Serena Pastificio in Midtown Atlanta offers an exceptional dining experience with its warm ambiance, attentive service, and an exquisite menu that celebrates authentic Italian flavors. Among their standout dishes, the Limon Ricotta Waffle is an absolute must-try. Light, airy, and bursting with zesty lemon flavor, the waffle perfectly balances sweetness with a creamy ricotta richness, making each bite a delightful experience. Whether you're stopping by for brunch or a leisurely meal, Serena Pastificio delivers culinary excellence in every detail. Highly recommended!

My wife and I split the pear and frizzett salad and each of us had the mushroom ragu. Both dishes were excellent as usual. And as usual, we so enjoyed being with the folks who work at La Tavola. Beth does such a great job coordinating everything.

We are frequent diners at Grana, and it never fails to rate a 5-star experience. The food is excellent and the service is friendly and prompt. The bar is comfortable and fun. It is not a quiet environment, but we’re okay with that. Valet parking to the left of the building as you pull in makes it easy. We had a great experience last night, and we’ll certainly go back.
