We have stopped here twice while traveling through St. Augustine. I so wish we could frequent this gem of an Italian restaurant more frequently. FANTASTIC is all we can say. Thank you Christina for another fabulous experience.

This week my family and I had the pleasure of eating at La strada Italian restaurant. The wait staff was knowledgeable about the food and specials, our food was intricately delicious. The restaurant was quaint, clean and above else tased amazing!!! So glad we found this place in our vacation.
Real authentic Italian food, unlike anywhere else around! Lots of flavor! Tons of choices, great wines, the desserts were to die for. The best lobster bisque we have ever tasted. One of the best experiences we’ve ever had from beginning to end. Very cozy and perfect for a date night. Can’t wait to go back and try more things. I think we found our new favorite spot for dinner!
As a local, it is unfortunate to even have to give this review to a local restaurant. The food is great! The service is a constant rotation of new waiters and waitresses albeit most are wonderful. The problem is the chef/ owner mark. So many times wanting a nice quiet dinner but can only hear him shouting and cursing his employees. Some trying to regain their composure or holding back tears. This has made for an uncomfortable dining experience so many times now that just can not do it anymore. The latest and definitely last experience example: came in at 4 was sat at a reserved table slated for 6pm. No problem I assured waiter the meal woud not take 2 hours. 5 minutes later shouts and slamming of dishes as that poor waiter was being verbally abused and berated. Embarrassed, that poor waiter came and asked us to move. Definitely not his fault nor did he do anything wrong. God bless the poor waitress that endured there for 2 years but sadly was finally run off. Last time she could not hold back her tears. Sorry this was long but needed to be said. I would give a zero if I could. This man should consider anger management

Very disappointing. Shrimp scampi was drowning in butter and had a sweet taste. Pasta sauce was bitter and sweet.

We have been there 4 times. Two were great two were horrible.Tonight we had a reservation at 7. By 7:20 the server told us he was too busy to get us drinks or take our order. Another server refused to move us away from a table of people who were yelling at each other. We had to yell across the table to converse. We left and are elsewhere. Avoid this place like the plague.
Such an authentic Italian place with the red and white tablecloths and decor. Don't be in a hurry if you eat here but worth the wait! Veal is awesome! Decent prices! Lots of food! And save room for chocolate mousse! Best I ever had!!!
Grab yourself a glass of wine for this one it's going to be a minute. I am a 35-year-old woman that has never been out on Valentine's. Last night February 14th 2024 was my first time and it was the most awful experience. My fiance, who I am marrying exactly a month from today February 15th 2024, took me out for Valentine's Day thinking it was going to be the best experience that both of us could have. He reserved the table a week or so in advance. We got there right at our reservation time 7:45 p.m. and was sat. We then were ignored for 15 minutes before even asking us if we wanted to order anything. We ordered calamari and cheese bread. We also ordered our entrees which came with a salad. Are salads came out 15 minutes after getting our order and then our cheese bread. At this point we've already been there for 45 minutes. We then get a hold of the waitress and tell her that we want our appetizer here and are entrees taken to go. We were then there for a whole hour before she gave us our entrees to leave. But she had no problem giving us our check to get us out of there. Mind you we reserved our table and the rest of everybody else and they say they were booked at capacity which the restaurant isn't very big. I heard this server telling the door dash people that the cook was at least 15 to 20 minutes behind. They should have never agreed to do DoorDash on Valentine's Day when you have a fully booked restaurant for the night. When we told the waitress that the calamari was undercooked rubbery and not very much portion, she didn't seem to care very much but said that she would let him know. We ate most of it because we were hungry. I'm also a diabetic and needed to consume something other than bread. We had one waitress that I can't remember her name I think it started with a c and our second waitress was Heidi. When we got home and looked at our food I was pretty disgusted. For whatever price my fiance paid it was definitely not worth what we got. I got chicken parm and he got tortellini meat something. I believe my chicken parm was $21 plus tax and the taste of it should have been $5.99 plus tax. For the restaurant to be in business that long, last night should have been smooth sailing. But it seemed like the customers that were getting service were people that ordered wine. Needless to say, I will be cooking Valentine's day next year.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here while we were on vacation in Florida. The restaurant was not easily seen from the road as a matter of fact when we pulled into the parking lot, we weren’t sure that it was even open, but it was and it wasn’t crowded the night we were there. The atmosphere was very nice. The waitress was great, and the food was delicious.
