Reviews of Strada Southbank
J. O.
It was my second time visiting this restaurant. It was great the first time but was even better the second time. The service was fast and friendly, the food was hot, fresh and full of flavour and the overall dining experience was fantastic. Its a modern, cosy and affordable Italian restaurant sat right by the riverside, a really lovely location. Only negative from me is they added on service charge, but it wasn't too much so I wasn't too fussed. Overall a brilliant restaurant and one that I would highly recommend.
M. A.
Nice food, friendly and efficient staff.
The truffle fries are really nice and the sticky toffee pudding is a must
The burger bun was a little dry, but I'm not fond of toasted buns, so it may have been just my prference. The rest of the Strada burger was really good, as was my wife's Chicken Pasta Milanese
A shade over £60. For the two of us, including drinks.

We found this wonderful place in the Royal Festival Hall, just by the river walking with my friend last week. Had a yummy light lunch 🥗 🍕 and I decided to take my kids here too. So much I loved it 😊 Only a five minute walk from Waterloo Station and I am back! Kids enjoyed kids menu too. All fresh, good sized portions, reasonable prices, nice location by the river, sun ☀️ and people strolling 🚶♀️ by. Here You definitely will enjoy both with friends and family, with children and by Your own. Special thanks to the stuff: Jack and young lady who found pen 🖊 to my boys enjoying activity sheets 💡
C. L.
We had two delicious lunchtime meals. Both Italian, one Seafood Pasta and one Chicken and mushroom pasta. Great service and chilled atmosphere inside. We had two glasses of wine, expensive. Food average price considering the location. I'll definitely recommend Strada Southbank
J.
Three starts is more for the food as everything else was good. I had the chicken milanese, the chicken was good, hot and tasty but the linguine was cold and very overcooked, gummy and limp. The tomato sauce wasn't that great either was to sweet and needed a bit more seasoning to give a better flavour. The steak ordered for my partner was really good and tasty.
Our waitress was lovely, looked after us although she was really busy. I liked the fact that other colleagues were trying to help her by bringing us the drinks and food while she was running around trying to serve all her tables. I do appreciate a good team work. Many years ago I was a waitress so I know how is like. Well done to her and the colleagues that helped her. Just a little thing to improve, when bringing staff to the table instead of just saying the name of the drink or the food, at least say a hello, good evening or something like that if haven't approach our table before. That will be much nicer then just getting there and say "chicken milanese and steak"
Overall, apart from the linguine, was a good experience. 👍
C. I.
Very pleasant indeed. Sat outside initially enjoying the scene then inside when the breeze picked up. Friendly easy going staff and nice food. Reasonable price for anywhere let alone riverside in Central London.
P. B.
The restaurant was very tightly packed with people with a lot of tables that had not been cleared after people had left. We were shown a table through the back of the restaurant which didn't feel very festive. The service was good. We ordered our food which came out very quick, a bit too quick. It made us feel rushed. pizza was good, the sharing platter was small and would not really feed two adults, it was only just enough to feed one adult and one child. I had the beef burger which came out with only a small amount of fries and nothing else, for £14 it was disappointing. The price of a pint of larger was almost £10. We were only there around 40 minutes as the food came out very quick. When we got the bill there was a 12.5% service charge which was an extra £9 on the bill. I thought that for only being there for 40 minutes this was not good. They did take it off after I questioned it. I think that the emphasis was on getting as many people in and out as quick as possible. No great.
I received a reply from Strada asking to discuss my review but have not yet been contacted. Clearly their reply was only offered so people reading their response will think they care about reviews. Clearly not.
After receiving an apology in the way of a discount on my next visit i explained that we only visited London as a one off as we live a long way away and have no plans to visit again, the manager has not replied so i'm not sure that customer satisfaction is on the top of there list. Very disappointed.
P. V.
Steak came well done when ordered medium rare/closer to rare preferably, luckily they changed it pretty fast, and the panna cotta, omg, so light and niceee🥰
M. A.
A very nice Italian restaurant with a basic but delicious menu 😋 we enjoyed our lunch. The staff was really friendly and welcomed us. You can find a table without reservation if you are lucky for lunch. The desserts 🍨 qre also good and the prices 👌 definetely we will come back 🍕
S. R.
Liliana served us on Sunday night, just before the Euro final. She was incredible. Her personality and French nationality were sublime, her service and recommendations spot on. The food was a highlight and much better than previous Strada experiences, at the same restaurant, from last year. Well done, overall just very very good!
L. J.
Some of the nicest Italian food I've ever had!!
H. R.
Could not fault amazing meal
Friendly staff and very accomidating.
Deffinatly recommended and can't wait to come back.
R. W.
I had such a lovely lunch here on Saturday. I loved the location and even though we were sat outside it felt warm and cosy. There was a great choice of food and drinks. The carbonara pasta was delicious and I loved the locally made cider. The service was of a high standard too with meals delivered quickly, considering how busy it was and with a smile. I will definitely be returning when I am next in London. Thank you for a lovely lunch.
J. R.
Have had the most wonderful authentic Italian meal here today. Everyone was friendly warm and welcoming. The food has been fantastic and top notch, I love nothing more than an authentic Italian restaurant and this is exactly what we got. Not too expensive, fantastic service and right by the trains which has kept my autistic boy happy the whole time. 😀
S. T. G.
I know pubs in London that do better pizza, The dough wasn't good, it was to oily, and cheese taste and texture could of been a tasteless cheap cheddar it would of been okay for a cheap pizza from the supermarket but definitely not what I go out for. The staff were nice, and working super hard.
N. W.
Had a wonderful long and relaxing lunch with mother and mother in law. We were served by Lillianna who was extra specially attentive. Lillianna was fun, friendly and an all round superb host, never allowing the glasses to run even half dry. A lengthy break between courses was welcome and the overall relaxed environment was fantastic. Thank Lillianna (and all at Strada) for a lovely afternoon 😀
D. S.
Good ambience. Lovely and supportive staff. Great food. Portion size could have been better given the price but overall a very nice place to visit for eating and enjoying in the evening
G. M.
Very good service, not impressed with carbonara, but that's probably because I'm Italian. Wine tasted cheap. Overall nice chatty atmosphere, clean place and fast service.
D.
Lovely staff, food and cocktails!! Thank you all. A lovely surprise was the covering and heaters for our meal. The staff were always smiling, found us a great seat even through we were very early for our meal. It was raining when we went but that made the already cosy seating (and brilliant coffee) even cosier.
A.
We had a small waiting time, but otherwise the food was really delicious. The staff is friendly, the location perfect and the drinks are addicting:) all for a good price - I highly recommend Strada :)
A. D.
Have not eaten at Strada for 10 yrs as away in USA but wanted to eat outside on the river. Good food. Helpful waiter. Patio heaters outside. Would recommend.
d. c.
Brilliant place, great vibes, lovely staff and cracking food! I really enjoyed the whole experience!
The only let down was the "optional" 12.5% service fee which was automatically added to the bill. I would've tipped at least 10% of the bill as per standard, but I felt the option was taken out hands and I didn't appreciate it.
Other than that though, I would recommend Strada heavily as the experience and food were exquisite
E. A. B.
We had a lovely Sunday lunch at Strada. I'm not sure what to highlight as everything was perfect. The service was quick, food was really tasty and there was a nice atmosphere - even it was full and was busy , no one seemed stressed, drinks and food arrived quickly and they looked after us well. 😊
M. “. K.
Long wait for stuff to be served, food make in the rush..probably already made kids pasta dry.. stirlon ok ..but cheap aperol 2 for 1
K. F.
Place is nice, shame the staff don't have an etiquette when they communicate. For example I didn't ask for my bill they just gave me it when they felt like it. Or when we entered the front line waitress/manager showed no hospitality at all, was just 'reservation please' then move along lol just so robotic. I get it, it's london so etiquette is out of the window (unless you wanna pay for it). Anyway food was decent, price for the food a little expensive, a salad for £15? So value for money is not too high either. They're obviously trying to recoup the money during the past few years but upping must of the prices by £1-£2 at least.
J. P.
Excellent food and good service. We weren't rushed and had a table even though we hadn't booked.
H. N.
Nicest food I've ever had. Bolognese was extremely tasty for something usually plain. Very well priced.
S. M.
Very straightforward and simple menu, no complaints at all. I got the squid and seafood linguine, service was great and efficient for a Friday night. Great spot if you’re going to the National Theatre!
C. M.
Food was amazing and our waitress Liliana was really helpful and super bubbly and friendly, made our experience really enjoyable!
F. L.
Good for kids with tables that are not too packed together and quick and efficient service. Serves standard Italian fare that was tasty but perhaps not outstanding.
J. J.
Really good food, 4 of us ate and we all enjoyed our food. Price is good for London, average for a chain. Veggie options ok. Some staff attentive, some not so much
N. R.
Fantastic value for money situated with a viewer of the Thames. Nicely lit up to read menu at night with patio heaters to keep you warm. Loved the food too!
B. G.
Loved it, after a lovely stroll through the southbank Christmas market atmosphere and getting hungry,we headed for the Strada, the service was excellent, staff were brilliant and the food was lovely,
It was very busy but the staff made you feel you were the only people in there, well worth a visit, well done guys.
L. S.
Every vegan-curious, wavering on gluten-free, vino extrordinaire’s dream. GF pasta was so smothered in garlic, buttery, goodness there was no moment of soul searching as to wonder why you’d order pasta sans gluten. Impeccably realistic waitress made us confident in the absolutely generic white wine we ordered and had us also questioning why we weren’t ordering dessert drinks on a Monday. Please bring your high dietary maintenance friends here.
P. R. (.
Good food, good service. Had a lovely lunch sitting at an outside table. Weather was roasting so we both had salads, which were tasty and fresh. Generous portions. The staff are great, friendly and efficient.
W. S.
We ate here whilst on holiday, Food was quick to arrive at our table and was excellent, 2 pizzas and an Antipasti, and 2 for 1 on Aperol spritz. A young man called Jack served us who was very pleasant and knowledgeable, very good service and a good price, would recommend and would eat here again.
S. K.
Beautiful Cozy Riverside restaurant. Great cuisines.. Mostly italian. Little expensive but ok since ambience and location is perfect for a date.
S. K.
Very very good food. To be honest, I wasn't expecting such great food but they have done it. Must try the pizza 🍕😋
A. s.
I like the area, the food, the prices and the staff very friendly. The manager was very very king and helpful. We stayed one weekend at night. Thanks guys

Very good service, nice staff and fantastic food. Most important, the do the best panna cotta I've ever had in an Italian restaurant
A. S.
I mean it is OK just because you are by south bank of the river thames. Lovely walk. As I am italian the food and the pizza mmmm I don't want to say much. The surprise was that the kids can eat for a £1.00.
d. y.
The staff were friendly and helpful
They went out of their way to help with my choice of dinner especially being a coeliac, such a good choice to eat
J. B.
The service was fantastic and Julian was amazing and very hospitable!!! Food was awesome too!!
F. E.
I like strada it is okay priced and the staff are nice and the food is actually really nice and the 2 for 1 aperol deal is really good too
S. L.
Right next to the river, the atmosphere is lovely to spend a night out with a small or even larger group. My cousin and I ordered a couple of antipasti and one main each, and Federica was very attentive and ready to check on us and how our time at La strada was. Despite being busy both service and food were great. The location is lovely too to have a nice walk post-dinner.

Steak was beautiful 😍 service was delightful 😋
h.
A good dinning experience, food was tasty. Carbonara was tasty a little dryer than I expected but GOOD. Outside seating is really nice on hot days! The staff were okay but very rushing.
L. C.
Good food, large portions and good quality, fast service :)
D. M.
Relaxed feel dining with four adults and three small children, including one very tired one who fell asleep. Staff were great and we weren't rushed.
C. G.
it was my partner's birthday and all the staff at Strada made the evening really lovely and special for us. the food was great, everything was quick and prompt but tasted brilliant. I asked if they could bring a cake out for dessert and all the staff came out together to sing Happy Birthday and it was a lovely touch. Alex our waiter was friendly and always made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend and will be coming back here again in the future.
M. H.
A family group of 5 had lunch here on a Sunday in early August and it was delightful. Service was great, pizza wonderful and atmosphere perfect, all within stones throw of the Thames. Sadly no “view” to speak of, but that’s not enough to mark it down. A thumbs up from me!
l.
This restaurant was beautiful inside and the food was delicious! I had the carbonara and it tasted out of this world. However at 5.30 the restaurant was already fairly busy so I would definetely reccomend booking beforehand if you are going on a Friday or Saturday. The indoor decor here was very fancy and nice and the staff were very quick and efficient.

Was heaving and yet the waitress was super and kept service going. Sat outside and good atmosphere. Food was mixed. I was happy enough with my calamari and burger but my companion's bruschetta was odd and his milanese not great. Overall, though was a decent busy chain restaurant experience.
C. R.
The restaurant was lovely and Lilliana was a very lovely and helpful watress. You should visit asap

My boyfriend and I were on the Goldon Eye on Sunday and we were looking for a restaurant nearby. It took us 5 minutes to walk there, also for our food-demanding bellies, it was perfect. The restaurant is elegant but cozy at the same time. We were served by a very nice lady from Italy, we say hello. Smiling, open and helpful. We ordered mozzarella flatbread, which was not only flavorful, but delicious. We also ordered vegetable antipasti(mozzarella not to be underestimated) and carbonara. All delicious. Thank you to the cooks and staff for a pleasant experience.
X. D.
Beautiful location with indoor and outdoor seating. Very fast service and easily adaptable to food dietary needs.

Liliana was amazing! Very attentive, helpful and friendly. Great food too, highly recommended! :-)

Pizza portions were great but my friends got shortchanged with the pasta portions. When we complained to the manager, he was really understanding and brought each of my friends an extra pasta portion. Wonderful service, great tasting food, lovely vibes - strongly recommend
K. F.
It was very crowded, staff were good with the turnover though. Saltimboca I had was good. The rest of my party the food was average. My son loved the hazelnut pizetta (dough with Nutella).
R. C.
We had dinner twice during our 4 day stay in London. Nice atmosphere, service was smooth and fast even though the restaurant was fully packed .We ordered Pizza and Pasta. Food was very tasty and a very good restaurant to have food when visiting the South Bank.
M. W.
Nice atmosphere and good service. Food wasn’t anything special and the menu was limited. No on tap beer either which I found strange. Overall pleasant but not exceptional.
D. W.
Very busy and a bit noisy, but the food and service are good and not too pricy for the location 👍
P. T.
Pre theatre dinner. Which was delicious! Only concern was the staff not wearing masks and those that did had them under their noses.
K. R.
Good food, busy place so need to book. Children's menu available as well
B. P.
So good. It’s a shame there are less stradas than there used to be - food is consistently knock out for a chain. Highly recommended.
N. J.
Had such a wonderful time! Noemi, the waitress, was especially lovely and so helpful throughout the night. It was my friend’s birthday and the staff were happy to bring out cake and sing happy birthday!! The food was great and I definitely recommend booking here
C. J.
Good, friendly service, lovely food.
E. B.
Just had an amazing evening at this beautiful place.
Three of us we enjoyed so much and we are more than happy with the taste and options that we had been offered.
Gluten free options as well as homemade limoncello liquor.
Thank you Lili and Federica for your warm welcome and amazing service.
See you soon 🙏
E. L.
Really enjoyed my lunch here on a Saturday.
Friendly, helpful and plain easy. Garlic bread starters are crowd pleasers for the kids!
M. B.
Wow! What a lovely place for the Mrs, you and also the kids!!!!
Food superb, atmosphere vibing, service great and location spot on.
Very, very impressed on the quality of food at actually a reasonable price...
I thank you! 😊
B. H.
The restaurant was very busy and all tables were being used and full. Seemed strange during Covid times. Masks were being worn by the waiting staff, and by the public until arriving at the table. Like old times.
Food was excellent and the service was extremely efficient. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
M. B.
Service good, nice atmosphere, not too loud. Caesar salad was not fantastic; bacon was not cooked fresh, no cheese, croutons were a bit bland. Definitely not the best Caesar salad I’ve had. Gfs potatoes tasted good though.
N. K.
Great location and can dine inside or outside. Delicious food and great choices of drinks
s.
Just spoken to a lovely member of staff, Pasar, who was so polite and helpful with my enquiry about having my lunch outside on the terrace under a parasol. What a great start to our booking for 6 people on 26th August at 1pm. Thank you STRADA SOUTHBANK!
L. H.
Wonderful works meal, friendly and polite staff. Great food!

Staff very friendly, food is nice, place is calm and relaxing. Recommend a lot! 👌

Good service, very polite and attentive staff. Good Pizza and a very nice Burger
P. H.
Great food and lovely service. Really nice atmosphere in the restaurant and very decent prices for Southbank and close to the river. Recommended.
P. K.
Enough choice, but not too much choice, quick service. Burgers were OK, no better...
I. A.
So I'm giving this 3 stars for 2 reasons... the food taste was average, the food options were minimal, and there was no social distancing between tables... ok make that 3 reasons. The service was great, the waiter was fast but I was concerned that the tables were so close to each other. We were sitting outside but that's not the point, some distance would have been appreciated especially because it was ridiculously packed/busy. I went to a nandos the next day and there was social distancing there so doesn't make sense that there wasn't here.
J. C.
Service very good especially being that they were so busy. Menu a wee bit limited, but made up with quality of the Food served. Dropped a star as only 1 of 2 ladies toilets was operational and area was messy.
K.
Friendly staff and quick service
N. C.
Excellent restaurant, good service, food Italian fantastic!
Y. P.
I was surprised to see a Strada restaurant, as I thought they had gone out of business. Pleasant location, tasty food and attentive service.
M. R.
I had a reservation under my name with my friend at 21:15 this Saturday, although we came slightly early and the staff were regardless very friendly to let us come in. The customer service was IMPECCABLE, truly, and deserve to be said - from the moment we were welcomed to the last goodbye. I would want to say at huge thank you to our waitress Noemi, I even asked for a sort of penne arriabata and the chefs did an excellent job of executing that, I even did a slight mistake, truly my fault didn’t see that the penne were VG vegetarian and had cheese and not VG for vegan and Noemi was very understanding and just super nice and arranged for another meal for me without the mozzarella. A nice waiter called Stephan even gave me vegan mozzarella which was very nice I did not expect that !
Thank you to Noemi and the rest of the staff including the chefs for this night! Will for sure be coming back!!
安.
Really valuable to come here!
Delicious food, good service!
I would like to come here next time
V. C.

Great place to eat, lovely food friendly staff. Certainly would go back.

Great food and drink at reasonable prices. Nice to be able to sit outside and dine. I did have a dog and staff was super friendly to assist to my dog with a bowl of water. We had a friendly chat with the staff. Service was excellent. Thank you for Alex, Liliana and Marco that made our dinner super cosy. Definitely I will be back there and highly recommended to visit :)
S. E.
Liliana was super amazing she was our waitress! Amazing service! Happy faces all around! Very helpful ! Nice food! The manager Cristina welcomed us at the door With a warm welcome! Such an amazing place! Really good food! I highly recommend!

J. S.
Friendly staff, quick service and good kids menu.
E. H.
I have been approached by a energetic simpatic lady. So energetic that she told us to sanitise while she is preparing the table for us then came back she put us to sanitise again. She offered us a seat on the terrace, Niko was our server. We had a lovely meal he was attentive with us. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. The initial hostess turn out to be the manager , she offered us Limoncello. Lovely time.
E. M.
Slow service. Food pretty good but hardly any vegan options.
M. S.
Delicious food. Thank you to Noemi. who made the best suggestions for our lunch . 😋🍝

Great food for a fair price. Lovely staff and nice environment. Located in Southbank, walking distance from Waterloo station.
D. G.
We had a fabulous time, lunch was tremendous and our waitress was the best!!
C. J.
Good option at the moment for outdoor seating, great location at night with buildings all lit up. Had heaters to keep you warm and a large umbrella to keep you dry. Could get busy quick though so book ahead. Food was good, had the burger and my partner the Carbonara.
It was a very good option for someone with Coeliacs who needs gluten free.
M. M.
High recomandation, very delicious food,staff very professional .. high recomandation !

Had a great meal, I had the margarita with anchovies and capers pizza. Staff friendly and relaxed about how long we took.
B. R.
Tasty food, pleasant staff, and amazing location!

My family and I visited last minute, hoping to get some quick food before a show. The service was very quick, if perfunctory, but we got the food we wanted with plenty of time to make the show we were going to see. I ate the mushroom risotto, which was delicious, and very filling. Other dishes we enjoyed were the seafood linguine and the carbonara. All were made to a high standard. Served in very large dishes, the portions appeared rather small at first, but there was much more food than we expected.
The prices are reasonable for the food you get, but it is not a place to visit on a budget.
s. g.
If you enjoy a really decent meal then head here. Food was absolutely top notch. The pizza I had was the best I've had for a long while. My partners meal was amazing as well, I had a sneaky little taste. Prices were reasonable for London. Staff were friendly and helpful. Service was efficient. Will be one of our regular restaurants now
D. C.
Wonderful beer and wonderful food,I want to swallow the plate and glass cup!
M. G.
Good location on the south bank with standard Strada Italian menu of pasta, pizza and salad. Plenty of space indoor and outdoors. Good service and friendly staff.
S. S.
I just want to preface this by saying I was a bit of a nightmare of a customer. I felt the carbonara pasta was undercooked (and I am used to the normal spaghetti noodle type whereas this was thicker) and while I normally don't do this my boyfriend asked for the pasta to be switched to linguini. I got the replacement fairly quick but there must have been a misunderstanding and I got the standard seafood linguini. I really can't do seafood and I tried my best to eat it, unfortunately I had to leave it and we just ordered dessert. The manager (I'm not sure of her name) came to talk to us and was so kind. I really hate to make a fuss and I wish I had just eaten my first meal (my boyfriends pizza was amazing by the way I sneaked a bite). She told me not to be sorry and that they would replace it again with anything on the menu, even dessert. I felt awful and said it's perfectly fine but she didn't want me to leave hungry. I honestly think this is the best hospitality I've ever had. The manager then didn't charge us for any of the mains I had and said the dessert would be free. We were still charged on the bill (but not for any of my mains). I'm honestly very happy about that and wouldn't insist on a free dessert.
All in all I know I was a difficult customer and they handled me gracefully and never let me feel bad. They seemed to just want me to have a great time.
Would highly recommend and would come again, I just might stick to dessert for my personal taste. The pana cotta and tiramisu are glorious by the way!
n.
Had a wonderful time at Strada! It was my birthday and manager William and worker Liliana treated me so well! Was a lovely experience and would love to visit again soon :)
D. S.
Extremely welcome staff and service!
A. A.
Great restaurant, very busy , went there for coffee , I loved the latte and the lemon cheesecake was so good.
M. P.
Very quick service, even it was extremely busy
A. m.
We had 3 starter and one main to share, all was good the distance between the tables a bit disappointing, but hand sanitizer mandatory (provided upon arrival). Food wise the seafood pasta was missing a bit of taste, maybe a splash of seafood broth forgotten in the execution, and the calamari too salty. Service fast and accurate, drinks came with almost 5 minutes different from each other.
n. b.
Good well cooked Burger with relish and salad along with French fries. For London the bill was reasonable

It's quite nice but not a good choice for vegans.

Very nice margarita pizza for under 10 pounds. The service and manager are lovely too. Restaurant was pretty much full, just shows its good. We came as a group of 7 without a reservation and they ensured they found room for us. Thank you
A. W.
Wonderful evening, food was delicious, 2for 1 aperol spritz was a nice surprise, Nico was very attentive and made good recommendations nothing seem too much trouble for him despite the place being very busy. We will be back
B. L.
Good for cooked pizza. Nice kids menu - drink, starter, pizza, and dessert for £6.75. although, service was lacking, we didn't seem to have a set waiter and had to ask random different ones for the bill/to pay/dessert. It took about 20 minutes to get and pay the bill. Also I can't recommend the buffalo mozzarella pizza over the margarita, the buffalo cheese was almost non existent
L. S.
Use your Southbank members card for 20% off the bill. Lovely staff. Good food.

Fabulous service, lovely three courses, fab location!

today I went to lunch in Strada with my family. we were sitting in the quite area with the big sofas, really good atmosphere, the food was not bad at all and the waiter gave us a very good service.
the only thing I didn't like it was that my wife asked if it was possible to have a seafood risotto, but the waiter replied that it was not possible because it was not in the special of the day. in the menu there is seafood with pasta, I don't see the problem to do with risotto. apart from this we spent a nice afternoon.
M. &. M. C. G.
Gorgeous food, quick service. Ideal
C. N.
Really good pasta with matchinf sauce ! not a lot, but enough to have a nice dinner/lunch :)
A. A.
Nice staffs, amazing view and the pizzas are delicious 😍 I had a amazing time with my friend there.
S. C.
Nice simple restaurant not extraordinary.
N. G.
We had an INCREDIBLE waitor called Roberto who I think may have been the manager. I would recommend this place literally just for him alone!! We had lunch with our two small children (ages 4 and 2), and the waiters took out time to speak to them, got the food to us super quick, and were kind, and patient and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you, Roberto!!
H. S.
Came here for dinner with friends, we sat outside, was a lovely atmosphere, food was lovely, would definitely recommend
M. V.
Actually really good. While I am not a big pizza fan there were alternatives and I was pleasantly surprised that I was asked how I want my steak cooked... Raw.... But there was even a choice of Blue! Don't hear that often (in the UK that is).
The proof is of course how it arrives... And I can tell you it arrived just as requested raw. Impressed!
My table friends meal were also very good (chicken and two pizzas) so overall a great experience!
T. M.
The food is good, but I think the portions shrank a bit. The gluten free menu has more options than average place, which we appreciated. The service was friendly and helpful. We were seated at the side part, which was very comfortable.
P. W.
A large place on the South Bank. Outside there are good views across the river and the London Eye. Staff very friendly and food good.
K. R.
After a long day, this amazing Italian restaurant was a short and beautiful walk from our hotel near the London Eye. The staff and management were immediately welcoming to us - especially with our seven year old daughter. Marku and Nico took great care of us and recommended some great items. I had the wood fired pizzas with prosciutto and it was cooked to perfection. I want to come back and try out the pasta...which will probably be tomorrow night.
F.
Not as cramped as other London restaurants although when we visited it was not quite as busy. Staff helpful and good humoured food good and at fairly good prices. Reasonable variety on menu. Would certainly pay another visit to it again over was very nice place to go.
L. D.
There wasn't many items left on the menu by the time we got there as a result of the very busy day the had. But very decent healthy pastas were available
P. W.
Overall average but good chocolate pizza
A. B.
I've been to Strada previously at a different location and didn't rate it at all. Nevertheless, we had a quick look over the menu and were after something relatively familiar.
Inside is quite pleasant, and lots of light comes in through the full front windows, even on an overcast day like the one we visited on.
The service and the food were very good, I had the tagliatelle carbonara which was delicious. Desserts were decent, but not as good as the mains.
The only real downside, and is to be expected in central London, is the price. Food, but in particular drinks, we're expensive for whst they were.
G. L. A.
For an Italian is very difficult to find good Italian food abroad. That is why I was really surprised to find such a good service,and good price and good food in Strada. The waiter Massimo has been very polite and professional. I ate strozzapreti and I felt home. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
J. O.
Despite the restaurant being very busy with lunch time service, we were seated promptly and tended to well throughout our lunch.
All of the food was scrummy, especially the pesto bread, and the trip reminded me why I love Strada so much. Just wish the ones near us hadn't closed :).
D. S.
This place has been simply amazing. Our waiter Miguel was fabulous and Marku too. They both provided the best service we have had this weekend. The food was amazing too 😊 we will most definitely be returning.
G. E.
Good food. Waiters slightly struggling to keep up in the evening.
M. S.
Very nice food
Well priced even for London
A. T. (.
Very delicious food, and outstanding customer service
C. W.
I had dinner with my friend at Strada Southbank yesterday. It was our first time visit and I can honestly say that I was impressed! The overall experience was amazing. We were greeted with wide smile by male staff member who let us choose the table. Then we ordered the food. I have to say, we had many specific questions, but they were all answered and the menu was explained to us. Eventually we went for pasta and Saltimbocca, which tasted amazing. Home made Panacotta at the end recommended by our waiter was out of this world! I just want to say thank you for the service provided by male waiter and delicious food we had. We will be definitely back soon.
D. C.
Good food served quickly. Would certainly recommend to friends who find themselves on Southbank in search of food. Plenty of other similar type eating places nearby with no clear winners, all good but down to personal taste.
Mulled wine was ok but didn't quite live up to the smell that first alerted us that it was available.
z.
What a good staff there !
Vicenzo was really friendly !
The food was yummy , and the restaurant was really clean !
J. R.
Really friendly and accommodating staff make this prime location chain restaurant a real success. The front of house staff were great and service was great. Good, buzzy atmosphere in the eary afternoon and we'll prepared standards from this Italian chain. Would recommend to all.
E. U.
Liliana was the best server! She recommended great drinks and foods that pair well together. Highly recommend coming here. The pizza is delicious especially the Parma. Also recommend to start out with the truffle gnocchi!
E. O.
Marku is a fantastic person. He took such good care of my handsome boyfriend and I, we actually rekindled our love to new heights. The food is delicious, the people are great, the atmosphere is perfect before a night of practicing baby making. Enjoy.
S. E.
We didn't eat but went for the all day every day 241 Aperol spritz cocktails and I would absolutely recommend them!
J. S.
Amazing atmosphere, got to be the best Italian restaurant I have had the pleasure of dining in.
The level of service was outstanding
with excellent recommendations from Marku.
The flavour and freshness of the food was outstanding. Would highly recommend this restaurant as one to try in London.
A. A. (.
Thank you to Vincenzo for the incredible service. Please leave the jugs on the table for customers. Thank you again Vincenzo. We will be back because of you :)

Lovely food, friendly staff and 2for1 Aperol spritzers. We had a lovely meal.

First time at Strada for my daughters graduation and it now my favourite Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and service was outstanding special the manager Marku. We will definitely be back

Lovely service and food is great

Service was great despite it being crazy packed. Food was nice and location is perfectly situated.
J. W.
Great venue, staff welcoming and friendly. Good menu for a lunch stop.
P. E.
A good location, with a limited choice of food options on the menu.
The food was well cooked and reasonably priced.
One big negative for me was the addition to the bill of a service charge hidden on the bill, then a very visible request for an optional one on the card reader. The service did not warrant two service charges being applied.
C. S.
I was with some friends last night and we had a great time throughout all night.
At Strada Royal Festival Hall you can taste proper italian food.
The service was quite smooth and fast although the restaurant was quite packed and our dietary requirements were quite demanding.
I would like to thank in particular Gian Luca and all the staff for being so helpful and attentive with us.
Looking forward to go back!!!
J. D.
Good option for good in a fantastic location. It's standard sorry of Italian food. Good service, friendly waiting staff and the food came quite quickly. Nice outdoor seating on summer days. You can do worse than eat here when visiting the South Bank.
G. C.
Really good food and very fast service
V. P.
Not the best experience at Strada, my seafood linguine was undercooked and my friend's risotto swimming in butter. Both dishes went back to the kitchen and new dishes served, which were better. Service was also slow even when not busy, I probably won't be back.
D. K.
Beautiful location right by the Thames. You’d think this would be a tourist trap but the food is legit at reasonable prices. Amazing friendly staff who were very approachable and receptive to a minor feedback I gave them. Special thanks to Gaetano who was so sweet to my young daughter. Thank you for welcoming us and making our night memorable!
A. G.
Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Great location on the South Bank.
T. f.
Nice food and staff friendly enough but considering I booked in advance and notified them it was mums 80th birthday, the welcome was underrated. I asked if we could purchase a birthday cake or anything with a candle but the chef just looked perplexed. As we couldn't manage a desert, not even a sparkler was arranged. I know, perhaps we shouldn't have had any expectations but in some restaurants they would sing Happy Birthday at least (she was wearing a badge and sash). Just wanted to make it special - its not every day you beat cancer and make it to 80 years old. Wish I'd gone next door to Wagamamma!
S. M.
Amazing dinner! Excellent food! Service is fabulous with very warm and welcoming staff who went out of their way to make you feel at home ! Thank you marku ! Highly recommend.
T. P.
Marku - is excellent on recommending the best items on the menu ! Loved his energy .
We sat on the cozy side where there was no music, which was great for us ,as we wanted to have a discussion . Though there is a loud area for a good vibe and good food . And there is another area for sitting on the banks ! So it caters to three different sections .
Food is great ! My company was good ... so I did have a great time and in all honestly Marku and the staff was brilliant in service !
A good place for a beautiful evening !! Loved it !!
J. A.
In a very touristy area so I wasn't expecting anything special, however the service was extremely good, the pizzas very nice and the kids had an adult tagliatella carbonara and kid's menu pasta carbonara respectively, both seemed happy with their choices. Dinner for 4 with two Peroni beers and a house white wine came to £67 inc. service charge which for where it was wasn't bad.
C. W.
Lovely pizza place. I had the Formaggio the last time I was here. It's crust was delicious, crispy and thin and there was a generous portion of goat cheese on top of it. It was heavenly cheesy, I loved it.
They also offer pasta, risotto and a small section of seafood that are all great.
I'd recommend the place highly as you will be offered an authentic Italian experience.
J.
Staff is really nice. I ordered the mozzarella flatbread and the chicken & mushroom pasta. I would recommend the pasta it was really tasty. The mozzarella is really 80% bread so a bit disappointed but great place overall :)
B. K.
Great service, good food ❤️
J. T.
Took a group of 15 people without reservation for lunch. They kindly welcomed us. Great location and nicely decorated place. Attentive and fast service, delicious food. Love the pizza! Thank you guys!
H. D.
Very reasonable prices for the location. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was gorgeous and a good size portion.
J. G.
Tasty Italian dishes good at reasonable prices. Not jist pizza and pasta though. Better than most Italian chain restaurants, especially the pizzas. Good selection of wines at reasonable prices too. When the weather's nice, great to be able to sit outdoors by the rjver. A good varied menu that'd appeal to most people at this buzzy Southbank location.
R. K.
Great location. We sat outside huddled next to the fire heater for coffee and cake because they were serving food inside! But that didn't matter the scenery made up for it. My cheesecake slightly stale and dry and presentation looked the same as the panna cotta. But service was good and overall it was an acceptable stop for quick coffee and cake
P. R.
We had dinner in this restaurant recently and I have to say we were quite satisfied with the service received.
Very nice location and great atmosphere.
We were especially pleased by the friendly service given by Francesco.
We will definitely come back.
E. M.
Had an absolutely delicious dinner. We had a warm welcome when we arrived by Marku. We’ve been several times and it has been consistently very good. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed.
C. F.
Lovely food, one of the best burgers I’ve had and the Vesuvius pizza my daughter has was delicious.
Service was good and the staff friendly. Very nice restaurant indeed!
T. T.
Went here for a friends birthday. There were 16 of us needing a table, I phoned up the night before and had no problem booking at short notice, staff were very accommodating. Food was very filling and portion size was exceptional. Half a bottle of wine and a main meal was £20 each which for London is brilliant. Will go back again.
c. 4.
Lovely waiter. Invented a meal not on the menu due to dietary requirements checked and advised if we didn't like it they would keep trying until they got it right. Went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Meal was hot and very tasty.
G. T. V.
Strada was a great experience! The food was fantastic, drinks were good, and Liliana took great care of us!! 5 pound pizza Monday is a must!!!! Order the truffle gnocchi!
A. P.
We had a short dinner on Sunday evening, before theatre. Lovely food and friendly service. My wife was hesitating to have a cafe after the meal, as we haven't had much time, but our waiter Peter, promised he would make sure, it will be ready straight away, and so it was!
Thank you again!
M. M.
I have just visited and I have never experienced such a good customer service from a member of your staff. Marku was amazing through all time we spent here and for the first time my girlfriend and I were treated as guests not customers! Well done! We will come back!
K. K.
Really good food, the drinks could have been better.

The food was really good and the chocolate fondant recommendation was the perfect addition! Lilliana was a great server! 10/10 recommend!

We were served by the delightful Alex. A charming young man, he was professional, helpful and highly proficient. A sheer joy.
E. c.
Great for a quick bite before or after exploring the southbank. Good for big groups and families. Standard pizza and pasta thier salads are nice too! Outside seating with heaters that's great for watching the crowds go by anytime of the year.
D. S.
Scruffy stained seating does not truly set the scene for a memorable dining experience with my fussy mother in law. Service was on demand. We were seated behind a column so I had to becon staff to come over each time. Food was fast, but average.

Amazing dinner! Cant recommend enough! We had great dinner and really good service ! Definitely one if my favourites restaurant! Thank you Marku and Miguel
F. K.
Amazing customer service and food

Went with my best friend and was so good would recommend going here m was lovely food
S. W.
Good for families.
A quick lunch in a packed restaurant in February half term. The children chose veggie sticks, pizza and ice cream. We chose the set special menu. One starter (antipasti), two mains (pizza and pasta) and one desert (orange and chocolate tarte). Its good food for a fair price in South Bank central.
J. T.
Very busy on a summer's evening but the buzz at the outdoor tables is really pleasant. The menu isn't huge but there's quite a reasonable choice of pizza , pasta, fish and meat. Reasonably priced.
R. M.
Just been out for a birthday meal for my dad. A bit apprehensive with the restrictions but it felt really safe, lovely table outside, yummy good and great service from Lilliana, the waitress.
A. C.
Very lovely place where you can have a good time and enjoy the food. Every dishes are so delicious and if you are fans of the Tiramisù, in strada you can get one of the best tiramisu in London.
Also the customer service are very professional and you are felling welcome.
N. M. D. C.
Absolutely heaving on a hot day but was seated by the charming Aaron in no time at all. The food came out really quickly and it was great to sit outside and enjoy the view. Food was at the top end for a chain as well!
D. V. F.
Lauren and Marky made my partners birthday the most memorable. Cheerful upbeat chatty and kind. They all sung by his cake and the food was delicious. It’s a bit of a win win if you ask me.
S. H.
Delicious food. Good vibes. The portions of the pasta could be a little bigger.
A. T.
Great service. Great food. Amazing place with a nice view. The supervisor Marku made our evening!!! Thank you for that. The way he recommended meals drinks and .... chat with him was a real pleasure. He recommended the special of the day .. I decided to take it ... Delicious..however I risked but Marku said if I didnt like it he would pay 😉 anyway it was delicious. I highly recommend restaurant. Enjoy!
R. S.
Fantastic service and it’s my first time visiting this place and the food was delivered to us quick even the restaurant was so busy. Our waiter Marku was so brilliant he made us feel comfortable to the restaurant it self and would be back here again soon.
I. F.
Great location, good food, reasonable prices. We were hoping to sit outside and there were a couple of tables free but were seated indoors despite asking if we could be outside as there was only 2 of us. This was after the main lunch rush and when we finished half the tables outside were empty so they could have easily let us sit there without losing covers.
H. O.
Visit with colleagues. Main courses were very nice but colleagues were left still feeling a bit hungry after finishing their meal - my burger was fine. Female toilets are apparently unclean and friends came out looking disgusted.
A. N.
This place is just amazing. I have really missed being at Strada Southbank. Marku is a a perfect example of what great service should be like. Attentive, excellent advice on food and wine, just amazing really. Good on you guys 👍
M. B.
The service was second to none. We were on a tight schedule and they service us in plenty of time. The food was great. I had a pizza which was not at all greasy or heavy. Its was a very big pizza.
A. H.
My friend and I came here for lunch because we were craving Italian food. The restaurant have seats outside that overlooks the river, which is nice. But, today we were too hot. It was a bit busy today.
My friend had the vesuvio pizza (mozzarella cheese, chili's, and sausage and I had the penne pomodoro. We both split dough balls as a side dish. I really liked my dish and it was a good portion. The pizza looked good too, but pepperoni came on her pizza when she asked the waiter to omit them. The waiter was very nice and apologized for the mistake.
J. H.
There was a queue to get in - normally we would have walked on looking for somewhere else. We were tired though so waited until a table was free. Turned out to be a good idea as food and atmosphere was very nice. It's kind of weird how to get to the toilets you are required to fight your way through the busy servers collecting food from the kitchen.
I. J.
Food is good and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive and the location is great. Only downside was that the toilets could have done with some attention.
L. J.
Very nice and friendly staff, food was really tasty and drinks were great too. Would definitely recommend!
v. n.
Food and service great. A little rushed to start but very pleasant in the end. Very cheerful staff.
A. H.
The location and the view are indeed excellent but when it comes to the quality of the food I had there is much to be desired especially with those prices. Although the food wasn't perfectly prepared the great company and the wine we ordered compensated for that. I would recommend booking a table in advance otherwise prepare yourself for a 40 minute waiting to get one.
D. C.
Really great family venue. Lilliana was a fantastic host. Many thanks 😊
S. M.
Really tasty food and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately didn't have the full wine list stocked, but was over all a lovely experience.

My new favourite restaurant. Marku was friendly and very knowledgeable. Everything was perfect - the food, the drinks, the ambiance and the overall experience Thank you for amazing dinner

Fairly busy on Saturday evening but we got place pretty quickly. Food was really good and portion just as right. Customer service excellent. Will visit in the future for sure.

The cuisine was surprisingly very close to the original Itaian, for being a chain. Everything was very tasty, the environment is nice. Massimo the waiter was very friendly. We'll certainly come back :)

Great staff, fab food, lovely lunch. Will definitely return

Had a quick meal here before performing at the Festival Hall immediately above the restaurant. Quick service and good food quality. In a great position on the south bank with several tube stops nearby.

Nice restaurant on the Southbank. Inviting, friendly and attentive. Went for lunch and I had the superfood salad and my daughter had a tomato based pasta which looked nice. It was warm weather so sat outside and it was lovely afternoon.

Fantastic food at really reasonable prices.
All of the staff were really friendly and welcoming and helped us celebrate a friends birthday with cake! Despite being really busy the service was quick and the quality of food was excellent - I highly recommend this place
I. M.
The pizza was quite good. Vincenzo was very helpful in explaining the details of various dishes. Excellent and fast service!
M. P.
A very busy restaurant, so best to book a table, Italian food, I had chicken milanese as the main, and we shared a couple of starters, very friendly staff, bill for 4 people including drinks £158, ..12.5 % tip added in, not bad for London, but would be exorbitant from where I come from.
C. D.
Amazing pizza, and the chicken was suuuuper soft. Overall very very nice waiters, especially Massimo.
Not the cheapest, but worth every penny.
C. K.
Good food, friendly staff, nice location on the South Bank
D. G.
I dont think it as terrible I like it/ that particular place was loud and too many at that time of nockdown/ servers were good natured & food well done .
C. W.
The best Caesar salad I have ever eaten and it was in London, highly recommend and the view of the Thames is outstanding! Make sure you ask for Liliana, the best server!!!
G. M.
Stupidly we ate here at 6pm on a bank holiday monday. Even still, I won't be back.
I should have known better, and avoided the area entirely - but here we were, the kids were hungry, and the queues at Wagamama and Giraffe were too long to contemplate.
The food was thrown together, it felt like in the rush they'd given up on quality control or portioning. The kids menu felt like they were trying to cram in too many elements within a price, but none of them actually worth it. The adult meals were massively disappointing. I know it's a chain, but chains can do so much better. We eat at Pizza Express pretty regularly, and I've never felt it drop in quality when things got busy the way I felt it drop here.
That said, this was nothing to do with the staff - who were doing a good job. It was pure and simple a management failure, and that's partly the problem of a venue that caters to a captive market (people going to shows at Southbank) and non-returning visitors (Southbank tourists). As neither of those, though, we certainly won't be back to this restaurant, and we won't be visiting another Strada any time soon.
P. J.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. Thank you Marku for looking after us. Will definitely be dining here again very soon
B. A.
A wounderfull restaurang with a very pleasant place near the Thames. Good service and the staff very nice. We have been there eating twice under our week in London. I have never before tasted so perfect risotto, and my wife says the same about bolognese.
We recommend this lovely restaurant.
From two delighted sweeds on holiday in London.

Liliana was the best server. She’s such a sweetheart and the experience was perfect. I love the food too.

Did well for us for a retirement celebration for 10. Friendly service from Miguel , good food and good value - and we didn’t feel rushed. And a beautiful view of the river when you come out!
I. T.
Strada is in my view one of the better chains of Italian restaurants, but it is a chain so don't hope for too much. This branch always copes pretty well with the pre concert/theatre rush - visit after 19:30 for a less hectic experience.
J. H.
Enjoyed a delicious meal there. Staff very friendly and food nicely presented. Would go again.
S. F.
Decent. Good food though staff is way too busy and so forget everything you ask for...had to ask for water about 5 times, a meat knife for the steak 3 times...
Have been here twice recently - very busy and loud but nice vibe.
T. R.
Stopped in for a meal before a film. Table was placed on the edge of outside. Service was rushing due to volume of customers. Once told the starting time of film the food arrived. Nice wine with that special someone.
D.
Great food, good service and reasonably priced. I went for lunch with my colleagues and I'll be going again!!
M. B.
Costy for fodd that isn’t really tasty. I had a salad with no dressing and cold lentils. Could have gone to the tesco and get something better. Drinks were good and the happy hour deal was good.
C. M.
Didn't book, but got a table for 3, last minute on a Thursday night in 10mins. Make sure if you book, to be on or before time otherwise they WILL give up your table :o)
Had a good experience, good food, didn't feel squeezed and was served well by Erika.
Only down side, it was noisey inside due to the volume of customers. Other than that, great!
J. D.
Food was great, service was a bit slow. It was very busy though. Still took a long time to get the check. Overall, we were glad to get a table on a busy night.
P. E.
Place was busy, but staff was extremely nice and everyone in good mood! Bravo! Food came quick, all fresh and authentic italian. Anytime again!! 👍🏻

Markus n Humberto excellent services. The food specially seafood risotto n pizza very very delicious. Really good taste! Should come n taste for yourself🤩🤩🤩

I love this place, it’s my favourite one! The food it’s extraordinary and the staff it’s really confident and nice. Liliana, the girl who served me it’s a credit for you! 🥂💪🏼
T. B.
One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had everything was perfect! Thank you Viola and Marku for looking after us! See you very soon
J. M.
Felt a bit "rushed" this evening, tho it may have been because a lot of people were going to the theatre. Heavy thumping music unnecessary, and almost too much. Disappointed, cos we often go there.
A. R.
Great food, friendly staff and good value at the moment. Excellent location and handy for resting from the best of London
L. B.
The food and service are fine here, but it's a terribly noisy and impersonal ambience. Okay if you need a quick meal before a concert but not a pleasant place to hang out for a nice dinner.
A. C.
Reasonable Fares. Food OK and good service. Special attention for kids.
C. T.
Nice food (even though it's a chain!), and good at accommodating requests
D. M.
Amazing staff, good speed of the service and food was delicious. They serve proper italian coffee too! I recommend to visit this place if you in the area.
Y. L.
Good service with amazing food. Must try the Tiramisu
S. C.
Pizza was crusty and not soggy like other places. Pleasantly surprised of the Monday deal. Dinner for two less than £20 which was a lovely surprise.
H. B.
Gabriella is the best waitress I’ve ever had on the Southbank. She was very kind, attentive and helpful. She should be promoted!
B. G.
Food okay, nothing excellent. Overly priced due to the location I felt.
J. K.
The ham and funghi pizza here, while not bad, is also nothing special. I've finished my meal with affogato, but the vanilla ice cream were just as well quite short of exquisite. Could be a good choice on the South Bank, but Coven Garden is just across the bridge and offers a much improved selection of restaurants.
S. P.
Had a wonderful meal today. Paco was a wonderful waiter as were the rest of the staff. Would really recommend.

Nice food and atmosphere but crazily understaffed - asked for water 3 times, ketchup never came for the fries, they served steak without steak knife which we had to ask for twice and waited ages for...baby bit of a shame because everything else was wonderful.

Service was quick and friendly. Food came really fast and was decent, however the portions were really small. Ravioli came with 6 pieces and no side for £13.45

Food was good but service wasnt the best. The restaurant then decides to add a service charge to the bill despite this. Needless to say we had this removed.

About what I’d expect for somewhere on the south bank and for a big chain. Not great but not terrible! Some of the food was pretty nice. Service friendly but bit chaotic
t. w.
The food was faultless, and the prices very reasonable for the area. My only criticism would be that the bottled lagers could be served much colder.
J. P.

Popped up the South Bank one evening Christmas week with my family we walked along the restaurants and liked what we read on the menu board for strada we looked in & it was packed but i asked a member of staff it she could fit us in & surprisingly she found a table for us, the staff were polite efficient & friendly the food was served fast considering the busyness of the restaurant
The food was to a very good standard, clear plates from all of us
So i would recommend strada as a place to eat
F. C.
