Our Story
Where heritage meets the horizon
A legacy brought to life
Situated along the serene waterfront of Fort Lauderdale, Serafina Waterfront Trattoria is more than a dining destination; it's a legacy brought to life. Rooted in a rich tapestry of family tradition, our restaurant is an ode to culinary passion that has thrived for three generations.
Originating from the picturesque landscapes of Northern Italy, our family's gastronomic journey began with the flavors of our homeland, resonating with every dish that graced tables in New York for several decades. Today, in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, we bring you those cherished flavors blended with the vibrant energy of this coastal city.
As the waves gently lap against the seawall, allow the culinary masterpieces curated by our chef — a maestro from Northern Italy — to transport you on a transcendent gastronomic journey. From our family to yours, buon appetito!

“Romantic, delicious place to visit. Not a loud place, you can actually have a conversation which I love.”
