With a sophisticated yet approachable nod to Italy’s recipes and unforgettable hospitality, all in a chic and vibrant space, Serena Pastificio offers a refined dining experience rooted in tradition. At the core of our craft— and our restaurant— is our pastificio, a visible pasta station, where our chefs showcase the artistry, precision and passion that goes into every dish. And that same care and attention can be found in our seasonal wine and cocktail list featuring drinks that are as delicious on their own, as they are paired with your favorite Italian dish.

1. We ordered an appetizer that was run to the wrong table. The table next to us was a little confused but still accepted it thinking it was part of their entree. Rather than fixing the issue quickly, the waitress noticed this after we had finished our other appetizer and as our entrees were supposedly almost ready (we waited a good 10-15min more after). All that was said was “I’m sorry do you still want it?”
2. When I received my carbonara it was cold and already congealed into a brick of cheese. My partner had to hunt down the waiter and we ended up waiting another 15 minutes for them to return what looked like even more congealed reheated pasta. For reference, I was able to flip the whole chunk of pasta by entirely over in one piece without it losing its shape. Also, the waiter that returned my fixed pasta was oddly rude about it.
3. When I finally left after being disappointed, ends up the restaurant didn’t properly validate my parking and I ended up having to pay $27 just to leave. I had to call Colony Square parking the next day but it’s still pending and not a good topping on the cake especially after spending $300 and the aforementioned instances.
In conclusion, I’d rather have spent the special occasion and money anywhere else because I’d at least have something left.
Great = The atmosphere, decorations, restaurant staff. It’s a beautifully decorated space – great interior decoration, extremely clean and well decorated bathrooms, and the staff we encountered were all extremely welcoming and friendly.
The good/average = The food. The food good but not great – nothing special. The food looks good (photos included) and our friend enjoyed hers more than my wife and I. We both agreed – all in all – average.
The not so good = the nickel-and-dime approach. We went for lunch, most restaurants give you bread, after 15 minutes or so – no bread, so I asked. Was told for dinner bread is included, but for lunch – table bread is $3.00 per serving. What?!! $3.00?? For bread?! They charge $3 for something every other restaurant includes… $3 for something that likely cost them at maximum no more than 0.50 cents!? And probably not even that. The waitress told us she gave us two “loaves” – I guess the $3 should only include one “loaf” but she gave us two. Now one “loaf” is approx 5×5” piece of focaccia bread cut into 4-5 pieces. Enough for 2 people so I guess that’s why she gave us two (one extra out of kindness). All in all – $3 for what should be given in good customer service and, “You’re paying $30-50 per person so the least we can do is include a .50 cent piece of bread.” Not them – Absolutely ridiculous!! That is the epitome of nickel and diming your customers!
My wife and I later agreed we will never return. Too many other options we have to try in Colony Square.
I ordered the crab ravioli which was hugely underwhelming. The wine didn’t taste reduced, there were lemon pieces that were a bit too bitter, the crab was on top, I expected it to be lump crab but it was small shreds, and it was lacking in the simple crab flavor. Plus it was a very small portion, maybe 7 small ravioli? The breadcrumbs on top didn’t make much sense or taste well with the dish, and maybe because it was on a plate rather a bowl, it cooled down very quickly in its way to me. I pushed through because I had time constraints but I do not recommend getting this dish.
The good: The interior is lovely and large. The decor was pleasant and the noise level was moderate. We were seated in a section of 2 tops and were a bit too close to the tables around us. Also, the staff was friendly and kind.
The bad: The service was lack-luster at best. The table was not cleared of unnecessary glassware, it was not crumbed or wiped (was sticky), the silverware was not reset, and we had to ask for share plates after our dishes arrived. Our server was nice, but seemed under-supported or overwhelmed.
The ugly: I hate to say this, but the food was not good. The bread service was stale, the quail was too salty to have more than a couple bites, and we had to send back the gnocchi because not only did it look horrific (like poop!) but also just didn’t taste good at all. The seafood pasta was decent, but had a very strong garlic flavor (which I didn’t mind, but wouldn’t return for). The tiramisu was nothing to rave home about.
Overall, it felt like the menu was an afterthought and that all the budget went into the location and decor. Maybe it was an off night? Maybe the menu was made by chatgpt? I hate to be so harsh, but as an Italian restaurant you open yourself up to plenty of competition around the city, and Serena unfortunately just doesn’t make the cut.
This place was exceptional. It’s beautiful on the inside — very calm, kind of moody and romantical cute ✨. I sat at the bar and was helped by two different providers — they were amazing . The customer service was impeccable.
Then I ate the food and what a wonderful mouth party that was . I had mushrooms and a ravioli and the sweet potato crème brûlée.. Mercy..
You should go — it’s fantastic .
