What I Love About Serafina 2.0

February 4, 2018

Why Serafina 2.0? Because the city’s favourite Italian restaurant and the place where you get the best Tiramisu is back in a new avatar at Quest Mall. Serafina 2.0 has a new decor, new seating arrangement and a menu that includes some old favourites and new dishes that are sure to become favourites soon.

The place looks completely different now and I must say I like this decor much more than the earlier one.  A red brick facade, roman arches, earthy colours and an open-seating plan make up the new Serafina. It looks much more brighter, cheerful and welcoming. With the new seating, one can get a clear view of the semi-open kitchen and the oven that churns out the restaurant’s signature pizzas. The al fresco area now has a coffee zone and the bar has expanded to accommodate an open display of an extensive wine collection. 

Coming to the food. Fret not, the menu has retained some of the old favourites like the truffle pizza, baby lamb chops, risotto al porcini etc. What is new is a Chef’s Special Menu divided into soup, salad, veg and non-veg appetisers, pizza, pasta, veg and non-veg main course and dessert sections.

On the new menu, each dish has a distinct flavour. The Insalata Pollo Grosso is a simple salad with grilled chicken breast, kidney beans, roasted corn, iceberg lettuce with mustard dressing. The slight sweetness with the mustard dressing and the crunchy veggies make for a perfect start to the meal.

If you are fond of pork and beef, I will recommend the Crostini di Chorizo (slices of french baguette, gratinated with mozzarella & topped with slices of chorizo) and Polpette Di Manzo Piccanti (minced fillet Mignon dumplings with bell pepper in tangy sauce). The taste of chorizo comes out beautifully with the crostini and the filet mignon is soft and tender.

Serafina pizzas have always been brilliant and the one I tried is aptly named Paradiso. The toppings are chicken, olives, onions, mozzarella with basil pesto and tomato sauce and the base is a slightly crispy, thin crust.

What is Italian food without pasta? I tried the Cremoso Spaghetti Calabrese or Spaghetti in tangy, homemade pink sauce with seasonal greens, olives and aged parmesan. This is the perfect Italian comfort food and I did not miss the addition of meat in it. For fish lovers, the Pesce E Mostarda Salsa or pan fried bhetki with parsley mashed potato and creamy mustard sauce can be a good option. I found it to be too mild for my taste.

Enough has been said about the famed Serafina Tiramisu so I’m not going to tell you again how beautiful it is. What I will say is that the Tiramisu has found a worthy competitor in the Choco Hazelnut Crème Brûlée. This dish is like heaven in a ramekin. Think of the creamy, hazelnut filling in a Ferrero Rocher praline. Now think of that same filling as a delicious, smooth Crème Brûlée. Yes, it is that good and you must try it. Absolutely must!

For chocolate lovers, there is also the Rich Chocolate Temptation which is a truffle fudge with chocolate ganache. Delicious no doubt but my vote goes to the Crème Brûlée 🙂

Serafina Kolkata Launches New Menu

August 14, 2017

Serafina, my favorite Italian restaurant in the city now has a revamped menu. And everything on it is so good! From the refreshing Twisted Orange Mojito, to the earthy and filling Cappuccino Di Funghi – Cream of Mushroom Soup to the mains, each dish is a winner all the way.

The carnivores will love the Anti Pasto Misto,  a platter that includes parma wrap chicken, chicken mortadella crostini, buffalo mozzarella, parma ham, grilled zucchini, chorizo and pimento stuffed olives. I am not much of a soup fan but the Cream of Mushroom soup I really liked. This is served with a portion of chicken with mushroom crostini with a generous helping of parmesan cheese. 

Anti Pasto Misto

Serafina always makes great pizzas and the Pizza Pollo Funghi  with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, spicy marinated chicken, shitake mushrooms, onions and chilli flakes did not disappoint. My favorite however was the Brasato Di Pasce – a braised beckti served with spinach and mashed potatoes. After the beckti, the next favorite was the barbeque pork sausage with egg fries. A dish that has pork and egg is kinda tough not to love!

Serafina is synonymous with Tiramisu in Kolkata but they do have some other desserts that are equally good. Crespelle Con Nutella is a new addition to the menu. Nutella stuffed crepes with vanilla ice cream. Something very simple but oh so delicious!

Turkey with Berry Jus

I’ve tried some of the dishes from the special menu and they are definitely not to be missed. If you are non-vegetarian, I would recommend the Tuna Carpacio, Shrimp Ravioli, Seafood Risotto with very Indian flavors and the Turkey Roulade with Berry Jus. If you love Pizza, try the Spinach and Ricotta Pizza. Very simple but such a beautiful blend of the cheese and spinach flavors. And I am saying that being a hardcore non-vegetarian!

The Big Apple Brunch At Serafina, Kolkata

June 12, 2016

Do you know how old the concept of brunch is? Nearly 120 years! The word appeared in print for the first time in the US in 1896. “The latest ‘fad’ is to issue invitations for a meal called ‘brunch…a repast at 11 o’clock a.m.,” a column in the New Oxford, an old Pennsylvania newspaper explained. In India, the concept reached much much later and in Kolkata, I think it has been only a couple of years since restaurants and hotels introduced elaborate Sunday brunches. And one of the best in the city right now is The Big Apple Brunch at Serafina, inspired by the iconic New York style Sunday brunches.
