Serenata

Restaurateur Besim Kukaj strays from his Italian-accented portfolio (Cara Mia, Gallo Nero, Il Bastardo) with this colorful, Chelsea-set Mexican eatery. From the kitchen, find shareable appetizers such as shredded beef tacos, poached shrimp ceviche and a gluten-free salad built with cactus, grasshoppers, roasted corn and cipollini onions. For a larger bite, signature entrees range from plancha-sautéed Chilean sea bass to huitlacoche (corn truffle) enchiladas.
