A fixture on the Philadelphia restaurant scene since 1985, Serrano, with its upstairs acoustic café, the Tin Angel, attracts an artsy, neighborhood crowd to its colorful, Boho setting. At the lower level, the long, narrow room boasts a time-etched wooden bar on the left and a fireplace to the right. Either crystal chandeliers or colored-glass Indian lamps hang from that ornate ceiling. The lights are low, but the mood is so relaxed that they provide crayons and paper for the kids at each table. The diverse menu spans the globe with Guinness lamb shanks from across the pond, Mediterranean noshes such as homemade hummus and baba ghanouj, plus paella and Vietnamese calamari before bringing it home with a seven-pepper meatloaf and chicken potpie.
