Serafina Downtown Miami | Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

The food was amazing and the restaurant is phenomenal. I got the crispy calamari, risotto of the day which it had all the seafood in it and definitely didn’t taste super fishy it was a super nice blend. Their tiramisu was really good and better than I expected. Definitely took me back to Italy for sure! The service was so great. Samet helped me with what I should choose and he was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu as well with the restaurant even if he’s been there for short time. Excellent service, food and atmosphere definitely will be back again!!!

Stunning space in a beautiful newish area downtown. The space is amazing. Realize it is Miami but I just got back from NYC and felt the comparative prices here were ridiculous for the quality of food. The least expensive spaghetti with tomato sauce (no protein) is $25. It was ok. They advertise San Marzano tomatoes in it but I question it. Service was VERY friendly and accommodating. Shortrib ravioli was ok for $36 for lunch. Looks like it would be a lot of fun at happy hour. Raspberry espresso martini was wonderful!

Attended Serafina Downtown Miami for date night last night. Our server was Daniel and he was very attentive and kind. Our food arrived to our table very fast. It was delicious and you could tell, house-made. I ordered the Gnocci, it was soft and delicious. Only thing I feel it was missing was a nice piece of bread. The tiramisu for dessert was quite good as well. I loved the chocolate shavings on top. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and would return next time we visit Miami.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. On top of that, the service was outstanding. Jessica was extremely attentive, friendly, and professional, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of at all times. Thanks to her excellent service and the incredible food, our visit was truly memorable. I highly recommend this place and especially Jessica!

Serafina in downtown is hands down one of my favorite spots. The food is consistently amazing, but the mussels are on another level—absolutely delicious and always perfectly cooked. What truly makes this place special, though, is the service. The bartenders, Kat and Alyza, are incredible. Their energy, professionalism, and genuine care for guests are the reason I became a regular. They always make you feel welcome and taken care of, and they know exactly how to elevate the whole experience. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. Highly recommend!

Ok, so I don’t like to give this kind of review, but unfortunately this place just... I don’t even have the words to express my disappointment. I chose this place for my partner’s birthday and was excited because it was a new spot and we love Italian food. When we arrived, we had to wait a few minutes until someone was available to attend to us. When we saw the host, we asked her if that was where we were supposed to wait, and she said yes—just wait for me, I’ll be right back—which never happened. A lovely woman showed us a few minutes later where to sit and was kind, especially since the table was for four and we were just two. They offered us prosecco on the house, and we appreciated the gesture. We waited more than 15 minutes until someone took our order. The waiter was really kind and did his best with the resources available to him. As for the food, it wasn’t anything extraordinary. Honestly, I’ve been in better places. My boyfriend ordered a truffled beef carpaccio and bruschetta, which weren’t good. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, and I have to say that was the best dish of the bunch. I also ordered truffle fettuccine, and my boyfriend had spaghetti al pacino. According to him, it wasn’t bad, but unfortunately, the chef didn’t want to accommodate our requests, so we moved on. I honestly didn’t have a good time there. Maybe it was just that day, or I don’t know, but for a barely new place, it was pretty empty. And can we talk about the bill? Too expensive for that quality. The worst money I have ever spent P.S.: Please also pay attention to the restrooms. They were pretty disgusting.

Stopped by Serafina with a friend to kill some time before a Miami Heat game and really enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. We first sat at the tables near the bar, but no one came by after several minutes. As soon as I moved to the bar, we were helped within two minutes. We had two glasses prosecco, a Margherita pizza, and the fried calamari. The pizza was just okay, but the calamari were really good. Overall, a nice experience, and I’d come back to try more of the menu.

I come to Serafina often as a regular usually sitting up at the bar area. Kat is awesome and a great bartender! The food is great and atmosphere is perfect. There is a good balance of happy hour food specials + regular menu items. Also they sponsored an event with my apartment complex. It was very nice and great environment for meeting other people. The best items are the Alfredo with chicken, the meatballs and the chocolate cake. It's great Italian food matching the quality of other restaurants in the area. Recently my last two visits were really great. I could not travel for Christmas because of nose surgery. Serafina had a Christmas brunch which was so great and made my holiday. Also for New Year's eve they had a nice menu with really good cake. Serafina is fitting into the neighborhood very nicely and caters both to tourists and the regulars like myself very well.

This Italian restaurant/bar is located across the street from Kaseya Center and is definitely worth trying, especially around Happy Hour, which should be going on right before the evening Heat game. The Happy Hour menu has standouts like the meatballs, Margarita pizza, and Mussels for $12. You can also pick off their extensive menu. The outdoor seating area is large and comfy. The interior is also very special and upscale. What really brings this eating experience together is the friendly and courteous staff.

Nice high end Italian restaurant. They had a classy bar setup and some decent specials. It was very full, barely one seat open. The bar tender that took care of us was a little rough around the edges. Wasn't really hearing our order correctly, and forgot to bring out a drink. For a high end spot, would have expected a different level of training or screening; however, she also wasn't rude. Maybe just an off night, which is human. The truffle fries were really nice! I'd come back here to give it another shot, and especially try the food.

We dined in the evening during a RNB event that created great vibes. The aesthetics and the seating were pleasing to the eye. Our server name was Tammy but she wasn't very attentive to our table but we asked another guy for assistance whenever she wasn't around. Since it was ladies night on Thursday, complimentary truffle fries and mini martinis were offered. One of the other servers gave the truffle fries to us and when our server Tammy came back she informed us the martinis were not complimentary the Ladies night promotion is applied only at the bar. This was after the drinks had already been served to us. She told us she'll apply a discount to correct it. Items ordered: Calamari-5/10(soft,chewy no flavor) Penne All'arrabbiata spicy marinara (this was in fact very spicy but I enjoyed it) Penne alla vodka with chicken 9/10 Truffle fries(fresh delicious) 10/10 The cake was so scrumptious I would definitely return back

I love the decor in here! The service was excellent. The staff is so friendly as well. Their portion of French fries is generous and tasty!

The ambiance is definitely everything and more. Great for large gatherings, a date, or family lunch! So yes it's kid friendly! The food was amazing, we specially enjoyed EVERYTHING. The meatballs are a must, just get them, thank me later We ordered to share the Cacio e Pepe and the Margharita Pizza to share. Hubby and I left wanting to try more. I'm giving it 4 stars because of the service. Even though it was quick at times, my hubbys drink was empty for a bit, before the manager noticed and brought him a refill.

Kinda love this place now! The food is good, I've now had multiple different dishes and it's filling and the setting is very pretty. My first time going I was sat at a table and I have to admit the service was actually quite slow. Long time to order, missing requested items completely, and just feeling ignored pretty much. It was during art basel, and maybe it was really full that night with events around the area and just busy overall, so I don't know if that's usual service conditions, so I won't judge too much based on that, except recommend maybe to skip this spot during art basel. Even though the service was subpar that day, I went back for their new special and had a great experience! I went for ladies night on thursday and was treated to free delicious truffle fries and $4 upcharge mini martinis. It's a late night happy hour from 7-9 I believe and is such a cool ambiance to spend a thursday night with friends! Sat at the bar which was full by the end of the night but service was on top of it. Two female bartenders tended to us and were fantastic with great energy and attitude. Loved the positivity, the great drinks, yummy snack, and the vibe overall. Totally changed my original experience to an overall good one!

Came here on a Saturday night and the restaurant was moderately busy. I'm not even sure they've had their grand opening yet but maybe more of a soft open. All the waiters were attentive and management came around multiple times to ensure food was great, which it was. We split a Caesar salad to start which was great. The included croutons were tasty. Our main dishes, the chicken Milanese and the Rigatoni Alla Bolognese were both fantastic. The Chicken was huge and def shareable. We had our choice of in or outside seating. Despite normally choosing inside, we chose to sit outside to people-watch. There were big fans above which made it a pleasant evening but there were some flies we had to shoo away which got annoying. Also, the mosquitos under the table were eating for sure! Overall though, great addition to the Worldcenter neighborhood and I'll be a regular diner here.

Elegant, spacious and inviting Restaurant with ample seating inside and outside. Expansive beautiful bar area with great Happy Hour offerings and prices every day! Nice plantings give it a tropical flair. Attentive staff! Some nice vegetarian, but didn't see many vegan options. Definitely recommend labeling the offerings so patrons can tell which meals are vegan and or vegetarian, as so many other finer establishments do.

This place is amazing!! Food can be shared as portions are massive. Pizza is delicious, truffle fries are yummy...highly recommend!

Such a nice setting and location. The restaurant is beautiful inside. We had a table of 14 and the restaurant provided a great space for us to enjoy together. Eggplant rollitini was good along with the calamari for appetizers. The truffle fettuccine with shrimp is good. The chicken parm is a very large serving. Next time I will definitely look forward to trying the short rib ravioli and the shrimp bow tie pasta. The pistachios "mousse" dessert and the key lime pie were really good.

Dean was a great server who travels from Another city just to work there. Great asset to any restaurant . Great personality

The food and drinks were amazing. Also, my bartender Natalia was fantastic! All the service was amazing

I thought Earls had the bar set pretty high, but Serafina took it even further. One of the best pastas I've ever had -- the farfalle limoncello was insane -- and the pistachio panna cotta? Brutal in the best way. What started as a quick lunch turned into a 3-hour dinner with a bottle of prosecco and zero desire to leave the table. The outdoor seating is a dream -- there's something about the vibe at Miami Worldcenter that just hits different.

The food is good, the service was ok, the place very pretty the atmosphere was nice, but extremely expensive!!!!!

the food was very yummy. Samet was very good. I'd go back if i wasn't drafted to go to venezuela. Will be writing letters to Samet. Cacio y Pepe was heaven. I'll see it soon.

Serafina was one of my favorite places in New York and I am SO happy to say that this location exceeded my expectations. I've ordered the Farfalle al Limoncello at almost all of the locations and this one was the best, hands down. 10/10. The sauce was a perfect consistency, the pasta was perfectly cooked, the acidity was perfectly balanced. Chefs kiss. Can't wait to try everything else :)

Bad service. Food is still nyc like but not the same. Service really needs to pickup.

everything was so good and happy hour was a great deal. service was a little slow towards the end of the night, but other than that rlly good and ambiance was great. dj at the front was super fun and played great music! definitely recommend
