Seawise Southbank in Lambeth

Great service, speedy from order to arrival, which is what you want when you are off to see a show. Really friendly waiting staff. Slightly pricey for a chain italian!

Good reasonably priced food. Helpful, pleasant staff & great location by the Thames.

Excellent restaurant for pastas!

I visited the place for lunch of course I couldn't find another place so I didn't develop expectations for the restaurant the food is very fast even the main dishes have seats inside and you can come without a reservation and have a seat

We come back to strada every month and the food is always delicious. Thank you Matteo for great hospitality.

Food was amazing, lovely atmosphere and friendly environment. Thank you to Matteo for hospitality, will definitely recommend to my friends.

Lili our server just made my day. It was my 50th birthday celebration, I was over from Canada, and she was so friendly, efficient, funny and professional - it made all the difference. Great views of the Thames, good food and just wonderful all around. Thanks!

Good food, terrible rude service

I visited this restaurant and was truly impressed! Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, but most of all, I want to highlight the outstanding service from Iryna. She was very attentive, friendly, and professional. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

The food was nice and ready quite som after we ordered it. It was a bit cold and windy, but we found a nice spot. The Music in the Kitchen was a bit loud. Bit overall, if you Are near London Eye and need somerhing to eat, this could be the place.

I work nearby but this is the first time I've visited this Strada. Probably the last. Food wasn't bad quality, portion size was questionable given we were told the large antipasti platter served 4 - we opted for that and the garlic bread (which was a good size) between 3 of us and without the garlic bread it would've been mediocre at best. Mains were pretty good but the service left a lot to be desired. We arrived just after 8.15pm on a Sunday. Nobody mentioned they close at 9.30pm. We ordered drinks from a lovely waitress who shortly afterwards, told us she was leaving. No problem there. As we finished our starters, another waiter came to clear plates and told us the kitchen was closing so did we want anything else? Given we'd not even received our mains yet, we said no. Mains came out and a 3rd member of staff asked immediately after if she could leave the bill. A little abrupt but fine. She then returns 2 minutes later with the card machine, expecting us to pay when we've barely even started our main courses! The staff continued to fuss around us, clearing up even though it was 9.20pm, and offered no explanation or apology for doing so. It was a warm, sunny, Sunday evening on London's South Bank. Expecting restaurants to be open later than 9.30pm (especially when nobody has warned you it closes little over an hour after you enter) and treating customers with respect should surely be a bare minimum? If I had been a visitor to London or this had been my first experience at Strada, i certainly wouldn't have returned. As it is, I've worked nearby for 18 months and haven't visited before but would still opt for many of the other options nearby before I chose Strada again.

Food its ok .Just the waitress spilled coffee on my pants and I didn't say anything or apologize.The food was for 57 pounds ,but put VAT 20 percentage and 12.5 for service charge but it total I pay 98 £ I dont now for what???I do not recommend.

Booked a early table! Restaurant was full so we sat in a quieter section which was lovely. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Food was really good. And it arrived quickly. Highly recommend for somewhere to eat on Southbank .

Very expensive glass of average wine and food unremarkable. Service was average, friendly staff but didn't seem to know what they were doing .

The pizza here is great! We ordered the Margherita and the Salsiccia & Friarielli. The Margherita was really good but just needed some fresh Basil and the Salsiccia is amazing! Also, if they don't offer it ask for the infused olive oil - great dipper for the crust.

Really good service and food, Alessandro was amazing, best waiter ever, he should get a promotion, The Sirloin steak was amazing, really well seasoned and was cooked just right, The atmosphere was really was really good and everyone was very welcoming

Very nice! Great costumer service

good food. gluten free options. friendly staff. attentive. good atmosphere

It was awesome! The food was delicious, the waitress that served my table was really nice, the atmosphere had a really cozy, aesthetic, soft and calming vibe and I would definitely visit and eat here again!

Everything was amazing. The food was great, the waiters were nice and patient, the atmosphere was calm, cozy and soft, I felt so good being there. Loved everything.

The pizza was delicious. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio isn't quite right here, 18 pounds for a pizza with ham is a bit steep.

An Incredible Experience in the Heart of London! If you’re looking for a place where every detail is perfected, this restaurant is for you! From the moment we walked in until the last sip of wine, everything was at the highest level. The service exceeded all expectations: the waiters were incredibly attentive, genuine, and professional. They were always nearby but never intrusive and knew exactly how to recommend the perfect dish or drink to match the mood. The managers also deserve special recognition – they don’t just oversee the process but truly create an atmosphere of hospitality and comfort. The food was a masterpiece! Every dish was not only delicious but also looked like a work of art. From appetizers to desserts, everything was fresh, harmonious, and absolutely exquisite. A particularly special moment was celebrating my friend’s birthday. The restaurant team surprised us with a thoughtful gesture – a beautifully presented dessert with a candle and warm birthday wishes. It was a truly heartwarming touch that made the evening even more special. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates true quality, impeccable service, and an incredible atmosphere. Here, you don’t just get a meal – you get unforgettable emotions!❤️❤️❤️

Food and service was amazing! I would definitely come back. Thanks Nicole

Gen and Cristina were fantastic, food delicious!

The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. The pizza was perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Great place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Thanks Florin

I had a fantastic meal here and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The Bucatini Carbonara was not only hot and tasty but also had a generous portion that felt worth every penny. The service was impeccable—everyone was super friendly and made sure everything was perfect, from the warm welcome to a prompt farewell. The atmosphere was lovely, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy my time. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Location, service and food all brilliant. Good value for money if you're adjusted to London prices. Gluten free pasta was delicious. We left extremely satisfied.

Best service ever David was amazing food even better

Food is not too bad, pretty decent I must admit. Ambience decent as well, during summer days it's splendid to sit out. Just few, I reiterate just few are there who I felt are not so polite as they should be

We were attending Fascinating Aida at the Festival Hall. The restaurant is on the premises and the meal was exactly as expected. Service was quick and was the beginning of a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We went for a family gathering at Christmas. The restaurant was packed, the service was excellent and the food, for what it is, was great.

Amazing experience at Strada for our Christmas work's social, great atmosphere and great food!

We spent a very nice New Year's Eve in the Strada and were then able to experience the New Year's Eve fireworks, so to speak "under the London eye": impressive! The food at Strada was quite good; The service and thoughtfulness of the managing director Matheo was impressive. All in all a successful evening. I can absolutely recommend the Strada, even if it gets a little hectic here and there (that's nice in an Italian way). Hence 5 stars.

Very kind service, fast and delicious food

Spending New Year’s Eve at Strada Southbank was an unforgettable experience. The food was impeccable—authentic Italian flavors, perfectly cooked , and desserts that were pure indulgence. Every bite reflected exceptional skill and passion. The ambiance was magical, with elegant decor, festive energy, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The music and fireworks made the night even more special, creating memories to last a lifetime. The staff were outstanding especially Florin was amazing effortlessly ensuring everything was running smoothly and perfect. Strada Southbank the perfect choice for those seeking incredible food, flawless service, and an unforgettable celebration. Thank you for an amazing start to 2025!

Good food, felt like we were being rushed out. Kids food arrived within 2 minutes which felt too quick. Staff were maybe a little too attentive

The food isn't great, no vegan options unless you remove a bunch of ingredients. Pizza was mediocre.

Racist server/v rude. 3-5 of them at a time would stand and be chatting and not looking towards the tables at all. The food came cold except for the inside part of the linguini pasta. Calamari was not crispy at all. Pizza came with lines but wasn’t actually cut. There was a weird taste in the margarita pizza. Asked for a cup with ice and it came melting already. Guy wearing half a sleeve tshirt was nice. They had nice kid menus as well. Their staff need to fix up. I think even the manager ignored my hand raised asking for help.

Poor food, blood on the plate with the steak. Cold chips in a hot bowl. Pretty bland overall. Forgot the side for my childs meal and missing cutlery (spoon for pasta and knife for steak). Better options around the area.

The first time I came last year with my boyfriend, I had a steak and he had a pizza, very fast service and very kind waiters. I confirm everything, having come a second time at the beginning of December with two friends, including one with celiac disease. They gave her a special menu, and she ate a delicious carbonara. The method of scanning the QR code to pay and split the bill is also excellent. I hope to return a third time! well done everyone!!

Extremely disappointing experience at Strada Southbank. The food was barely passable—poorly presented, and one member of our party couldn’t even eat their pasta as it was so overcooked it resembled mush. The house red wine was equally subpar; we left most of it untouched. To make matters worse, we were seated in a makeshift area in the Southbank Centre hallway, which lacked any atmosphere and had wobbly tables. Overall, it was a letdown on every front. I wouldn’t recommend this place and certainly won’t be returning.

Very disappointed. Ate my meal and at the end found a big black hair in my side dish. Told the waitress who removed the cost of the dish only. Then we were told to pay using a QR code, which showed a 15% service charge. Just felt really disgusted because I'd bitten into some random person's hair. So busy you were nearly sat on the lap of the people next door

Amazing place, perfect pizza and lovely waiters 👍🏻

I had a pre-theatre meal of spinach & cheese ravioli with a glass of red wine, then ice cream and coffee. The food was very good and the service was efficient and friendly. Even though it was very busy, the staff were great. I only wanted a single scoop of ice-cream and they were happy to do this and reduce the price accordingly. Definitely recommend.

The food was just okay—nothing special or memorable. What really stood out, unfortunately, was the staff’s behavior. Even though the place wasn’t busy, the staff spent their time play-fighting with each other, which was incredibly distracting and unprofessional. It made the atmosphere unpleasant and took away from the experience. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn’t rush back anytime soon.

Good Italian restaurant on the banks of the Thames. The prices were a little high, but the food was very tasty

Food was ok, service felt rushed with the food coming out before we finished the starter. Also i'm not a fan of automatically charging a 12,5 gratuity. That should depend on the service and food.

Pizza was delicious; However, the potatoes with the chicken breast are not completely cooked through. Unfortunately a drink was forgotten to be brought; However, it was brought quickly as I remembered. Wasn't a big problem now. However, the glass of water with the meal is good. What is annoying, however, is the service fee of 12.5 percent! This was not mentioned before and payment does not work online if the internet is poor. Cash payment is also not possible. The service fee can only be found on the invoice after payment by card. Of course you would give a tip, but simply asking for a fee like that is a bit cheeky.

Terrible cuisine, only the pizza is edible, but very courteous

Beware, if you pay by QR code you are asked if you’d like to add a tip, but, a service charge has already been added. A double tip! Really??

I ate pizza, a Caesar salad and some arancini... all good... then the location is fantastic

Dom was brilliant and looked after us great tonight.

nice food and really nice place to eat - service was absolutely amazing especially our server dom - thank you so much!

Thank you Dom for the great service! Big up the midlands! Great food 🎉

Dom was a fantastic host, the Midlands rule, Dom is family!!

Great food, great server! Thanks Dom!

Thank you so much for making our son’s 4th birthday so special. He has multiple food allergies and intolerances, I contacted the restaurant before our booking and they were extremely accommodating and even cooked him something off menu so that he could eat out for the first time. Thank you so much for making that possible. The food was lovely and they even brought out a special cupcake for him that I supplied so we could all sing happy birthday to him! Thanks to Sllva and her team x

Loved the food and the service. One of the best risottos I’ve had in London. Quite pricey as it was ~ 45pp but considering the food quality and location it’s worth it. The only downside is how smelly women’s toilet was🤢🤢🤢…hope the restaurant management can fix this issue otherwise it would’ve been a near-perfect dining experience.

Amazing food and service. Andre was amazing. Props to him for making the evening that much better!

Andre was a lovely waiter made our friends bday special

I went here with my family for dinner. It was a very pleasant environment. We have some challenging dietary requirements but Dom Phillips (our waiter) was very understanding and patient. He gave us an excellent service and ensured we were satisfied with everything. The food was very prompt and exceptionally tasty. Dom was very careful to ensure he checked to ensure everything we ordered was suitable for our dietary reqs. Thank you for a great experience.

We came with our family for a holiday. We came across these restaurants by accident. Delicious food and great service! We especially recommend Mrs. Kasia 🤗

Wow, great food and delicious wine and affordable! (By London standards that is). Super friendly staff and our children (fussy eaters) also liked it. Lilly was our server and very welcoming and friendly.

Dominic our host was phenomenal and offered a wide range of recommendations which were all greatly received. Food was good and location is great.

Service was good and food came very quickly, but both pizza and pasta were very bland and tasteless. Garlic bread tasty but soggy with oil and very chewy. Despite seeing lots of garlic and tomato in the pasta sauce it managed to taste of nothing at all.

Lily was a brilliant waitress and made the whole experience incredible!! Made the whole dinner more enjoyable.

Lili was amazing today, she made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. Our food was fresh and plentiful. The sticky toffee puddings were warm and delicious, not too sweet at all.

Enjoyed the last of the summer sun with my girlfriends this evening. Good selection of wine and food - we had other plans for dinner so just stayed for wine and nibbles. Great atmosphere and a lovely view. Special mention to staff member Dom! He was so attentive and really made our evening. Thanks Dom

Had a lovely time with friends enjoying some drinks! Our waiter Dom was lovely!! Thank you

Came to have a dinner with some friends the other day. Ana-Teodora was an amazing server, very attentive and friendly. Starters were great - thank you for the recommendations. :) I will surely visit again.

Great food, good and friendly service and nice location. Three stars for two reasons: - tables (especially for two people) are too small so two meals, two drinks and two glasses of water cannot all fit on the table. - watch out, they include the tip automatically, without even asking. This should not be accepted as a norm.

Our server Dominique was amazing and the food was excellent. Highly recommend coming here for dinner! Can’t say enough about everything from drinks to dinner and dessert!!

Dominic was a very good waiter and a very nice young man

Great location and decent service. However the food was just terrible. Bruschetta was a single slice of really soggy bread topped with tomatoes. The penne pasta was nothing like we have eaten before. The tomato sauce it was cooked in more like a soup, the pastas was just horrible. My wife’s risotto was plain, bland and tasteless. This was one of our favourite restaurants whenever we visited London - not anymore.

Genevieve is so amazing best waitress so far very attentive

Amazing evening meal here, food is amazing especially the spicy rigatoni!! Also fantastic aperol deal 2 for 1!! Victoria waitress was so amazing, very helpful.

Food was super flavorful and wonderful. Lilly our waitress made the experience a perfect 10.

Great experience!! Lily our waitress was amazing. She was kind and welcoming and had great energy. The food was delicious! I definitely recommend it.

Tourist trap… poor food and untrained staff… who are trying to do their best but failing.

Viktoria was amazing ❤️ I went out with my friends for a walk near Southbank and decided to pop to the Strada for some drinks. She helped us to choose drinks and even recommended some food, so we’ve had an amazing dinner. Will definitely come back and will ask for her service as it was an amazing experience. Thanks to Strada and its well trained team members ❤️

Delicious food from Kasia, great service from Kasia

We recommend!!! Delicious food!!! Very nice service, professional approach to the customer by Mrs. Kasia!

Loved it here! We got served by Dom and he has brilliant energy and was really attentive to us. Also, the food was divine. Thanks for the great service, Don.

Visited this place last month when I was in London. Great pizza served with tasty aperol.

Great restaurant! Food was delicious, very profesional service and I really recommend special offer for Aperol 😍😍 I will definitely come back again!

Wonderful evening from beginning to end! Dom was outstanding - attentive, welcoming, and kind. Would highly recommend

Five of us came in for lunch today. I asked for some pizza, it wasn't bad, but the good one is not like that... My grandson asked for fried chicken breast - it was a shame. I don't know what British cuisine is like, but the chef at the restaurant has never eaten real fried meat, nor has he even watched a video on how to deal with pulling out a chicken breast that's left too thick. The choice of side dishes doesn't go very well either, otherwise they wouldn't give you potatoes with the sauce. Gordon Ramsey avoids them, but so does Jamie Oliver, who is a big fan of Italian cuisine. All this for 102 pounds... 40 pounds would have been realistic, but for that much money they would have at least tried to trick the guest into leaving satisfied. We asked for and received tap water in a pitcher, they could have thrown a few ice cubes in it, but in the summer it didn't even run for that. I would fire the store manager, the restaurant is in a good location, with care you can't say anything bad about it.

Havnt been to strata in a while, had a brilliant server called Dom, professional and very helpful! Very much will return due to his service for lunch, thanks Dom!

Our service at Strada Southbank along the River Thames was excellent. David was professional and attentive. Pizza was tasty and beer/wine was cold.

Wrong food and wrong drink the food was ok

I recently dined at Strada South Bank in London, and it was disappointing. The food was expensive but clearly pre-cooked and reheated, lacking freshness and flavor. For the price, I expected much better quality. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. (I recently ate at Strada South Bank in London and was disappointed.

Dom was amazing!! Such lovely food and athnosphete

We had such a fun night with friends. Good pizza and amazing service. Thanks Dom!!

Dom Dom Dom, what can we say about Dom. bloody brilliant, service was outstanding and his hospitality was second to none. I wish this man the very best in his endeavours ,he really made our night out fantastic!

Dom was great! Food great and timely. Service was amazing!

Vibes were good, Dom was great!

Visiting London and came across this charming restaurant on the Thames. The atmosphere was most welcoming and the food and service were excellent. Prices were very reasonable too.

We are writing to express our gratitude for the professionalism and care that we received from Fabian that has resulted in our first purchase in Dubai this afternoon. Over the last two days, he has been very proactive in trying to match our criteria whilst ensuring we always felt comfortable and supported in the decisions we were making. As first-time buyers, this is an incredibly important time to ensure we make the best purchase for us and our long term interests and we feel that Fabian completely appreciated this and was honest and clear in answering all our questions. We will certainly be recommending Fabian and hope to use Strada again in the future for future property purchases. Kind Regards,
