date! Drinks: we had regular margaritas and a jalapeno margarita, both were excellent. I love spicy drinks and food so the jalapeno marg was great for me but no one else could stand the heat! Food: Fresh bread with olive oil & balsamic on the side -good but a bit tough and chewy Burrata cheese with cherry tomatoes- served refreshingly cold, great texture and the mild cheese pairs perfectly with the fresh cherry tomatoes Tagliolini- similar to fettucine alfredo, perfectly cooked pasta and well seasoned sauce, very rich and creamy Paglia & Fieno - lighter than the tagliolini so it's not so rich, the basil flavor really comes through in every bite and perfectly cooked pasta in this dish as well Dessert: we didn't order dessert because everyone was full from dinner Prices: prices are on par with Ocean Drive in Miami so be ready to spend! Appetizer ~$20, drink ~$15, small pasta dish ~$20, side of spinach $10, side of mashed potatoes $8, etc. As you can see, you're paying for the location and scene, not just food, but that's too be expected in this area. Tip: After you are completely stuffed from the delicious food at dinner, take a walk through the La Concha hotel (attached to this restaurant). The lobby is absolutely beautiful, the pool area contains many areas to lounge and relax and the decor is stunning there as well, especially the view from the top level infinity pool. The hotel is right on the beach so you can get a drink from one of the three bars and go for a walk on the beach, or go for a walk around the neighborhood. It is well lit and there are lots of people of all ages everywhere so it feels very safe. Also check out the other beautiful hotels in the area, interesting shops and bars, and the oceanfront park a couple blocks away! read more

Had a few incidents , came here to visit for a week. The food was had no flavor. The service was great until i noticed my bank statement when i got home. Originally i paid 77 for my meal which is very reasonable. But had another bill separate for 312 dollars. Called numerous of times but they hanged up on me numerous of times read more

I came here for brunch and had a great time with friends. I only had drinks and it was amazing! There food looked great and the service was amazing. The scenery is beautiful and perfect for photos. My friends and I dressed up and came back a few days later for dinner. We sat at the bar and the waiter consistently got our order wrong. Service was slow and he didn't offer any discount. I was exhausted by his uncaring demeanor and nonchalant attitude about our service. It was disappointing because I went back there based on my day time experience. The food was not what we ordered but was tasty. The appetizers arrived after my meal. I told the waiter we no one get wanted it and he had an attitude about it. I don't know if I'll return based on my experience read more

I came to San Juan on a trip with some friends and as we left our hotel 'The Vanderbilt' we wanted to walk the strip to find food and the first spot you notice immediately is Serafina in big blue letters. The warm patio outdoor seating draws you in! I love the vine plants that climb throughout. It really gives you the feel of the Caribbean. I ordered the lobster linguine my friend ordered the fillet mignon with mash potatoes and spinach. The meat was so tender and delicious!Seems like everything you order there is good. I had the meatballs the next day and took home a meatless pizza. The drinks are not watered down and the employees are great! The ambiance made us want to order rounds and rounds of drinks! I had a blast! All smiles! read more

The service was disorganized and the food tasted mediocre. I arrived in time for my reservation but was still made to wait ~15 min while the ladies up front...hung around. We were seated outside where the trailing greenery was nice but weren't waited on until we flagged someone down and asked who our waitress was. The food was just okay given it's price. The chicken in particular would've been better with some sauce. I left feeling still hungry and unsatisfied. read more

I really enjoyed this place! I sat at the bar since I was in town for work and dining alone. I was acknowledged by the bartender pretty quickly and she set my placemat up and handed me a menu. She put a water down in front of me quickly. You get a bread basket! I ordered the lobster ravioli and it was delicious. The bartender offered me fresh grated Parmesan cheese quickly after as well. She kept my drink full and checked on me a few times. She was making small talk with a customer right next to me that seemed to be a regular. All and all, the overall restaurant is nice. Large space with patio seating and the bar is both inside and outside. My service was great from the bartender - she was urgent and friendly - and the food was great and a good portion. I was in and out with no problems and in a timely manner! I will definitely be back at some point to try something else from the menu! read more

Good cocktails. The food is not bad, if you don't mind waiting 40+ minutes after ordering during a not-so-busy lunch and an hour+ wait at dinner. Would not return because of that. read more

We came here because we saw it all over tik tok. This place is just your basic Italian food. They have cool pizzas but nothing really too extraordinary . The service was okay, we went in on a busy night so I can't complain too much about how much attention we got. The ambiance was nice we & saw a lot of people celebrating special occasions. This is Definitely more of a touristy spot and wouldn't really recommend when there is so much better to try in Puerto Rico. read more

Great food. Pasta and seafood were so fresh and cooked perfectly. Drinks were a little pricey but overall a great experience

1. The location is great for tourists staying on Ashford Ave. However, it shouldn't be confused for the Serafina hotel. They're two separate entities! 2. I loved the laidback, breezy vibe of the outdoor seating area. It is right on the road so it can be a bit loud. The music was also a bit loud but it was fun nonetheless. It's the perfect spot for a day party, or for tourists looking to day drink. 3. The service was excellent. The GM was so friendly and welcoming, and the server was fantastic. 4. I ordered the asparagus soup and warm goats cheese & spinach salad. DAMN is all I have to say. They were both s'good! I will definitely be craving that salad again soon. 5. The prices were reasonable, in my opinion. 6. The menu is big. Salads, soups, pasta, pizza, seafood -- so many options! They have something for every dietary restriction. 7. I went during the day so I can't say much about the night vibe but I can guess that it's probably poppin'. read more

Food was amazing and the ambiance was incredible. If I'm ever in Puerto Rico again I'll be going back here

Serafina was AMAZING. I've been to their Boston location but definitely saw this the menu in PR is more extensive. I got the mushroom ravioli and it was a 10/10. I'm not vegetarian but I love mushrooms so I opted for it and I'm so glad. It had a white sauce on top, almost like a super creamy Alfredo. read more

The best meal we had while in San Juan! I have allergy restrictions (gluten and dairy) and our waitress was very knowledgable and ensured that I would be able to eat something that wouldn't make me sick. Serving sizes were amazing and we left very happy. read more

Serefina is a beautiful indoor/outdoor patio restaurant outside of La Concha Renaissance. We decided to grab "happy hour" there after a dip in the pool. We were seated promptly as the restaurant hadn't picked up yet around 5:30pm. Shortly thereafter our server came by and took our drink order. We learned there was only a happy hour drink, Peroni, rather than a food menu. Our drink orders were dropped off and then another gentleman came around to take our order. There was no mention of our waiters switching so we were a little confused. We went with a burratta as we wanted more a snack and had dinner plans later. Fifteen minutes later to our unexpected surprise we had bread, olive oil and balsamic at our table. I was starving after a long day of being in the water so I was grateful but it would've been great getting it closer to our arrival to give us time between eating it and getting our order. As is the theme everywhere in PR service is on the laid back side, expect to wait. We got our burrata and really enjoyed it and scarfed it up! The restaurant at this point was full and lively. Loved the decor and ambiance, open and airy space. I think service could be worked on. It was apparent that our waiter did not appreciate us asking other waiters for things but until we did, we wouldn't see him around us. That was a bit awkward. read more

OVERALL: While ambiance and service were A+, we were disappointed by the food (besides the big pizza, which was very good). -- Food: Hit or miss. We got the big pizza to start, which was delicious, and excited us for the rest of the meal. However, most of the other things we got were mediocre. I got the calzone, which was filled with cheese and not much else. I expected a folded pizza but ended up with a high-end mozzarella stick! Ambiance: Super nice! There's both outdoors and indoors seating. Service: Amazing! Our waiter was super attentive and friendly throughout the meal. read more

Waiter was excellent. Goat cheese, arugula, honey pizza was delicious. Fun atmosphere.

Was a bit skeptical with the reviews but turned out to be a pretty good experience. We arrived a few mins early for our reservation and were seated right away. It was fairly slow, Thursday dinner around 7pm. The ambiance was awesome. Very clean, great music and a good vibe. We sat indoors as outside was a bit loud and muggy due to humidity. Appetizers were good. We had the meatballs and calamari. Drinks were okay. The sangria were tasty. For dinner I had the pizza, cousin had the margarita pizza and our wives had a chicken bacon pasta. No complaints. I informed the server we were celebrating my cousins birthday and she brought out a sparkler with dessert. Overall it was enjoyable. For the price it could've been better but would try again. read more

The food was really good. I ordered the CHICKEN LINGUINE ALLA CARBONARA and it was delicious! The passion fruit mojitos were amazing, and they were playing bad bunny. read more

Really loved this place. It gets BUSY later in the evening and I can see why. Drinks are good Food is good and pricing isn't bad at all. Try the truffle fries with Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes - it's amazing! Could of just had that and been fine. Would highly recommend Sit inside though. It's on a very busy street so it's constantly people walking by. read more

As others have pointed out the atmosphere here is so top-notch! The menu and the food are solid/good but not excellent. In a time of celebrity chefs and fast moving understandings of food, this place feels a little dated. One of the strengths is their truly diverse, light and lighthearted pizza menu! Weaknesses would be several of their pastas - the red clam sauce linguine is a touch uninspired and Farfalle with the lemon sauce could be so good but arrived with a slightly tough over cooked shrimp. Overall though this place has so much going for it that with a little fresh air in the menu it will be a true catch... read more

Absolutely the best tunes. Really good cocktails and everyone eating at the restaurant seem to be happy and pumped to be there. I swear I was Shazaming every single song that was playing. It's so lively inside and outside. I was sad that I had to use a QR code instead of a menu but I understand because of Covid. Their precautions were excellent-- you had to show your vaccine card to be entered into the restaurant. If you sat inside you got the breeze from outside because they keep the big doors open. I got the tuna tartare to start. It was okay. For dinner I got the lemon bowtie with shrimp. So tasty and definitely hit the spot after a long beach day in the sun. Later towards around 8 PM and after there was a long line to be sat! No one was really waiting around that much and they could seat people as they walked in. Everyone was dressed up in fun clothes, you could tell it's a good place to bring friends for a yum fun dinner before a night out. My biggest complaint is the wait. We waited at least 30 minutes to even order an appetizer when the restaurant wasn't even full. And then even longer to order our main meals. I wish the staff was a bit more attentive to customer needs. read more

I had the Pasta Alla Carbonara and it was delicious. One of the best pastas I've ever had. I would easily give it a 9.5/10. The flavor was there and it was a good sized portion. I had the Passion Mojito and the Serafina Champagne (their specialty drink) and they were both really good. Everyone enjoyed their meals a lot. IMPORTANT: they were playing House/Dance music in the restaurant pretty loudly. My friends and I (early 20s) were 4 Mojitos in so we enjoyed it but not everyone may enjoy loud music at dinner so keep that in mind. Also, beware of the automatic 18% service charge. read more

I bet the 3.5 star is because of the service, not the food. But in my visit, both service and food are good. Location: Serafina is absolutely in a great spot. They have both indoor and outdoor space where you can enjoy your food. Of course, drinks are necessary here. They have plenty choices for white, red, and cocktail. Food is good - we had CALAMARI, SPAGHETTI ALL'ARAGOSTA and RAVIOLI 'DEGLI INNAMORATI'. All tastes delicious. Calamari's sauce is one of the kind that made calamari taste even better. SPAGHETTI ALL'ARAGOSTA is totally immersed with lobster flavor that once you start to eat, you do not know how to stop. When it came to RAVIOLI 'DEGLI INNAMORATI, I am already in a food coma phase but the dense and full of another round of eagerness of eating lobster is still on. So , why not. It turns out that here, it never disappoint. Still good, still delicious. Service: we were here on thanksgiving and I just want to say, thank you Price is bit pricy but it's a good place to try in san juan. Overall: it's good~ 4 stars read more

¡Excellente! I can't say enough good things about this place. Atmosphere? Cocktails? Service? Food? To die for! We had appetizers of Burrata and Bruchetta. Both amazing. Our entrees were Seafood Fettucini, Bronzino, and Steak and Frites. All mouth watering and perfectly cooked. We finished with Creme Brûlée and taramisu. Both yummy, but we couldn't stop scraping the plate of the creme brûlée. We left full and happy. Highly recommend! If possible, make a reservation. The wait can be a hurdle otherwise. read more

This place has a very nice vibe, especially if you're lucky enough to get outside seating. The drinks were very good. I recommend the strawberry basil drink. It's very sweet but very good and you will feel very nice after 3 of them. The calamari was cooked perfectly. The Margherita pizza was not exactly Margherita pizza but tasted amazing. My fiancé got the steak and I got the chicken bacon pasta (I asked for no bacon) it was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend read more

Made a reservation for two people the day of and arrived about 5 mins early and they sat us right away. Our server was nice but it was a little difficult to understand him because it was a little loud in the outdoor seating area. My mom shared a pizza but if you have a big appetite you could totally finish one yourself! We got the Margherita pizza and it was amazing! One of the best we have had. We could see the big pizza oven from our table so that was cool! The outdoor area was a little loud but it was beautiful. It has pretty vines and plants covering the pergola. read more

Im a little late writing this review since my actual experience here have been a few months back (August '24) but I still felt compelled to write this review before this year ended.. I came to Serafina along with my sister for her birthday dinner which only consisted of just the two of us, from the beginning of our reservation to the end the service was absolutely horrible! That night in particular we had one of the most rudest, inconsiderate waitresses I've ever experienced, not only did she put in the wrong drink order for my sister (which we didn't make a big spectacle of at the time since it seemed like a minor mistake) she also proceeded to put in the wrong food orders for the both of us as well! When we expressed to the person who brought the food out to us that the order was indeed incorrect and that we couldn't even identify what the dishes that were brought out to us was, the guy ended up telling the waitress that it was incorrect which she then proceeded to make her way to our table angrily and decided to tell us that it was basically our fault because that was the order we gave her WHICH WAS COMPLETELY NOT TRUE! Even in the midst of us being completely upset and confused with her demeanor towards us we calmly tried to tell her the correct order we gave her which was a simple chicken linguine (nothing complicated at all) ! Keep in mind, for a good 5 mins she kept trying to go back and forth with us about how we gave her the wrong order INSTEAD of being apologetic and trying to fix her own wrongdoing like most waitress would try to do.. after our back and forth and she finally ended up putting in the correct order which we had to wait another 30+ mins later for, the food came out and was pretty good but for the service we've received that night it came with a headache right along with it.. for the rest of our reservation it was completely uncomfortable and awkward! At that point we weren't even in the mood to eat the rest of our food and was ready to go but it seem like it took forever for her to come back to our table so we can pay for our food and leave! Realistically I wish we left as soon as she approached us about the incorrect order but we felt compelled to stay considering the day and time we chose the reservation for many restaurants were closed or closing at that point so felt like we had no choice.. nether less we ended up leaving with a terrible taste in our mouths for sure! Serafina would never have to worry about receiving our service or our coins ever again read more

I have eaten here 4 or 5 times on business trips.... the foods very good and the service from the staff is always friendly and inviting.

Absolutely delicious! Pizza and salad were extremely fresh tasting. Service was extraordinary. I highly recommend Serafina!!

Horrible service, noisy and food quality was extremely poor. I ordered some spinach and cheese raviolis which were cold and with basically no filling. The sauce was watery. read more

Excellent staff and food consistently good. We went 3 times. Pizza excellent, pasta homemade and burgers very good!

I'm not sure why this place is 3.5 star rated but it fully deselected a 5/5 for today. Great music, quick and attentive service, I would highly recommend checking this place out. I had the pizza margarita and my friends had the filet and clams. It was delicious and I was very surprised with the pizza of how good it was. Definitely a must check out place.

Very chic spot in the Condado. Reservations strongly recommended. Service was on point, from host to wait staff. Food (we had steak and eggs and French toast) was excellent, cooked to requested temp and lovely presentation. Only neg, Had to ask for salt and pepper, and then didn't get to keep it :-( I like to salt my steak one piece at a time and another waiter came by and requested it. Comfortable environment, good music track. Will be back (because we got reservations for dinner next week, nothing available this weekend). read more

We enjoyed the outside patio setting here for dinner one night, and appreciated the attentive service. I highly recommend the tuna tartar appetizer and I enjoyed the vegan spaghetti squash "pasta" dish. I am not vegan (just have a dairy allergy) but moreso welcomed a lighter dish after a week of heavier Puerto Rican food. Spaghetti squash was cooked perfectly. read more
