We hadn’t been to Serafina in about 15 years. It’s even better than before. Alessandra was delightful and her recommendations were perfection. Especially the Super Tuscan!! She had me at cacio e pepe with SHAVED BLACK TRUFFLES! The short rib ravioli in creamy mushroom sauce!! The largest serving of Tiramisu I’ve ever been served at a restaurant. There were too many excellent choices - so it will NOT be another 15 years before we return. The location on the water looking at yachts and sailboats is divine!
