Franco Serafin
General Manager – Blue Hill
Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Franco and his wife, Juliette, came to
New York in the early 1990's. After working at Gramercy Tavern for 5 years,
he met Dan and David Barber, who asked him to help open Blue Hill in the
bottom of a brownstone in the West Village.
As Blue Hill's original General Manager, Franco has enjoyed setting a high standard of service. His daughter, Ruby, born just before Blue Hill opened, and she now loves to play at answering phones and taking reservations.
