| 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. One wall shows a collection of blue and white plates; another a grouping of antique mirrors. 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 includes leanings toward Asia (tuna tartare, Thai beef salad), and from the Mediterranean, there is an authentic shepherd’s salad along with wild mushroom bruschetta, traditional osso buco and classic bouillabaisse. Vegetarians can substitute tofu for meat or seafood in most entrées. |
