Our Story

Serio’s was originally established in November of 1943 by Salvo Serio, whose family came to America from Cefalu, Sicily. Salvo was the great-uncle of the current proprietors of Serio’s. The original restaurant was located at the corner of Mississippi Ave. and Alabama St. and was renowned for its great Italian food and steaks. While Serio’s had a brisk curb service business, which was common in Greenwood in that era, enjoying authentic Italian dishes or a steak dinner inside the tiny original restaurant was a well-kept secret among Serio’s close-knit clientele. Salvo operated Serio’s continuously for over 30 years until he retired in the 1970s. 

Today’s Serio’s is a re-creation of the original but is located in a larger and more modern building with an environment that has been created to provide a unique collection of dining options which include private booths and dining rooms with classic white tablecloth dining, casual coziness of the fireplace room and a full-service bar.  The new and enhanced outdoor courtyard seating features a relaxing atmosphere with both table seating and conversation area, along with a bocce ball court.

In addition to its classic Italian cuisine, Serio’s has become known for its delicious steaks and has transitioned to become Serio’s Italian Steakhouse, a traditional Italian restaurant offering a wide selection of steaks.  With steaks, seafood, Italian dishes and its extensive menu, Serio’s is a Delta dining destination that offers something for everyone.

Serio’s private booths, dining rooms and fireplace room are all available for groups, meetings and parties. Whether it’s party for 12 in a private booth, 25-30 in the private dining room, or party for 20 on the patio, Serio’s extensive menu can be customized to your preference for an enjoyable dining experience. Large groups of 80 or more can reserve the entire restaurant and outdoor courtyard seating.
