Diner Reviews

"La Strada Our wait person recommended the chefs tasters menu. The chef prepares special items that even the wait staff doesen't know about. We were pleasantly suprised by all four courses. Some items like the lasagna are not on the regular menu. It was a very enjoyable experience. I woud recommend La Starda to anyone visiting the Reno area."

"La Strada is a great place to enjoy dinner. The Matre D walked us to our table and told the reason for the name of the restaurant. The food is fantastic! Service is just as good as the food"

"We have been meaning to try La Strada for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity. They tout their mushroom ravioli, so three of us went for that, and it was fabulous - not too rich or heavy, but just right. The service was very good, as well. Our only complaint was that there was a large group at the next table that were having a little too much fun - they were loud and somewhat profane, and that affected our enjoyment of the evening. I was going to say something to the manager, but I saw the maitre'd chatting with them and basically encouraging their merriment, so I figured we were the only ones bothered by it and said nothing. Once they left, our experience improved greatly."

"An Italian restaurant where a little Italian is actually spoken. Chef oversees made-to-order dishes. Servers are not always attentive, but it works. Veal picatta is to die for!"

"We had 11 people for dinner and all felt the food was great. We bought Italian wine from list and it was quite good."

"Service was spot on. All the food was outstanding, but most notably was my entree, which was the best risotto I've ever had! Top it off with a glass of Ferrari Carano Tre Terre Chardonnay and it was perfection!"

"Food was OK at best and I was surprised to see that they stated they were one of the nations top 10 Italian restaurants. I have eaten at many Italian restaurants across the country and they do not even begin to compare to some of the best. I will say that our server was wonderful."

"This is one of the top three Italian restaurants in Reno. The food is really good and they also have a wide selection of great wines to chose from. If you like Italian food they will have something on the menu for everyone. We have been there many times , always had a great meal & time and will go back again."

"Everything about the evening was perfect - we had the mushroom ravioli appetizer followed by seared scallops and baked salmon, delicious house wine and dessert. Our waiter, Jorge helped make the experience special. We will definitely return."

"We loved the old world Italian ambiance. The service was hit and miss. The server stated he would bring us bread when he took our drink order, but it never materialized, once we were able to get his attention we reminded him; even though another table he was waiting (seated after we were) had faster service. We each had a veal dish and they were both cooked perfectly. Due to the slow service we did not have time to try a dessert as we had allotted 1.5 hours for dinner before we were due at a show at the same casino. We had also skipped appetizers and soup/salad. So 1.5 hours for one drink apiece, bread basket, and entree. The food was good, but if we go back we definitely want a different server."

"I proposed to my girlfriend after dinner at La Strada. She said yes and I can't help but think the magnificent meal we shared helped seal the deal. Best Italian food I've ever had and I'm a hard to please Italian."

"From the moment we walked up and were greeted by the host, our experience was wonderful from beginning to end. Our server, Mateo was excellent. The food was superb. We left the restaurant with such a feeling of comfort and contentment that carried through the whole evening. We look forward to our next visit to La Strada."
Dined on 2/11/2014
"Had a great evening with friends. We all had different selections from the menu and we all thought our individual orders were excellent. Great ambiance away from the casino noises. Had one side dish that wasn't quite up the standards set by the the other food and the waiter immediately replaced this within minutes with an alternative suggestion. The service throughout the dinner was outstanding. Highly recommend La Strada."
Dined on 2/10/2014
"The staff of La Strada is competent and considerate. All work very hard to make the guest's visit an "experience", instead of just a meal. Adjectives like "unobtrusive", "polite", and "concerned" fit perfectly. Food portions are very adequate, so some eaters might want to split meals. Respectfully submitted. Arnold Selk, Lake Almanor, CA 96137. Feb 11, 2014"
Dined on 2/4/2014
"The food and atmosphere at LaStrada are both excellent but, the fact that you can get Ferrara Carano wine at prices that I cannot get back home in Chicago is the best part. We will continue to visit La Starda on every visit and recommend to our friends."
Dined on 2/1/2014
"From the point that you enter the restaurant your fine dining experience begins. You are greeted by a Very pleasant Italian that just plain makes you feel you are in Italy. It has been many years since the last time i have eaten in La Strada and i will tell you, The food is still Great.. The Mushroom Raviolis are to die for, i just wish there was a little more.. The full Italian atmosphere is a plus. I feel to get the best experience from your visit is to sit close to the kitchen counter…"

"Veal parmigiana was a thick, juicy bone - in cutlet with a wonderfully light marinara sauce . . . service was attentive without being intrusive"

"Had a great meal and the service was outstanding. The only complaint I would say is don't allow reservations for a time 5 min before the kitchen closes made us feel a little rushed."

"Wonderful dinner with my husband 2 daughters son-in-law and 3 grand kids. Food was fantastic, service incomparable, and the birthday song was something I've never had before! Staff was great with the 2 6 year olds and 8 year old, suggesting and accommodating their food tastes with patience and humor. My husband daughter and son-in-law had the "tasting menu" and were beyond pleased with it. My daughter has degrees in culinary arts and management and is a confessed foodie and she ranked LaStrada as one of her best experiences. If we should return to Reno in the future (we live in the Kansas City area) we would definitely put LaStrada on our to do list!"

"In all the years I have been to the El Dorado, I have always had a remarkable experience. A true get away dining experience. The Only place I truly recommend to all who ask. They know what dining is! I am a chef and this is chefing in every respect."

"went for new year's eve dining. price fix menu looked good on website.when we got there the menu had changed. then we decided to order one of the price fix meals and a regular meal but were told we couldn't because we had to both order the special menu. however, it didn't say that on the menu. I was bothered. then the waiter brought us a special appetizer to apologize for the confusion. the food is always excellent."

"We had out of town visitors, we knew where to take them for good Italian. Food, service and staff always deliver to our high level of expectations. Our visitors have called us twice to thank us for taking them to LaStrada. Cudos to Michael (maitre de) and Monica (hostess) for making us feel like part of their family."
Dined on 12/30/2013
"The El Dorado never lets me down when I have guests and take them there to dine. La Strada can be as quiet and romantic as you would desire or can be a great place to take the family, which makes it unique. The food is always tasty and presented beautifully."

"We were in Reno with friends and were looking for a restaurant close to where we were all staying. We chose La Strada because we wanted Italian food and the review of the restaurant looked good. We were pleasantly surprised by the choices available on the menu and the referral of the mushroom ravioli by our waiter was appreciated. We ordered them and they were delicious. Our waiter was attentive as was all of the other servers there. It was a great experience and the cost of the meal was very reasonable."

"At some point several years ago the quality had declined. I used to joke that the best dinner and the worst dinner I had were at the same restaurant. After 5 years we decided to try it again,.Heard there was a new chef--- THE FOOD WAS GREAT< THE SERVICE WAS GREAT!!!! We will be back."

"Wonderful food at La Strada. Just moved back to Reno and found it was as good as ever. Prosciutto wrapped shrimp and wood fired salmon were outstanding!"
Dined on 12/6/2013
"La Strada cannot be appreciated in one visit. There are too many delectable options to choose from. From the ambience and the service, to the food and the wine, it could not have been any better, unless you get there between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. for the early bird special. Eat the mushroom ravioli paired with the Sierra blend wine. Follow it with the cannoli and a cup of their signature coffee. My only complaint was the music when we walked in. It was loud, and it was not Italian. However, we were one of the first in and it might have been crew warm up music. They changed it to light music with Italian flair, and turned it down a bit...then, everything was perfect."

"Love this restaurant. Had not visited for several years, somehow went off the radar. A recent return visit wowed me! The food reflects the difference when a cook is preparing the food and a Chef is preparing the food. Excellent service always! The Caesar salad is delightful, I don't usually eat this but here it is very lightly dressed and has shaved parmesan.....wow! My only problem with eating here is that garlic bread! They give you a lot and I eat it all.....SO delicious. You feel you are back in Italy when you dine here. We eat here when going to a show or for a special occasion....my way of saying, I will use any excuse to come back!"
Dined on 12/1/2013
"Had not dined here in a number of years as rarely get to downtown Reno any more. It was as good as I remembered. The food was very good and the service outstanding! Its a shame such a top notch restaurant is not located in a higher caliber city."
