Absolutely outstanding dinner at Serafina Tribeca! From the moment we walked in, everything was flawless. The food is hands-down some of the best Italian I’ve had in Manhattan – every dish was perfectly executed, bursting with flavor, and made with clearly high-quality ingredients. The pasta was al dente perfection and the sauces rich and authentic. Pure heaven. What truly elevated the entire experience, though, was the incredible service, especially from our server Umby. She was an absolute gem – warm, attentive, genuinely kind, and made us feel so taken care of from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot-on, her timing impeccable, and her smile and energy made the night even more special. Umby is a superstar and a big reason we’ll be coming back again and again! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine paired with heartfelt hospitality in Tribeca, Serafina is a must. Already counting down the days until our next visit! Highly, highly recommend – thank you Umby and the whole team!

Came here on a Saturday, ambience is nice, tables are kind of on the closer side but not too bad. Drinks are nice & strong, food is okay nothing to brag about unfortunately. The scallops & shrimps were very fresh and seasoned well. The entree, the chicken breast gave small chicken chunks with alot of green beans, would of rather more mushrooms, it was editable.

Excellent food , one of the most delicious eggplants I’ve had in NY. The service was exceptional from our server Patricia, and the drinks and attention from the bartender Paulie were the highlight of the night . I will definitely be coming back to this location with my friend, as the warmth and hospitality from the manager Pablo were a 10/10. Thank you guys for making our evening so memorable.

I’ve visited this Serafina location twice, and both times the food, service, and ambiance were fantastic. I had the pepperoni pizza and penne alla vodka, both were exceptional. The calamari was good, though not quite as memorable, and the crème brûlée was delicious. I’ve sat both in the covered patio area and inside the restaurant, and the service was consistently excellent each time. Highly recommended!

An incredible experience! They made me feel at home. The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was fantastic. This place is ideal for authentic Italian flavor. I want to congratulate Sebas, who made some amazing drinks and provided excellent service, as well as the very kind and attentive server Patricia; and Pablo, the manager, who took care of every detail of my stay. This place will be one of my favorite restaurants

Pretty standard Italian restaurant, it’s what you would expect for this kind of place in NYC. Meatballs were my favorite. Good to go with the family and kids. We used inkind coupon and gift certificate so it was a fair bit cheaper than the sticker price.
