• 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.

    The food was incredible and reminded my husband of his trip to Italy with how delicious and authentic the handmade pasta was. The owner and staff were so helpful and friendly and the wine suggestions were spot on. We live in California and will most definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Love that the owner is there to help the staff without hesitation proves the passion and dedication the team has to creating a memorable dining experience for their guests.

    Maitre d was great moved us to a quieter table and our waiter went above and beyond when he located a pillow for my wife’s chair! The drinks are pricey but worth it with top shelf spirits and some expensive ingredients (e.g. chartreuse) rare amaro’s and bitters very nicely balanced and delicious. All the food was excellent, best ceasar salad I have had with addition of Dino kale lots of garlic and creamy Reggiano dressing. Top notch short ribs, scallops and pasta special excellent. 15 years of eating here and the continue to meet a high bar. Cheers!

    We loved our evening at Serafina. The lasagna and eggplant dish were spectacular and service was wonderful. Ambiance was very romantic but the table for two was a bit too small. Other than that, we think this is our favorite Italian spot we’ve tried out of like 17 different states.
