Ristorante Serena
About
Ristorante Serena is a family-owned Italian restaurant in Winchester built around the cooking of Calabria, the southern Italian region where chef and owner Giovanni Longo grew up and trained. The menu centers on Italian specialties made with quality ingredients, served with wine and cocktails in a casual setting. The restaurant’s stated goal is to give diners the taste of Calabria along with an enjoyable dining experience.
Longo was born in Crotone and studied at a culinary school in Calabria before moving to the United States in 1996. He spent a decade as executive chef at Il Faro in Medford Square, working alongside his brother, then opened his own restaurant in Malden’s Maplewood Square in 2006, naming it after his daughter, Serena. He received numerous awards there before bringing the restaurant to Winchester.
