We loved the atmosphere of Serra by Berriera! It was an oasis away from the main floor of Eataly. The service was excellent and the menu had plenty to offer. The tagliatelle with short rib was very tasty, as was my husband's gnocchi. We will be back!

The food was amazing - because of the creative approach to cooking, the menu was full of delicious culinary choices. Our meal was flavorful and delicious. However, the service was lacking. After are order was taken we never saw our waiter until the bill was presented. We had several requests - more water, another cocktail and our bill - and each of these requests we had to stop another waitstaff member to get these for us. We will try again, and hopefully the service will improve.
