    Our favorite pizza at Serafina’s, called pepperoncini, was disappointing. There was no chili oil so it didn’t have its usual kick. Not sure if they forgot to add it? Service was a little disappointing too. We had to ask our waiter to refill our water. Also, the waiter asked if he can clean our plates while I was still eating. The other three people at the people already finished eating so I didn’t protest. However, I would have liked to finish my meal so it was quite annoying that the waiter asked to start clearing the table.

    Dinner was very good. Not a place you go for your anniversary or birthday celebration, but a moderately-priced restaurant with above-average food.

    The food was very good. Service was a bit rushed Had to have them hold our main dishes while eating starters. Tables are close together, but overall it's a nice restaurant.

    Mom and I shared the fig pizza which was really good if you like fig and prosciutto! We also split the cacio e Pepe pasta with taglitorini pasta instead of spaghetti! Very good!!
