Reviews for La Strada in San Pablo, CA
The food is delicious! Service is great. Our waiter took extra care with the needs of three members of our party who have... problems with gluten. The restaurant is classic Italian with a very cozy ambience. You can actually visit and carry on aconversation! Many restaurants are so noisy! Not La Strada. We had a group of seven for a birthday lunch for one of our bookclub members. Everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. We had a leisurely meal and lingered over desserts & coffees. Mychicken picata was wonderful. So relaxing! Read more

La Strada is one of the last traditional and authentic Italian restaurants in the Bay Area, as so many closed down during the... COVID-19 pandemic/lockdowns. They offer an elegant, inviting, and comfortable atmosphere that compliments their menu quitenicely. Their dining room is quite spacious and I believe they also have an outdoor patio. They feature a wide variety ofItalian and American classics, including paninis, pizza, burgers, chicken parmesan, and lasagna. While I enjoyed the pizza diCarne on my last visit, I think the chicken parmesan will be my go-to order here. I will also make sure to order the key limepie here too. Their garlic bread side is an amazing and affordable option as well! Their prices are surprisingly reasonable andthey are a perfect place for a special occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary, or pre-holiday festivities. I prefer them toMacaroni Grill, which is a decent option in El Cerrito as well. Read more
Our favorite resteraunt in San Pablo. The service is great and the food is fantastic. Our favorite server is Mr. Mark. My... favorite dish is anything that comes with their creamy, buttery polenta and their bread pudding is to die for. Read more
We picked La Strada after reading many great reviews on Yelp and we were not disappointed. The service was prompt and attentive,... the food prepared well and delicious exactly the way we requested it, and the prices were reasonable considering the servicelevel and food quality. I highly recommend the sampler plate as an appetizer, the scampi (I had shrimp) with polenta, and thelemon gelato dessert who's wonderful Italian name I've already forgotten!! But which came with a wonderful puddle of strawberryglaze to drag the gelato through that gave it a delicious strawberry lemonade-type flavor. Yummy!! We'll be back!! Read more
Update as of 01/30/22 Still a current fave in our rotation of most frequented restaurants. This is a place that goes above and... beyond in quality of food and service. Very much love that they require proof of vaccination. My fave is their eggplantparmigiana. We?ve tried almost every item of their menu and it?s never a disappointment. Another fabulous place that wefrequented for over 15 years. Currently they offer dine in and outdoor dining and their bar is open. Same great food &service. Never a disappointment in their food. Always consistent which brings a homey feel. Love their bread with the olive oil& balsamic. I typically go for their specials or get the linguini con gamberetti. I also recommend the ravioli, calamari,lasagna, actually everything really. Dessert their tiramisu and creme brulee are our faves. Been here for celebrations with aparty +40 during pre-covid times. In preparation they provide you a menu which they produce a personal menu for the guests. Read more
