OUR ORGANIZATION
Dan & Lise-Anne
Dan and Lise-Anne Serafini, Fort Lauderdale residents, have been in the local restaurant business for nearly 40 years. They moved here in the 1980s and helped create the crowd-pleasing East Side Mario’s “Little Italy” restaurant in Aventura Mall.
After selling Mario’s to a national chain, they opened Big Tomato Market Grill in Pembroke Pines, which became a popular eatery for 15 years.
In 2010, when the former Giorgio’s Grill became available, the Serafinis rebranded it and launched GG’s Waterfront — a chef-driven, modern American restaurant serving cuisine dockside with magnificent views of daily sunsets
Alex Serafini
Born and raised in South Florida, Alex grew up in the family restaurant business. At 16, he moved to Toronto in pursuit of his hockey career before attending Carleton University in Ottawa to earn a Communications and Marketing Degree. After graduation, he moved to New York City, landing a job as a server at Union Square Café. Under the tutelage of award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer, Alex worked his way up through a number of management roles. His key focus was in operations and concept development for new projects with Union Square Hospitality Group.
Alex moved back to South Florida to help further develop and grow the We Care Hospitality concepts. He holds the position of Managing Partner and is a key leader in the vision and execution of company projects.
