   We arrived for our reservation on time and the only thing that kept us from being seated right away was a high maintanece couple with a lot of demands The hostess and the entire staff did their best to accommodate this couple keeping things calm and respectful. I saw no reason for this couple to be acting the way that they did. They actually should have left the restaurant if they were unhappy. Everything about Serafina’s was perfect! It was my first visit and the food and the portions were absolutely amazing. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was to die for - I would definitely go back and I would highly recommend. A big shout out to the very professional staff!

   Great little find and hidden gem on the water in Fort Lauderdale, behind the Gateway Shopping Centre. Traditional Italian with large patio area and a few tables inside. Highly recommended for the food and location, and great service.

   Service was horrible. Received the entree before the appetizers that they forgot about. Served the other tables around us without issues but we were forgotten about the many times the server walked past us. I came to celebrate my fiancés birthday as well as Veterans Day because she is serving currently and it was an awful experience. The other customers food and service looked good I’m not sure what the issue was. We weren’t ordering drinks(alcohol) so I’m assuming that’s why the service was bad. It took 50 minutes from sitting down to get the entree and then when we asked about the appetizer they took the entree back and after waiting 10-12 minutes after that we got up to go to another restaurant. Also one of the cooks was smoking pot directly in front of the restaurant as we were walking out. He quickly put it out and went back into the kitchen entrance as we were walking out. Very unfortunate experience for us. Go at your own risk. I wish we were able to try to food because the plates coming out to the tables around looked good

   The experience was just ok! There is absolutely no ambiance when you have to sit inside and very crowded and noisy when you are able to sit outside on the very small body of water. The food was good, not great. We were disappointed. 6 people and bill was expensive considering four of us had pasta. There are better choices for ambiance and sorry to say food as well.

   The food was excellent and our server was attentive and had a good sense of humor. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the water on a beautiful evening. Overall I would give the entire experience a 10.
