Serafina San Juan Restaurant

Beautiful location near the beach. Indoor and outdoor dinning is aesthetically pleasing. My party and I were a group of four who only ordered one main dish and appetizers.The waiter was lovely but we had to get someone else to help us several times before she reappeared. We got the meatballs and the center was cold. We had to call over the hostess due to our waiter not being available. Thankfully they redid the order and it was nice and hot.The drinks were great so much so that we had to order another round. I’m sorry I couldn’t remember the name, it did have coconut rum in it if that helps. When in PR I will definitely go again.

I’ve seen the Serafina chain around NYC before and was craving Italian cuisine so I decided to give it a try here in Puerto Rico. First thought the ambience was hip and trendy with graffiti like murals on the walls. Since it was a hot and humid summer night, I decided to sit inside to beat the heat, but unfortunately I could barely feel the AC. For my meal, I ordered the meatball appetizers and the chicken linguine. The portions were pretty generous and I feel like I could have easily shared my pasta, considering we had appetizers as well. The meatballs were pretty standard. It didn’t have as much flavor as I’d hope in the meet itself, so I found myself constantly re-dipping it in the marinara sauce. The chicken linguine, although large in portions, lacked depth in flavor. It was overwhelmingly creamy. I found myself adding a couple rounds of cracked black pepper to try to give it some complexity. This is when I realized that this is the quality/standard I get for dining at an Italian chain restaurant. The service was great and I had no complaints. I’m a thirsty girl and drink a lot of water. Thankfully my waiter was attentive and kept refilling my glass. Overall, my experience at Serafina was OK. I feel like there are definitely better Italian restaurants at this price point. But if you go into it looking for value, then maybe it’s not too bad.

Food was delicious. It was lovely to sit outside. Super comfortable and far enough away from the sidewalk that you didn't feel like people were standing or walking by you too closely server. Server was delightful. Very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

First, been there in the past for a business related gathering so I really wasn’t paying attention. This time it was a family group of ten and we arrived at 4pm on a Monday (Aug 22nd). We were greeted by Rodney who also stayed on as our server. Very pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and no problems with the requests made by our group. We dined inside (AC) and the restaurant was not very busy at the time. Good dining experience, everyone enjoyed the menu items and we found the prices reasonable for being in the this popular tourist zone. Yes, will make back in the future.

Fantastic location and atmosphere. Our waitress was amazing. The food was delicious. We had a party of 5 and everyone left happy and with full stomachs! Great portion sizes!
