• Italian • Lake Union / Eastlake

Booked 31 times today

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.

It's turning into our favorite place. The menu is well curated to appeal to many tastes without being too long and trying to cover every single base. The food has always been top shelf, cocktails well made, and the staff is warm and welcoming.

10/10 from the beginning to the end. Seamless and quick check in. We arrived to our table with a 'Happy Birthday' card which was such a nice and personable touch. We have been here many times, and have enjoyed our experience with every single one of our servers! Ask for wine pairings with your meal - you will not be disappointed. My menu highlights are the fried calamari, the filetto with gnocchi and the lobster pappardelle... The chefs are amazing! You cannot go wrong with anything from their menu. We ended our dinner with a complimentary dessert for my bf's bday and had coffee and biscotti to top it all off. **They offer free parking too so you don't have to walk in the rain! Make sure you validate your parking with the QR code or with the host.
