Serafina Pizza was a great stop while touring Central Park. The Italian food was excellent, and everything we tried was full of flavor. The upstairs area is beautifully decorated to look like a garden, but it’s all indoors, which makes it a perfect escape from the weather. The entrance is a bit hidden from the street, but it’s worth seeking out. The waitstaff can get a little overwhelmed, especially with how close the tables are, but they’re attentive and work hard to make the experience enjoyable. Definitely a spot I’d return to. - Oscar Fonseca
