199 Main Street
(at Court Street)
White Plains, NY
I’ve been to the Serafina location near Columbus Circle in
Manhattan, so when offered a choice of dining options in White Plains, I
decided to try out their Serafina location.
As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a friendly
welcome. The service was helpful and informative throughout our entire meal. We
must have been waited upon by at least half a dozen different members of their
wait-staff. Best of all they were not hovering over us or being intrusive.
We started off with an order of the fried calamari, along
with a warm Italian goat cheese salad with baby spinach, honey, and roasted
pine nuts. The baby spinach with honey was delish, but wish the warm goat
cheese were placed on top of the greens as opposed to on a toasted piece of
bread.
Continuing my craving for Neapolitan pizza, we ordered the
All’uovo: tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, sliced tomato with one egg. We were
instructed to “break” the egg and spread the yolk throughout the entire pizza.
Cold yolk on cool or cold pizza is definitely not recommended! So best to eat
when it comes piping hot from the oven.
Our favorite dish though was a rather unique appetizer dish:
avocado and shrimps “san pietro”—avocado and baby shrimp served with arugula,
grape tomatoes, and cannellini beans in a champagne mustard sauce. The baby
shrimp tasted like lobster and the mustard sauce added a very nice hint of
spice to the dish.
We paired our meal with a rosé (Bertaud Belieu Cote de
Provence, St. Tropez)—in spite of it being past rosé season—and a prosecco
(Prosecco Flor Serafina Label).
Pros:
Friendly service.
Nice, bright atmosphere.
Cons:
It’s located in White Plains.
Final Thoughts
I would rate the White Plains location higher than the NYC
location due to the more attentive service and interesting menu options.
