• Italian • Lake Union / Eastlake

Serafina opened its doors in 1991 as an intimate neighborhood restaurant located along Eastlake between the University and Downtown. Its intimate, sultry atmosphere, outdoor garden seating and its authentic Italian cuisine make it a favorite with diners from around the Puget Sound and beyond. Serafina's philosophy is simple: Offer the freshest, highest quality ingredients, present the food in an honest and inviting way, and provide the casual warmth and soothing ambiance that echoes the welcoming embrace of an Italian home.The ritual of coming together sharing wine and food with family and friends is the central motif in our lives. Italian food has an immediacy, honesty, and warmth; it possesses the spirit of a grandmother's wisdom and love. Italian food isn't about trailblazing alchemy or edible high fashion; Italian food is about staying connected—to each other, to the past, to the earth.

    We finally made it here after years of walking by the door! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor, great service, live music, and fantastic menu. We got lucky and were seated in the back room with a view!

    The Chilean Seabass and hamachi crudo are 10/10 , the cocktails are great, and service is always excellent. The desserts are the only thing that could use some work- I have tried them all and they are in the 5/6 out of 10 range for me.

    I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!
