Las Olas is Fort Lauderdale’s premier dining and shopping destination. The Boulevard is home to more than three dozen bistros, restaurants, and clubs, many with indoor and outdoor dining options. It’s truly a food lover’s paradise, especially for those that adore authentic Italian cuisine. Just a short drive away is the best gourmet restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Serafina Italian Restaurant.
This cozy and friendly fine dining establishment is located directly on the water, providing guests with spectacular views of the Middle River. You’ll find many local attractions nearby, such as Fort Lauderdale Beach, the Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Federal Hwy, the A1A, Galleria Mall, and of course Las Olas Boulevard. It’s the perfect place to stop for lunch or dinner, or even brunch on Saturday or Sunday.
Serafina is known for its incredible meals, friendly staff, and an authentic Italian chef in the kitchen. Enjoy a beautiful evening at a romantic, candlelit table overlooking the water. Or if you’re only interested in a drink and a small bite to eat, visit Serafina Monday through Friday for Happy Hour. Happy Hour at the bar means discounted wine, specialty cocktails, and select appetizers.
At Serafina, you’ll find a wide assortment of offerings on their lunch and dinner menus. Appetizers include dishes like Cervellata, Burrata Per Due, Mozzarella in Carozza, and Calamari Fritti. Next, enjoy a soup or salad, like the Della Casa or Cesare. As you would expect, Serafina offers delicious pasta options, like Linguini Alle Vongole and Lasagne Tradizionale. Finally, finish your meal with a tasty entrée. Some favorites include the Salmon Al Limone, Snapper Francese, and Mahi-Mahi Adriatico.
On the wine menu, Serafina offers a variety of red and white wines, beer, and signature cocktails. The Serafina Lemon Drop Martini is a classic choice but you should also try the Italian Gentleman, Espresso Martini, and the Classic Old Fashioned. Ask your server which alcohol offerings pair best with your meal.
If you plan on stopping into Serafina, you’ll be delighted to find both indoor and outdoor waterfront dining, including dock dining. Of course, Intracoastal dining isn’t the only thing you can enjoy while dining at Serafina. The establishment is also open to special events. Invite up to 35 guests to share the private dining room for a birthday party, anniversary, or any other special occasion that may arise.
