I rely heavily on tripadvisor when travelling. In this case this is one of my home town favourites. Consistant food and nice atmosphere. The calamari, the zucchini sticks and the shrimp with pasta are outstanding-excellent service too. Italian family run restaurant.

La Strada is an italian family restaurant. Elegant ambient Been there three times. The first time I was surprised by the quality of the food, but I suspected it was just luck. So I've been there two more times and I realized that it was not just luck. The courses are made by real high quality food, cooked in the... More

Looking for a reliably good meal? La Strada won't let you down. This long standing Glebe favorite offers good Italian basics and a few off menu extras (the rack of lamb) for reasonable prices in a comfy if staid setting. This is where many Ottawa families celebrate birthdays and family events though you wont see VERY young kids here often... More

The zucchini sticks are worth 5 stars but the pasta me and my partner had was for me over cooked and for him under cooked. The staff was very nice!.... Except the guy a coat check he was a little weird but overall the restaurant was pretty decent

We have been at that restaurant 3 times this year, our last visit was early December 2011. If you can get passed the unpleasant guy greeting you at the door (must be a family member of the owner...) you're in for a good italian meal, prepared with attention to details. The waiters were attentive to details each time we went... More

We were not the only festive group and the restaurant was very loud. We have been there before, and we believe it used to have window curtains and carpeting. We would like... More

La Strada delights with its great Internalional-Italian cusine. The quality is fantastic for a menu that offers such a vast variety of pleasures. The service is excellent, friendly and attentive. The decor is beautiful and classy yet the atmosphere is quaint and friendly; balanced in good harmony. Defintely, one of Ottawa' best for years. Dominic Monaco

It's been several years since I've been to La Strada after moving from Ottawa and my memories and anticipation of great food were lived up to. Great service and superb food.

I thought it was good. The rapini was excellent, the artichokes not so much. The gnocchi was good but the seafood smelled wonderful. Eating outside was lovely and the service was excellent.
