Strada - Southbank

We had dinner here prior to going to a play at the National Theatre. The service was quick but certainly not too rushed, and we had an efficient and friendly waitress. The food was good - our party of four had very different dishes and one of our party was vegetarian with a nut allergy and she was well catered for. A pleasant experience for an early evening dinner

Service was efficient (appreciated, as we didn't have a great deal of time before going on to the theatre) but the food was rather disappointing. The bruschetta I had as a starter tasted hard and a bit stale, and what topping there was lacked flavour. My main course (a bolognese) was very bland - there was no depth or richness to the sauce and I couldn't help thinking it was not as good as I would make at home (and I'm by no means a great cook). The pasta was cooked OK though.

Excellent meal and good waiter delivered fast as we were off to a concert

it was all good thank you. Noisy but that was due to time of day and lots of families like us having a quick pizza. Good pizza and friendly staff.

Excellent and hepful service. Particuarly appreciated because we were late, our table had been given away and I began getting cross with the manager. There were 6 children in our pary and they were served quickly. My risotto luganico was perfect.

Very noisy plus loud background music, fortunately we were in the side section which was quieter.

The 3 Course Christmas Menu is excellent - very tasty and great value for money. The service was superb - swift and friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent service from Nicola and the food was good also.

The food and service were fine, but the restaurant is extremely noisy and lacking in ambience. It feels very much like a production line, even though it was 5pm on a Sunday and the restaurant was half empty. We had booked a table in advance, but that seemed to be an irrelevance when we arrived.

We have eaten here before at an outside table on a sunny afternoon by the river, which I remembered as being quite pleasant, but felt rather disappointed this time, so don’t think I want to repeat the experience.

Waitress was very helpful with adapting the menu to accomodate my severe nut allergy.
