Serafina

Fodor's Review:

To many loyal patrons, Serafina is the perfect neighborhood café. And then there's the romance: burnt-sienna walls topped by a forest-green ceiling convey the feeling of a lush (and perhaps decadent) garden villa—a sense heightened by the small sheltered courtyard out back. Menu highlights include grilled eggplant layered and baked with prosciutto, goat cheese, and tomatoes, and the fresh mussels steamed with smoked tomatoes, harissa (spicy hot sauce made with chilies, garlic, cumin, coriander, and olive oil), leeks, and sweet vermouth. Live jazz every Friday through Sunday (and occasionally on Wednesday and Thursday, too) should be considered a plus, but be forewarned that it can be kind of difficult to hold a conversation while the band is playing.
