Strada (New Burlington St)

Pizza was good. Risotto frutti di mare was the worst food I have ever seen! It was entirely liquid, approx. 5% rice, the grains could be found in the 3 mussel shells, it was 100% tasteless, looked like a soup that was left in the microwave for too long.

Upon my complaint the manager took it off the bill and explained different chefs had different methods.

Service was efficient yet as cold as ever at Strada. No smile, no warm words, it goes with the atmosphere I suppose.

STRADA; Neither the resturant or the car of the same name are any good.

Taking advantage of the recent 'get one main meal' advert in the free newspapers to give it a go we have never been so disapointed in our entire life. We waited for over an hour for our food... to come. They even forgot our starter! then apparently they 'burnt' the pizza. HOW DO YOU BURN PIZZA??

When the food came, it was so bland and tasteless it was unreal .

totally poor dining experience. will never go back.

Well, I regularly visit this particular branch as well as the Blackheath branch and have never been dissappointed. The pizzas, as most agree, are simply the best around and I have been converted from pizza express. As for the rest of the offer, bottled water at the table, replaced as soon as it is emptied is a fantastic service. I use to share the gamberoni starter with my boyfriend, but cant bear to anymore as its so delicious and don't even get me started on the desserts! I frequent many London restaurants paying from £10 per head up to £100 per head but I always find Strada reliable, well-priced and a great place to eat with groups of friends.

Arrived there, sat dawn and 5 seconds later were asked if we had decided what we want to drink. The starter arrived 4 minutes later and the main course arrived when we were not even through half of our starters.

In order to turn over as much money as possible in the shortest possible time we were asked if we want another glass of wine when we had drunk not even a quarter of our glasses of wine.

Not a very nice dinner experiance.

Pizza is excellent, everything else on the menu is very average. The quality of service varies from branch to branch and indeed from person to person within any of the restaurants. In this particular branch some of the waiting staff have a very off-putting and unhygienic habit of, when cleaning just-vacated tables, instead of just wiping them down, spraying cleaning fluids in a careless fashion right next to occupied tables where other customers are eating. To have a pizza 'decorated' in this way does not enhance the taste. The tables in Strada restaurants are very close together and this is completely unacceptable and is quite possibly a health and safety issue.
