Strada in Reading

Food was good quality but portions disappointingly measly for the price. I had the main pasta and a dough ball starter and tried my friends pizza as he wanted to compare.Would suggest Franco Manca across the river if you want pizza, Strada's isn't half bad but Francos is hotter, faster, tastier and a bit bigger for cheaper.Service was fast and quite friendly but you could tell the poor staff were rushed off their feet trying to tend to everyone.Personally. Would probably go to Papa Gees if you want a decent Italian in reading, about the same price as Strada or cheaper but better quality, atmosphere and bigger portions.

Went last night for dinner, and had to wait a while to be waited on although the restaurant wasnt anywhere near busy. My main which was salmon tagliatelle was tasteless, I couldnt stomach more than half of the dish and unluckily was left feeling nauseous and sick.

The customer service at strada is brilliant and you really cannot fault the wait staff, however after trying the food on a couple of different occasions i've always been left disappointed. The food simply isn't up to scratch and it's a shame seeing as a couple of years ago it was my favourite place to eat!

Thank you Roy! My experience tonight with Strada was excellent. Our waiter, Roy was super lovely and funny. Can't wait to go back soon!

Not one, but two dishes ruined. Served warm (not hot, not cold but warm- plate was warmer than the food!) steak and pizza. Steak served cut into pieces instead of the whole steak, very moist like if it was taken from the freezer and placed directly onto the pan. Price not adequate to the quality and size of the food. But very friendly staff

I usually use a voucher when I come here so the price is good in my opinion. The food was great, the chicken cassarece I ordered was excellent. The staff are really friendly and polite as well in my experience.

Food good but can often be a frustrating experience if you haven't booked, can see half the restaurant empty but be told they don't have any capacity. Tables can be a little close together if you're a 2 and feel like you're practically on a long row of tables.

It was a busy Saturday evening. Seating was fine the service was delivered by a friendly waiter. I ordered the main course of Cavatappi pollo crema. Well, what can I say. This was a bland, ill-prepared concoction of lots of spiral pasta, approximately three miniscule diced pieces of chicken which could only be seen under a magnifying glass and which fortunately I was carrying at time! Not value for money and definitely not tasty. I will not be frequenting Strada, nor would I recommend to my many friends, or even my enemies.

Place was great, service very good, the only very disappointing thing is the food. It looked appealing on the menu but it turned out to be a disappointment. Heavy food, lack of finesse, very average cooking. Insufficient for the price.

A decent experience of Italian food, though slightly more expensive than you'd expect at the price.The atmosphere and the menu is promising, with a modern feel and a good range of options, both classic and contemporary. There is also a decent selection of wines at the usual restaurant prices. Service is good, though not overwhelmingly so.The food itself is good but not great; a bit bland and despite the promising sounding dishes on the menu, it's fairly ordinary. A meat dish we ordered was simply the meat on a simple bed of mashed potato with some green beans by the side - nothing special though the meat itself was good.
