First date night and the food was perfection. Nice to be there on a Tuesday evening as it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Service was just ok, but the kitchen is to be commended. Started with charcuterie, and then I had the short rib pappardelle and my date had the Bolognese....both were cooked perfectly, plated nicely and served hot. Was truly a great meal!

Overall great experience. The restaurant is split into sections making it a little easier to sit in a section more suitable to your liking. The decor is INCREDIBLE. From the lounge area encased in tree limbs to the bar area with live music to the quieter area towards the back - every inch of this restaurant is beautiful. The staff was a bit late in getting our 1st order of drinks and the bread basket came out after the apps but once they got that in order, the rest of the night was fantastic. Our waitress Dana could not be more patient, informative and helpful. Every server that brought the food knew exactly what each dish was, what was in it, and where it went. The manager/Maitre D came over and made sure that EVERYTHING was to our liking. DEFINITELY WILL RETURN.

Food was sub-par. Service was slow and unprofessional. They also never sent us our Christmas photos and are not picking up the phone. Expensive and disappointing

This is a terrible restaurant me and my family went to the brunch with Santa event that they were hosting the food. Honestly wasn’t that great but the most important part above all was that they never sent us our promised pictures that we were supposed to get when we took pictures with Santa Claus, which was the whole reason that we went to the event in the first place and we never got our pictures they aren’t answering our calls or answering to the fact that they didn’t send what they promised in the first place such a terrible experience because I like to have my Christmas photos yearly and this was the first year that I couldn’t receive them all due to this place.

Went here last night with 2 other couples. The food was delicious & our server Ricky was one of the best we’ve had anywhere! For one of our appetizers we ordered the table side handcrafted mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes. It was amazing! I highly recommend it to anywho enjoys caprese. I had their seafood risotto which was excellent & my husband ordered their tagliatelle bolognese that he said was outstanding. We finished off the dinner by sharing a tiramisu and a plate of zeppoles with a lemon curd. Both were fabulous. We will definitely be back!

Priscilla was our server for our first visit to this restaurant. She was absolutely amazing with a professional attitude found at only fine dining establishments. Now to the food… 5 star quality. The dishes that came out of the kitchen tasted home made like a Grandma was back there all day cooking. A very satisfying experience worthy of many more visits!

It was our first visit as we were celebrating a family members college graduation. Fabulous food and great service.
We had an excellent dinner at Serena Pastificio. The drinks were delicious ( try the Italian margarita!), and the food was excellent. All the pasta is made in house and you can tell. The short rib pasta was top notch. I'd say the only disappointment was when we split a Caesar salad and they gave the full salad to one of us for us to split on our own. And then left a pepper mill on the table for us to use ourselves. At this level, that was unusual. Also, it's an Italian restaurant with live music but the music was Spanish. Just seemed incongruous. All in all, it was good food in a great space.
Our dinner and service were magnprayers! We started out with the made at tge table, mozzarella and it was outstanding. Ricky did a superior job of explaining exactly what he was doing.And where the ingredients came from. The bread we had was warm and soft and the olive oil was tasty with it. We had linguine with white clam sauce and short rib pasta. Both wear amazing and the pasta is made fresh and sauce is made fresh every day. I highly recommend this for your next dining experience.

The buffet was terrific. So tasty and good. Only issue was being understaffed and not managing reservations right. We reserved (as did others) inside but you did not have any tables available. We love football so we stayed at the bar. Fine but let's be honest, you could accommodate our reservation. One bartender had a bad attitude but the gentlemen with exceptional manners was fantastic and sure made a good drink. Tweak it for next year. Be on top of refills before they are all gone and people are waiting. $70 is a lot not to have access to all the choices available.
We enjoyed ourselves very much. The server Anthony was on everything for us, always had freshwater always came around always took dirty dishes. He kept our table clean because it was a buffet so he didn't have to really serve us, but he was always there. We enjoyed ourselves. it was a nice Thanksgiving buffet. The food was very good. They did run out of oysters not that I eat them but my family wanted them other than that. Everything was great.
I never write bad reviews, but this one was an exception. Saw really good reviews online so the expectations were high, but the experience fell very short of that. Only good thing about this restaurant was the food. Everything else, from the service, to the staff, to the ambience and how we were treated was awful. I unfortunately will not recommend this restaurant to anyone and I will not be back.
