Wow!!! The food here was amazing!! I wish my local every week Italian restaurant could cook like this. The flavors of the sauces were all on point. Some of the best gnocchi I have ever had. The salmon was lite and crunchy and my wife said the spaghetti squash vegetarian dish was just amazing!!!
To top it off the friendly Staff work very well together inside and outside to bring together a great experience.
I loved everything about this place! The interior is refreshing, with lights and beautiful words, like 'gratitude' and 'love', engraved in the walls. The walls had a beautiful combination of colours, hanging chandeliers of wonderful design, and huge rectangular mirrors. The staff was nice and kind, and the food was truly delicious! Go for the vegetable frittata!

A good patio experience on Newbury with decent food.
In Newbury's dining scene, the first thing that often comes to mind is overpriced food that doesn't always deliver on quality. On my recent visit to Serafina during open Newbury, I prepared myself for just that. Yet, the allure of the patio, accentuated by the soothing strains of live street music, beckoned me in.
Once seated, the initial wait for service was a bit lengthy. Thankfully, my food came out quickly. I started off with the tuna tartare, and it was simple but good. With a pleasant flavor kick from sashimi mayo and a pairing with the creamy avocado purée, the dish was both refreshing and satisfying. However, Rigatoni alla Bolognese was a bit underwhelming. It was presented with a richly layered meat sauce – an irresistible blend of beef, veal, and pork – but the rigatoni was undercooked.
Overall, Serafina offers a good, picturesque escape on Newbury. While the food did surpass my initial expectations, it still lacked in quality given the price. Nevertheless, a worthy pit stop if you’re looking for a good blend of ambiance and good food on Newbury without a reservation.
I’m a big fan of pasta and recently I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic restaurant where the pasta was incredibly delicious! A little bit spicy, but the flavor and the texture were perfect. Our waitress was good as well. And luckily we got a table outside and it was so nice to enjoy warm summer evening with a friend and such a great food! I recommend this place!
Incredible spot to stop for delicious Italian food! Outstanding service! Ask for Antonio, he will take great care of you. And with a big smile too!
Thank you for making our last dinner in Boston an unforgettable moment!
I had the salmon the first time I came here and it was amazing. I’ve been here twice and had the penne alla vodka the second time which wasn’t anything special, but I will definitely be coming back for this salmon! The staff is very nice and were very quick with bringing out our food.
Nice italien branded restaurant in the Newbury street. Antipasti, pasta, pizzas and a few meat entrees on the menu but no noticeable fish. I found the food ok but most dish tasted like made from frozen ingredients. Smiling service but was a bit slow as we arrived towards the end (8:15 pm). The room is spacious with uplifting music atmosphere
and the relatively young crowd (Newburry street!!) is reasonably loud.
10/10 would return just for Antonio to be our server again. He gave excellent recommendations for food without the Americanized BS of “Italian” food I.E. we both agreed that cream is heavy for many pasta dishes. On top of that, he also paired our dishes with wonderful wines.
To think that my friends and I accidentally found a table opening on a Saturday night by walking in only to leave smiling and happy that we found a new place we loved!
1st visit and enjoyed my meal fig arugula salad was a great combo and bolognese pasta 🍝 all good and will return other dishes server nice checked up on me good wine 🍷 options
