Serafina is pretty basic but overall the food was good. I've been a couple of times and enjoy the truffle ravioli, as well as the focaccia bread. The focaccia side comes with a ton of bread and is a great value. Other highlights include the cocktails, and the pizza. read more

Best bolognese ever!!! Service is impeccable and staff is always very warm and friendly. They do such a good job with helping you celebrate occasions. Tiramisu is amazing. Love this place! read more

So delicious!! North end is known for its Italian but I'm so glad we held out and went here to Serafina in Seaport instead! Started with the CROSTONE DI SOFIA. The melted abundance of mozerella and prosciutto were the perfect combination! We had the Penne alla vodka (added the meatballs) and the Rigatoni alla bolognese and both were so good! The portions were great and filling and the flavor was just amazing! Ended with the crime brûlée.. chefs kiss! We also had the the bottle of Pinot Noir, Talbott Estate, which paired well with the entire meal. Service and ambiance were excellent! For an Italian dinner at a nicer restaurant, the price points were fair and everything was wonderful! read more

Sat at the bar with some friends and service was amazing. Julian was our bartender and he made the best drinks. We asked for pear martinis (not listed on the menu) and he made amazing ones. Dirty martinis were also great (pictured)! Highly recommend! read more

Came to Serafina for my birthday and left full, happy and kind of obsessed?. My friend could not wait to tell them it was my birthday, which I could have done without, but then they really delivered. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and we got surprise green tea shots (on the house) and a complimentary tiramisu at the end. Pretty sure a few other tables were celebrating too, and they got the same treatment, so it's clear Serafina knows how to make birthdays or other special occasions feel like a thing. For the food...I had the tomato soup to start, which was delicious, and my friends had the short rib arancini, which vanished quickly. For mains, I went with the cacio e pepe and was truly devastated I couldn't finish it because I was so full. My friends had the lemon farfalle and chicken marsala and loved every bite. Bonus points for my cocktail, Lav-ish Behavior. My friend said it was like "silk pajamas," which was very accurate. Feel free to use that on the menu. :) read more

Went with large group of friends. Really loved this restaurant & the atmosphere. Great staff to help. Varieties of food to enjoy. A great place to eat with group of people. read more

Fabulous stop in Boston during my Bachelorette Party! The pasta was to die for, the drinks were delicious, and the ambiance was spectacular. They made it even better by bringing me a dessert with congratulations written on it. The waiter was amazing! Perfect dinner!!! read more

Wowie didn't expect to pay what I paid but expected given it's in Seaport area and its fancy interior. A large group of us came at 11am right when they opened so we didn't have a reservation. Brunch menu was so minimal, almost non-existent but we could order either from that or the regular menu. Drinks were around $15-$17 for mimosas, espresso martinis, Bloody Mary, etc. Food I would say was average. Nothing great, nothing bad. But for the price.. I probably wouldn't come back for something that was just ok and left me full. I didn't think my meatballs were particularly tender or the sauces were much better than some jar sauces read more

The espresso martini saved my experience. It was the perfect amount of creaminess. The spinach and ricotta ravioli was WAY TOO salty. Would not order again. I had to add balsamic glaze just to make it the slightest better. Ambiance was good though. And there's free bread! read more

Serafina Seaport - Espresso Martini, Ravioli Alla Salvia - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The good: caprese salad and tuna tartar. My wife's salmon looked good. Football games were on and visible from the table. Wine was yummy. EDM was loud, but we could hear each other, so it was okay. Another very New York thing, I think. The bad: Unbelievably overpriced. Marginally attentive service. Ordered the Chicken Marsala but with fettuccine instead of mashed potatoes. Maybe that was a mistake because the brown sauce was very thick and overly sweet. $20-25 starters? C'mon. New York prices but just a fair dining experience. read more

Had a great time, just sat at the bar which was great because you get to see them working. Food was good reasonably priced. Upscale chain. read more

Nice place. Seated quickly. Attentive service. Huge menu offers something for everyone. Menu really too big to do everything well. Found the food very average. Seaport is booming so will be tough to survive with average fare. read more

Ordered for delivery. OK, not great I am under the impression that the pasta is not cooked fresh. It has a texture like it was cooked earlier in the day or yesterday. Italian sausage had some grisle. Salad greens were fresh. I appreciate the sliced carrots in the salad, but they are wrinkled up as if they have been soaked in water for a long time. read more

Attended as part of a party of 6 on Saturday, 8/17/24. Overall, the group left disappointed with the experience at this restaurant. The food was fair to mediocre at best. Menu descriptions are poor when describing the actual output. Our server was a young woman named McKayla. She got virtually every part of our orders wrong. Quantities were wrong. She served dishes and courses out of order (bringing a starter salad as a side for the main course for example). And exhibited short-tempered behavior and attitude when being asked questions or having errors questioned. All in all, as I shared above, it was a disappointing experience. Davio's Italian Steakhouse, located diagonally across the street was a much better option. Serafina's team should go for dinner there and be reminded what quality and service should be like. read more

Delicious pasta and great location by the water in seaport! I came here with family visiting town and we really enjoyed our food. Both the pasta we ordered were amazing and although the portions looked small, one plate filled us up more than we thought it would. Their pasta dishes were flavorful and very tasty, especially the one I got (forgot the name but it's the green one) that had assorted nuts and beans. I also really loved the tomato soup, it was creamy and a perfect appetizer before the main meal! The prices here are more expensive than typical, but our total in the end actually ended up being less than we thought so I would say the food is worth the price. We also came here during lunch and service did feel a little slow, even though there weren't that many people. This restaurant is definitely a good spot to go with someone you have a lot to chat about! read more

Great location. Had a reservation at 5:30 and were seated right away but the tables are so close together that I felt like the couple next to us were at our table. We ordered drinks and then ordered our apps and dinners. Literally 5 minutes later the entire order came out at once. The calamari was a bit chewy but with turn around time like that, are they cooking it fresh for each order? The food was delicious but having our entire order brought out at the same time was a huge turn off for me, felt very rushed to get out. If I go back I'll make sure to order just one thing at a time but they should know better and time the courses out so your pasta isn't getting cold while you eat your app. read more

This place was a perfect spot to meet friends after a long day. The menu is varied and pleasant. The staff are friendly, but the music a bit loud for a conversation. The mix was really good, however. Do you really need to hear every word of the convo? Have dessert. read more

Serafina Seaport - Veal Scalloppine Al Limone - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food was average at best. The prices are out of control even for the seaport. The portions are extremely small and the pasta taste frozen we had the gnocchi). The meatballs were abysmal and gamey. The waiter paid no attention to us and didn't even offer us bread service. Kinda bummed out because heard great things about it, but was not impressed. With a lot of other places in the area skip this one. read more

It was quite a Shishi place. Rather grand modern feel to it. Not very cozy as you might find other places in Boston, but the staff was attentive. Food was varied with generous portions. read more

Seaport needed this place. Serafina is a great alternative to the stuffy steakhouses around every corner. We came here as a couple, one of us is vegetarian. We were impressed by the menu choices and quality of the food. The restaurant itself is bright and airy, so comfortable that we stayed for extra cocktails after our meal. The staff were attentive and friendly but still gave you room to enjoy and relax. Shout out to our server Elizabeth who helped to level up what we thought was going to be a casual meal to the highlight of our weekend. Here's what we had: Appetizer: Bruschetta - delicious and fresh. Reminded us of one we had in Italy that we still talk about to this day. Mains: Funghi Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza - best pizzas we have had in Boston. Thin, Italian crust with high quality ingredients. The fact that we could watch it being made from the pizza kitchen made it even better. Side: Fries - these are fresh cut and you can taste it. We couldn't get enough. Cocktails: Margarita and apricot smash - both delicious. I had the extra spicy margarita which was as good as it sounds. Highly recommend this place. Great to have it in the seaport neighborhood and looking forward to many more visits. The only room for improvement was that the Al fresco dining space wasn't set up when we came, hopefully it will be when we return! read more

Excellent meal! We were walking around and grubby after a long day and wanted a good meal. Despite how we looked, the hostess seated us with a smile and we quickly ordered. Our water glasses were refilled constantly and we received our food within 20 minutes. My gnocchi was spot on, exact taste and consistency you would expect from a high end restaurant. My child's pasta was gluten free and good as well. The waitress was friendly and we were out of there in a timely manner. We won't hesitate to return! read more

Nice ambiance and great for a larger crowd. The lighting is quite low so makes it more intimate and cozy. However, it makes it hard to see and it can be loud when it's busy. Service was decent and while it was hard to find our waiter. As soon as he saw us, he immediately came over. We appreciate the attention. Food was good and nothing stood out. It's not a bad thing at all. It's good Italian food and has options for seafood and meat. The burrata with tomato was nicely presented. The special focaccia bread wasn't as special as I hope. It was a slightly hard bread between soft cheese. A fancy cheese and bread. It was definitely worth ordering to try it out. The fried calamari was classic. The pasta dishes were good. Not huge portions but satisfying for a meal. The tagliolini di portofino was unique as everything was green due to the pesto cream. Not a typical dish you see here in boston Italian restaurant scene which is very red sauce heavy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, enjoyed the meal. I will inform that the pricy are a little more than average but very expected given the Seaport area. In general, prices in this neighborhood are high. The Focaccia was $28. I would consider revisiting again for a meal. read more

6 of us went to Serafina Seaport for brunch today. It took our waiter 15 minutes to take our drink order and we also ordered an appetizer. The appetizer came out and was gone before we even received our drinks. 10 minutes after we received our drinks our order was taken. From the time we ordered we all had a second round of drinks (which also took 15 minutes to reach our table). Another half hour went by before we got our meals. Everyone's meals were Luke warm at best. All of this was happening while our waiter was basically ignoring our existence and the man (who I assume to be) the general manager was occasionally walking the floor. Not one word was spoken to us! Ultimately, it took 45 minutes from the time we ordered until the time we received our cold food. Which I am sure would have been delicious if it were served at the proper temperature. The 20% gratuity was included on the bill, which is fine, but you would expect a little more service from a waiter knowing his tip was a sure thing! This all might have been understandable if the restaurant was crazy busy, but half the tables and the bar were empty. My son in law spent the better part of $500.00 on mediocre food accompanied by subpar service. Needless to say, we expected more! Total let down! read more

The watermelon martini is truly the best drink I've ever had just a small pour. The pizzas are incredible, specifically the shrimp and pesto one. Got pomodoro and added on meatballs. The pomodoro was fresh and delicious but the meatballs were the opposite. They seemed like frozen meatballs, hard to cut into and poor flavor, that was a big dissappointment. read more

Food was absolutely delicious. Went to Serafina's for lunch and got the Farfelle Limoncello, the sauce was creamy and delicious and the citrus flavor really adds to the dish.

They provided a free tiramisu for the birthday guest, great place to take someone to celebrate. Food came out relatively quickly as well. read more

Ambiance was pleasant, service was good, but a little slow.... then again, it was 6:45 on a Friday night. The food was however very good, bordering on fantastic. All five of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. In my dish, the mussels, shrimp and calamari were ample and cooked to perfection. The white wine sauce was delicious. Desert was decadent with a delicious cup of coffee. Prices typical for neighborhood. Highly recommend. read more

The food was delicious! I got the Chicken Marsala. It's hard to find good mashed potatoes that don't taste powdered. You could tell they were real mashed potatoes.
