    As one of many Italian restaurants in the city this one has a few sprinkled throughout various locations. Some of the dishes use fresh pasta. We arrived early and had no problem getting a table. Salads and dishes were as expected

    Serafina delivered an exceptional dining experience. The Penne Arrabiata was a standout, with perfectly cooked pasta and an authentic, flavourful sauce. The entire meal was a testament to the restaurants commitment to quality and authenticity. Were already looking forward to our next visit!

    Such a lovely corner restaurant with sublime food (see the REAL Gnocci in my picture!) and polite,quick service. Although it was candlelit some lovely young families were enjoying the experience. Highly recommend. (We are visiting from Australia)

    Had lunch outside along Broadway. Tried the bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and the fried artichokes with mozzarella. Also got a basket of freshly made focaccia bread and olive oil. A delicious, yet simple lunch. The wait staff were personable and attentive. A pleasant afternoon. Look forward to coming back.

    We just had a birthday party and had an amazing time. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and our party was the best. Dimitri was a pro in helping us plan this---from lighting, to menu. To the music. The wait staff bent over backward getting us what we needed. If you want a party in a private, elegant room, with people who care, and great food, come here!

  • Review 12 (2024-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    This is a great find that’s super close to our hotel and only just coming here 2 days before we leave for back home.Really really great pasta. The best I’ve had so far during my trip to NY. I got penne alla vodka (creamy) which was full of flavour, al dente pasta, and a good sized ported. My brother got the spaghetti pomodoro which he really enjoyed. My dad got the pollo parmigiana which was massive! Really huge pieces of chicken that also tasted delicious.I would advise you make a reservation as it is very busy. Service was really good. Only thing was no one came to the table with Parmesan for our pasta so we did have to get a waiters attention before we could start eating. In the uk Parmesan is always brought out to the table but I’m unsure if that’s a thing here in NYC.I would say soda was more expensive for a really tiny bottle compared to other places we’ve eaten.Pasta prices ranged from 23-30 dollars so compared to UK it’s extremely expensive but it’s decent prices for NYC and it’s one of the best places we’ve been too so for us this was absolutely worth the money. Will definitely be back before we leave.

    Nice italian restaurant. We had one of the best chicken parmigiana Ive tasted. The Raviolis Porcini were excellent also. My partner said that the Risoto Porcini was also very good. I liked the ambiance, and the service is super. I would love to go back.5* excellent4* very good3* good but not consistently2* Its not worth it1* Dont even think about it

    Visiting from Australia. Rocked up on a busy Saturday night with no reservation, staff were able to find us a bar spot for two. Yummy cocktails, the wait staff are awesome. Meals were absolutely phenomenal. One of the highlight from our US trip. Owner was so accommodating and Welcoming ❤️

  • Review 16 (2023-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Really cool atmosphere, great Roman style pizza and handmade pasta! Calamari was delicious with a spicy tomato sauce, must try! I loved my chicken and porcine Mushroom pasta. My partner had an anchovy pizza which reminded him of pizza in Rome. Quick drink service definitely set the mode for the evening of a great dinner!

  • Review 17 (2022-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Nice Italian restaurant for new york , cozy atmosphere, since Im Italian I have to point out the fact that they claim their pasta is al dente while it is almost overcooked. Pizza was ok. bruschette were amazing

  • Review 21 (2023-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    The food was delicious. Every dish was nicely presented fresh and flavorful. The waiters were friendly and accommodating. Dont forget to finish it off with a delightful piece of desert.

  • Review 22 (2024-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great service and classy atmosphere. The highlight of our meal was easily the ravioli. They had quick a few selections and we picked the vegetarian mushroom based one. Great Melody of flavors without any single one blasting out the others, as garlic often does, with perfect chew on the wrapping. We considered just ordering more raviolis to round off our meal!Salmon and bass were both well cooked. The bass, in the onion and potato wrap had a nice sweetness to it.Definitely hope to visit again.

  • Review 23 (2023-05-07 - Rating: 4)

    If you’re on Broadway and looking for Italian food and al fresco dining, this is your spot.The lobster ravioli was incredible and the spicy vodka sauce with penne was also tasty.The bruschetta lacked flavor complexity, but wasn’t bad. If you’re searching for dessert, the pistachio torte was great. The menu says it’s served with whipped ricotta and it came with vanilla ice cream, so that was a little disappointing, but it was still great.Overall, not the best Italian food in the city but certainly not the worst. It’s worth a visit if you’re nearby.

  • Review 24 (2023-02-18 - Rating: 4)

    Lovely food. The service was very friendly. However a little spoiled because I got charged $15 more for our wine, cos they gave me a different bottle than I ordered. Then an automatic 18% gratuity, then asked for a tip on top. I left disappointed then. Shame. Apart from that, lovely.

  • Review 25 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    I walked in after closing @10:15 pm bc a man was following me for 2 blocks. They were extremely helpful and made sure he was gone and I was safe to leave. They walked around the perimeter, and help me leave through a different exit. I am extremely grateful for the entire staff for keeping me safe.

  • Review 26 (2023-08-24 - Rating: 4)

    Delicious food and fun atmosphere for a friends birthday dinner. We tried the truffle pizza and some pasta dishes and everything was great. The service was slow to refill drinks and bring the check. But other than that would recommend.

  • Review 27 (2022-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    Wow!! We decided to eat here on Friday 8/19/22 because it was located right next-door to the book of Mormon Broadway show we were seeing. What we weren’t expecting was the best steak we’ve ever had! The sangria was delicious with fresh fruit inside. We started with the tomato mozzarella avocado appetizer which was also delicious. My daughter and I both ordered the filet mignon which came with grilled vegetables and these delicious potatoes. I order my steak medium well and it’s usually extremely dry everywhere I go and here it was the juiciest steak I’ve ever gotten. For dessert we had tiramisu which was so good but the absolute best was the seven layer chocolate and Nutella cake. Overall it was an amazing experience. The server and all the other staff did a great job of clearing our dishes very quickly. The only downside is the restrooms you have to take an elevator to the second floor. But otherwise it’s an A+ all around!

  • Review 28 (2022-06-27 - Rating: 4)

    We went in for dinner, we didn’t have a reservation but we’re seated in five minutes of arrival. We ordered pizza and salad and both came out very fast. The water was refilled timely. The food was fresh and quality is good. Nothing too fancy but a dependable restaurant to eat at. Overall we had a pleasant experience at this restaurant.

  • Review 29 (2024-09-09 - Rating: 4)

    I ate breakfast here twice when I was staying at the hotel. Both times the service was great, the server was friendly and attentive.The salmon benedict was good, but it was quite light on the salmon. I struggled to get salmon in every bite.The waffles were also good, a little dense and quite sweet, but not unexpected as it has both Nutella and whipped cream. The strawberries provided a well needed bit of balance.Similar to the hotel it’s in, the decor of the restaurant was certainly interesting and unique.

  • Review 30 (2024-05-11 - Rating: 4)

    The food was excellent! Absolutely loved the penne arrabbiata dish. I would absolutely come back! The seating was a bit tight though

    Oh this place was Devine! Very close to our hotel and thought why not?!? So glad we stopped by and had lunch! Outdoor seating is a must if you enjoy people watching! Got the gnocchi, he got the salmon and prosciutto crostini was simply executed, but absolutely delicious! I would definitely go back on my next NYC trip! Oh...almost forgot....spicy margarita was perfect!

    First dinner in New York. Pasta for a main course. Something different. The food was really good. Great service. They dont rush you, let you enjoy each course

  • Review 35 (2023-04-21 - Rating: 4)

    Flavorful carpaccio topped with a special white sauce and sliced truffles, which give the dish a very special touch.The service very attentive, looking out for the table’s needs and special requests. Creamy carbonara sauce, very nice pasta. For dessert I had the Torta di Ricotta, amazingly balanced cheesecake. Good ambiance, overall nice place to go.

  • Review 36 (2018-04-28 - Rating: 4)

    After walking around for 10-15 mins we landed at this restaurant with a party of 6 adults and a baby. We didnt have a reservation on a Friday night but we were quickly accommodated. The food was great and traditional Italian. The only thing keeping this from a 5-star rating was our waiter. He took our order and it came out quickly but we felt rushed and like he really didnt want to wait on us.

  • Review 37 (2021-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great food and presentation! The lasagna was superb. It was week balanced and The cheese was cooked to perfection. The Burrata recipe was not the best ever, like the one in Peppecorinos in Orlando, but it was worth it. The staff started a little slow and made me wait. Once I made them aware, they did an incredible job. I really like and well repeat the visit.

  • Review 38 (2024-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    Serafina Italian Restaurant at West 55TH Street has surpassed our expectations! Great food, great place, and amazing service staff - the man of the night is Mario. He is probably the coolest and friendliest restaurant staff that I encountered. He has a lot of humour too. We all loved our pasta, especially mine - the farfalle al limoncello! The pistachio cake is one of a kind. Amazing experience! I can’t wait to be back.

  • Review 39 (2022-07-05 - Rating: 4)

    We ordered penne al arrabiata, pesto spaghetti and one of the fish. Overall the taste was good but the dressing/sauce of the fish was on the sweeter side which felt out of place. The dessert however was amazing! It was the one with 7 layers of chocolate with hazelnut crunch - the texture, sweetness and taste were absolutely amazing!

  • Review 40 (2022-01-18 - Rating: 5)

    A classic Italian kitchen location, making you feel at home, and their food are not disappointing as well. Great servers. And they dont rush you to finish your food. Pastas and salads were our favorite.

    Our first I was going to complain about the bill, but in all reality, everything was so fresh made that you can’t complain. A lot of places do not make homemade food. Let’s keep it real and it was delicious.

  • Review 45 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    3rd time dining here. Loving it more 🥇🥇.My niece flew in from overseas and was near Central Park sightseeing. We chose this for the proximity but mostly for the excellent quality of cuisine and ambiance.A plus was they also let me bring in my road bicycle. Everyone enjoyed the experience. Top notch 👍.Did I mention this is quality food at very reasonable prices for NYC. Feels like I’m in Queens and not getting hit by inflation .Forgot to mention the desserts are also amazing 🤩Truly the very BEST on Billionaires Row 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Serafina has a few a la carte options for breakfast. The hangover sandwich )$28 plus tax) had egg, Fontina cheese but could use more Sriracha. The fries were excellent.

    This place is a bit pricey but food and service was good. Homemade pasta was good . Portions are perfect, not too much and not too little. I was very satisfied with my meal.

  • Review 49 (2022-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    Im not sure if this place is known for their pizza or not. We chose it because of its proximity to our hotel and because we wanted a fancier restaurant. The pizza ala vodka became a family favorite, and my kids are already begging me to make it at home. The service was great and the restaurant was clean and cute, although it was extremely cramped.

  • Review 50 (2023-07-30 - Rating: 4)

    The atmosphere is nice, it is comfortable and spacious, the food is not that good, the pepperoni pizza was bad, it looked like it was from any fast food place, the ravioli was tasty but the ricottini bolognese pasta was hard and cold. I did not like them.

  • Review 51 (2024-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    Our recent dinner at Serafina Italian Restaurant on Broadway was an absolute delight. Despite being a bustling evening, the manager went above and beyond to create seats for us at the bar, showcasing their exceptional customer service. As usual, we ordered our favorite dish - the veal cutlet with salad on top, accompanied by the amazing truffle-flavored French fries, and it did not disappoint. The consistency and quality of this dish remain unparalleled across all Serafina locations weve visited. Though we didnt order pizza this time, the individual pizzas ordered by the couple next to us caught our eye. They looked perfect, boasting a thin crust that was just right, not too much like a pita or tortilla, topped with perhaps a generous amount of cheese, but as New Yorkers, we believe theres no such thing as too much cheese on a pizza. Serafina once again proved why its a go-to for us, blending impeccable service with mouthwatering cuisine.

    Quick lunch during a conference call. Nearby the Sheraton on 7th Ave, don’t miss it. Ordered bruschetta as appetizer , it was super fresh and tasty with fine chopped basil. My steak came a little bit over medium, oposite to what I ordered, however, our server was super nice and apologized a couple times, offering to get me a new one. I declined because it was still good. Thank you Alex for your great service, I’ll go back once in NYC.

    We had to wait some time to get seated and the servers aren’t as attentive, but it’s okay if you’re not in a rush. The food is also decent if you’re not looking for something higher end.

  • Review 57 (2023-11-23 - Rating: 4)

    Nov 2023 I was in NYC for work and had Serafina for lunch two of the five days I was there. They only had two or three vegetarian options (although I’m vegan). Both times I ordered the spaghetti squash. The first time I didn’t get the pine nuts, which I was ok with but the second time I did. The overall dish was very good - hot and fresh. I especially enjoyed the veggies. I would’ve appreciated a bit more pasta sauce, but I guess the lack thereof was for my benefit as it had some dairy in it. Service was nice. I was one in a group of five and the restaurant was able to accommodate on both occasions.

    The staff was INCREDIBLE recently in providing perfect attentive service. I and my dining partner were late and needed to make a 7:30pm performance at Carnegie Hall.

Thank you so much for providing such excellent service and a fast but very pleasant meal! 😊

Super happy and would definitely go back

    We are in NYC to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary for a few days and are so glad we stumbled upon this little gem we got in on a Friday without booking as it is so large really authentic Italian with excellent service I had Octopus and their special chicken salad wine was a tad pricey in my opinion. Still, all in all, superb will try to get back before we return to Scotland.

    The staff here is really nice. I love it when they don’t seem so tired or bored that they can’t even handle talking to me, something that happens a lot in NYC. Here though, everyone seemed to care from the host stand staff to the bartender and to the waiter. The fresh pasta is so tender and fresh, and the food comes out hot (as it should)! We went to a couple other locations and we were shocked by the discrepancy between them, poor service and cold cacio e Pepe. This location is the best out of the ones we tried by far. Good job team and thanks for making our night out a great one! ◡̈

    The Spicy Penne Alla Vodka is to die for, not as spicy as I thought it would be with the red pepper flakes but it was perfect for me since I’m not the biggest fan of spicy food. I did not add any protein into my pasta but it was still amazing without any added meats.

    I loved the spaghetti carbonara! Great flavors and I was satisfied with the portion size. Margarita pizza was also pretty good! I recommend trying this place if going to see the Christmas tree or viewing a show at the Radio City Music Hall. Good, affordable for the area and a nice ambiance.

    Serafina was a great experience in New York, to start I will talk about the service they were attentive and friendly, exclusive in New York that so far the bad mood reigns in the service. As for the menu is excellent, I opted for a truffle risotto and it is simply wonderful. Importantly, they have a vegetarian option. The wine list is also of quality. For dessert we opted for the profiteroles which was from the gods. Do not miss this space that pleases the eyes, taste and heart.

    Usually I research my NYC restaurants while in town for shows. This time we decided to take a chance on Serafina, near our Residence Inn Hotel. Fortunately, they were able to seat us. We enjoyed salmon and sea bass, Whispering angel wine and shared a chocolate cake. The food was good and prices in line with NYC.

The food was amazing, as well as the service, and the restaurant has a very comfortable vibe to it – not too loud, not too quiet, not too cold, not too hot, and the lighting was dim, but not too dark, which I love. I would definitely come back here again!

    I will start with the positives:My cocktail was great! Incredibly well-balanced and well-flavored. I also had the Mozzarella appetizer for our table. The other guests had salads that were also excellent.The main courses were fairly prompt and were very good. I had the spicy penne, and I wished it had been a little bit more spicy to be honest, but the sauce was great! Very creamy and the bacon added a nice touch. I also appreciated that they told me about it ahead of time because it wasnt listed in the dishs description. Since I eat with vegetarians a lot, I always appreciate when a restaurant warns diners of hidden meat. Although, listing it in the description would probably be helpful.The dessert and cappuccino were excellent. I dont know where they get their ice cream, but it was some of the best vanilla I have ever tasted and the chocolate hazelnut cake was very light and delicious.However, I have to take away at least 1 star for the poor service. We seemed like an afterthought to the waitstaff and getting people to even check in on us was difficult. I had to ask three times for more water and the waiter literally took my friends half-full glass of wine away before he was finished.You dont really have a dedicated server, it seems, and they just generally seem overwhelmed.That being said, I would come back for the food alone, and just know what to expect going in in terms of service.

    We were staying in the hotel up to the restaurant and we tried for breakfast the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and with prosciutto. Super recommend this place the service was super . It is a good location close to Times Square and Columbus Circle.

    We had dinner here with a group of friends early (5:30) on a Saturday evening. I’d actually give it 4.5 stars. We ordered a wide variety of food items and everyone enjoyed their meal. (My burrata with roasted tomatoes was delicious.) However, the service was slow and we had a difficult time obtaining drink refills. Example - it took 30 minutes for our desserts to arrive after we ordered them and an additional 30 for our check to be delivered (after we asked for it.) I do not like to feel rushed, but after a long day in the city, I just wanted to leave …

    A nice place, food was good. Itsquite pricey - the service, as often in the US, is in the beginning very friendly but lack european standards at the end: they literally grab your plate the moment you have finished, even though my wife was still eating. A no go.But all in all we had a nice dinner at serafinas.

    Love it. New York at its best - in the affordable price range. A must before a Broadway show. Great wine list, a versatile choice of pastas and generous antipasto and main dish portions.

    I absolutely loved Serafina’s! The atmosphere is gorgeous, the food was amazing! I had the bolognese and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend and will be returning. The only downside is that they only have two bathrooms with one stall and they are in a tight space so it did create some congestion in using that bathroom but other than that, definitely a 5 star restaurant.

    A nice and not very expensive restaurant right across from the Residence Inn Central Park. The food is very good and the service is quick and efficient. If you plan to arrive during peak times, I recommend to make a reservation. We walked in and were seated without a reservation, but I recommend you plan ahead.

  • Review 94 (2022-07-28 - Rating: 4)

    Came to Serafina for a quick and light dinner. Service is wonderful here! We arrived without reservation and were seated quickly. The waiter answered all questions and was helpful when it came to me deciding on a dish. I do wish they had more options when it came to protein and how it can be cooked. Its a chill ambiance with some light music playing in the background. Pasta was great.

    Visited twice during our trip. Stayed in the hotel connected & our first night we tried it was great lovely food & staff very attentive. Visited again & food was great again but unfortunately the staff let it down the second time, they didn’t seem in the best of moods & weren’t as attentive as previously. Price point is great for NY

    Everthing was perfect. Food was delicious, service was amazing, and price for being in Manhattan was even better! You must go, and have a traditional plate like the Chicken Parmigian.

  • Review 99 (2024-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    Serafina, nestled in the vibrant Meatpacking District of Manhattan, is a gem that stands out for its delightful Italian cuisine and exceptional ambiance. From the moment my family and I entered, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, indicative of true Italian hospitality. The restaurants location is unbeatable, perfectly situated to set the stage for a memorable evening in one of New York Citys most dynamic neighborhoods.The service at Serafina was impeccable. Attentive and friendly staff made us feel welcomed and valued, ensuring our dining experience was seamless from start to finish. Their recommendations from the menu were spot-on, adding a personal touch to our meal.Speaking of the menu, it was a splendid showcase of Italian flavors. The unique flat chicken parmigiana was a standout, perfectly crispy and flavorful, redefining this classic dish in a way only Serafina can. The pasta with spicy arrabbiata sauce was another highlight, striking the perfect balance between spice and the rich, tomato-based sauce, leaving us craving for more.Our evening at Serafina was not just about dining; it was an experience that brought joy and satisfaction. Enjoying such high-quality Italian cuisine in the company of my wife and daughter made the evening all the more special. Serafina is not just a restaurant; its a destination for those seeking a blend of great food, service, and atmosphere in the heart of Manhattan. Its certainly a place well return to, eager to relive the wonderful experience that Serafina consistently offers.

    We came for a pre-matinee lunch and found the food to be delicious. We had a calamari appetizer followed by eggplant parmigiana, spaghetti carbonara, a wagyu beef burger and a side of Brussels sprouts. Prices are high, but the quality and portions were very good.

    Visited the restaurant on Mother’s Day, I had no reservation but they accommodated us without a problem, everyone was super nice (a bit of a slow service but seemed like a few servers called out and the restaurant was busy... loved the fact that they let us eat without rushing us every 5 seconds).Drinks are strong, food was delicious, prices are great!

  • Review 112 (2017-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    The pizza at this place had a great taste. I was really happy to be here because I had heard how good it was from a friend of mine. The place was sort of hard to find, but so are many things in the city. I was really impressed with this place. It had an exciting look and the atmosphere was relaxed and it was the perfect place to bring a date. I really liked the food here. The pizza was perfect. It was slightly burned and crispy, which is just the way I love it. I hope that I can sometime visit this place again because everything there was so perfect. I had a great time with my wife there and we are going back again next time we go back for an extended trip in NYC.

    My friend and I went here on a Sunday Afternoon. At the time, it was not busy. We were automatically seated at the Bar counter. The pastas are pretty good and they were reasonably portions. The Bartender is extremely friendly. I also saw a lot of family parties that also had a great time.

  • Review 119 (2020-09-27 - Rating: 4)

    I’ve been to multiple Serafina locations now and the food never disappoints! It was easy to reserve a table ahead as they can be pretty busy. My only complaint was that at times the service was slow/busy, but as far as the food coming out everything was timely. Definitely recommend this place and their other locations. They have outdoor seating and hopefully they bring out some heaters as it gets colder.

    Was in town for work and wanted to catch up with a former colleague over breakfast. Finding a decent, sit down place to meet can be difficult in mid town, but Serafina was perfect. The food was fantastic and our waiter was very attentive and not pushing us to give up the table. The fresh juice was excellent. I’d go here again for sure.

    The staff were friendly. My colleague and I were seated immediately. The food was okay, quality was decent, but mine was not very hot and even after being warmed it was only okay tasting. Id say go elsewhere unless. What this place has going for it is the location along Broadway and decent prices.

  • Review 134 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 4)

    While the restaurant is quirky and fun, the food was so-so. The lobster ravioli, while good, was served on a large cold plate so it was cold cold before I could eat it. The bread was served cold and the olive oil was way too earthy and pungent to accompany the bread. The oil needed a seasoning added. I asked for butter for the bread and it was cold so not spreadable on cold bread.

  • Review 138 (2019-03-01 - Rating: 4)

    This is a good price value restaurant in mid town. I would think it is better at lunch time in terms of the volume of music. It has this semi nightclub/ discotheque ambiance. Although the music is quite good, it is too loud to my taste. The food is fairly ok. I think they need to revisit their olive oil as it looks like it has the right color the acid level is so high you can choke on it. In any case , a high quality olive oil would never be served in such abundance with a fat big bottle. Service is fast.

    Just happened into this and what an unexpected treat! The chicken parmesan was a huge portion and perfectly lightly breaded, very tender, and scrumptious!! The lasagna, appetizers and breads were equally delicious.Craft cocktails and wonderful service too!
