We’re longtime Tanzy fans and were genuinely impressed with the redesign and new experience at Serena Pastificio. I went with my parents for Christmas Day dinner, and it couldn’t have been a better way to spend the holiday. Our server, Andreja, was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel so taken care of all night. The food and drinks were outstanding, and we made sure to compliment the chef, Chef Scott, because everything was truly delicious.The manager on duty also came by our table to check in, which really added to the overall experience. The ambiance was beautiful, festive, and inviting. Great vibes all around.
Overall, it was an amazing meal, a memorable Christmas dinner, and a place we’ll absolutely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

Food was sub-par. Service was slow and unprofessional. They also never sent us our Christmas photos and are not picking up the phone. Expensive and disappointing

This is a terrible restaurant me and my family went to the brunch with Santa event that they were hosting the food. Honestly wasn’t that great but the most important part above all was that they never sent us our promised pictures that we were supposed to get when we took pictures with Santa Claus, which was the whole reason that we went to the event in the first place and we never got our pictures they aren’t answering our calls or answering to the fact that they didn’t send what they promised in the first place such a terrible experience because I like to have my Christmas photos yearly and this was the first year that I couldn’t receive them all due to this place.

Went here last night with 2 other couples. The food was delicious & our server Ricky was one of the best we’ve had anywhere! For one of our appetizers we ordered the table side handcrafted mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes. It was amazing! I highly recommend it to anywho enjoys caprese. I had their seafood risotto which was excellent & my husband ordered their tagliatelle bolognese that he said was outstanding. We finished off the dinner by sharing a tiramisu and a plate of zeppoles with a lemon curd. Both were fabulous. We will definitely be back!

Priscilla was our server for our first visit to this restaurant. She was absolutely amazing with a professional attitude found at only fine dining establishments. Now to the food… 5 star quality. The dishes that came out of the kitchen tasted home made like a Grandma was back there all day cooking. A very satisfying experience worthy of many more visits!
