Food was very good, eggplant appetizer and two veal dishes (piccata and marsala). Service was very good up until when we were finished and waiting for the plates to be cleared so we could order dessert and coffee.

We returned to LaStrada a second time because of the deliciously prepared food. As I mentioned in a previous post, it would have been nice if they had heated up the Italian bread when they brought it to the table instead of room temperature bread. Also I did not like the fact that the servers are all constantly trying to clear diners’ plates before everyone has finished their meals. I definitely felt rushed while I was eating my salad and the server wanted to take the plate from the person sitting next to me who had just finished their salad. Same thing happened while I was still eating my dinner. It’s not proper to clear the table when not everyone has finished that course. Other than that complaint, everything was excellent!
La Strada Italian Restaurant|BYOResponded on 29 December 2024
Hi Marsha, Thanks for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing to dine with us again at La Strada. We're glad to hear that our food continues to impress you. We appreciate your suggestion about the bread; we'll consider ways to enhance this part of our service. We also apologize if you felt rushed during your meal. We strive to provide attentive service without making our guests feel hurried, and we'll address your concerns with our team to ensure a more relaxed dining experience in the future. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, and we hope to serve you better on your next visit.

The experience overall was great with the exception that the hostess (older male) didn't seem to "find" my name on the reservation list and then when he did he seated us smack middle of the walk way when there were side tables available (which had me thinking a bit, only because I'm not the "majority" that goes there. Maybe I'm thinking about too much. MAYBE NOT 🤷‍♂️). Other than that, our waiter Austin(if I'm not mistaken) was amazing! Top of the line fella, very attentive, kind, funny and friendly. The food was soooo GOOD! We got calamari (delicious!!), my fiance got the chicken Parm(chicken was good and pasta was on point), I got the lobster ravioli (pasta could've DEF been COOKED A BIT LONGER lol. Other than that it's DELICIOUS!!!!!) Bring your BOTTLE🍷🍷

Hi Ramon, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the food, especially the calamari and chicken parmesan, and Austin's service was top-notch. We apologize for the seating issue and any discomfort it caused. It's important to us that every guest feels welcome and valued, and we'll strive to ensure your next visit is perfect from start to finish. We appreciate you dining with us and look forward to your next visit.
