La Strada Italian Restaurant|BYO

My wife and I went to La Strada last Saturday for my nephew's Baptism lunch. The service was excellent and they accommodated our special requests. The food was delicious and well presented, which is why I am giving it 2 stars instead of 1. However, I am currently feeling very sick, dehydrated, lightheaded, dizzy, and have a headache after experiencing the worst 48 hours in a long time. I won't go into details, but many of us in our group have been dealing with what seems to be Norovirus (tested negative for COVID). This hit us on Sunday and has been a struggle. My sister contacted La Strada to inform them, but we have not received a response. Whether it was from improper handwashing or bad food causing Gastroenteritis/Food Poisoning, it is completely unacceptable. Please consider this before dining at La Strada, as I would not wish my recent experience on anyone.

The restaurant's overpriced menu is nothing special. My $48 fish special was disgusting, but I didn't complain and just picked at it to avoid a scene. The service was slow, and the waiters seemed clueless or dishonest. On top of already high prices, they try to scam you by adding extra charges like pretending salads are included in your meal or charging for coffee you never received. This was a birthday dinner, but they didn't even bother to put a candle on the dessert for the birthday person. They did remember to add a 20% tip to the bill though. The terrible service and overall experience were not worth the money. I will not be returning.

Really nice restaurant inside, the staff and management there are truly wonderful. It 's a great place to dine out for a special occasion, or any occasion, but they don 't quite get the Michelin stars. For a place that nice you would think they food might be a bit more off the charts . It was really good but not the best ever. Nonetheless we 'd go back.

The meal was mediocre, nothing exceptional. I had high expectations for this restaurant, but it did not live up to them. The Caesar salad should have had homemade croutons, and the chicken marsala was just average with a bland and thin sauce. The server was satisfactory, but the host was rude when we requested a window seat. I doubt we will be coming back here, as the food was average and the restaurant was cold, except for the warm bathroom.

An amazing first experience!! We were 10 minutes late to our reservation from rain, and waited another 15 minutes for a table. DIDNT MATTER. worth every minute of the wait! They are busy for a reason! We had John as our server. He was exceptional. So funny and did not hold back with his customers in terms of personality and laughs. He also knew all the repeat customers around us by name, which me and my fiancé loved (gives a more family feel). We were well beyond closing hours and weren’t rushed at all. The best vodka sauce in town. We’ve been looking for the perfect Italian spot for our designated date night and finally found it. Thank you!
