    By far one of the best restaurants in Boston. Food and service is second to none and the staff always takes care of their customers. Avery and Ricardo were amazing as per usual. Love coming back due to the exceptional hospitality

    Made a reservation for a birthday celebration and had a great experience. Riccardo was our server and shared perfect drink and appetizer recommendations. For dinner, I had the house made gnocchi di mamma and it was so delicious. I have now been to the Seaport and Back Bay Serafina locations and both are great. I can now say I prefer the Back Bay spot for a cozier meal. Highly recommend!

    Great atmosphere and great service. I was not a huge fan of the lemon cream bow tie pasta with shrimp but it was still a great meal my boyfriend ate all of his. The waiter asked what was wrong and wanted my feedback and ended up paying for our dessert! so nice would come again

    My pasta dish was extremely salty and hers was extremely peppery, we could only eat half. The server was friendly and helpful though.

    The restaurant was too loud. Only one sever and the food was just ok. We chose this restaurant because we ate at a NY location less than a month ago. We were very disappointed in this Boston location.
