Serafina opened its doors in 1991 as an intimate neighborhood restaurant located along Eastlake between the University and Downtown. Its intimate, sultry atmosphere, outdoor garden seating and its authentic Italian cuisine make it a favorite with diners from around the Puget Sound and beyond. Serafina's philosophy is simple: Offer the freshest, highest quality ingredients, present the food in an honest and inviting way, and provide the casual warmth and soothing ambiance that echoes the welcoming embrace of an Italian home.The ritual of coming together sharing wine and food with family and friends is the central motif in our lives. Italian food has an immediacy, honesty, and warmth; it possesses the spirit of a grandmother's wisdom and love. Italian food isn't about trailblazing alchemy or edible high fashion; Italian food is about staying connected—to each other, to the past, to the earth.

Wonderful venue to celebrate a special occasion (like a spouse’s birthday)! Service is top-notch and the food is nicely prepared & presented. This couple shared one appetizer, one small plate, the sturgeon entree, and a key lime pie—very satisfying! Do request bread for dipping into the sauce if you get the mussels.

I was very pleased with everything at Stanford’s. From the comfortable atmosphere to the attentive wait staff to the excellent food. I would certainly recommend this establishment. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and they were probably some of the best I’ve ever had! The side salad was delicious and included a lot of veggies, bacon, egg, and croutons. We had the Italian chicken with artichokes capers, and dry tomatoes. Definitely pallet pleasing.
