Serafina Mare will open in Manhattan next year

Serafina will open its first seafood-focused restaurant, Serafina Mare, in the new Anagram apartment tower at 300 E. 50th St. next year. The new restaurant will occupy the entire ground-floor retail space, spanning 5,000 square feet, and is the 13th Manhattan location for the Italian trattoria brand. The Anagram tower, developed by Global Holdings and MAG Partners, will begin welcoming tenants in August. The new Serafina location is a full-floor lease secured before apartment leasing began, and will compete with other Italian restaurants in the area. The restaurant is expected to open nine months after taking possession of the space on January 1st.
