Serafina Downtown Miami | Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

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. Some nice vegetarian, but didn’t see much 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.

Aury is an absolute star behind the bar! Super attentive, friendly, and always makes you feel welcome. The drinks were perfect, but what really stood out was her energy and the way she takes care of everyone with such ease. She truly made the night memorable. Highly recommend Aury if you want amazing service and a great vibe!

A stunningly beautiful place with completely clueless management. The food is absolutely tasteless, and the service is unbearably pushy — the waiters, seemingly high, don’t serve you so much as rush you out from the moment you arrive. To top it off, the staff apparently doesn’t know that on a birthday, the candle on the cake is supposed to be lit before it’s brought to the table, not after. Ridiculous.

This place is located just downstairs of the building where I live, so I had visited it for a couple times already. I can say, very average and definitely not for a special occasion. Beautiful interior, nice patio, but food is not so great.

A new Miami staple right here. I feel like they’re bringing the quality of service and amazing food I love from NYC top spots, but with their unique Miami flare. Good place for Happy Hour and date night

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.

Absolutely amazing experience! Alysa is hands down the best bartender I’ve ever met. She’s incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes everyone feel welcome the moment they sit down. Her energy and kindness completely elevate the entire atmosphere, Every drink she makes is perfect, but what makes her stand out is how much she truly cares about her guests. If you come here, make sure you sit at Alysa’s bar, she’ll make your night 10x better!

We were served by Alejandro A., who was polite but clearly lacked proper service technique and attention to detail. The restaurant’s decor follows the same interior design formula as many of the newer spots in Miami—stylish, but ultimately indistinguishable from the rest. The only standout feature was the bar, which I found visually appealing. Unfortunately, the lighting was among the worst aspects—far too dim to fully appreciate the food. We had the Truffle Fettuccine and Spaghetti Al Pacino. Both dishes were well executed, and we enjoyed a bottle of Torres Celeste Crianza from Ribera del Duero to accompany the meal. That said, I must point out a growing but problematic trend: the automatic inclusion of gratuity on the bill. Regardless of how common it's becoming, I believe it undermines the freedom of the guest to tip based on service. Including tax and tip, we paid $159—perhaps excessive for two pasta dishes and a bottle of wine.

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.

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
