- SSerafinaNew York City •10 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 27, 2025I only recently discovered this restaurant, and my first experience was amazing. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting without being too loud. The old French and Italian music adds a delightful charm. I enjoyed it so much that I even suggested hosting a friend’s birthday celebration there, and everyone had a wonderful time. This charming gem in my neighborhood comes highly recommended.More infoOsteria NandoPrice: Moderate• French• Upper East Side•4.6
