| - Love this little gem in university circle. If you're around the area on weekdays, it's a wonderful place to stop in and grab a delicious lunch. If it's a nice day, the patio seating is great.
In the evenings you will definitely need reservations (maybe for lunch, too). It is a really small, intimate restaurant. I counted once, and though I don't remember the exact number, I believe there were less than 40 seats in the whole place, so it fills up quickly. But trust me, it's so worth it. With so few seats, the service is outstanding. It's a very open, attractive restaurant, too.
Now for the food. The cuisine is more Mediterranean at Sergio's, unlike Sarava which has a much heavier Brazilian influence. Everything I've had there has been really good, but a few of my favorites would have to be the Orichette pasta, which comes in a delicious creamy sauce (not really alfredo, but along those lines) with grilled chicken and these tiny little fried onion shavings. The flavors mix wonderfully. They have several great desserts. My favorite is the Coconut Butter Cake, but you can't go wrong with the dense chocolate torte, or really any of their dessert menu.
Strongly recommend stopping here after a visit to the museums or on your way to an Orchestra concert. The prices are much more reasonable than the Severance Hall restaurant, and the atmosphere is so pleasant and intimate. I definitely prefer this over the larger Sarava sister restaurant.
