It was Northern Italy recreated as Serafina, NYC’s iconic Northern Italian Cuisine Restaurant opened its doors to the gourmands of Mumbai! Serafina Mumbai has been brought to the country by Vittorio Assaf, Fabio Granato, Sant Singh Chatwal and Vikram Chatwal in association with Sunil Kapur, the Indian partner. A glittering night, the launch saw the aforementioned names hobnob with some of the most prominent faces in the Mumbai social circles and tuck into some delectable Northern Italian fare over glasses of the choicest wines and fine music!

Karan Johar was one of the first faces to arrive and joined in the famous “Pasta Ribbon Cutting Ceremony” traditional to all openings of Serafina, whichever part of the world it might be in. The Italian Consul General Giampaolo Cutillo cut the enormous ribbon made out of authentic Northern Italian pasta as owners Vittorio Assaf, Fabio Granato and Sunil Kapoor cheered on.
