Serafina Madison 38th

Beyond the classics, the kitchen turns out hearty plates like al dente pappardelle short rib and an enormous portion of chicken Parmesan. The venue covers the full day, serving from breakfast through dinner, and offers private event spaces for up to 150 guests. The experience is generally relaxed, though the service pace can be a bit of a wildcard, ranging from highly attentive to slow to flag down.
