Serafinis Trattoria - Erie (PA)

5 /5 Sabrina Hadfield: we reserved seats at the bar for a friday night and were seated right away. excellent service from the bartender ( i think her name was Beth?) she was knowledgeable and helpful. our specialty cocktails were good and the Arancini was delicious, along with the fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti…and we found the Caesar salad to be a stand out. of note, i do not eat meat there was really only one appetizer, one salad and one entree that were safe, and there no vegetables available to add to the pasta instead of meat proteins. i still rated five stars because everything that I did have was delicious, and The service was great.

5 /5 Brandy McCauley-Camp: We had a lovely time at Serafini’s tonight for dinner. The food was delicious and our waiter Antonio was very attentive to all our needs. I highly recommend taking your special someone here for a romantic date! We will be coming back again.

5 /5 Tori Spellman: OMG!!! We celebrated my 20th birthday on Saturday evening at Serafinis. We were a party of 14 with reservations. We were sat almost immediately and the way it was set up near the bar made us feel like the only party in the restaurant. Mel was our server and she was truly wonderful!!! We are a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds, who usually get pre judged wherever we go. Not at Serafinis! Every employee we came in contact with also wished me a happy birthday. Within 10 minutes we all had a drink and bread baskets with a dipping oil. Mel was very present without being pushy. The food was incredible. Several of us ordered the Lasagna and 4 others ordered the Alfredo, and each and every dish was served hot and the flavor was just amazing. The atmosphere was also incredible. My friends brought my favorite cake and Mel brought it to the table full of candles!!!! Even though this cake wasnt purchased at Serafinis, Mel took it into the kitchen, cut and plated the cake and served it to our table. I do not understand the less than favorable reviews that have been posted recently. We had such a positive experience from start to finish. Our food and service was above and beyond. Thank you for making my 20th birthday celebration one for the books.

3 /5 Alicia Young: Great atmosphere and our waitress and staff were very nice and friendly. I ordered the rigatoni with meat sauce and the rigatoni was undercooked. It was better the next day reheated at least. I wasnt a fan of having to swat away fruit flies while I was trying to eat as well as having to walk through the kitchen where they were preparing food to get to the bathrooms. Also the fact the bathrooms were right there off the kitchen was weird to me.

5 /5 BRIDGET FOUST: Amanda Serafini Hughes Serafinis did not disappoint. I went Saturday night. The sauce is fabulous. The international bakery bread is warm and tastes like it just came out of the oven. I do like a little more "olivey" dipping sauce with fresh herbs but dont let that deter you. Huge wine selection including local winery favorites. I got a glass of "diamond". ( I could care less when they say what wine goes with what.) The homemade everything was a treat for their grand opening. Other than my table being switched from the reservation location, noone would have guessed they just opened. Noone! The service was great! I loved my wedding soup (tastes like mine; Im very picky on soup. Its heavy on flavor.) Amanda was serving plates and checking on guests. She made the atmosphere even more warm and inviting. Its lovely inside. She encouraged me to take a walk around and it definitely made me want to come back. I hope you love it too. It really is on track to be everything we all hoped it would be. Ps...my lasagna was definitely enough to bring home. Oh and the "Italian sushi" was a fun take on sushi and my son enjoyed those leftovers with the other 2/3 of my lasagna. Pics dont do it justice. Reserve your seat! You wont regret it.
