Serena's Wine Bar — Restaurant in New York

We wanted to come to Serena because we live nearby and always pass it. It’s usually crowded the decor looked chic.

Service was not bad but took a lot of flagging the waiters down to get anything. The food however was very average. The burrata was hard and the inside tasted like cream cheese rather than stracciatella. The bread was also cold.

The pastas were below average. We got the Arrabbiata and Alla Vodka. They were seasoned well and spicy but we probably could make a better pasta at home with store bought sauces.

The manager watched me and my friends the entire time like we were going to rob the place. Its 2023 don’t assume every person of color is poor and doesn’t belong. As an event producer I will let me entire network know to...
