SerafinaWaterfront Trattoria

Trattoria Italiana · Fort Lauderdale

A beautiful evening,
on the water.

Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and candlelight on the Middle River — where boats drift by at golden hour and every guest is welcomed like family.

Serafina's waterfront patio and docks on the Middle River at sunset

Benvenuti a Serafina

Step inside to candlelight, the aromas of true Mediterranean cooking, and the melodies of Andrea Bocelli. Our Italian-speaking team welcomes you like family — the kind of servers who remember your name and your last visit. Outside, the patio opens onto a gorgeous view of the Middle River. Come hungry, stay for the evening.

Buon Appetito!
