Reviews for Serafina | Italian Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I read many reviews and all were excellent so we though we would give it a try. The setting is excellent we had a table outside... on the dock over looking the water. I ordered the old fashion on the drink menu was very good. For dinner wife orderedORECCHIETTE a pasta dinner with sausage and broccoli rabe said it had garlic didn't have any and the sausage had fennel in itwaitress said it didn't. Would have sent it back but she didn't want to watch me eat and I didn't want to see here just sittingthere. So she picked threw it, I had the MILANESE PARMESAN the veal was excellent very tender needed salt now the pasta thatcame with it had NO flavor the tomato sauce was like water and just no flavor. I don't believe We will won’t be back but theserver was great. Read more

Restaurant overall was good,not excellent. The ambiance was nice minus the creepy Halloween decor. Servers were excellent, very... attentive. Food flavors were just ok. We had the calamari which was decent. I had the risotto with shrimp on top( shrimp werelarge and I could cut through them with a fork) and my husband had the lasagna(it was just ok). Very romantic setting especiallyoutside by the docks. Read more

Great Italian food. I enjoyed my mushroom pasta dish with shrimp. I would definitely come back! Nice outside seating as well.

Found this place searching for romantic places in Fort Lauderdale, and I am so glad I did. We celebrated our anniversary in this... restaurant. Not only it's beautiful, romantic and by the water, the most important and stand out thing about this place is THEFOOD. Authentic, delicious, it was amazing. From the appetizers, to the main dishes and dessert. Drinks were also great. Servicewas very good. So, so pleased we are definitely coming back, hopefully soon. Thank you! Read more

This is a local favorite that's tucked away like a secret on the waterfront. Went there with my out of town friends and... everything was excellent! They have excellent service and we got some of the specials. Love the Waterview view too! I highlyrecommend to go there if your on a date or looking to impress a client. Great family owned and will be back soon! Read more

While visiting Fort Lauderdale my friend and I decided to check out this restaurant. We both loved it. The service was amazing.... Our server and also other servers were very polite and helpful. We sat outside. They were packed. A big hen party was going onat the table next to us and our server was still able to keep up with all of the work. The food was delicious. Top notch andportioned well. I almost always finish my meal but I had some leftover because I was so full. Great job! Read more

Serafina in Fort Lauderdale is a real gem that can't be missed. The atmosphere of an evening on the Middle River and the... phenomenal cuisine are hard to be beat! Our evening was great with fantastic caring service to just too many wonderful menuselections from which to choose. The portions were unbelievable causing wide-eyed looks of excitement. (Including pictures butwas so quick to taste and enjoy my dinner that I forgot to take pictures of my meal.) Serafina is a restaurant that should notbe missed and easily becomes a favorite to be visited often. Read more
