Serafina

Serafina Miami, an Italian cuisine restaurant, is located within Aventura Mall, a shopping center known even globally. Although its outdoor setting overlooks a parking garage, it has a charming atmosphere and the interior is nicely decorated, fully reflecting the ambiance of an Italian restaurant.

My spouse and I went there for lunch. The restaurant’s menu is diverse and filled with various Italian dishes. However, since it was noon, we opted for lighter and quicker meals. I ordered Fettuccine Al Tartufo Nero pasta because I’m very fond of truffle mushrooms. My spouse chose the Shrimp ‘San Pietro’ Salad. Alongside, I ordered a red Chianti wine, and my spouse ordered a white wine, Savignon Blanc. We intended to have a light meal, but despite my truffle mushroom pasta being very tasty, it had a bit too much cream, making it somewhat heavy. I also tasted the shrimp salad my spouse ordered. The sauce of this salad, called Sweet House Sauce, was truly wonderful. The brandy and lobster broth they added to this sauce made it very delicious.

Our waiter’s name was Gerlan, who was both cheerful and well-versed in the entire menu. The service was quite fast.

I’d like to highlight a particular observation: In the tradition of wine service, a new bottle typically warrants fresh glasses. However, this restaurant went a step further. Even when we merely ordered our second glass of wine, not a new bottle, our attentive waiter presented us with new glasses. This practice, which I seldom encounter in many restaurants today, speaks volumes about their attention to detail. It’s a commendable aspect that I believe will be appreciated by all wine enthusiasts, especially those who, like myself, enjoy their wine with meals. This subtle yet significant gesture greatly enhances the dining experience.

After the meal, as we usually do, we both ordered a double espresso. Although I prefer other coffee brands to the one I drank here, the double espresso was quite generous, which is another important point for me.

Additionally, the availability of both valet parking service and a free parking garage right next door is, of course, a very nice feature.

In conclusion, I can say the following. Yes, this restaurant does not have a view, but it is important that it is located inside the significant and well-known Aventura Mall. More importantly, this restaurant offers the closest taste to original Italian cuisine, and yet at reasonable prices. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all Italian cuisine lovers.

Our waitress Melissa was amazing. She had an amazing personality and was really welcoming. The food was really delicious and fresh. I recommend the Eggplant rollatini and calamari for appetizers. For the mains I recommend the Fettucini di cortina al pollo and the prosciutto pizza. For dessert the vanilla gelato was amazing as well as the snickerdoodle cheesecake. 10/10 would recommend!

The restaurant is well located in the 2nd floor by the 🍎 store. Service was good, could have been better. Wife ordered Truffle 🍄 risotto which was EXCELLENT! Daughter and myself had the Fettuccine AL Tartufo Neeo which was really good. Super high quality ingredients and I was able to order mine with gluten free pasta. This is a hign end restaurant, but definitely Wirth ut.

I had a few nights here on my spring break trip and by far Matias C was the best to me! I spilled my first full glass of red wine all over myself and the table and he had at all cleared up before you knew it happened! Thank you so much Matias! Next time I come down, I will get a stemless glass please!! 🙋‍♀🤦‍♀

Have eaten here a few times & it has never disappointed. The pizza is especially good.

On our last visit, the service was exceptionally well as we had told our server that we were in a rush, because our baby had a bedtime- he brought our food out in less than 15 minutes and it tasted amazing We really enjoyed our time and look forward to going back again soon

Tucked away in Aventura Mall, near the Tesla showroom, lies a delightful Italian oasis known as Serafina. This gem offers a serene alternative to the bustling food courts, providing a peaceful dining experience that is both pet-friendly and exceptional in service.

Upon our visit, we were warmly welcomed to the terrace, a cozy spot where our two dogs were also happily accommodated. The ambience of Serafina instantly set a relaxed tone for our meal, enhanced by the attentive and knowledgeable staff who expertly guided us through the menu.

Heeding their recommendations, we ordered the Pasta Cacio e Pepe and the Parmesan Chicken. Both dishes proved to be culinary delights, packed with authentic Italian flavors that transported us to the heart of Italy with each bite. The portions were generous, allowing us to share and savor a taste of each other's choices.

Serafina stands out not only for its quality cuisine but also for its commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all guests, including our four-legged companions. Whether you're seeking a quiet spot to dine or a pet-friendly venue with exceptional food and service, Serafina Miami at Aventura Mall is a destination worth exploring.

I have been to this one several times. The first time I went I would have rated this place a 2. The burger wasn't that great and the server actually ripped me off. He overcharged me for the burger that I ordered. I did not complain I just paid and walked away. The last time I was there was because I was helping out for an event. The staff was great and everyone was very friendly and kept their composure even when things were not going as planned. It was delicious and the people attending the event were very pleased as well. If it wasn't for the last time I visited this venue it would have been a completely negative review. It goes to show how service is so important at an establishment in addition to the food. I'm very happy I gave them another chance.

Our server was absolutely fantastic, she was incredibly nice and attentive. The food was great too! I tried calamari for the first time here, and it actually tasted good. Probably cause it was fried lol, but the dipping sauces with it were outstanding as well. There are lots of choices for Italian food in Aventura and if definitely recommend coming here!

The passion for food, the high quality of products, the always perfect and welcoming service make Serafina the favorite restaurant to always spend happy moments, Serafina never disappoints!

we had moses as our waiter and he was amazing!! we had a party of 10 and still the food came out really quick. everything was perfect!!! definitely worth every penny. will be coming back next time i visit hollywood:)

Absolutely wonderful. The food was just incredible and the service was pretty good too. The place is nice but, really, I don't care about the decoration, the food is the reason to keep coming back. Want to eat something extraordinary? Try the truffle ravioli. Completely divine. Also ordered lobster ravioli which were great but nothing compared to the truffle ones.

All I can say is: so delicious! We have a Serafina in New York but have never had the chance to try it out. However, Serafina in Miami really hit the spot. It’s such a fabulous spot and I didn’t even realize how close it is to where we live here in Miami. I’m a big fan of truffle so the variety of truffle dishes to choose from was excellent. It was pretty hot and we weren’t super hungry so we ordered: the bruschetta, the Fettuccine Al Tartufo Nero, Tartufo Nero pizza, the tiramisu, and the cheesecake. We loved it all. The truffle dishes here are so creamy and delicious. The taste just melts in your mouth! The service was spectacular as well. Our server’s name was Sebastian- very pleasant man and quick on his feet too. He gave great recommendations for dishes and called our lunch a “truffle day” (lol). We will definitely be back!

The food was so delicious. The service was great.

The best part was that I had lost my phone and the manager was so smart to take my friend’s phone number. We called a few times to check in and they had not found it Then about an hour later she called and told me that it had been found. the woman that handed it in Was eating outside and she had introduced me to her. I am so grateful to the woman who returned the phone, but even more so to the manager who was so smart to think about asking for an alternate phone number. It made my day and I will always recommend this restaurant .

All I can say is amazing. The food, the service, the atmosphere.

One of my favorite go to places. The food is always consistent and delicious. Service was very nice. From the moment you arrive you feel so welcomed and at home. Whether you dine inside or outside the atmosphere is always delightful. Don’t forget their happy hour. I highly recommend Serafina!

Excellent food and service. Very good pandemia handling, temperature measure, table separation, waiters wearing mask and gloves. Expensive😬
Update 5/21: This restaurant is really good. You wont find homemade pasta as good anywhere in the area.
Update 8/20/21: food awesome. Please fix the table.🙄
Update 9/16/21: overcooked fried calamari, more like rubber. Usually are very good, not this time😐
