La Strada Restaurant - Ottawa

Wow. A really enjoyable experience.  Lovely authentic Italian food at a reasonable price. (the lamb and steak were out of out price range.  The menu has a lot of variety so there is something for everyone. (even the cocktails! The wine list is compact and full of consignment wines but the staff are very helpful in matching the wine to the food.  We will return!

Phenomenal classic Italian food. A family favourite for many years. Always consistent fresh delicious fare. Attentive service and comfortable atmosphere.

Love La Strada.  Have been going for over 20 years and the food never dissapoints.  It's traditional Italian in a lovely environment with professional service.  Free parking too!<br/ <br/ Highly recommend the zucchini best in the city.  And haven't gone wrong with the canneloni over the years, but my suggestion is to ask them to use both bechamel and tomato sauce it's how they did it old school before people wanted healthier options.<br/ <br/ Tiramisu never dissapoints either!

Warm and Cozy Italian restaurant.

Nice surprise. The food was excellent. We had the smelt and the grilled calamari as appetizers. Both were excellent. For the main courses, my wife had the linguine with shrimp and I had the liver with onion. Again, both were excellent. We live in the Ottawa area and the last time we were at La Strada was about 10 years ago and we were both so so on the food then, which is why we were both pleasantly surprise at the improved quality of the food now. I would definitely go back.
