“This restaurant is a local hidden gem (and I selfishly hope it stays that way) An absolute must try. The food/cocktails and the vibes are unmatched. Service is always impeccable! From the playlist to the atmosphere to the culinary experience, 10/10 would recommend. Their menu changes seasonally which I love, everything is home made fresh. A must get: Whipped ricotta with aged prosciutto (melts in your mouth) Any of the pizzas Multilayered eggplant parm is insane”
“Food was amazing absolutely must try eggplant parm, pizza was incredible even our picky eater loved. Drinks were very refreshing and perfectly balanced. Desserts ❤️❤️❤️”
“My wife and I went to Strada for a date night. The service was great and the food was delicious. We shared the meatballs, pizza and the bolognese. Everything was so good and the best bolognese I had in my life. I say if you want delicious food this is the place to try! Definitely we will come again. (My wife and I went to Italy. The vibe of Strada and delicious food + wine reminds us of Italy)”
“Oh my what an evening! Me and the boys had a fabulous dining experience at Strada last night. Starting with the mortadella spiedini followed by an out this of world Caesar salad , ending with 3 extraordinary pizzas and a mafaldine w the perfect touch of lemon zest. All the cocktails were perfect curated and I especially respected the mixologist’s push back on my request to replace mezcal with tequila in one of their signature drinks , as to not ruin the integrity. Spoiler - he was right. Strada knocked it out of the park and my only thought afterwards was “why I have not dined here sooner?” A+++ thank you Gina for accommodating and thanks to the entire staff at STRADA for an incredible evening.”
“Really great food and atmosphere at this spot. Feels like a family, where the owner knows a ton of the customers and focuses on service and ambiance. Drinks were great. Bread with the ricotta was awesome and was cooked with some garlic and rosemary. Even sleeper pick items were good, like the trout dip. The Caesar salad was celery based, so maximum crunch. I thought it was interesting. The pizzas were excellent, wood fired. We also got a spinach ricotta, but felt a bit dry. On the service side, seemed they were backed up for a bit, but overall we didn't have any issues. Eggplant parm was really dense and multi layered. We enjoyed. Dessert was excellent.”
