Jefferson St.Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible.

    This has become my second favorite restaurant in the Third Ward. The service is outstanding at the bar and while eating and the noise level make it easy to talk with the people you are with. People of all ages eating there, so very fun. The menu is exactly what you expect and the ribeye is as good as it gets. Medium rare was the exact temperature our server suggested.

    We love that Safina's is a family-owned and operated restaurant. The service is impressive. Mariana, the Server, was friendly and helpful. Mr. Giovanni Safina and his son, Sal, were attentive, ensuring our satisfaction. The food is excellently prepared and delicious. The Calamari Fritti was fresh ( too many places serve it rubbery) and perfectly breaded and seasoned. Giovanni's Veal Colleta is a favorite. The Tiramisu is the perfect end to a pleasurable dining experience. This restaurant is a GEM, and we highly recommend dining at Safina's.
