Enjoy Dubai soul and New York spirit at Serafina Dubai, Souk al Bahar, with spectacular views of Dubai Fountain. Serafina is known for its authentic Italian cuisine combined with an upbeat, energetic atmosphere.

What we ate
We started with the tuna Carpaccio - thinly sliced fresh tuna with a special dipping sauce and Italian buffalo mozzarella served with
sliced tomatoes, and a basket of focaccia with herbs. For the mains, we ordered the Watermelon Salad which was served with feta cheese, mint and citrus marinated with extra virgin olive oil; the Bresaola pizza with Fontina cheese, mozzarella, Italian imported bresaola and baby arugula and the Ai Porcini pizza with Italian imported porcini mushrooms, in a wood stone burning oven. All followed by the most amazing Tiramisu.
Verdict
Really nice chilled out vibe, fab food and great views! Love it so much, the number will go on my speed dial!
