Review content:
OK, so it's more "Italian-inspired" than truly Italian, but rustic European definitely applies. Serafina has been an Eastlake institution since long before I moved to the neighborhood several years ago, but it continues to be a consistently good experience overall.
The menu is inventive and interesting while including the typical staples, although unless you happen to be fluent in Italian, you might need some explanation from the very attentive staff on some of the more creative dishes, especially the daily/weekly specials.
Atmosphere is friendly, very romantic, and yet still somewhat casual, although on Friday/Saturday when the live music gets going, don't plan on hearing anything from your date unless you're a lip reader. In other words, it's cozy in there and the sound fills the space. In good weather though, the outdoor patio is a nice touch if you can wait long enough for the table or manage to get the right reservation. Music is just the right level out there.
The bar area is off to one side, and fine to hang out in while waiting, but it can get VERY crowded in there. Be comfortable rubbing elbows.
Last, but not least, the wine selection has been somewhat sparse in the past, but they seem to do a decent job in the "staff selection" area and have one in varying price ranges. The list does lean to the more expensive end though. The owner lives just a few blocks away in Eastlake and her garden supplies the restaurant, so she's obsessed with quality and her guests' overall experience.
