Best Restaurants for People Watching in Piedmont Heights

Food was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the surprise desert and loved the fact that we could pay from their app and separate the checks! This was truly a great birthday dinner!

Always a great experience! The waiter was very attentive. We were there for my friend’s birthday and they made her feel super special. They also had their French Onion Soup which is off the charts!!

Serena Pastifico is a gem of an Italian restaurant that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring that every detail of our evening was seamless. They made us feel like honored guests without being overbearing—exactly what excellent service should be. The star of the evening, however, was undoubtedly the food. While everything we ordered was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor, the Crab Ravioli deserves special mention. This dish was a masterpiece: delicate pasta filled with a creamy blend of spinach, ricotta, and fresh herbs, paired with tender lump crab. The brown butter sauce was luxurious, perfectly balanced by the nuttiness of the almond picada and the sharpness of the parmesan, a citrus zest and fresh herbs. Every bite was a revelation, combining richness and freshness in equal measure.

Our first time was awesome! Great food, even better service! Shout out to Carlos (Hot Cross Buns) and the team for great recommendations and service! We will be back! Try this if you are in town. You will not be disappointed!
