< 15 min
- Dinner

Serafina offers guests the chance to discover and enjoy the beauty and versatility of Italian cuisine in a cozy and intimate outdoor setting. Their carefully crafted menu is born out of their passion for quality ingredients. Aged Parmigiano Reggiano from the Northern Parma region, fresh young Burrata from Puglia and fresh truffles from Umbria are all sources of inspiration for their chef. You would think that because of the good Italian food there would be Italian staff, however, many locals work here and an Italian chef flies in every six months to give a master class. The beautiful garden and lights hanging in there create a romantic atmosphere at the restaurant.
our favs
We recommend the bruschetta pomodoro, fettuccine gamberi burrata e lime and for dessert we can recommend the vulcano di cioccolato. Don’t forget to drink a delicious wine or a limoncello.
