We had the New Year’s Eve dinner experience at Serafina and it was wonderful. We did an early seating as we had three generations with us—two teenagers two adults and grandparents. It was a prefix menu, which was lovely. One note I would have is to have a few more vegetarian options. We had one vegetarian person with us, and there was only one option for each, but all in all, it was a great experience. The saffron broth with the seafood was incredible! (I think it’s a menu staple with a fish.) The wine pairing with the New Year’s Eve dinner was also excellent.
Our only complaint was that it was quite cold in the restaurant, probably because they were waiting for more people to come to warm up, but we felt a little chilly (possibly a one-off).
We highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant!

This restaurant is a neighborhood gem turned city staple. The service from the hosts to bartenders to waitstaff was very nice- attentive but not obtrusive. The spaces are lovely but while not cramped, they are not spacious. The patio is beautiful- filled with sunshine but also has a large retractable awning. The salads were good and there was plenty to share. The pastas were good. We had one of each kind. Two were great, one was good, and one was a little disappointing. The desserts were amazing. We did have some food restrictions and while they were very sensitive about making sure they asked the chef about allergens, there weren’t a lot of options after that.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle, specifically Eastlake!
Their pasta always hits the spot, along with their bread, the flakey sea salt is to die for! I recommend getting the larger pasta size if you want leftovers for the next day!
The place is very cute and cozy and is great for small parties to large parties. Date night here is a must! I will always recommend Serafina, I’ve had almost everything on their menu! 10/10

Hands down our favorite restaurant in Eastlake. The ambiance is perfect, service is above & beyond, and the food is incredible. Perfect for a date night, happy hour or celebrating a special occasion (or honestly just however you can justify going because it’s so good!). Would recommend making reservations and also checking out their patio in the summer.

Happy Hour is just lovely! The vibe is on point. Great drinks…$12 old fashion! Food was tasty. Best part was our wonderful server/bartender. First time here but won’t be my last.

Wow, it’s one of the best Italian restaurants. Everything tastes so good. The server was so nice that the food came in a reasonable time for being that busy at dinner time. The prices are a little bit too high but are alright for the portion and the flavor they serve, absolutely works every dollar the you spend.

The Burrata dish here is out of this world. That dish alone is what gonna take me back to this restaurant any day! 10/10 Well done chef!
Overall There’s so many unique dishes on this menu. Great and interesting flavors! If you’re looking for an intriguing Italian food experience, this is the place! We ended up ordering 4 appetizers and 3 entrees bc we couldn’t resist trying them all.
We love our server; she was very nice and attentive. The dining room can get really really noisy during peak hours, so if you’re looking for a romantic quiet anniversary dinner, this might not be for the occasion.

What a great spot for some delicious Italian food! The osso bucco was phenomenal, and the lasagna was absolute comfort food!
They also have a full bar and can make amazing cocktails!

I tried to find a great Italian place for my trip to Seattle and I was so lucky to stumble upon this place online. It was very straightforward to get a reservation on a Friday night!
The service was incredible, we felt very well taken care of. I think my water got refilled 10+ times (I was a very thirsty boy).
The food was very tasty, I was shocked by the focaccia bread. Everything tasted like it was carefully and purposefully put together. I definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the mood for fancy Italian!

My first visit, I was 30, on a night out in town with my new fiance, the concierge at our hotel recommended Serafina. Truly, a night to remember. We danced between tables to a talented lady singing in the corner. Serafina became OUR place over the next few years, whether it was dinner or drinks. My review from that night was printed by Serafina and posted on the wall. I have returned, I’m 51, taking the love of my life out on the town for a New Year’s Eve celebration in. Seattle. I decided to take her to Serafina for an early 5 course dinner…first ones in the door! To shorten this up, in the end we were heartbroken and disappointed. The atmosphere was dry and the food was ok, but the portions were minimal. So small that Lisa was giving some of her food to me. The risotto was fishy, thank God Lisa didn’t want hers because I needed it at twice her size.
In the end, $419 without an additional tip…..ADDITIONAL TIP?!
We got to the hotel to get into casual clothes and walked straight to Dick’s for a cheeseburger and fries. This time Lisa wanted to eat, poor thing. I will return for regular menu food, with Lisa, but right now I’m unhappy with New Years Eve
