- JJosieGreater Boston •1 review4.0Dined on Oct 27, 2026Food was great, just a little tight depending on where you’re seated. We got the truffle Arancini to share, so delicious! Im not usually a huge arancini fan, but this made me change my mind:) I got the Milanese for my entree, it was nice and crispy. I also enjoyed the arugula salad on top, it was perfectly dressed. I will say, I love sitting on the patio during the summer!! Best spot on Newbury in my personal opinion!!More infoSerafina - Boston Back Bay$$$$• Italian• Back Bay•4.5
