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!

I stopped in here for a drink and snack after my flight was delayed. I sat at the bar and had some great food and great wine. The service was amazing especially Shelby who made me feel so welcome. She did such a great job with recommendations and overall service. I would definitely come back.

I don’t know how Serafina got so lucky with Jordyn and Shelby. Truly one of a kind. If you have the blessing by our almighty god lord and savor to be served by these two beautiful independent extravagant woman I promise it will be hard to leave the venue. Truly and immaculate experience I thrive to relive over and over an over.
But seriously, it was a wonderfully night with these ladies they are awesome!

We stopped in for a light lunch on a beautiful sunny Saturday, and I was impressed with the service which was attentive but unobtrusive. Thankfully they had a table outside, and I have to say that the housemaid tagliarini with shaved black truffles was out of this world. And the portion was just the right size for lunch. We ended up splitting a gorgeous fig salad. I know that it's part of a chain, but it also has a very personalized vibe to it as if it was born on Newbury Street.

Had a really great experience here a few days ago. This location is in the heart of Newbury st and usually I wouldn't venture there just because of the parking. However due to the coronavirus I was actually able to easily find a spot on the street. They have a good outdoor seating area and are also offering limited indoor dining as well. Now for the good stuff....started out with burrata and prosciutto, just a delicious melt in your mouth appetizer. For main I had a bolognese and my friend had the cacio e Pepe. Both were absolutely divine, perfect comfort food. We also decided to share the penne all vodka and it was worth a couple bites and to take home. Lastly finished of with a light and not to sweet tiramisu. Only tiny complaint I have is the mango mojito was a little sweet. Either way stop by when you are in town!

Great food at Sarafina! Just like the other locations. We had the truffle pizza, gnocchi with vodka sauce, and the prosciutto with mozzarella. Good food and good service with not a long wait. Truffle pizza is so rich in flavor here. Can’t wait to go back!

This place is great. The food and the restaurant were great. The outside patio is very nice. The music is also good. They had a little trouble figureing out what I was talking about when I described a dish. But the food ended up being so good.
