Just right 9th September 2007

Strada gets it right.
I have dined in numerous branches and always find it to be reliable and good value.
The Clapham branch is no exception, where friendly staff prepare wholesome food, at decent prices. I love the Pesto and Tomato bread from the starter menu, I could eat it all night, washed down with the complimentary water.

Pollo Milanese comes with a very tomato-y sauce which overpowered the other flavours, but my favourite, and probably the worst thing I could have had, was Pollo Roman - chicken wrapped with sage and prosciutto, with garlic gratinated potatoes and green beans, with a butter and white wine sauce. A little bit too much butter... but I wasn't complaining.

Strada is simply a competent, reliable choice for a good value night out.

Great wood-fired pizza 17th August 2006

Strada has a few locations around London, and I think I've been to 2 of them (Kings Road and Clapham). Both were excellent experiences. Strada is nothing fancy, but they do really excellent & simple pizzas (and garlic bread) in their wood-fired ovens. The prices are reasonable, the wine list is decent, and the ambience in the restaurants that I visited was very chilled out and mellow, I would say bordering on romantic. Dim lighting, stylish furniture, unhurried staff, and all the right finishing touches (good complimentary home-baked bread, fantastic olives, white linen table cloths, etc). I would recommend Strada as a good place to bring a date, but the perfect place to bring family visiting out of town when you want to have a relaxed time without spending a fortune.
