My wife & I wanted to have a romantic dinner to celebrate our anniversary. She's a nut for raviolis, so I asked around - "Where can I take my wife for the best raviolis in Reno?" The consensus answer: La Strada in the Eldorado. I made a reservation (its a good idea to make sure you can get in!) We arrived a few minutes early, so we had some wine in the bar at the entrance to the restaurant. It was quiet, cozy, & private... it was hard to believe that only a few yards away was the casino floor. Really good house red wine!
My wife ordered the chef's special: a 4-course meal of the chef's choosing... she's a lot braver than I am. We made a request that one of the courses be a ravioli, but the rest were up to the chef. She was not disappointed... her favorites were the mushroom ravioli & the chef's surprise shrimp dish. Top notch food, great service - the waiter was around when we wanted him, without hovering & interrupting the meal.
I had spaghetti bolognese... really, really good. Right up there with the best I've had, & reminiscent of one of the best meals my wife & I enjoyed in Rome several years ago.
If you're visiting Reno or you live here & are looking for really great Italian food, you can't go wrong here.
