We have come to La Strada many times... This time was by far the worst experience we have ever had. Sadly, the server was a bit overwhelmed I think. He came over to us and then let us sit for about 15 mins before he came back. Glad it is BYOB or else we probably would have been waiting for drinks also. After he finally took our order, which we knew by the sounds of other tables comments, it prob would come out wrong, we finally got our soup and salad and then another waitress that works there came over with the pork chop special to give us... Um, no that is not by any chance close to what we ordered. She walks away. Our server never came over to tell us what happened. About 20 mins or so later, we received our order.... BUT LO and BEHOLD, my husband's dinner which was Pollo Gamberi was missing ALL of the shrimp. This is a staple of this dish. I am really not sure what happened. But he comped our soup, gave us 2 pieces of dessert to take home, even though we said no and I also heard the ppl next to us never got their app. And he comped that. The owner is sadly gonna keep losing money if the server doesn't step up his game. From now on, when we go in , we will ask for the servers we have had and we recognize.

Greeting host couldn't have been more dis interested in our arrival. Barely a spoken word! Led us to our table and pointed without a word. Waitress was in a rush from the start as we waited for our other party. She told us they didn't have clean wine glasses at 6:30 and acted as if we were a problem asking for them. After completing my salad ( it was rushed on to the table before I finished my appetizer) she removed the dirty knife and placed it on the clean table cloth. Overall from the greeter to the waitress to the bus person we were left to felt we were an inconvenience. Far from the fine cuisine experience we had hoped for. Average food. Average price.

I have been dining at LaStrada for many years! It is always my choice when my palate is in the mood for Italian. Their food and service are consistent with being nothing short of superior! The ambience gives quaint and intimate yet beautifully aesthetic. The noise level is minimal which sets the platform for conversation with your guests! Financially this place make sense! BYOB!!!!!!!

We both had Chicken Marsala that was excellent, tender and very flavorful. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was quiet, very conducive to conversation.

Had dinner at La Strada last night with friends. Other than the great company with our friends the evening from start to finish was terrible. We arrived on time for our 7:00 reservation which is an average time for dinner on a Saturday night. The man sitting at the door to take your name was unpleasant when we walked in. He didn’t greet us just asked if we were my husband’s name and pointed us towards where our friends were already seated. To start, our waitress seemed like she couldn’t wait for her night to end. She told us the specials and spoke so poorly we could barely understand her. Two of our group wanted the steak special. She came back to our table to tell us they were already out of the steak special. Our two individuals had to take time to look at the menu while she stood there waiting for a fast decision. It went further downhill after that. Our food, except for one of us was sub par. The staff was clearing off our plates while still trying to eat and have conversations. Asked for ice in a glass and had to ask several times before received. Some still eating and plates being cleared off. Finished dinner and given dessert options. One person ordered dessert and while she was still eating a staff member clears more dishes off right in front of the person eating. We were leisurely talking and the maitre’d is sitting in his chair staring at the guests who were still enjoying their evening. No smiles just a miserable man. He then comes into the middle of the room and announces they are closing and it’s time to leave. He didn’t say thank you for coming but we will be closing in (however many minutes) and instead basically kicked us out. If the staff needed to get home then maybe they shouldn’t be working the dinner shift. They were all in a rush to serve the food, clear the table and get us out. I’ve never been told to leave a restaurant because they were closing. We will NEVER be patronizing this restaurant again. If you want fast food go to Chick-fil-A! If you want to enjoy a relaxing good Italian meal DO NOT GO HERE!

Seriously one of the best meals my wife and I have had in a long time. Stuffed mushrooms were amazing! Porterhouse Steak, amazing! Wife got some chicken dish that had roasted red peppers and cheese in Rosa sauce and it was delicious! Our waiter was perfect, the staff were perfect. I would not change a thing about this place. Will definitely be back!!

We went La Strada last evening. It was 4 people in our party. Our waitress had no personality whatsoever. I believe 3 of us wanted the porterhouse steak. When the waitress came back she said that there was no more available. From there our evening went spiraling down hill. The food was just okay. Staff in the restaurant were cleaning off our table before we were done eating. So rude!!!. One of us ordered dessert and we were talking and some individual came over to us and said they are closing. Seriously?? We just spent a lot of money in your restaurant and they were kicking us out.We will never go back. The maître d was rude.

Megan is a great waitress. She knows what we like and she is always attentive to our needs.

My husband and I had an enjoyable dinner. My husband had salmon and I eggplant. Both were delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly. La Strada is where we generally go when we want to celebrate an occasion.

Lois

Excellent service in a pleasant atmosphere. Nice menu choices & specials, complimentary bread & dipping oil and prompt service.

Food, service and atmosphere were all enjoyable. The pasta special and lemon marscapone cake were both delicious!

Six of us had dinner and we all enjoyed our meals. Four of us had one of the specials which consisted of crab and lobster ravioli with grilled shrimp. Delicious! Veal parm and a fish dish rounded out our meals. Nice portions and service was great. We have eaten here multiple times and intend to head back.
