La Strada At The Shore

I ordered veal Milanese, it was terrible. I don’t know where they get their veal but it was like shoe leather all covered nicely with mushrooms and gravy/sauce. I was truely disappointed and will not be visiting there anytime soon, if ever.

Re: the concern I posted earlier/below about this restaurant… I truly hope this wasn’t the actual owner responding with such a generic, auto-generated message. It lacked empathy and came across as insincere and dismissive, and frankly, quite appalling. I’m genuinely baffled at how this kind of customer treatment is acceptable. Now it makes sense why the staff, Michelle and David, behaved the way they did; negligent and unaccountable, just like the owner apparently!
Complaint: Extremely disappointed with the front staff (Michelle) and the manager (David). I had been waiting in the Happy Hour line for some time, and when a spot finally opened, well before Happy Hour ended, I sat down and placed my small 7lb service dog on my lap, as I always do.
Michelle approached me with a rude and condescending attitude, insisting I place my dog on the floor between the bar stools or leave. I explained that I would quickly bring my dog to a friend in the poker room and return, which is directly downstairs and would take less than a minute to get to... It was 5:54pm—still within Happy Hour—but she told me to wait then she returned with David, the manager.
I told David there were no signs at the front indicating service animals had to remain on the floor. I again said I would be gone less than a minute to drop my dog off and return. Despite this, he insisted Happy Hour was over and refused to seat me. I explained I had clearly been waiting in line well before the cut-off time, but he remained dismissive.
The way both Michelle and David handled the situation was extremely disappointing—unnecessarily difficult, lacking in understanding, and ultimately, they turned away a paying customer over something that could have been easily resolved with a bit of courtesy and common sense. This kind of treatment is a poor reflection on what is otherwise a good restaurant. Very disappointing.

I came here with 9 others last night, August 16th, the vibes were great and the service was great however, the amount of food they give you for the price you’re paying is absolutely insane. I got the tortellini and the food was great but I thought they missed filling up the place I’m not sure… Also out of the 10 people in my party total, 4 of them got sick immediately after dinner violently throwing up and they could not continue their night out. Better off going to Carmine’s.

Finally I get to write a positive review. This restaurant was amazing and I wish my husband and I would have found it sooner. We came here for their happy hour while on vacation in Atlantic City. The service was prompt and professional, absolutely no issues whatsoever and the food was delicious too. I ordered mini mozzarella bites. and he had the meatball flatbread. Then we shared an antipasto side and we both got rum punches as well. We will definitely be coming back here. This restaurant defines what dining is supposed to be.

I am the executive chef at an Italian restaurant and my girlfriend and I were very excited to try this restaurant. Everything started off great, the long hots were very good, but then we got the Italian wedding soup which tasted like fish, the broth was broken, and it was riddled with hard boiled eggs…..? Then the entrees came out and I think the only seasoning in the restaurant is salt. The linguine and clams had 0 flavor besides salt, I truly felt my cholesterol going up with every bite. I have never sent food back anywhere, especially being a chef, but it was just inedible. Our server was lovely and she took it off the bill, but even the spaghetti and meatballs was just salt. The only plate we were able to finish was the long hots and everything was $50+. For these prices, I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience and would not return.

La Strada is hands-down one of the best restaurants in Atlantic City. The food is on another level—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with top-quality ingredients. Yes, the service and food can take a bit of time, but that’s only because they’re constantly overwhelmed with high volume from room service and large in-house orders. And honestly, I’d rather wait for a fresh, properly prepared meal than be rushed and served something subpar.

This isn’t a fast-food joint—it’s a high-end dining experience. The quality speaks for itself, and the kitchen doesn’t cut corners. I haven’t read a single bad review about the food itself—and for good reason. It’s 5-star caliber every time.

How this place doesn’t have at least a 4.9 is beyond me. Most of the negative reviews seem to come from people who walked into a luxury restaurant expecting fast-casual prices and speed. If you understand what true quality dining is, La Strada delivers every time.

Highly recommend.

My family of 5, including three children (9, 6 and 2) stayed at Harrah’s last week. While my two-year-old was playing in our room he found an unknown pill at the corner of the bed and placed it in his mouth. I immediately called the front desk and security came up and took a report. The housekeeping manager thought it was funny and laughed in my face (not to mention our room was only cleaned once during the sixth day stay despite requesting on two separate occasions for a cleaning and towels). I was told that a risk management supervisor would have to reach out to me to discuss this incident. I am still sick to my stomach over this!!!!!!! To date, despite reaching out to Harrah’s corporate, risk management and the hotel supervisors directly, my calls go unanswered. I do NOT recommend this filthy hotel or its incompetent staff. Avoid at all costs.

Absolutely DIVINE food! Every single tastebud on your tongue will DANCE, I promise! The food is top tier, the service is PHENOMENAL, and the atmosphere is out of this world.

Please ask for ALEJANDRA - she is absolutely amazing! She explains the menu very well, she is super hospitable, very attentive, and oh so sweet & kind.

If you’re looking for top quality food with a true, authentic taste, PLEASE, I beg you - dine here! 1000000 starts out of 10. You won’t be disappointed.

Terrifying experience — zero security and zero responsibility! We booked our stay at Harrah’s Atlantic City through Expedia, and it turned into a nightmare. At 5 AM, someone entered our room on the 32nd floor and stole all the cash and credit cards from the table. The door was closed, but not latched — and we were never warned that this could leave us exposed to theft. We immediately called security. They arrived with just a scrap of paper, asked us to “write a statement,” and told us “If you want, you can call the police.” That was it. When we asked what would happen next, they said “Corporate will call you.” No apology. No concern. No action. How did someone even get to the 32nd floor without a key card? In most modern hotels, upper floors require keycard access via elevator. Harrah’s clearly lacks basic security protocols. We’ve notified Expedia about this serious incident and urge them to reconsider listing this property. If you value your safety, do NOT stay at Harrah’s Atlantic City. Choose a hotel that actually protects its guests and takes responsibility when something goes wrong. Harrah’s completely failed us. Never again.

Booked a room with 2 queen beds in a non-smoking room 3 weeks in advance only to be told at check in (after waiting in line for 45 minutes) that it wasn’t available as they overbooked. We were charged $463 on their website only to get there and be told it was really $710. The marijuana smell was everywhere and the room we ended up with was one bed and a cot that had springs poking through. Parking was a joke and valet took 30 minutes or more to bring the car around. There was no way to call and get the process started before leaving your room because you get put on hold forever. Double charged for parking. We were there for a wrestling tournament,the fitness center was gross, the pool closed before the tournament ended each day and the staff was less than accommodating. Thousands of families were in town for the tournament and they had a skeleton crew of staff that did nothing to rectify the problems the hotel created. We would not recommend Harrah’s to anyone for any reason.

the menu gives absolutely no details about what is in each dish. very disappointing.

I don’t typically do bad reviews but considering the cost of the meals, I felt I had to. This was our second time here and I was a little disappointed. Atmosphere is nice and our server Digna was very sweet and attentive, my meal on the other hand not so good. My husband had the linguine and clam sauce, which was very good and he enjoyed. Our appetizer of fresh mozzarella was also good. I had the shrimp and scallops over risotto. As soon as the plate was put in front of me, I smelled a fishy smell, which was a little alarming. I ate the scallops and some risotto, but the shrimp did not look or smell right to me. When our server came back and asked how everything was, I said, I didn’t think the shrimp was cooked properly so I didn’t eat it. She said she would go tell the chef, not sure what that would accomplish. Then she came back and said would I like them to make me something else. At that point, my husband was done with his meal. What was the point of waiting for another meal to be cooked? I would preferred they took it off my bill, which was not offered. I’d be very hesitant to go back again considering the cost of my meal was over $65.

Literally the worst meal I’ve ever had. From the service to the stems in the tomatoes. For the price, this food was awful. I got the linguini with clams and they tasted like they were sitting out in the sun for days. Our server, Alejandra was completely clueless to everything going on. The tomatoes in the “panzanella” had stems and were inedible. When I reluctantly said something about my dinner, the manager, Xiomara, did nothing…just comped us and sent us on our way. Never going back. Don’t recommend.

Update: This generic response falls exactly in line with the terrible service at this restaurant. I will definitely not be going back.
