   Reservation made in advance for 830p. We arrived on time and were not seated until 900p. The restaurant was not exceedingly busy. The hostess did not smile once and appeared annoyed with each question and ring of the phone. The entry is small so we were asked to “wait outside” until our table was ready. We were seated outside as requested but the “water view” was obscured by dark shades pulled down around the patio. No water to see. But there was an exceedingly bright neon light and very loud vibrant music. Didn’t sound Italian at all. Ordered the halibut topped with crab as the waiter described. In reality it was halibut with deviled crab on top. Wish I had known, definitely not my favorite - was expecting lump crab. Overall Not my vibe and didn’t feel very welcomed as a customer. Probably won’t be back.

   The best ricotta cheesecake I have ever had anywhere even in Italy.

   Hadn’t been here in 20 years. Ir was even better than I remember. A beautiful setting, and the vibe was great, as well as the food.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Serafina’s..Portions were large. I feel like one bowl of pasta could feed 2-3 people. We had the fettuccine with chicken, the chef’s special pasta and the bolognese. All were very good.
