Absolutely a hidden gem. Great place for a cozy intimate lunch. Food was great, hot, and fresh. The staff is extremely attentive and cordial. A must to come back to.

My wife, myself and my children have been going to this resturant since we moved to Staten Island in 1984, The food has been great over the years as well as the service, My favorite dish has been the supa de pece and we wood always order the hot antipasto for 2. This has always been our go to resturant all the years we have lived on Staten Island.

La Strada is a solid Italian American restaurant. We ordered the classic appetizers.....Fried calamari, baked clams, mozzarella en carozza, & jumbo shrimp cocktail. I ordered the veal sorrento with a side Caesar salad for my main. Everything was very satisfactory. Although not an authentic Italian restaurant, it offers good food and friendly service.

We go to this restaurant every NYE. Romany the manager welcomed us when we entered and gave us the best table in the place. He remembers everything about each customer and makes you feel welcomed and at home. The ambiance is the same and very warm. I had the surf and turf and baked clams and they were delicious. My wife had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend La Strada. Congratulations for being a consistently great restaurant.

Prepare yourself for a culinary journey unlike any other! My recent dining experience at this esteemed establishment was an ode to Italian gastronomy at its finest. Nestled in an elegant setting, this eatery seamlessly combines sophistication with exceptional cuisine.The extensive wine list was a treasure trove for oenophiles. With guidance from the adept staff, I paired my Tortellini with a delightful wine that complemented the flavors impeccably. The sommelier's expertise in curating such an extensive and diverse selection of wines truly added to the overall delight of the evening.

Having dined at many many restaurants over the years, dispite a few people raving about the food, I just never had La Strada in my rotation. Now I don't feel badly. Dinner was highlighted by a truly stellar baked clam appetizer. Flavorful and balanced, the dish was truly top notch and hopes were high. Sadly, they turned out to be the far and away highlight. I'm a firm believer and it's been proven time and again, in classic Italian places like this, there are a few dishes which foretell the quality of the food. Included in those are a basic pasta dish (in this case fusilli) and lasagna. The fusilli was requested al dente and showed up literally crunch (raw). The dish was nearly inedible. And the Lasagna was so devoid of any flavor, I had to check to see if there was any substance to the ricotta and lasangna noodles at all. The entire dish was made so much worse by the requested extra tomato sauce/gravy showing up and reconfirming the absolutely flavorless dish. And while I expect to pay for a quality meal and haven't any issue with "you pay for what you get", the before tip price of about $220 for four people (2 apps/ 3 drinks/ 2 lasagna/ one pasta/ one app shrimp dish/ 2 coffees and a tiramisu (decent and not great) seems to leave "you pay for what you didn't get" top of mind. Service was excellent from the bus boy and the waiter seemed to be inconvenienced by our presence in the nearly empty early dinner time slot. Further, as we attempted to hurry to a commitment and asked for the check 3x, it took getting up and finding the waiter to finally, after additional delay, pay the bill. In the end, the baked clams are worth the trip and they saved it from being a total loss. And that's about it.

Food and service are always terrific. We were six people, and we had six different items for dinner. Everyone said their dish was delicious.
