    Calamari
    Leeanna C.

    I love this restaurant that's located inside The Time New York hotel. I really can't narrow down my favorite thing so I'll just give you the list of what I enjoyed the most. First off, the staff is so professional and delivered excellent service during all three of my visits. The restaurant is very clean and the food is delivered quickly at an appropriate temperature. The restaurant has a very calm vibe, good for both a quiet date night, or a fun night out for a large group of friends. I had a peaceful breakfast one morning and loved it. My favorite dinner items were the short rib pappardelle, along with their Di Sofia Caesar salad. Both were delicious choices. My favorite breakfast items were the lemon ricotta pancakes, and their herb omelette. Both had exceptional flavor. Their standard cup of coffee was also pretty good. Not sure why... but it hit the spot. I can't wait to return.

    Came here for the hotel breakfast. The food is not bad. The food came out quickly. It's pretty busy in the morning since the hotel gives breakfast vouchers for this restaurant. The lemon ricotta pancakes were less than desirable.

    Arrived about 5 minutes before our reservation - hostess took us to a table for two that abutted the pizza oven - it was so hot I had to ask to be relocated twice ... eventually we simply went to a high top in the bar area. The prices are typical for NYC - Times Square. The food was tasty, filling and good - but not as great as I was hoping! The "Al Dente" can frankly border on lazy or rushed by the cooks - and felt this was definitely the case here - they wanted to feed us and turn the table for the next guest. No feeling of being welcomed to sit and enjoy meal or atmosphere. Spinach & Ricotta ravioli. A shrimp limoncello bow tie pasta and bruschetta was our $125 meal.

    Lobster Ravioli Degli Innamorati Tartufo Nero

    Delicious, quick meal before Book of Mormon! We had the fried calamari, lobster ravioli, and tartufo Nero pizza. All absolutely delicious, personal fave was the pizza! Thin sliced and soooo good.

    Phenomenal dining service. Dined at this location three times for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The staff will take their time to serve the guest. I will visit again. A pleasant experience.

    Went to this restaurant prior to our Broadway show as it is continently located in the theater district. All wait staff was very friendly and was able to help us out. Wasn't very sure who exactly our server was but everyone was friendly. Very great menu selection as well as drink selection. Their wine list was also very extensive. I got their margarita pizza as well as we shared their tuna and salmon tartar as our appetizers. Will be going back!

    Lovely service for our large party of 7 and delicious, large portions to enjoy with our group. The Serafina Chicken Salad is making me change how I do my own chop salads at home, it is SO GOOD.

    My sister and I had brunch prior to going to see a matinee. If you're going to see a show, the convenience is there. The vibe is fine. Service was fine. The waiters seemed busy. Most restaurants serve some sort of toast/ bread w/ this dish but they don't. It was fine.

    Exceptional service and food in Time Square. Great ambiance in the restaurant with beautiful decor.

    It's right next to the O'Niell theater which makes this a great pre-dinner place before you watch the AMAZING BOOK OF MORMON musical but this is about serafina, not the musical. On Tuesday, we came around 5:30 and were seated immediately. I got the Spicy vodka penne which I asked to change the noodle to rigatoni and they were able to do so! It's not... very spicy LOL I have a pretty low spice tolerance but it was barely a TICKLE in my throat. Although, the sauce was great! So far, I've had TWO other spicy vodka sauces and this one was the best one I've had (I ate one at a nearby Italian restaurant and another at Parm). While spicy is not a word I'd use in this description, it definitely tasted amazing! My sister got the lobster ravioli and hers was also very delicious! Her lobster was tasty and the sauce, while was the same color as mine, had a slightly different taste but was delicious in its own right. For dessert, we got their tiramisu and while a little pricey, it was pretty good! Since we had such a positive experience, we came THE NEXT NIGHT with our parents this time! This time I got the spaghetti carbonara and it was yummy! It was cooked perfectly, not clumpy AT ALL! My father got the short ribs and they were pretty good! It's definitely not to my tastes (I like SAUCY noods)

    Made reservations for pre theatre dinner which was very easy. Ordered lasagna and spicy penne ala vodka. One of our party had a glass of wine. Food was very good. Staff was good and pleasant and got us out on time. Found it odd that we had to ask for bread. Then it was served with a bottle of olive oil for dipping but the waitress took our unused bread plates away so that left not too many options for the olive oil option. Overall would recommend for food, location and ambience. Side note- it was fun to watch the wood burning oven being used for pizzas.

    The food was wonderful. The ambiance was very relaxing and the serving staff was amazing. The location however! I hate going to places near Time square. Leave EARLY. The place will be hard to get to. But honestly this place is an amazing and there are different location options if you need. I got the Calamari which was made perfectly. I also got the Cacio e Pepe -- really good. I have zero complaints about the food. Portions were good. Bread and olive oil as a little nibble before the food. My drink was good. I heard the margaritas were better though. I'll get that next time.

They sat us upstairs along the balcony overlooking the main dining room, and the decor... honestly, just look at the photo because I don't even know how to describe it The space used to be a church, and it is SO cool inside. Definitely not your average pizza joint. This place is popular -- there were plenty of people eating -- but surprisingly, our wait wasn't long at all. And even with all the bodies in there, it never felt crammed or uncomfortable. We ordered a small pizza and did half Shrimp Fra Diavolo and half Margherita. The Fra Diavolo had a little kick, but nothing crazy -- and this is coming from someone who cannot handle big spice The Margherita had just the right amount of basil and mozzarella, and that crispy crust was exactly what I wanted. Although there was no major cheese pull, it was still perfect. The small was plenty for the two of us and honestly just perfect. We also had a couple cocktails, which were delicious too. I always say NYC food pricing is kind of deceiving. You look at the price and go, "Ummm..." but then the food comes out and you realize they give you A LOT. Definitely felt like we got our money's worth here. Great pizza, really cool atmosphere, and a fun first NYC pizza experience for the husband. Happy Eating, Chass

The wait was worth it though because they know how to do pizza. The crust just crisp enough, the sauce flavorful, and the toppings plentiful. The service was friendly and quick given the number of people there. For my first trip to NYC, I'd make this a traditional stop for future visits.

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

It is such a cute place that deeply honors its heritage and ancestry, and their understanding of celiac disease immediately put us at ease. They explicitly let us know they use a dedicated oven and explained what pizzas can be made gluten free. They also have a dedicated fryer for all their gluten-free items, which is a massive relief for anyone with strict dietary needs. To drink, I ordered an Aperol Spritz, though you will want to double-check with the staff since a few of their other cocktails are not gluten-free. We kicked off our meal with the gluten-free arancini and a gluten-free Margherita pizza, and the pizza was genuinely delicious. They even offer gluten-free desserts, so we naturally went all-in on the fried dough with Nutella to finish things off. Aside from the incredible food safety and quality, the service and staff were fantastic. They were constantly attentive, clearing empty plates and bringing new ones throughout the meal.

We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous.

Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
