    I positively LOVE this place- came for the homemade Gnoccis with Gorgonzola Sauce and I was so disappointed that they were out! Our server was delightful and convinced me that the crab cakes were very popular & she was spot on- I’ve been here no less than 10 times in the 2 yrs since I’ve discovered this gem. It’s small, but packs a huge punch, from the bread to the dessert and all the delicious in between. . . I seek out these private owned places and this is by far my favorite go-to!

    Excellent Italian food! Presentation, taste, and value was exceptional! Selective menu with both classic and modern Italian cuisine. Be warned, they are BYOB, so make sure you bring your favorite wine. $5 corking fee, which is more than fair. A MUST on my list of Pittsburgh eateries. 6/5.

    The appetizers were very good, the Greens and Beans were delicious and a huge portion. The warm bread loaf and dipping sauce are great.The Scioligo was fantastic, best I've had in a long time. I prefer the red. It was a bit pricey for the dinner specials, but they are a large portion, and I would recommend and definitely go back. I've been back several times now and always consistently good. Veal Parm very good. The Gorgonzola cream sauce is delicious as well.

    Best Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh. Hands down. No further questions. Always ask what the special is. My wife's prawn and crab Rissotto was fire.

    One of my favorite local spots! The food never misses, and they always have daily specials. The service is great and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in an old school Italian restaurant. The gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce is my absolute favorite, I get it every time. Other favorites include the greens & beans, Della’s Spring Diavola, and the wedding soup! Very affordable and great quality.

    Extremely delicious dinner. We had chicken fettuccine, bolognese and pepperoni pizza. Don't forget to bring your own wine! Thank you for the great food and service

    Love this little Italian place in Crafton. Only thing was they were out of small pizzas. Had to get my 7 year old a 16" pie. She loved it though. Our server was the best. She did fantastic with my wild children.

    We really enjoy Sarafino’s. The food is wonderful, service is very good and the atmosphere is very homey and nice, the way Italian restaurants are supposed to be. Not like the big chains. They serve the best Beans and Greens in town. The Pasta Fagioli and Veal Parm where great. We can’t wait to go back.

    Now open for lunch. Daily specials. Pizza now one size only. 10” discontinued. Enjoyed made from scratch wedding soup. Had mushrooms and green peppers pizza. Generous cuts.all meals served with hot fresh bread and dipping sauce Friendly and helpful service. Place is small but so worth it. Definitely a hidden gem!

    Sarafino's - the best Italian restaurant in Crafton. Quaint family atmosphere. You must try the Gorgonzola sauce. It's the best. There's always a wait - but it's well worth it.

  • 5/5 Tami H. 7 months ago on Google
    If you have not been here, what are you waiting for? The food is delicious. Homemade good Italian food. The polenta is my favorite and then beans and greens you’ll never eat any as good and always be comparing them to other restaurants beans and greens! Servers are friendly. The place is small. Not fancy. They do have a few tables outside in the warm weather! Only negative thing I can say….They do not serve desert!

    Overall, very good. The portions are more than adequate (first time in years I couldn't finish my meal) and the atmosphere is charming. If you're in the area or you want to try someplace different, try Sarafino's. You won't be disappointed.

👍👍 When visiting new cities I have a rule of not eating at chains unless it's our only option. Was happy to stumble upon this cute little diner! There was a variety of options.
