History

The business is owned by spouses Alex and Julie Bond. It operates in the space that previously housed the Italian restaurant Delphina's Pasta and Pizza. Tony Meyers has been the chef. Kurt Fritzler was a bartender for at least 25 years.
Serratto launched a new prix fixe menu in 2013. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the business utilized outdoor seating and retained most staff.

Reception

David Sarasohn of The Oregonian gave the restaurant a 'B' rating in 2011. Eater Portland included the business in a 2017 overview of recommended restaurants in the Northwest District. The website said of Serratto in a 2024 list of eighteen "underrated" restaurants and "hidden gems" in the city: "Just a few years ago, Serratto was perhaps more appropriately rated; however, this longstanding... restaurant has fallen off the radar of many. Nonetheless, Serratto has remained in the rotation of Nob Hill locals and is as good as ever." The website's Rebecca Roland and Brooke Jackson-Glidden also recommended the restaurant for private dining rooms in 2024.
