Serafina - Philadelphia

Serafina
130 S 18th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103 (215) 977-7755
Imagine a restaurant that is combined with an electronic dance music club.  While Serafina tends to cater to the Italian, upper-middle class crowd, there was overt dance music playing throughout the entire evening's dinner.  I felt like I was at a rave and I should get up and dance while enjoying my calamari.

Serafina boasts a nice bar, and the restaurant is well decorated.
Large glass windows give the restaurant an open air feel with tables outside for al fresco dining during the summer months.
(above) It may not look like much, but this cocktail was amazing. Lazzaroni Bocci Ball: Lazzaroni Amaretto Liquor, Orange Juice over ice. $12.  Sweet.  Tasted like a creamsicle.  May have had 3.  Or 4.  They really could have done something better about the presentation here however.
