Yummy Italian food
I love Strada's pizza fiorentina, and so can't knock this place. It is located in the lively Brunswick Centre, and has a nice outside seating area. The food is good, you know what you're getting at Strada. They bring bottles of water to the table automatically, so you never have to ask for it. The staff are friendly too, which is always a bonus.
One thing that I don't like is when a service charge is automatically added to the bill, and I'm afraid this chain of Italian restaurants adds 12.5%. I do leave a tip, but just dislike being told how much I should be leaving irrelevant of how the service was. However, it is a discretionary charge, so don't feel obliged to pay it if your service is poor. Thankfully that has never been the case when I've visited.
