    Our regular Italian spot in Back Bay - every pasta dish we tried there is delicious and we’ve been to a bunch for Italian. The Spaghetti Allo Scoglio is to die for - mussels are cooked to perfection where it just melts into mouth l, and the best part is the sauce - mix of fresh tomato, garlic, and butter without any fishiness from seafood. It keeps us coming back all the time just for this dish! Added bonus are the nicely curated mocktails and Italian sodas making this spot stand out from other places around

    We went for brunch and the menu is limited, but the food was good and the staff was great! The ambiance wasn’t quite what I had in mind for a birthday brunch, but the staff was more than accommodating and the birthday boy did get a delicious tiramisu with a candle !

    Made a reservation for a birthday celebration and had a great experience. Riccardo was our server and shared perfect drink and appetizer recommendations. For dinner, I had the house made gnocchi di mamma and it was so delicious. I have now been to the Seaport and Back Bay Serafina locations and both are great. I can now say I prefer the Back Bay spot for a cozier meal. Highly recommend!
