With nine locations in New York, Serafina, “A New York Classic For Almost 30 Years,” is making a comeback within Miami city limits. The opening comes “more than a decade,” recent coverage by the Miami New Times points out, “after it first closed.”
With the opening in Miami, the brand will have two locations in South Florida, including one at the Aventura Mall, where it provides a “Globally Recognized Experience in Aventura.”
“The work of Italian founders, chefs and restaurateurs, Fabio Granato and Vittorio Assaf, partnered up to bring this beloved Italian cuisine restaurant to Miami,” says the brand’s Miami website. “Known for its giant pop art filled walls and modern finishes, Serafina is the perfect spot to indulge in incredible signature dishes and craft cocktails.”
What Now contacted Fabio Granato on Wednesday, asking if any opening date had been announced yet for the Miami location, which will launch at 652 NE First Ave.
“We’re not exactly sure yet,” Granato said. “We’re still waiting on liquor licenses.”
Granato said you can expect the same great menu found at the restaurant’s other locations. That means Pasta dishes like Penne Alla Vodka (Home Made Pomodoro Sauce, Vodka, Touch Of Cream With Pancetta) and Linguine Alle Vongole Veraci (Baby Clams, White Wine, Garlic, E.v.o.o., Tomatoes, Parsley, Calabrian Chili); fish dishes like Branzino Ai Cherry Tomatoes (Sauteed With White Wine, Lemon & Butter Sauce, Roasted Potatoes, Asparagus); and Meat dishes like Chicken Parmesan and Veal Milanese.
