Serafina

"Capacity: 40 (45 standing) Eating pasta on a patio is always a fantastic party idea. You can do that at Serafina, an upscale Italian spot in Eastlake. The whole space will seat 40 people but can also work for a standing-room situation if you have 45." - aimee rizzo

"Eastlake’s Pomodoro is an intimate Italian restaurant, with skillfully crafted pasta plates (pork belly linguini alla carbonara) and several excellent gluten free and veggie options. It’s also fortunate enough to have a garage located in its building, with free parking and an ample amount of spaces." - Gabe Guarente

"Eastlake’s venerable Italian restaurant features three-course brunch meals for takeout, including pastries, brioche French toast with honey bourbon bacon, spaghetti carbonara with morels and duck egg, and lemon panna cotta. There are also mimosa, bellini, bloody mary, and spritz kits." - Gabe Guarente

"Eastlake’s venerable Italian restaurant, Serafina, is reopening for takeout and delivery within five miles, offering a mix of items from both Serafina and its sibling Cicchetti, including multi-course pasta meals, wine, beer, and pantry items like chocolate chip cookie dough, dry pasta, and sauces. Cocktail kits will be available soon. This is the first time in its nearly 30-year-old history that Serafina has offered delivery service." - Gabe Guarente

"Eastlake’s enduring Italian restaurant, Serafina, and its sibling Venetian-style bar, Cicchetti, have long been cornerstones of the Seattle restaurant scene. Both have lovely courtyards for warm-weather dining and excellent service, with many staff boasting multi-year tenures here. Whether you come for a rose and Italian-inspired tapas on the patio of Cicchetti or a multi-course meal of handmade pasta at Serafina, there’s no wrong way to dine here." - Megan Hill
