Serafina Osteria & Enoteca

EASTLAKE. Comfortable and unpretentious, Serafina has been a Seattle favorite for years. Its cuisine draws on rustic traditions of the Italian countryside and is eminently satisfying. Representative dishes include buckwheat pasta, slow-cooked lamb shanks, braised rabbit, homemade veal meatballs, pumpkin-leek ravioli, and a ragu of duck, veal, and pork. You'll also find steamed mussels, rich sausages, and wild-mushroom risotto. Dessert options include a luscious chocolate-hazelnut torte, sweet profiteroles, and a homey rhubarb crisp.
