Strada - Blackheath in Greenwich

We had our Christmas night out here. Absolutely terrible rude staff, food was cold and disgusting no atmosphere what dso ever you wouldn't think that it was Christmas !!!

10 de nosotros planeamos una celebración de Navidad, a la llegada nos dijeron que las comidas especiales de navidad fueron saliendo como habían acabado, el mismo que habíamos reservado para comer. Decidimos ir con el menú principal y nos dijeron que la carne y pollo también estaba fuera. Con muy poco para comer todos salimos. El personal no podía preocuparse menos todo lo que dijo fue que el lugar era apagar el viernes 22 de diciembre de 2017 la buena para así no tenían comida. Si vas a este establecimiento y luego probar y reservar en otro sitio. Una noche que todos estábamos deseando que se arruinó, no pudimos encontrar en ningún otro sitio. Lo peor de todo nos llamó el día antes para confirmar la reserva y la selección de comidas y sólo me dijeron que todo estaba en orden.

I dined in a Christmas party of about 8 people and we were all blown away by the quality of food and friendly customer service. Can't wait to go back!

very nice atmosphere, staff, food. 10/10!!! everyone should to go and to try this place, because for me best of the best place!!!

We visited Strada, Blackheath on a busy Saturday evening for the Christmas dinner. The whole experience was charming and very enjoyable from the get go. Very pleasant background music, not to loud, very pleasant waitresses, always smiling and helpful giving suggestions on the food. Everything was great!

Amazing lunch in the magnificent Strada restaurant! The service has been impeccable and for sure I want to come back again! The waitress young girl was absolutely fantastic, she knew her job really well and was just wonderful: really attentive, warm, and knowledgable staff.

We had our Christmas party in Strada, Blackheath, our table was downstairs well separated so we could enjoy our celebration with colleagues without disturbing others. Everything was very well organised, we really enjoyed it. Special thanks to the management for making itall so smooth.

Yesterday evening was the second time we've eaten at Strada - Blackheathh, and we've been delighted with the food both times. Very enjoyable, service was good and so was the food, good selection including the Christmas menu all extremely tasty, cocktails were very good too. We were not hurried at all during our visit, very relaxed and enjoyable!

Visitaba a unos amigos en Londres nos reservaron a todos ir a cenar.

Hemos comido en varios Stradas a lo largo de los años, sin embargo, la iteración de blackheath es mejor evitarlo.

Always have a lovely meal and great service, warm and welcoming. We are regulars to Strada , would definitely recommend.

Almost 50 of us were booked for a colleague's surprise 60th birthday party. We had all pre-ordered for 7pm so we were rather surprised to be asked to check our orders when we arrived. The food took ages to come out, apparently there was only one chef which is pretty poor for a party of this size. It was tasty, but not plentiful, unless you'd ordered a main course pasta which was HUGE! Then we had a power cut so we couldn't pay. We'd sorted our table's bill and had cash so we could pay. Of course this, slap meant no desserts or coffees. Not my first choice in future for Italian food.

Our first visit to Strada (Blackheath) was a great disappointment whilst the second saw a vast improvement with both food and service and left us hoping for even greater things in the future. Unfortunately, this was not the case on our third visit - we took advantage of the £5 pizza Monday deal which did not impress. Pizzas were reasonably tasty, but not particularly substantial and seemed slimmed down versions of the norm - not much of a deal here then! Service was average and very matter of fact - no warm welcome, no smile, no interest and not even a thank you for the generous and wholly undeserved tip I very stupidly left at the end (and not even a goodbye!)So, after three visits to Strada and with only one positive outcome, it’s now time to part company with this particular establishment.

Four of us ate for approx £100 which included starter breads and a nice bottle of prosecco. Very tasty chicken and mushroom dishes, one of us had seafood. Friendly service and difficult to find anything to fault !

Ovoid seafood risotto if you like seafood good if you like rice 4 prawns 5 mussels empty good chicken and mushroom excellent sorbet.

This is a clean and friendly restaurant with good and friendly staff and great food with good portions. It also does a lot of special deals and its very child friendly. I think its well situated and near to buses and trains and there is space to park at the station but that would be expensive. Its a lovely place and I have been here many times and never feel rushed. I am planning and have booked another trip here and even though its not my local area .I come here a lot as for me its a real winner. The toilets are clean but a little snug. I think the hand dryer needs a service but otherwise good.

The place has a nice atmosphere, the staff are very helpful and friendly and enjoy going there regularly. If you expect luxury restaurant, you will probably disappointed, but we like the relaxed and friendly vibe, unlike most of the other places in Blackheath.

The worst risotto I have ever even had - tasteless and the rice was not cooked properly. An OK house wine. On other occasion, we were waiting over an hour for the food and when it finally arrived, it was cold and the presentation was terrible. Very bad value.

I took my friend to Strada in Blackheath for her birthday as I've not eaten there for a while. My sea food linguine was tasteless, the sauce watery, and what was meant to be tiger prawns were in fact shrimps. The lack of mussels were tiny and probably from frozen. The dish was completely ruined by what I can only describe as soggy noodles, certainly NOT linguine pasta. My friends pasta with tomato sauce also lacked flavour. There was nothing authentic about our dishes at all. We left our feedback to the waitress to which she responded by saying she would let the chef know. I used to eat here regularly but standards have since dropped. I'am so disappointed with the food and will not be returning.

la pizza molto buona ed economica per londra,infatti al lunedi la servono per 5 sterline.servizio molto cordiale con personale italiano.il locale è sulla strada principale sulla destra arrivando da lewisham.

We've not been for awhile. And it stands to good reason. Sorry excuse for pizza. Stale croutons in the subpar Caesar salad. And the breadstick platter was just undescribable! We're staying away from this place. Pizza express sadly better. As chains go.

Booked a table for 7pm on the Saturday night after a facelift. They have got rid of the wonderful ceiling globes and replaced them with filament lamps! The floor still looks bad. The sea bass was crispy with good green beans and dry roast potatoes. My risotto was a bit too salty. The house rose was very good. The polenta cake was good but the lemon cheesecake would have been better with some cream.

We were surprised on entering the restaurant to find only two other tables occupied. I ordered salmon, cooked rare, which the waiter told me would not be a problem. The manager then came over and said that the chef refuses to cook it that way!! Yet no explanation was given as to why. I am used to being asked how I like salmon cooked, and indeed many restaurants serve salmon seared, therefore rare inside. I can only surmise that the food arrives at Strada already cooked. Whilst I appreciate Strada is more of a fast food chain rather than fine dining I still think they should be able to please the customer. I emailed Strada, no reply. I emailed a second time and got a very unsatisfactory response saying they take advice from an independent food consultancy that advises them not to serve salmon rare!!! Staff training is obviously required. Certainly will not visit any Strada again.

pasta served with no spoon,no parmesan No specials on a Saturday at 19:30 .... bad ..... only told when we asked what they were everyone on handheld devices (that to others might thing they are there mobiles )...... Why not talk to your guests !£84 is extortion..... go get a curry in Blackheath at half the price and better service .The only places that are busy are the ones that aren't chains (how strange ).

Our last visit to Strada was somewhat disappointing, although our impulse visit today indicated an improvement. Our pizzas tasted much better than expected and were of substantial size - we took advantage of the Monday pizza offer (any pizza for £5!). Service was good – the young lady who served us was bright, helpful and obliging. Vegetarian choice is reasonable, although many pizzas can be adapted to suit veggies. The House Red was passable (something called Arpeggio!) but you’d be wise to spend a bit more on something else, which we did for the second bottle. Verdict: An enjoyable lunch – unfortunately, half points cannot be given, but feel that Strada should have three and a half points on this occasion rather than just the three. We shall visit again in the hope that its improved standards are maintained. One small moan – the fabric wall seating appeared quite mucky in places, with remnants of food noted on the surface that could end up on the seat of your pants - perhaps from careless wiping of tables?

Pre booked table for 4 on a busy pre-Xmas Friday night.Service was attentive, friendly, engaging and amusing. Nut allergy questions and concerns were clearly answered and dealt with promptly.Good choice of food enjoying prawns and tapas for starters with tagliatelle, chicken casa-recce and sirloin steak mains. A bottle of Prosecco was good value with the waitress skills being challenged fitting all the food onto a table laden with beer and water. Special thanks to the waitress running out to advise of a left behind handbag.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here, in a very busy pre- Christmas week. I t was good to relax in the pleasant ambiance of Strada.We shared the Italian breads as a starter- delicious and really fresh.I had mushroom tortelloni, which was very tasty and cooked al dente; my daughter enjoyed her beautifully cooked sea bass.We drank a light Italian white wine, which accompanied our selected dishes well.Service is friendly and efficient, and the prices are pretty reasonable for a restaurant of this quality-especially as they have a very varied menu.We shall definitely be returning!

Bad service. Cold food. House salad- no rocket, soft well past their best tomatoes, no olives ( instead cucumber ) no 'house dressing' chips 'in their jackets' just normal skinny fries. Will not return

I ordered carbonara and asked them not to include the bacon as I'm a vegetarian. You've guessed it - my meal arrived with the bacon so was sent straight back. It was returned to me 2 minutes later, bacon removed, new dish and a garnish plopped on top. I find it unacceptable for someone to pick off the meat in what I had asked to be a vegetarian option. The dish should have been cooked again from scratch. There was a watery lukewarm puddle of cream in the bottom of my bowl, rather than an unctuous sauce coating the spaghetti. These guys don't know what a carbonara is, there is no cream in it! Strada Blackheath used to be so much better, they can't even get simple thing like a bowl of pasta right these days. Very disappointing. On the plus side, the staff are very helpful and efficient and the pizzas are good, great thin bases.

Good food - standard slightly upmarket Italian - but what made it great was the friendly and helpful staff.

Had dinner with friends at Strada. Service friendly and not rushed. Food lovely. Would eat here again!

The pizza is excellent, the best I've had for a very long time. The experience gets even better when you can use one of their promotions, like 40% off main course, which I was lucky enough to get.

Came here without a reservation and it was not a problem. We had a welcome greeting and were shown to our table. I liked the ambience and it was nice to be able to see into the villlage as well. The meal was nice and it was salmon with beans of various descriptions. We also had orange and wine. The puddings were nice and we were full. I think it was just the right amount of food and the service was good. They did forget the starters but took it off the bill. I think its a nice clean restaurant and not expensive. I will be returning soon. Toilets well sign posted and clean. I dont know if they would be wheelchair friendly and if they are baby friendly. I saw a child in the restaurant but would not be sure if it has any baby chairs or any baby changing facilities.

Great little restaurant, good service, reliable, good menu. Good ambience, clean. Our group had to find a local convenient place to eat and this fitted the bill.

Beautifully cooked pizza a world away from other chains. Very good and friendly service and excellent value. Waitress Liveta charming and efficient.

We book a table.for.four at Strada Balckheath as my friend from Malta was.coming to see us.We had a great service and a very enjoyable evening.I am always scare to go in these big chaine restaurant but it was a real pleasure.We ve been look after from start to beguinningI d like to thanks Liveta and Gulyora they was absolutly lovely.The customers with the gourmet card.See you soon.

Had a lovely meal here last Sunday. Regina the waitress was very pleasant and most helpful, very interesting to talk to. Will definitely go again.Jackie

I usually avoid chains -- the food is often bland and the service apathetic. My boyfriend and I stopped in this Strada for a lunch special, however, and were surprised at the quality of the experience. The service was excellent -- we appreciated how attentive and friendly the staff were. And the food was a pleasant surprise as well, well-presented and flavoursome. We felt it was food worthy of a trip out. Compared to a recent mediocre experience at Carluccio's, this Strada really stands out.

My second lunchtime visit in a month, and very pleased, except for the non-availability of their delicious arancini. Service prompt, except for getting the bill. Portions are generous, so this time I had 2 starters. Friend and I live within walking distance, so can't comment on parking. Buses 54, 202' 108 and 89 stop very close by.

This was our 1st visit to this restaurant. The staff Eva, Tarik & Livetta were very helpful and also accommodated our needs regarding my fussy son. The restaurant was also clean & tidy. We Would recommend this for great food. We also loved the chilli oil.........

Enjoyed another pleasant visit last weekend. Great food and very good service, the staff are always very obliging. The only negative is that we thought the portion of Crab Linguini could do with being slightly bigger.

Restaurant chains are not really our thing – the food is over-priced and never as good as that found in family-run establishments, whilst the constantly changing workforce is often inexperienced, void of personality and clueless with regard to what’s on the menu or what entails good customer service. Strada (Blackheath) is no exception! We came on a whim (our first ever visit to a Strada branch) because our usual pizza haunt was out of action. On entering, we stood inside like lemons for a full two minutes before someone bothered to acknowledge us. We were then sat down with a couple of menus on a filthy table that was eventually cleared and prepared in front of us. On the plus side, the menu provides reasonable choice for vegetarians, although our pizzas were very average and on the small size. A bottle of Montepulciano D'Abbruzzo proved equally unremarkable – glasses were dirty and had to be replaced.Our final bill didn’t quite break the bank (about £40 for a couple of pizzas and a bottle of wine), although nothing today (including service) was particularly good – didn’t bother to leave a tip. Perhaps other Strada branches might give a more favourable impression, although I can’t be bothered to find out after today's experience. Definitely a last resort establishment - and not for the discerning diner!

Ate here on a Monday night. First time to Blackheath Strada ,unfortunately it will be the last unless improves. Had the calamari for starter, a few rings of squid then a lot of batter crumbs in the bottom of bowl,very disappointing, one of party had garlic bread with cheese, we had to call the waitress to point out where the cheese was. Florentina pizza was uninspiring and had a lot of crust compared to topping.Pasta dishes were nice and served hot.The service was ok although we had to ask several times or water,extra napkins etc.The only bonus was we had a voucher for a free bottle of prosecco due a birthday.It was very good and we purchased a second one.There are a lot of places to eat in Blackheath and Strada needs to improve to compete. I have eaten several times at Strada in Stratford Westfield and they have got it spot on all round so maybe lessons to be learned.

I went here with my friends for a lovely lunch which was really tasty. We were greeted by the staff in a warm way and had a lovely table. The restaurant is nice and cleverly used mirrors make it look bigger. The meal was well presented and also the staff attentive and not too attentive. The meal was delicious and hot ....served quickly and the waitress had a nice personality. I would say it was reasonably priced. The facilities although clean were very snug and difficult to access but did have baby changing facilities which were ok but not very much room to use them. I did not see a wheelchair accessed toilet. We were there for hours and did not feel at all rushed which was important for us as a group.The main thing for us was the fact we did not feel rushed at all and the easy access to the trains and buses and also easy parking.It was nicely decorated and clean. It is also nicely placed in Blackheath and well done to the staff here. They seemed to enjoy their jobs

so slow and the food worse than average. I used to like this place as was good food reasonably priced with good service. Even for a £5 pizza I won't be going back. Post a review when its gets better please, meanwhile we are spolied for choice in Blackheath for eating out and on a Monday night there are loads of deals about.

As a group of friends from the surrounding area, we have often eaten at this restaurant as it is central for all of us.However, although the food is good, the last couple of times we have been less than pleased with the service. Perhaps more staff are needed?

Very disappointed. Ordered seafood linguine found very little seafood, sauce consisted of plum tomatoes and decorated with mussel shells. Salad ok.

My parter and I often enjoy going out for dinner and thought we would try this as we had a taste card and it's close to home. However, I'm sad to say I was thoroughly disappointed. Although my wine was lovely and the service was good the food was a severe let down. I ordered mushroom and truffle bruschetta to start however there was no truffle to taste and the mushrooms were incredible chewy. My partner ordered the crispy squid which was essentially just batter and rubber. For our mains I had veal which had little to no taste at all and what taste it did have was poor and cheap. The carbonara was lacking in just about everything tasty and very oily. We mentioned this all to the manager and he kindly told us we were not paying for the meal which is fair. I am sorry to say it was a very poor meal and that neither of us will be returning to this one in Blackheath or any other Strada for that matter which is a shame.

Service was good but food forgettable .... Not quality it used to be . Burgers was not fantastic and my daughters margarita pizza very dry as was the garlic bread

What on earth has happened here, used to be a great place to eat but has now gone down hill rapidly. Food quality was really bad, will never eat here again.

My sister and I had a very bad experience at this restaurant. First when we ordered sea bass we were told there wasn't any, so my sister ordered the burger with Tagglegio cheese and avocado dressing, the only burger option on the menu. When it arrived, there was no cheese so we queried it with the waitress who cheekily said "It was too late to change the order"! She was insistent my sister had asked for no cheese which was completely untrue (she hadn't even taken our order!), and the so-called avocado salsa consisted of 3 pieces of avocado which they charged an extra pound for! The burger itself was very burnt on the outside and dry. My seafood pasta was supposed to include tiger prawns but what was in this dish were a few little prawns hardly bigger than shrimps and about 4 mussels, plus it was bland and tasteless, no nice sauce as you usually get with this dish in proper Italian restaurants. It was so dry dull, bland and tasteless I couldn't finish it. The meals that arrived were not as described on the menu, so we felt misled and cheated. At least they had the decency to take the price of the burger off our bill, but we'll never ever go there again until there is a complete change of staff - chef especially, and the cheeky waitress has gone. A terrible meal and experience.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere due to the kind and attentive waiters and waitresses. We always have a great experience at this particular branch due to the comical staff members who make great conversation. The employees were completely at ease under the pressure of a busy Sunday. They deserve praise.

Quiet on a Wednesday evening. Visited in group of four. Nice cocktails. Fairly basic menu, I had aran ini to start and then a burger and they were able to swap the fries for a salad but forgot the dressing! Caprese starter was good but main sirloin steak was average. Rest of the meal was rather forgettable.

The young chap- small with tattoos, he provided a great service. Made everybody smile and laugh, very helpful- a natural, sharp and very likable fellow. The food itself was nice. The deals aren't so great. We had two vouchers for 25% for six people. There were 12 of us and we wanted to split them between us but this wasn't a possibility which is pretty shoddy.

The lady who served us throughout our visit was very helpful and nice, excellent customer service skills. She had total control of all tables. The food itself, wasnt the best. Would have preferred to get a dominos or something tbh. The pasta we ordered was bland despite it being chicken and mushroom. Will probably still go again as it is a lovely atmosphere. The deserts are really good

Had a meal here with friends from work. It's all right, but not great. There are better Italian restaurants locally. Staff were friendly. If you go try the Lemon Spritz cocktail!

Romantic dinner with a nice view!! Really expensive like 80£ for two starter two pizza and two glass of wine the service wasn't bad

Have used this many times before but something has gone drastically wrong. Called in for a quick lunch, only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starters and mains, starter arrived one dish forgotten. 1 hour later the mains arrived despite numerous requests to hurry up. Both pasta and pizza completely undercooked. Complained and the dishes were sent back. How can anyone not know how to cook pizza and pasta. Seriously avoid this place till they sort it out. Visited November 2015I was so disappointed by the decline of this restaurant that I phoned their head office the same day. I was promised a call back from the area manager within two days. Five days later, after no contact I called the head office again. Had a long chat with an employee, whose name I can provide if anyone is interested. She admitted their were problems and after 20 mins. of corporate speak about brand values, customer loyalty etc etc. promised to send some vouchers and an explanation. Needless to say 6 weeks later no vouchers and no explanation. I wasn't interested in the vouchers as I probably would not eat there again anyway. Just goes to show how much this company actually value customers. Incidentally every time I have walked past the restaurant is virtually empty, obviously other people are voting with their feet. Such a shame!

Grabbed an email offer which came through as a Black Friday offer, (although they seem to send out weekly offers!) There was a mix up and they could not find my reservation, but allowed us to take advantage of the offer anyway after a bit of a debacle!Children were delighted, it was busy and portions did seem smaller than usual, particularly for the pizzas, but it was excellent value on the basis of the offer!

Blackheath Strada is small but friendly, I like the way the restaurant is laid out and there is enough space between tables without it feeling cramped. I always find eating out in December a bit hit and miss. However, I am pleased to say my recent trip to Strada was very enjoyable. The Christmas menu was a bit of surprise but we all found something to order.The food is reliably good and well presented - just what I expect from a chain. The service is prompt and efficient without being intrusive. We used a tastecard so it was good value, having said that I would eat there without using one.

There were 17 of us and only one person was happy with their meal, which arrived after waiting nearly two hours after the starter. Her plate and meal were hot which none of the rest were lucky enough to enjoy.We did complain and got a reasonable discount but it is the actual quality of the food that I want to complain about. I had a risotto that was simply a pile of unflavoured white rice topped with some burnt squash and an unidentifiable green thing. Worst of all it had a broken sweet macaroon on the top. I don't think the chef can have ever heard of or seen a risotto in his life!

Have used this many times before but something has gone drastically wrong. Called in for a quick lunch, only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starters and mains, starter arrived one dish forgotten. 1 hour later the mains arrived despite numerous requests to hurry up. Both pasta and pitza completely undercooked. Complained and the dishes were sent back. How can anyone not know how to cook pitza and pasta. Seriously avoid this place till they sort it out.

Lunch today. Bread thrown on a large plate. Calamari sprinkled with smoked paprika - why? Horrible mains - served in really cold plate/bowls. Chicken luke warm with half cooked potatoes. Pumpkin pasta with - and I kid you not - crumbled amaretti sweet biscuits. Parmesan cheese grated in kitchen sparsely. Waitress couldn't care less about complaints. Presented full price bill despite complaints. Finally asked manager to reduce bill by 20%. Not enough!!! We will never go back. This was a nice local restaurant. What on earth has happened. Cost-cutting clearly. It won't survive with this menu or attitude. AVOID.

I took my son for pizza yesterday. We were warmly greeted and well looked after but the pizzas were frankly awful. I couldn't detect any mozzarella on my pizza, the rocket looked old and limp and the base was dry and crunchy, partly due to the lack of topping, partly due to being overcooked. We decided not to have dessert as we thought it would be a waste of money. Food used to be good but this was really poor.

I went to the Blackheath branch for dinner last night with my family. Unfortunately it was probably the worst Italian meal I have had for many years. 3 of us had Pizza - every one of them was deficient in the same way - the base was tasteless, the tomato sauce was made from puree and dried herbs, the cheese and toppings were minimal, and to top it all, they arrived luke-warm. My daughter had the Caprese - even for a starter portion it had a miniscule amount of mozarella. Being a school, night I chose not to send all the food back - we didn't have the time to wait for a new order to be made. I paid the bill and told the above to the manager before we left. He didn't offer any apologies and didn't really seem to care. I am disappointed as I was a an early customer and fan of the very first Strada in Exmouth Market. What a pity you haven't managed to maintain consistent quality. By the way, if you are interested in good Italian food in Blackheath, I can recommend Bianco which is literally next door. I've never had a poor meal there and regret not sticking to it last night!

Wed with a large group. The waitress did her best to cope with a very busy restaurant but the food was absolutely appalling. Dry, over-cooked burgers very disappointing pizzas.

The food is okay, the pizza were a bit overly crunchy for my taste and not much to separate them from other chain offerings. A decent enough cheap'ish eat with a taste card.

We were here on a Sunday evening, restaurant was not busy but still had a good atmosphere. Food was well-cooked and tasty.Plenty of choice available. Waiter was friendly and anxious to please, especially towards the two children in our family group.

Went there for a 3 course 28 quid Amazon deal for 2 then 2 small glasses of wine and some garlic bread brought it to 43 quid So got to say most crap meal I have had for a very long time. My fault !!! I didn't realize it was some junk food chain !! Starters were cheap frozen Whitebait -absolutely tasteless- mains some deep fried fish bits no vegetables or salad really rubbish-- sweets not bad service ok Would I go back - NO WAY - Imagine if I had paid normal price - even more gutted !!!

A really nice restaurant catering for all ages. Really impressed with waitresses, just couldn't have been nicer and great with my Grand Daughter. Thoroughly recommend for a good value excellent meal and great service with a lovely smile. Well done Strada.

If you want to eat fake Italian you will really enjoy your food. The staff is really rude. we will never going back.

we went in restaurant 15 mins early, got straight in, ordered drinks then ordered meal calamari for starter it was lovely. and tagliatelle bolognese for main, cheesecake for desert was lovely i recommend that, service was great and fast staff were very friendly and polite, will go back. restaurant and toilets were clean,

Local to us and we use it for suppers with friends or instead of cooking. Like the tomato and pesto flatbread basket. It's modern Italian; you know what's on the menu but it's well presented and flavoursome. David Lloyd cards get a good discount.I find the tables too close for comfort, especially those down the edge of the room. It's a good place for families but now days we avoid weekend lunches as it gets noisy with an excess of highchairs. Shows our age no doubt!

We went to this restaurant to try a new restaurant in Blackheath and waited for over 30 minutes for someone to come and take our order.In the end, we just walked out.Go to another restaurant in the village - there are plenty of great ones but this is not one in terms of service!

This was my second visit to a Strada on consecutive nights, as my first experience was very positive. All 4 of us had excellent meals and good wine, served by a very nice, helpful young lady. I will certainly look out for more Strada Restaurants on my travels.Recommended for families, something for everyone......

I wanted a good night out with my wife so I called Strada and they managed to arrange a table for 2 at short notice. This was a great start. Got there, the seating arrangement is a bit crowded. We ordered calamari for starters, the wife had a salad main course. My main was the seafood risotto. Calamari starters came very quickly (2 minutes) which surprised me as cooked food shouldn't arrive so quickly. Starters a bit oily. Wife's main (salad) was ok according to her. My main (seafood risotto) was watery and nothing like a risotto . The rice was a long grain and not sticky like a risotto nor having a bit of a bite. I was disappointed with my main. Staff were attentive but the chef didn't have a good day. Got menu for desserts but no comeback from staff for 15 minutes which was a shame given the attention at getting me a table at short notice, so just requested the bill. A bit of a shame and quick end to the evening.

Good food, delicious and plenty of choice, very cheerful and helpful staff in spite of it being very late.

Decent enough little place. Service was fine and food was good I think that is all ppl want to here. Also clean. Could do with a bigger toilet only one toilet for the men shared with the disabled not a problem but when the restaurant is full you don't really want to be Q-ing into the seating area.

Very nice staff, very fast service, great food & reasonably priced. Nice quiet restaurant in a good location from where I live.

i just live around the corner and this restaurant use to be very good.But my last visit it so bad and slow service last Thursday night..I will never go back,

Italian restaurants for the family generally follow a formula and we all know what to expect. Good to see a decent risotto on offer and the pizza seemed to be cooked at an authentic high heat. Not much emphasis on the secundi platti which would be the focus in a genuine meal. Puddings especially cioccolato fondente were better rival restaurant chains. Staff helpful. Good location for Blackheath Halls show to follow

We didn't expect very much from this Strada because it is a chain. However, the food was really excellent. It felt genuinely fresh and Italian. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. We shared a mixed starter (which possibly could have served 4!) then had different mains. My husband had pork saltimbocca and I had the sea bass. Unfortunately we were driving, so were unable to enjoy a glass of wine with it, which would have just finished it off perfectly.

i like extra garlic i asked and it was no problem at all.its easy walking distance from hotel so no worry about parking very helpful staff

Took my Mother here for lunch on her birthday. Booked online pointing out it was her birthday. 3 out of 4 mains arrived- we waited and waited then asked waiter for the 4th. He said it was on its way. Also sent back one main as it was cold. We waited. Then chased again- the re-heated and missing mains finally turned up 20 mins later! The other two had almost finished. Complained. Said disappointed. Told by waitress that she hadn't forgotten. It was the chef's fault. Food was good. On leaving I saw a new face- the manager. Told him abt our experience and that last time we had been was abt 2 years' ago when waiters were so busy chatting we weren't even seated, so left. I said either his staff hadn't told him of our experience or they had and he just couldn't be bothered to come and apologise. Either way it was unacceptable. Pointed out my Mother's birthday and really let down by the whole experience and would not return. Confirmed I would write to Strada and also review on Trip Adviser. Blackheath Strada is not worth going to- food ok, but service lets it down time and again. Why can't they get it right- have been to other Stradas and all have been good.

we ate here on our first night in Blackheath and had a lovely meal. Genuine Italian food, fresh and beautifully served. The restaurant had low lighting, which I like, service was quick and friendly. My sweet was chocolate fondant, lovely and gooey inside, yum! I would certainly recommend it.

Very quick service, tasty food, small portions and slightly about prices for what it's worth BUT they happily accepted my promotional voucher of 'Buy one main meal, get another free' which left our bill for two mains, two sides and two drinks at £27. Amazing!! They seem to always have promotional deals online so it's definitely worth taking a look. =Very friendly male staff, one grumpy women made a remark of "Yes, you are late" when we were 20minutes late for a our reservation, but the restaurant was empty so this employee really didn't need to take a dig after we had kindly apologised! Apart from her, everything was amazing!!

Me and my boyfriend decided to go to Strada in Blackheath for our 2nd anniversary. Upon arriving we were greeted by a very welcoming host and shown to our table. We have been to Strada many times including this branch and were unaware the menu changed (for drinks and food). They seem to have removed all of their cocktails and replaced them with prosecco mixers. We were looking forward to having one of their raspberry Collins but this had been removed. I decided on a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and my boyfriend had a bottle of beer. I had the calamari and my partner had bread with olive oil and balsamic for starters. This came out within 10 minutes of our order which was lovely.For our mains I have the seafood linguini and my boyfriend had the vesuvio pizza. We both enjoyed our mains and were asked by our host how we were enjoying our food, in which we replied "amazing".The price was acceptable, however we did use a discount code via voucher cloud. We will definitely return as we had a delightful experience and would highly recommend this branch.

It was New Year's Eve and our party of 8 had to pre-order which makes it a production line rather than a culinary experience but anyhoo - if it helps the kitchen. But it didn't!!the place was about half full and still there were endless delays before every meal and always someone who's meal was forgotten and came out about 15 minutes after everyone else's. The maître d' and our waiter were pleasant but seemed overwhelmed and incapable of managing the situation by telling us they were short staffed and sorry and here's a couple if bottles of wine. Even the wine took an hour to arrive. My big spaghetti dish was good but this place needs some serious communications training!

I visited the restaurant with my partner on a Friday night around 6.30pm. I expected we wouldn't get a table as we hadn't booked. When we inquired at the door about a table for two people, the waiter checked his bookings then promptly showed us to a free table which was fantastic!. We were asked for drinks a few minutes later and received them quickly, we ordered food shortly after. The waiter checked once-which was appropriate-if we were enjoying our food. I very much enjoyed my pasta and it was a good portioned size. We ordered desserts too as i used my Tesco Vouchers. Overall a nice experience and good food in a small restaurant with great team work from the staff.

I went here with a friend for brunch. They have a good number of choices on the menu and the prices are very reasonable. I opted for sourdough toast with mushrooms in truffle oil and scrambled egg. It was very tasty and a good sized portion. My friend had sourdough toast with mashed avocado and pancetta, she too enjoyed this. The service was very friendly and fast. I would definitely recommend for weekend breakfast/brunch.

I visited Strada Blackheath on Friday 24th October with three friends. One of the party had strict dietary requirements but the waiter took details to the Chef who happily obliged by providing food within the boundaries of our friends diet.Food was good and waiter service excellent.

Blackheath has a glut of Italian eateries. However, I would suggest that Blackheath is not spoilt by this glut, as some of them are highly questionable in terms of value, food standards and service. However, I would put Strada firmly on the list of Italian restaurants you can trust in. In October, I visited the restaurant on 2 occasions. Once with my son, on the other occasion with a friend. Both occasions provided prompt service, and fairly good value for money. As starters go, the antipasto for 1 represents great value and quality. The gamberoni was also executed with great quality, but just a tad expensive. On both occasions, I devoured their pizzas. The base and edges to both taut, flavoursome and crispy. The first time I visited, the Vesuvio pizza was sheer perfection. The second occasion, the carne Toscana pizza slightly bland in terms of flavour, but generous in terms of toppings. My son is 8, has Italian extraction in him on his mother's side, and has visited Italy on a few occasions. He simply loves Italian food, and is never disappointed in visiting this restaurant. Although Strada is part of a sizeable chain, their restaurants do have a sense of individuality of their own. Not a place for a romantic date I hasten to add, but a relaxed, modern eatery. Well done to Strada Blackheath for presenting an honestly priced menu and we'll staffed floor and kitchen.

I love this place and better is the vouchers I always receive by e-mail! This helps not only to safe money, but encourage you to invite friends out for diner. Luv it!

Superb pizzas and pastas, lovely selection of breads and great puddings. What's not to love? I would definitely recommend this place.

It was a Friday night and we hadn't booked, but we were easily able to get a table for four, which in my mind meant the restaurant wasn't busy. So if it wasn't busy what was everyone doing? On every occasion I had to call someone over to take our drinks order, our food order, another drinks order (glasses were clearly empty) and finally to pay the bill. That said when our waiter did come to the table, he was polite, cheerful and knowledgeable about which items were or could be made gluten-free.When the food did arrive (which in fairness didn't take long), it was okay. My standard of okay means that there's nothing to complain about, but equally I won't be asking the chef for his recipe or cooking tips.As an aside, if you do fancy going to Strada, there are usually some deals going around, so use Google before you go.

Had really nice night at Strada recently. Service was friendly and the waiter took time to explain and answer any questions we had, the food tastes authentic rather than a chain that's trying to be Italian, really good quality and fair sized portions. The pesto pomodoro bread is one of the best things on the menu! for mains we had a chicken pasta dish which just has the right amount of sauce without being too sickly. Pizzas great as well. All in all I think Strada Blackheath is a good choice in a village with a high amount of other restaurants.

Not as good as the first time really, felt a bit rushed (It was a Monday night and not that busy) My medium steak was more rare than anything else but I should have got that dealt with on the night.Service less good than the last time,

We enjoyed our breakfast here while watching the happenings of the village go by. Apparently they have just recently begun serving breakfast and we were a little nervous that there weren't many patrons there, but our server was very nice and we quickly relaxed with a mimosa while we waited. The atmosphere was very cozy and the food came hot and delicious. As we finished the lunch crowd started filling up the place which we were glad to see. We will return here on our next visit to try lunch or dinner. Very enjoyable !

Busy Sat night, booked a table. Ordered food and drink which was delivered smartly, given a taste of the wine before ordering, very good. Food was tasty, hot and well presented. No rush to leave. Bill came when asked and paid without fuss. A very satisfactory night. Everything you would want.

Every time I visit Blackheath I love to meet a few friends at Strada for an informal Italian meal. Although it's part of a chain, the food quality is relatively good and we always leave with a satisfied look on our faces. We usually start with the tasty castelvetrano olives,followed by a pizza or a plate of pasta. The fiorentina pizza is one of our favourites and suitable for vegetarians too. The Minini Primitivo is a good value far money red wine and if there's still some space left ill try one of the desserts. When Monica's there service is slways very good.
