My wife and I had dinner at Serafina last night and we certainly understand now the reasons behind the rave reviews. The food was excellent. We sat outdoors right on the water and the place had a very nice and relaxed ambience. The service was excellent as well. I could tell that every staff person was trying their best and hustling around. Staff was very attentive and sincere. My wife had pasta with a pear stuffing and pesto sauce. I had a generous serving of muscles in a garlic, white wine sauce and the whole branzino, which was perfectly deboned. It may not be in a fancy hotel or overlooking the Fort Lauderdale beaches, but this is a wonderful restsurant with great food, service, and ambience. . 

Casa D'Angelo always delivers a fabulous experience. The food is outstanding. The bread, olives and cheese plate that comes out before you even had a chance to review the menu is a very nice way to start the evening. Our group started with the stuffed zucchini blossoms, burrata and the eggplant parmigiana appetizer. All were delicious. For the mains we had the veal chop parmigiana, stuffed pork chop, the ravioli special (stuffed with ricotta and spinach in a sage butter sauce), and the cacio e pepe. All were fabulous. Not to be outdone by the food, our server also helped make the evening a wonderful experience as we celebrated our friend's 70th birthday. Aba was extremely attentive, but not intrusive. Her recommendations on the appetizers were spot on! It's wonderful to dine in an establishment that pays so much attention to both the quality of the food preparation as well as client satisfaction to make the dining experience very memorable.

The meal, atmosphere and service was outstanding. We throughly enjoyed our meals. There were 4 of us. We all had drinks and they were tasty. Hazelnut Old fashioned was good. (A drop too sweet, but I had them put less frangrlica in my second one and it was perfect) espresso martini was incredible. Caesar salad were very good. Appetizer of mixes cheese balks was fantastic. The veal parmigiana was great. Their lasagne was meaty and delicious. The fusilli with chicken, goat cheese, sun dried tomato and balsamic dressing was tasty and the sausage pasta was amazing. Dessert was great. Service was excellent and Jason (the owner) came by and he was a welcoming and great guy. Coming back again on Sunday and bringing my parents

Food and service were outstanding, everyone from the host to the waiter down to the buss staff were friendly and helpful. I had the lamb shank which was outstanding, others in my party enjoyed shrimp, red snapper and swordfish. I would like to point out that it was busy because of Valentine’s Day but no one missed a beat. A little too noisy for my taste but not for those enjoying the energetic vibe.

We had a wonderful meal at Padrino's. The combination appetizer platter was excellent. Our server was very efficient. All entrees were tasty, but we especially enjoyed the churrasco steak!
