Serafina Back Bay

Had a great brunch at Serafina Back Bay! We were seated right away with our reservation, and the entire staff was warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, and our server Antonio was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Pleasantly surprised from my visit this past weekend at Serafina Back Bay. We walked in without a reservation and were told that we’d have to vacate our table in 45 minutes to accommodate for reservations. While it was a little less time than I expected, I appreciated the fact that they were upfront and didn’t rush us after. Their cocktails were delicious and so was the pasta. This might just be me but I’ve not seen Farfalle pasta offered as much as I’d have liked but Serafina did. The pasta was scrumptious and they were accommodating of dietary restrictions. Pricing was on par with what you’d expect around Back Bay but not too egregious. We didn’t have time for dessert but maybe next time I will. Overall, a great spot for a late afternoon meal.

Can we talk about the red wine sangria at Serafina's?—WOW, it was delicious! I'm not sure what wine you use or what ingredients are in it, but I've yet to find anything that tops it. We stopped in for a late lunch on a surprisingly warm Saturday in March and enjoyed sitting in the outdoor patio area. The service was incredibly friendly too. I had the salad (not pictured) and mushroom risotto, which they kindly let me add an egg to for the brunch timeframe, and my fiancé had a burger. I loved the chill atmosphere amid the hustle and bustle of Newbury Street. Prices were typical considering the location and that we got several drinks. Definitely give it a try if you get the chance!

Went here on Mother’s Day with a friend. We were kind of in a rush and asked the host if it was possible to dine and be out within an hour, even though the place looked pretty busy. They were super accommodating! We sat at the bar, ordered right away, and everything came out quickly. The food was pretty good, and the overall atmosphere was great

Picked up some takeout for my team, I have to say this is the first “vegan” pizza I’ve ever had that I’ve actually enjoyed and would like to get again. The Margarita was pretty outstanding as well, overall very pleasantly surprised by the spot and have no hesitations recommending it!

We were in town for the weekend and celebrated my birthday here for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised at what a nice experience this was! Drinks were great! We had the red sangria and expresso martini. Burrata appetizer was delicious and great to share for three. Bianca pizza, orchiette pasta and spinach ravioli were all delicious! A huge thank you to our wonderful server, Ricardo! He made our night even more special by taking the best care of us, taking photos for us, brining me cake (thank you!) and just being a pleasant, sweetheart! Thanks Ricardo! Until next time!

Serafina is a beautiful restaurant with amazing Italian dishes, wonderful service, and great atmosphere. This is an intimate spot for premium Italian food with quality ingredients and amazing flavour! Food is presented beautifully and it all tastes amazing. I highly recommend the black truffle pasta. You also can’t go wrong with Margherita pizza. The service was also amazing, waiters checked up on at the right time and the manager even came to see how we were doing. The restaurant also isn’t terribly loud so our group didn’t have trouble hearing each other when talking at normal volumes. Highly recommend this spot!!

Average to Good Staff is super friendly and nice, but not very professional. The food’s taste is OK - Used to be way better.. pizza was cold, but Farfalle limoncello was really good. I was a bit disappointed because this restaurant has a huge potential. Hopefully they’ll regroup to the better quality and attention to detail they used to offer.

Serafina Back Bay is a fantastic place to find some delicious Italian food! Menu: They have a pretty extensive menu, covering all the standard pastas and pizza dishes you might expect from an Italian restaurant. Everything looks and smells delicious, and based on what I observed, everyone seems to enjoy the meals. I had the salmon plate recently and it did not disappoint. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the blend of flavors was top notch. They do have quite a few dishes that can accommodate different allergies and dietary restrictions. The menu has a handful of dishes that are dairy-free or vegan (or can be adapted to be vegan) and there is an option to sub gluten-free pasta for the pasta dishes. Experience: The ambiance inside is super chill! I love that you get to experience a calming, pleasant atmosphere, even when every table is filled. It doesn't feel like you have to start yelling across the table, and you still get a sense of privacy between the tables. If you are hoping to come in for a dinner at a certain time, I recommend making a reservation in advance. I did this and was seated promptly, and greeted by a kind server immediately. The restaurant is busy so for a bigger group, would definitely recommend planning ahead to avoid a long wait. Once seated, they provide complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, which is a nice way to start the meal. The servers we had were very kind, attentive, and had great recommendations on the menu and specials. Location: They are located right in the heart of Newbury Street, surrounded by so many fun shops and other cafes and restaurants. The entrance is tucked away from the street, and during the colder seasons, you might miss it if you are just strolling by (and don't pay attention to the yellow awning outside). t's nice because you really get to enter into a chill environment that you forget about the hustle and bustle on the street outside.

This place as so cute! Stopped in by myself for dinner while in town for work. The server was so nice and suggested the house made pasta. I got carbonara and it was good. My only complaint is that I don't like peas in my carbonara but I understand that is how some places will prepare it. Overall a great little place on Newbury!

Came in for Sunday lunch. Not very busy so we were seated immediately. My dinning partner is gluten free and throughly enjoyed her meal... which is rare.

Katherine Labelle, the director of events helped me plan a birthday dinner for my daughter and ten of her friends! She was so responsive to my emails and so patient and kind with all of the changes I had to make leading up to the celebration. Katherine and her colleagues made everything perfect the night of the party! The service was excellent and the food was delicious! We love Serafina and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! We look forward to our next visit there soon!

Delicious and warm Italian food! They have great bread that we had a lot of, in the true spirit of Italian places. My bolognese was delicious and quite filling- perfectly al dente pasta and great flavor. Service was good and with a reservation we were seated immediately.

I was really wowed by my experience here! My girlfriend and I made a reservation and were seated promptly, immediately served with complimentary bread and olive oil. It was delicious, and a great way to kick off the night. Aria served us and offered great insight into the menu and made it a great experience! I ordered the farfalle a limoncello while my girlfriend opted for chicken parm, and we raved about both meals. I added mixed vegetables to my pasta, and it was delicious. The sauce was perfect, a lemony-creamy masterpiece that was the best consistency. I added parmesan cheese and chili flakes, and it was game over. Such a great option and great location! I'll be back for that farfalle :)

All I can say is WOW! After a long trek through Newbury St, we finally decided to stop at Serafina's for an Italian dinner. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The pasta dish I tried here was better than any I've had in the North End, which says a lot. The service was great, and we enjoyed some bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar to start off with. Highly highly highly recommend the Farafelle Al Limoncello. The lemon sauce pairs fantastically with the pasta cooked perfectly, and the shrimp was so fresh and flavorful. The cherry tomatoes were done right and added a great burst of flavor to the dish as well. The Serafina burger was also very good, with a unique paste of bacon jam smeared on it. It leans more towards the sweeter side, but compliments the savory flavors from the burger very well. The fries were also incredible, but I should've gotten them truffle style! Not to worry, because I will be back immediately.

What a beautiful weekend it was and perfect weather to sit outside on Newbury Street enjoying a great meal! That's exactly what we did after walking around the Boston Common and gardens and walked along Newbury Street to find a place for dinner. Had passed by this place many times in the past but finally got a chance to try it out and it was great! I ordered the sautéed branzino which came with a really nice tangy sauce and cherry tomatoes. The two fillets was quite a big portion although I would have liked if it also came with a small side of rice or potatoes. There was complimentary bread so that was nice. The hubs got the orichiette pasta dish with sausage and that was quite delicious as well. Service was friendly and efficient. It was really nice enjoying the outside and a great meal. As we finished it started raining just a bit - good thing we were done and just went inside downstairs to the restaurant to pay the bill and waited there for our Uber. The inside of the restaurant was really nice too and it seems like a popular place even on a Sunday. Overall great experience!

For some reason my boyfriend has been wanting me to try this place out for the longest so I finally gave in. Honestly I wasn't a huge fan of the dish that I ordered. The pasta was very heavy on my stomach for some reason. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside and enjoyed nature. Maybe in the future I will try a different location out.

Serafina is great! They gave us a bunch of free bread to start with which was appreciated and we got the Arancini as an appetizer which was DELICIOUS! For our main courses my boyfriend got the vodka sauce and I got the pesto and they were both really good but maybe a bit too creamy, mine could've had a more pesto flavor than cream flavor and it was very heavy. But overall this meal was great, the only thing that's not is the price because it does feel overpriced for what it is. But it's newbury street so I guess that's expected.

Stopped at Serafina for lunch over the long weekend. It was lovely weather outside and I was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away! The servers were very attentive and gave us plenty of time to decide. I had the cacio e pepe and my friend got the aglio e oglio and we both tried each others. The pasta came out steaming hot and was delicious. The aglio e oglio was the right amount of spicy and garlicky and the cacio e pepe was creamy and peppery. A great place to go to for lunch

Went there without a reservation on a Friday night. They were able to accommodate us right away which was nice. We sat on the patio and shared the truffle arancini and it was definitely the best thing we've ordered. We were not impressed with the pasta dishes, it wasn't bad but it also wasn't wow. The service was nice and friendly. Overall it's a great spot with comfortable seating and nice decor but the food could be more exciting.

I had a delicious brunch at Serafina. My friend and I ordered the shakshuka, and it was amazing. The spices were perfect and the feta really added flavor, and the bread was perfectly toasted. The restaurant itself is so warm and comforting - it feels very cozy but also elegant at the same time. The design is so creative and the decor is unique, and creates a really cool vibe to the place. The service was good - the food came out quite quick and our server was friendly. I enjoyed my brunch at Serafina and I would recommend it, especially the shakshuka!

Tonight we ordered from this establishment through uber eats. Two pasta dinners, one very good and one good enough. Two salads, one missing and one subpar. Specifically, the misto greens with added grilled chicken was not delivered - only the chicken arrived. And the romaine Caesar was light on leafiness heavy on ends - which made for a bitter and texturally poor salad. The parm was ordered with extra sauce for which we were charged though it was not delivered. Frustratingly, our request to have the items not delivered removed from the bill was denied. Much better options available for Italian, both for food and service. Too bad this place was once good but will not be given a chance to redeem itself.

The branzino was right, The place had a nice, comfortable vibe, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Serafina Back Bay is a good choice. Go thru if in the area.

Nice outdoor dining if you're willing to wait. Inside is quieter and most likely cooler, too, if it is during the day. We tried the eggplant parmesan and the beef rigatoni bolognese. Fair portions and very good and cheesy. Located in the charming Newbury part of Back Bay, among several cute shops and restaurants.

Ok I think the plates are comically big, but no joke the Tagliolini Alla Portofino is one of the best pastas I have had in Boston. It was so rich and so creamy. Wow. The gnocchi was also delicious - it was flavorful in a classic way. There was free bread, yum. The waiter was kind and attentive. The outdoor dinner area looked nice too. I am impressed!

Great place for a date night. My partner and I really enjoyed our food and experience. The waiter was attentive and offered good service. Food -- Taglioini alla portofino: I got this because there was a previous yelp review that raved about it. They were right. It was delicious and unique. I usually get the basic when it comes to pasta but decided to step out of my comfort zone and so glad I did. The overall pasta texture was good (some parts were stuck together though but it's okay). I am a big fan of the pesto sauce and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The pine nuts also added some texture and hint of flavor too. Chicken Alfredo: First off the chicken was tender and juicey. The sauce was a tad salty in my opinion though. Overall it met expectations but didn't exceed it. Truffle Arancini: I loveeee arancinis and it was cooked just right (crispy on the outside and soft rice filling with cheese). The hint of truffle was also nice. One thing I personally didn't like was the marinara sauce. At other places, it was just the arancini itself and I enjoyed that more.

Serafina is a restaurant I keep coming back to. I typically go for the Gnocchi Mamma but this time I got the Tagliolini Alla Portofino Pasta and was loving it! The creamy pesto sauce was delicious and the noodles were tender - would definitely get again. As a gluten free option we also got the Spaghetti Squash with Chicken added on. The patio is great for summer nights but we did encounter a bee looking to taste our food. The waitstaff allowed us to move inside to escape and then we had no more problems.

3 1/2 stars. Enjoy dinner outside & had good service. We enjoyed some wine, beer, meatballs, & the mushroom pizza. Food was very good. Taking stars off for the kitchen not making my pizza crispy well done, despite my emphasizing to the server about this. They made me a whole new pizza and it was very good, This place is also very pricey for what it is. Enjoyable.

I went there with two friends for dinner on Friday night and it was amazing. The drinks were great, and the food was delicious. The tagliolini Al tartufo Nero was the best pasta I've ever had in my life. Sitting outside was great- it is right on Newbury street! Every employee we talked to was super nice and the manager came over to check in as well. Great ambiance and vibes for sure!Would definitely recommend walking or Ubering as parking can be tough on Newbury.

This dinner was amazing! The 15x4 cocktail has a special place on my all-time favorites list, it was so good! We got the truffle fries, Al Funghi pizza, and shrimp scampi rigatoni pasta. The shrimp scampi, as our amazing waitress stated, was the BEST I've ever had. So buttery, creamy, and well cooked--I will be back for the shrimp scampi! Considering we sat outside on Sunday, the open Newbury Street made this dinner absolutely wonderful!

The food was very good and flavorful. The service was ok. They have a great location too. The establishment itself is very nice. The decor is warm and inviting.

Went there with friends and family. We had a good meal. Loved the focaccia bread and Tiramisu. The pizza was good too.

Came here for an early dinner since we were already on Newbury St, and were craving some Italian food. The inside of the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated with an Italian vibe, except for the giant TV screen playing a soccer game, which sort of seemed out of place. We decided to share a salad, Margherita pizza, and gnocchi (with steak tips added) to try a little bit of everything. Everything came out solid, and tasted good. The added steak was particularly well seasoned and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was also very fast and attentive. If you're in the area and craving Italian then Serafina is worth it, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, given the price point.

Great Variety of Pizza.Great service. a little bit loud but I think it's good if you going out with a group of friends and family it's have an atmosphere for it.Not so much for romantic night out for couples.

Pizza city Came here for a group din. Decent selection of drinks. Started off with the bruschetta which was decent but nothing special. Got a bunch of pizzas, some veg, some meat. Came out quick and hot. The slices were thin and crispy with just enough bend when you lift it up which is how I like it. Ingredients were fresh w/ good amount of toppings. Funghi pizza was my fave. Solid overall. Good spot when you want pizza but want something better than dominos.

Serafina's been around and I've never tried them until now. The food is ok, nothing too memorable. The food is decent if you are not looking for anything authentic. My biggest problem was the food felt rushed to be brought out. We just got our appetizer salad to start and two bites into the salad the entrees came out. Honestly, the restaurant was even busy, so I don't see what the rush was to push the entrees out so quickly. The pizza and pasta I ordered was cold by the time we finished our salad. I was not thrilled about eating cold pizza and pasta.

I've been to several Serafina locations, and had great experiences, unfortunately this one was very disappointing due to rude and completely inattentive service. Our waitress laughed in our face when we asked for a straw for our young child's cup and said "it'll be a while" (never came). Then when I asked for a pizza by its toppings because I had forgotten its exact name at the moment she told me "listen, just tell me the name", with a serious attitude. Add to this, we were left for roughly 20-25 minutes after we ate before she came back to check on us and give us the check. I'd never go back, and it makes me wonder how this place is part of the same group of restaurants I've enjoyed so much elsewhere. There are better offerings more deserving of your money.

Mid-price Italian location near Newbury, ok food. Came with some friends and we got some pizzas and the Orecchiette Napoli and Ravioli Alla Salvia. The Ravioli Alla Salvia was good, though the portion I thought was a little small for the price. Nothing really special, though a solid dough with a standard light ricotta flavor. Brown butter and sage didn't really standout in the dish. The Orecchiette Napoli could've been good but it was so salty. Like so salty it was unbearable-- I don't know how they didn't taste it first. Had multiple sources confirm from multiple tables that got the same dish and agreed. Super disappointed because the flavors were there but the salt was so overbearing. We drank all the water and asked for two more jugs because it was so salty. The pizzas were ok, particularly liked the gluten-free option dough! Service was great, the server was nice and willing to help. The vibes of the restaurant are small and intimate, a nice experience overall. I've been in Italian restaurants but I wish the bread basket was a little more-- it was plain with no additional dip/sauce/spread, but maybe they're going the super traditional route.

I came here on a Friday night for a friend's birthday and was sadly disappointed with the taste of the food. Service 4.5/5 Was seated fairly quickly for a reservation for 7 on a Friday night. The hostess and our waiter was friendly and attentive to our needs. We asked for another basket of bread for our table and the staff was quick in service. Our waiter made sure to get our order correct, especially since we had someone gluten free in our party and made sure to attend to their order appropriately. I was happy that despite the large party and busy night, we were taken care of well. Atmosphere 3.5/5 I have only been to the Back Bay location so I can only speak to this location. It was moderately loud and so it was quite hard to hear our party from the other side of the table. For bigger parties, they have these awkward size round tables that make it inconvenient to have to yell across the table or pass food around. The interior design was pleasant and the slightly dimmer lighting was a nice touch during dinner time. Food 1/5 I split the Tagliolini di Portofino (pasta) and Capricciosa (pizza) with my bf and were very disappointed with the taste of both dishes. The pizza had no seasoning and tasted very bland. It merely tasted as though the ingredients were put together on the pizza but no extra effort was made to make it anything special. The pizza slice also fell apart each time I tried to pick it up, with all the ingredients falling off along with it. In terms of the pasta, I was curious to try it since it's one of their most popular dishes. Sad to say, but the pasta does not have much taste in their sauce either, with no seasoning and pasta was a bit too al dente. The flavor combination felt a bit strange with green beans, potatoes, pasta and pine nuts but we felt as though it could have done without the green beans and potatoes. Overall both dishes were very bland and were very disappointed with what was served in front of us, especially since the menu prices are on the slightly more upscale side.

What a pleasant surprise. We stopped in for lunch and all left happy. Cocktails were great, the room is comfortable and we had friendly and attentive service. I had the cacio e pepe, which was very nice. Others at the table tried some of the breakfast frittatas, which they said was delicious. Another diner had the bolognese, which was nice and flavorful. We thought portions were reasonable and prices fair. We will have to come back for dinner sometime and to explore the menu a bit more deeply

Owner Charges You For Ice In Drink See bill below. When check arrived, we pointed it out to waiter that our 4 vodka/sodas were charged $12 for ice. We said we would not pay it, since that was not disclosed on menu, in fine print, disappearing ink, back of the chair or anywhere else. He didn't say a word and took bill away & manager arrived. She proceeded to argue with us that that was standard and the way it comes up on their register. We said by law charging for an item has to be disclosed somewhere before you can make it a legal "agreement" that the customer and provider have agreed to the product and agreed to the price. She proceeded to argue with us about it for some time. She finally comp'ed us 15% which sort of took it off (it was still there but the total price was reduced and then some). In fairness, the service was good, food good, and manager was nice, but enforcing her owner's policies (so I gave 2 stars for food and serv). Waiter never said a word. I don't think he could explain it to us with a straight or honest face and didn't even want to try to. So I took away 3 starts for ownership and its policies.

I've walked past this place a bunch of times when on Newbury St. I decided to go here on a whim. I was kind of hangry, and stumbled in here to satisfy my hunger. EXPERIENCE I sat by myself at the bar on a Tuesday for early dinner. The bartender served me. She was very accommodating, and checked in on me a lot. It was a swift and casual evening. FOOD (4/5) Tagliolini Di Portofino (fresh tagliolini, basil pesto, parmigiano reggiano, green beans, diced potatoes, touch of cream, topped with pine nuts) - The pasta was well cooked. The sauce was really delicious, not too creamy or salty. The potatoes were perhaps a bit undercooked for my liking, not soft enough when you bite into it. I really enjoyed the addition of the pine nuts for more depth of flavor and added texture. An intentional crunch, unlike the potatoes. OVERVIEW It was a fine meal, not super gourmet. The service was good, but they also were not that busy. I thought the entire experience overall was positive. I don't have a strong desire to go back, but I don't have any regrets about going.

I went here for dinner and drink for a girls night an totally loved it. The pasta dishes were so incredible and my gluten free friend said her gf pasta was amazing as well. We did walk-in and got a patio table (on a very hot day). Looking past the weather. It was a great time

Was looking to get a quick delicious dinner and this was just the place! Service was very quick and all staff were super nice and helpful. Even took us right in without a reservation! I am gluten free and they had the most delicious pasta and bread options so I absolutely recommend checking it out. Very accommodating!

We had such a great time here when we visited Boston! My sister and I ordered the Al Pacino and it was soooo good. Everyone finished their meal, including my 2 year old! The kids meals even come with ice cream which is super fun. We saw a few other kids there. The place seemed somewhat family friendly. We made a same day dinner reservation in the afternoon but we're able to get a table earlier. We had a stroller with us and ended up having to carry it down in to the restaurant. They have outdoor patio seating if you aren't able to take the stairs (I didn't see an elevator or another way to get down, but I could be wrong). We'll be back next time we visit!

Came here with a few friends on a hot Saturday afternoon. We were able to get seated right away. Service was attentive when we first sat down as were still deciding what we wanted. Afterwards it was a little difficult to find our server at times. For drinks we got a few mules which were made with fresh mint, exactly what we needed when hanging out under the sun. My friend got a margarita pizza gluten free due to her celiac disease. I got a tagliolini tartufo Nero and my other friend got the grilled salmon. The pizza dough was surprisingly similar to non gluten free and had strips of basil on top. I liked the flavor of the pizza but was anticipating the beautiful slices of heirloom tomatoes on top. My other friends loved the grilled salmon but was very disappointed that the winsome pesto sauce was all dried out, essentially only for show. He also mentioned how he enjoyed the cannelloni bean salad underneath. My pasta dish had a charming amount of truffle taste but was definitely on the oily side with the pasta being slightly undercooked in my opinion (coming from someone who usually likes al dente in general). Overall, decent experience but would like to try another establishment on newbury street before coming back here.

A nice place with good service. The menu as a nice selection of entrees and food. The bar is off to the side which is nice. We did find the place a little bit of a challenge to find, but this may be more of our fault. Glad we stopped by for dinner.

I went to Serafina in Back Bay for a friend's birthday and it was my first time going there. I come from a very Italian family so I am usually very picky when it comes to Italian food but Serafina had me pleasantly surprised. So much so that my roommates and I UberEats it all the time now. I got the penne alla vodka and it was delicious. The only note I would say is that the plates are just way too big for the portion they give you.

the food was good. the problem lies in the misleading menu that appears outside of the restaurant for viewers to peruse. it offers an 8oz filet mignon with French fries for $26.00. However the menu presented to me inside the restaurant showed the same steak and fries for $45.00. I questioned the waitress who denied this discrepancy . We walked outside and I pointed out the dinner in question. She got the manager who was not agreeable and stated the steak was $45.00. No apologies, no explanation. This was a deliberate case of false advertising- bait and switch. Not good business practice and certainly doesn't promote returning diners.

Had a great meal and service was excellent. Together we had the rigatoni bolognese and the limoncello bow ties. Both were good, bolognese was better - lots of flavor. The sangria (special recipe) is tasty, the special recipe might include nutmeg - you decide! Tiramisu was very good, gelato was good. Overall a very good meal, service and ambiance. Make a reservation, people were being turned away on a Saturday night.

Terrible service, underwhelming food for the price. Better places to spend your money

A very nice place to grab lunch during a shopping break. It was not very crowded on a Sunday early afternoon. We both ordered pasta and they are both tasty. Truffle fries has a huge portion given it's only a side. Everything tastes great here including coffee. Such a gem on the busy street. I would come back again.

Went here because it was on Seated (use my code carlotta11 for $5 credit when you sign up!), and was not disappointed! it's in the heart of Newbury Street, and we easily got a reservation for the patio. Great atmosphere, and great food! I ordered the penne alla vodka, which I had been craving, and my friend ordered the farfalle al limoncello but substituted the shrimp with chicken. Both were delicious, and the portions were fair, neither of us had any leftovers to bring home.. I am also so glad we shared the tiramisu, it was perfect!

Came here for dinner with 5 people and had no problem getting a reservation a couple days in advance and they were very accommodating. Food and drinks were great! We ordered the lemon pasta with shrimp, pesto pasta, pizza, steak, and chicken parm. A little bit of everything and everyone enjoyed their meals. Ambiance was nice but a little more casual than I was expecting. Would love to try their seaport location next!

Loved this place! We had no reservation but we were randomly in the area and decided to ask nicely and they fit us in. All 3 of us cleaned our plates and it was delicious!! The gnocchi with olive oil and garlic was divine. The dressing was n the salad was so good I refused to share. My kids chocolate milk and pasta was gone in a heartbeat. We will absolutely be back in nyc or dc again!

Such a niche place! It's an underground restaurant and was very insta-coded with murals on the wall. I reserved a table ahead and sat down at 8:15 for dinner. My family and I were only in town for 1 day, but this completed our experience. I was initially worried that the staff wouldn't take me seriously because I was a kid, which I have read reviews about, but the staff was so kind and attentive. The food came quick and was incredible! Please get the aranchini it was the best I've ever had (coming from an Italian who is very fond on aranchini). I got the ravioli alla salvia and it did not flop. Hands down was incredible. Portions were kind of small for the price, but the taste made up for that. I tried my family's meals and they were incredible. I highly recommend to anyone looking for the most delicious pasta of their life!

I had a great experience with the food at the Seaport so I suggested this location for brunch. The service was great, our waiter was attentive. But man, the food was not good. No one enjoyed their food because it was so bland. The Cacio E Pepe tasted like nothing, it really had no flavor. So plain. The Tartufo Nero Pizza was not what I expected. It was just so cheesy and I love cheese but there was no type of texture or crisp. Just like a slice of melted cheese. It was not edible, I couldn't even take it home. I usually get the Carbonara but they didn't have that option here. Probably won't be able to eat here again to avoid disappointment.
