Serena Restaurant and Bar

Excellent local Italian with a great bar and very attentive staff.

The food was tasty, but the service was poor and the music was too loud.

Tasty Italian tapas the meatballs, the arancina, and the sausage were all very good. Voir le carte

service was slowest I've seen in a while, music much too loud, preventing any kind of conversation forcing the waitstaff to raise their voices to be heard. the worst part was the food, I was sick to my stomach after eating the spedie! happened to this place?

Lovely. Had a mid afternoon lunch. Place clearly popular as it was just clearing out the lunch group. When we arrived at the place was still pretty packed. Excellent octopus- we had the grilled and the fried. Salads wonderful. Impressive beer list for this type of place. Really enjoyed. Would come back.

The wine was chilled but it shouldn't have been. It left a strange aftertaste as well, like it had been left open for a few days. The food was fine but nothing you could not get at a cheaper, nicer restaurant. It was also extremely loud and made conversation nearly impossible. The server was very nice and prompt, I have no complaints with our waitress. Voir le carte

Overall good experience. Went there for an early dinner so not crowded at all. The music level inside is way too loud. Outside seating is nice but still a bit loud with the music. I was disappointed that they did not have the prosecco or the red Italian wine I wanted. Though they did have a fine alternative. Overall nice place to chill The food was plentiful and good- The olive dish as a appie was huge and the chicken parm with pasta was good.

This place has an inviting outdoor dining area, and the weather was nice the night we visited. The white anchovy crostini were actually quite tasty, and the olive appetizer was generous. Wish we had stopped there. The house special sparkling wine cocktail was odd. Steak and lasagna nothing to write home about, for sure. The waiter was not attentive, and didn't seem into his job providing service. Was much more concerned about stacking all the chairs and taking the seat cushions inside, so that they could close the doors. And we arrived for dinner around not that there was much of a crowd even at that early hour on a Friday evening.

A note, I have dined here times in the past year and have had pleasant experiences, particularly with the food. This evening did not live up to previous experiences. The hostess, without a smile or pleasant greeting, was not aware of our reservation for later (we arrived early) and looked at us like we were confused (myself and two colleagues). She said she could seat us anyway and we were seated next to the door on a cold and rainy evening. There were other tables available so we are not sure why we had to have the coldest table in the restaurant. It was a dark table with a single color changing light above, not romantic, not practical. We were given wine, dinner and specials menus; special... Voir le carte
