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!
