Reserve a Table

We sat in the chef's table area. It was very nice and felt a lot quieter than the other rooms. We sat where we could watch the cooks do their thing. Our server Antonio was knowledgeable of the menu and very personable. We were served quickly and taken care of very well. Finally a proper Italian restaurant in Erie!

The first impression was 1000/10! The entire atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our server was excellent, and the food exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend the Tiramisu for dessert. Already can’t wait to go back!

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.

If I could give more than a 5-star rating, I would!! We were seated immediately. We went for my birthday and had the chef's table. Watching the staff at work was amazing they definitely showed teamwork and dedication to the food and job. The food was amazing; they made for a great birthday for sure. 💗
