    Serafina 38th was a perfect spot for our casual business dinner. A definite crowd pleaser. The host was friendly and inviting. Our server Juan Carlo was attentive and knowledgeable. The shared course of a pizza and artichoke/buratta was delicious- we could have enjoyed even more. All enjoyed their pasta and classic parmesan dishes. The desserts were beautiful. Three different with a gorgeous presentation. Lively crowd, warm ambiance on a cold winter night, good wine and port to go along. Highly recommend and will be back again at this location.

    We visited Serafina out last night in NYC and it was the perfect was to end our visit. The atmosphere was cozy but also energetic. The staff were very attentive and helpful with their recommendations. The food was all delicious and a perfect size portion so we could enjoy a starter, salad, main and share dessert. Great wine selection.

    Amazing restaurant! I had the best experience going there to celebrate my birthday. The carpaccio was truly one of the best things i have ever tried! I was closing my eyes to experience this and i can assure that it's out of this world!!!!The truffled risotto was also incredible, i enjoyed every bite. The service was excellent, i always had water in my glass. I 1000% eould recommend this place and i hope i can be back very soon.

    From start to finish was the best experience. The host was very good at getting my family seated after I made the mistake of making the reservation for 2 and not 4 the wait staff was very responsive and the food was amazing
