    Food portions have gotten smaller since Serafina expanded globally. The quality also changed. Our daughter’s pasta was an appetizer portion. The veal scallopini was a small portion, the potatoes were not cooked through. We miss the original Serafina.

    Not as impressive this time. We visited the Tribeca location last time, and it was outstanding. Serafina Always was just okay. We had a reservation and were seated late, being made to stand in a very awkward spot to the side while waiting. The staff was what I would call on the edge of pretentious and rude. We were not offered a spot at the bar to wait or anything. We were seated upstairs with a million screaming children at a table up against a window. It was extremely cold and very little space to maneuver. Had a great bottle of Malbec but the food was just ok. Would not return.

    Not a good experience. Didn’t get our meals brought out together. Extremely small portions for the price and food was lukewarm at best. Dined there once before and it was delicious. Probably done dining there. Too many inconsistencies.
