“SERAFINA” in Italian translates to both “angel of the sea” and “fine evening”. Those who have been there completely agree! This beautifully romantic, candlelit trattoria is nestled in Victoria Park on a gorgeous view of the Middle River. Its doors open to the most irresistibly charming ambiance and aromas of fantastic Mediterranean flavors. Serafina has a covered and heated patio so guests can enjoy their surroundings in every season!

    First time dining at Serafina, it was absolutely amazing. From ambience to the our main dishes. I enjoyed every bit of being there by the water. The main course was a healthy portion, as well as delicious. Service was great even as they were pretty busy. I will be returning for sure! Lovely time at a lovely place!

    Went for brunch. Found out they are not serving the tuna anymore, which was a big reason i chose the place over others. Not much of a menu selection, but the skirt steak was pretty good at a reasonable price. Service wasn’t the beat at all. Nice to sit by the water (a marina).

    We had a delicious meal last night with a nice bottle of wine and a burrata appetizer. Everything was delicious- very generous portions and it’s so nice to be on the water!

    The food and service were spectacular! The prices and noise level are both very high but the excellence of the food makes up for that. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic dinner, this would not be it but, if you’re looking for incredible taste and service, run, don’t walk!
