SERRA by Birreria is a breathtaking escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, truly living up to its name as a “greenhouse” oasis on the 14th floor. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant ambiance and lush greenery transport you straight to the idyllic countryside of Southern Italy. The menu is a masterpiece—each dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight! The craft cocktails are equally impressive! SERRA’s attention to detail in both the food and the atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a serene retreat, this spot is guaranteed to impress. I can’t wait to return!

The customer service was good. Our waitress was timely and polite. The food was delicious. The appetizers are on the smaller side. My party of four had three appetizers to share which was enough. The pasta I ordered was very delicious. The overall atmosphere was nice. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. Overall, I am happy with my visit and would return.

Excellent food and cocktails, and the only rooftop bar I could find that I felt super comfortable taking a baby to! Definitely a great spot and they change the decor seasonally, which makes it feel like a new experience every few months. I was happy with everything! The market underneath is also something to behold! I could have spent an entire day just at the market!

Been to this rooftop years ago and again recently (June 2025) for the Amalfi pop up. Great service, beautiful decor, great drinks, and a good vibe. We were here very early. So it. Wasn't crowded yet. Tourists go here but if you go early before the crowd it's a nice spot to grab a rooftop drink on a nice day. Hot in the summer however. So, if you don't like heat, come during a cooler day.

This rooftop is absolutely beautiful! They change the decoration every single season! Not just that, but the food and service are excellent!! We will remember this as “the place where we’ve had the best Tiramisu ever”. We got a table during week day, without a reservation. However, I do recommend getting a reservation ahead, as this place can get pretty busy at peak hours. I will definitely return. recommended!

SERRA by Birreria is an absolute delight—a true escape in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is stunning, with its seasonal decor and greenhouse vibe creating a cozy, inviting space. The food is fresh and flavorful, and the cocktails are as beautiful as they are delicious. What really makes it special, though, is the vibe: laid-back yet elegant, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Perfect for a date night, a special occasion, or just treating yourself to something memorable.

So beautiful and great food! Came here for a work lunch, 6 of us in total. Our boss also got some wine as well. We shared some AMAZING apps, I especially loved the suppli (arancini) and zucca (squash). Bread was delicious, so amazing we got 2. And for my main I got the Halibut which was cooked to absolute perfection! It was warm and came apart so flakey and so moist!! Crispy exterior was so nice and crunchy.
