Serafina is a little gem of a restaurant, perched on top of Nob Hill, with views overlooking the city and Bay Bridge. Serafina was owner Maurizio Bruschi’s grandmother, and the name of her eponymous restaurant in the heart of Trastevere (Rome), where Maurizio first began making pizza at the age of 14. The executive chef is Umberto Cannarsa, a successful chef from Rome, who left his own restaurant in Rome to work with Maurizio again. The menu offers everything, including vegetarian options, but specializes in innovative Italian fish dishes, including fresh calamari, stuffed with olives, escarole, anchovies, drizzled with a potato leek sauce, as well as homemade pastas and dolci. The space is warm and elegant, where neighbors and friends can come together.

The rustic, market-driven menu features handmade pasta, pizzas, antipasti, housemade salumi, meat, and fish plus dishes from the Jewish-Roman heritage known as “Cucina Ebraica.” The beverage program focuses heavily on both Italian and Californian wines with a cocktail program that utilizes a variety of spirits, amaros, and seasonal ingredients.

    Very memorable food , service, ambience! Everything is so unusual & most delicious of anything you can imagine. One drawback to our experience: 2 times (one seating after another) they put parents with 2 small children & stroller next to tables of us celebrating birthdays. The children were cranky & disruptive. It put a damper on our enjoyment. I don’t think this is a restaurant for children & I don’t think the parents enjoyed their time. Hopefully next time this will not be happening.

    Marvelous dining experience. Wine paring for the two of us was perfect and every dish was prepared to perfection. The knowledgable, gracious and attentive staff is to be commended. We were greeted warmly upon arrival which set the tone for the superior level of service received.

    10 out of 10, this place was AMAZING! The blended service of ordering items of the menu and Dim sum style with the carts was fantastic. Our server gave up great advise in only ordering a few things from the menu then waiting for the carts to come around. We went here for my wife's birthday and she was so happy we did. We will for sure be back for another special occasion.
