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

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

Food amazing, service amazing, beautiful restaurant, good drinks, everything amazing. I love you Serafina. 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

Service, food, drinks were all very good. The atmosphere is fun in the main dining room. The smaller "family section", not as much. read more

Enjoyed a very nice brunch. All dishes ordered were delicious and plentiful. Our first visit and will certainly return. Service was excellent, Elizabeth was attentive and friendly. 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

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

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

Incredible service, delicious food (apps, wine, and main courses), and beautiful location.

Elizabeth was so sweet and personally took it upon herself to accommodate the allergies of my party. No other restaurant has been that considerate & made sure my experience was 10/10!!!!! 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

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

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

Went for my birthday lunch. Good food, great desserts and amazing ambience! It was busy since the weekend but service was good. read more

Serafina Seaport - House made Gnocchi and Customized Margherita Pizza - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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

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

This is one of the most overrated places in Boston. We went for a friends birthday party here. The ambience was ok, but cocktails, food and service a all three were below average! Wouldn't expect this after paying a bomb for a dinner. 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. The Chicken Milanese and Lobster Ravioli were great too. The service was smooth and the ambiance is felt welcoming. Definitely would be back if we're in the area. 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. The bread that came out first was soft with a crunchy crust and was delicious with the olive oil and balsamic at the table. 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

Food was excellent and the ambiance was very nice! The Cacio E Pepe was delicious with shaved truffle on top. The server was very nice and patient with us while we kept getting caught up in chatting and needing just another minute to order! 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

Our server Jhoan C was fantastic. He offered us things from the menu. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Ordered the chicken parm with a side of spinach. Chicken was very thin, heavily breaded and a bit dry. Spinach was so salty I couldn't eat it.. very nice staff though read more

Ok dinner - delicious and good size appetizer. Entree was presented well (beautiful actually) but the meal itself was just ok. Beans were a strange addition to the sides accompanying it. Service was very insistent. I appreciated not being ignored - but this was the other extreme in a night when it was not busy. She needs to loosen up and read the cues rather than pestering so much. Ambiance is good but they need to do something about the cold corner false that come in when the door is opened. Maybe put a curtain to reduce it like they do at Lalo 4041. read more

so so so so so so good, try the mussels they are to die for! Servers are amazing, very attentive, very nice. The place is also stunning so all around amazing restaurant! read more

Came here for a work event - attentive staff, delicious hors d'oeuvres (favorites - fried artichoke, burratta, mozz / tomato skewers). Large drink selection. We had a private room that was connected to the restaurant, but the bar and restaurant seemed very nice too. Overall great vibe for a work event! read more

Went here a few days ago and absolutely loved it! Our waiter was amazing; very nice, not too overbearing but attentive at the same time. Not only was the service amazing, but the food was to die for. The carbonara I got was amazing and the creme brulee I shared with my friend was great as well. Definitely coming back soon, I would say this is now one of my new favorite Italian places. read more

Fantastic service for party do 2 at the bar. Horrible service for the party of 5 13 year old girls celebrating a birthday on us. A bias against young diners ? I believe yes from the waitress Jordan. Also, the manager, Dropping F bombs at the bar. Bitching with friends about the photo shoot tomorrow and folks changing her schedule. Maybe the waitress was busy and needed assistance from the manager to bring water to tables or assist. Maybe but she was enjoying a heavy pour of Cabernet and sitting on her laptop. read more

We arrived on a Friday evening approximately 6pm. We didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was about 20% capacity. They gave us a bad impression from the start, because we didn't have a reservation. They sat us in the smallest table next to where the servers were preparing table ware. See picture attached. It was very loud and it was hard to talk. The food was not all that special and not worth the price. The waiter came to the table a total of 3 times. At me point they left the rack the put the food on right behind my chair so close that I hit it with my elbow. The place is very beautiful inside. I will give it that. But not a very friendly place. read more
