Serafina

My uncle Raj took me out for lunch on Sunday with my aunt Mala and my cousin sister Keyaa.

We went to an Italian restaurant called Serafina. It is a quiet place, and is famous for its pizzas because there is a wood-fired oven.

To begin with, we ordered two pizzas. One Smoked Salmon Pizza with cream sauce, buffalo mozzarella and wasabi, and one Bianca Pizza (a Serafina classic!) with Fontina, buffalo mozzarella, arugala and Parmigiano.

I preferred the Smoked Salmon pizza to the latter because I liked the texture better and I am generally a fan of Salmon.

For mains, I ordered a plate of homemade spinach and ricotta Ravioli ‘Alla Salvia’ with butter and sage. I was really surprised by how filling such a small portion could be!

Raj has always been telling me about how delicious the chocolate mousse is, so finally for dessert, we ordered the Chocolate Mousse with a sesame praline, and chocolate crumble. It was divine.
The mousse was so dense and uniformly silky. It was placed over a more firm base of what seemed to me like a chocolate shortbread base. All the same, it really was as good as I had been told.
