Strada

1   Disappointed

After sampling a pizza at this local chain I don't think I'll eat there again. The base of it was very hard and thin not a patch on pizza express. It felt like I was eating stale bread. The drinks were ok.

5   Relaxing environment

I love this restaurant. I've been several times, and we have always had really attentive service and great food in a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

Strada may be a chain, but this is Italian food done well (in my opinion anyway). It's not just your generic cannelloni and pizzas - it has a broad and interesting menu which always leaves me thinking "hmm, must try that one next time..."

It doesn't have the usual noisy clatter of an Italian restaurant (although I confess I usually go at quiet times). If you like it calm and relaxed, with good food and attentive service, then give it a try.
