The menu selection was unique, but the taste of the food was below average. The menu had oxtail risotto besides the normal seafood rissoto, and had wide homemade noodles besides the normal spaghetti & linguine fare. Unfortunately the food tasted bland and boring. The sausage & brown butter ravioli entree was tiny in size and tasted like an oily version of Chinese dumplings. The oxtail in the oxtail rissoto was delicious, but the rissoto it sat on was tasteless & boring. La Strada seemed to have put a lot of effort into developing good LOOKING unique dishes, but needs to put in extra effort in taste.
Service was slow. When we sat down, we had to wait a short while before getting menus, another while before getting water or drinks, and waited even longer each time we needed anything else: placing our order, getting bread refills, and getting our check.
Pros: Unusual menu items
Cons: Bland food, Slow service
