Very nice meal here. Nice outdoor seating. Parking can be tricky. Would visit again. Everything was presented nicely. Like anywhere on the island ask for check when u receive ur last item to eat.

My wife and I had an excellent meal at Serafina last night. The eggplant parmigiana was as advertised by other guests- super delicious. We both had pasta dishes - perfectly cooked and awesomely tasty. And the volcano dessert was decadent. We would have liked some...bread on the side, but decided not to order it after all. We would absolutely return to this restaurant if we find our way back to Curacao!!More

First time here and will not be our last. Diego was very attentive, warm & friendly. He assisted us with picking a great bottle of white wine and then proceeded to help us with the menu. The eggplant appetizer was delicious, as was my spaghetti...& seafood. My husband’s filet steak was cooked to perfection & Diego suggested a glass of fine red wine. The espresso martini topped off our meal. Thank you to Diego and the staff for a wonderful experience!More

Great food, friendly staff and was easy to get to from the Avila hotel. The fettuccine with shrimp was excellent. It is a quaint dining experience and highly recommended for anyone staying in Willemstad.

My wife and I ate here 2 times during our vacation. The food and service were top notch. Serafina may have been our very favorite dining experience in the Pietermaai district. The red snapper dish was excellent, as well as the eggplant appetizer.

We came here on the recommendation of friends. We had a table on the lovely patio, and the food was delicious but the service was good, not great. Our server changed halfway through our meal, and the second server was a big improvement so it...ended well! Given how delicious the food was and the fact that the people around us didn't seem to be having the same issues with their servers, we would definitely recommend.More

Cute courtyard to eat in. The staff started out friendly and attentive but once it got busy it felt they were understaffed. The didn’t mention they had pizzas that night which bummed me out as I would have tried one. We enjoyed the focaccia they...give to you. The truffle pasta starter was tasty but had a ton of cheese in it and I like cheese but it was a lot taking the flavor from the truffle. The second pasta dish I tried had no flavor or cheese with was disappointing. They had a great bottle of wine we enjoyed.More

The best meal we had in 3 weeks while in Curacao! We actually ate there twice because it was so good. Tried 3 different pastas and enjoyed all of them. Loved the atmosphere, music and friendly staff. It’s a very popular restaurant so plan ahead...and get a reservation.More

Serafina is in a lively neighborhood, and it has great energy and vibes. It is definitely a « see and be seen » type of place. People are very chic and attractive. However, the food doesn’t live up to the hype, and the service was extremely slow...at first. As a solo diner, I think they just forgot I was there, so it was 20 minutes before someone brought water or took my drink order. I was about to leave, but the service was fine after that and the server was very pleasant. The pasta with beef sauce was overcooked and had an oddly sweet flavor. The tiramisu was strange-tasting as well, I only took one bite, and they comped it without my even asking (which was nice). The arugula salad was fresh and delicious. Overall, I would go for the scene and have a salad and glass of wine!More

Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. My daughter and I just ate here tonight , we opted to eat inside rather then on their beautiful patio because we needed a break from the heat after walking around for a few hours. The food came out...quick and was delicious. We had penne ala vodka, chicken parmigiana, and barreta pomodora . All of it was excellent. The service was excellent as well. Highly recommend this restaurantMore

The flagship of Italian cuisine has finally run out of steam and capsized. The old chef left and took along his secret recipe for Cacio y Pepe perfection. The menu remains small but uninspired-overpriced average pasta at best. Appetizers fall flat-get your steak tartare at...Zest and seafood at Fish n Joy .Your tastebuds will thank you. If you want both fish and meat that are superb…go to Kome. Friendly advice-do not order specials at Serafina without triple checking the price. And the service not commendable. It’s a no.More

We ate dinner here twice because the food was so good, and the service was great. We had the Burrata Cheese for an appetizer and the evening special for dinner. We also had the Calamari and it was over cooked and over breaded, but everything...else was great.More

We try not to simply stay in our hotel but to try bars and restaurants in the vicinity - Serafina is quite a find - superb! Food and service of seriously excellent quality. We were lucky that we ate here early in our stay so...that we were able to come back again for our final evening. Brilliant evening.More

We were in the pool at out hotel when we struck up a conversation with another hotel guest We started talking about restaurants on Curaçao. He said his family loves to go to Serafina every time they visit Curacao. We decided to try it out...for ourselves. It was an excellent choice for our last dinner in Curacao. My family and I throughly enjoyed our time at Serafina. We ate outside on a candle lit patio. They had two big fans with misters blowing to keep everyone cool. We started off with beef tartar, carpaccio, and calamari. All were delicious. but I really loved the calamari. We had cocktails with our appetizers that were also very nice.For dinner my husband had Penne a la Vodka. My son had Chicken Parmesan, my daughter and her husband both had Cacio e Pepe, which they both throughly enjoyed and I had the sliced tenderloin. We also enjoyed with a beautiful bottle of wine with our dinner. All the food was phenomenal. Then of course we couldn’t turn down dessert. I had the lemon tart, my daughter had the chocolate lava cake. My son had vanilla ice cream. My husband had the most delicious lemon panna cotta. Oh my, it was spectacular! The wait staff was very nice and took excellent care of us. All of us had an amazing dinner and would look forward to going there again. It is a definite must do for dinner in downtown Willemstad, Curacao.More
