Always love eating here, but last night it was different. It was busy and at first blush it looked understaffed. However, the two young ladies that were working the floor did such a great job of handling everything. We waited much longer than ever before, but the food and service are worth it. After almost 35 minutes (which has never happened before), we were seated. Our drinks, salad and bread came out immediately. There was a small wait on the entrees, but as always, the food was fantastic. If you love authentic Italian food and live within 15 minutes of this place, I highly recommend.

Had a great meal here on a Sunday night. Get here early! It fills up quick and they are short-staffed. Bring your appetite and a dash of patience. They are doing their best.

Best shank I ever had!!! LaStrada treats their guests better than family. Our waitress was spot on amazing! We had a large group, lots of questions and she communicated with each of us so well. Thank you! Also, this place was hopping for a Monday! Our food was delicious! Thanks to the kitchen people for making it happen! See pics for the best shank in town. Lamb shank to be exact.

Went for my Dads birthday on Saturday night. Had a 6 pm reservation. Nick and team never disappoint! Kayla was our server and she was very attentive. She did a great job of answering questions. There were 6 of us. I had the special with salmon, shrimp, bow tie pasta and pesto sauce. Was DELICIOUS! They always have large servings, so we always have leftovers to take home. We had fried oysters and bruschetta as an appetizer. All meals came out in a timely manner and everyone was extremely pleased! Plus, they brought out a special dessert for the birthday guy. A great local and family-owned restaurant that does a fabulous job!

I found the restaurant on a Google search and ordered take out from their website. From the online menu my order was about $40. When I picked up the order, the price was $55 with no changes to the order. I asked what the reason for the difference and they said the online prices were wrong. I paid the $55, but I asked to speak to the manager. The owner happened to be there, so I got the big boss. I told the owner about the difference in price between the online menu and the store menu. The owner rudely and flippantly stated his restaurant wasnt responsible for the online menus. In this day and age it seems really lazy and wrong to not keep online menus updated.

I thought the food was average, at best. The only outstanding item about this place was the bill. I couldnt imagine the cost if you drank more than tap water and added any kind of dessert.This is kind of fare I cook for my family, after a hard day while exhausted.I have driven past this place for decades in East Cobb. Tonight was the first we went, because my kids asked to go.We all left feeling slightly disappointed.... actually greatly so. There are at least 3 Italian restaurants within 5 miles that cost less and had more flavor.

We had a great experience at this restaurant. Held a birthday party here and Nico went out of his way to accommodate us. The staff was very attentive and the food was wonderful! Hands down, one of the best eating establishments around here.

4 stars for being excellent. (I reserve 5 stars for stellar/outstanding)First time visit on April 2, 2022 after living only 5 minutes from the restaurant for 20 years. Prices are from ~$18 to ~$30 on average. Had the Pasta Trio with a gorgonzola salad. The Trio sampler was delicious. Would recommend. Salad and bread were adequate. We finished off with Chocolate cake. Yum. Our server, Nathan, visited us just enough without being overly attentive. Nice young man. Alcohol/Bar served but I dont drink. Several around us ordered wine. Seating is in close quarters...uh...interment I guess I should say. :Can imagine it might be a little loud with full tables but not sure. LOTS of ceiling fans. Does it get hot here in the day/summer? *shrug* Everyone friendly enough.

This restaurant knows nothing about Italian cuisine!!! It appeared that the local retirement community frequents this awful excuse for a restaurant!! Olive garden is 5 stars compared to this place!

This place was amazing, authentic, fresh Italian food. They take their time to get your plate but is worthy, the food is great, huge portions and the prices are more than fair.

Ive been several times; but, I hadnt gotten to review. Im vegetarian so it was nice to have several options. Not a great place for vegans tho. I did cheat on the dairy that night! Very quaint. Flawless service. Only downside is I felt very close to adjacent tables. This made me feel uncomfortable in the pandemic and allowed me to completely hear everything the tipsy patron at the adjacent table was sharing. Maybe some acoustic paneling? But, Ill definitely be back.

Found our new go-to Italian place! Take out order took a smidge longer than expected. Staff was friendly, overall food was 9/10- the meatballs were a little salty for my taste but good flavor. The Chicken Piccata was very good, and the star of the show was the Farfalle Tricolore. Will definitely visit again to try more menu items.

This place may have been good in 1990 when the sticker on the door says they won some type of acclaim. Everything we ordered tasted frozen, the bread they serve tastes like cheap French bread with garlic and olive oil and sadly it was the onley edible thing. The pork loin was clearly frozen at some point and tasted gamey. The chicken piccata was soggy and the lemon caper sauce was more like lemon water. They did however manage to not overcook my angel hair pasta and the service was great. Someone gave us a giftcard to this place but if I had had to pay for that meal I would have been pretty upset. The servers were great but when the manager came over after we sent our food back he told us the food was cooked perfectly and he had tasted it... he also bragged about how he does 1500 customers a week so it was no skin off his shoulders if we didnt like the food. Meanwhile, the place was completely empty at 7:30pm. The decor and the food is dated, if it was ever good it no longer is save yourself some money and visit another Italian place. Aldos italian restaurant is right up the street and is 10/10.

Food was spectacular,,,staff was very nice, got one dish wrong but brought the correct one quickly. Easily one star off,,, we were seated right next to a grand piano and when the gentleman played and sang, which was most of the time, it was deafening. Not sure Ill go back, the piano is in the center of the place and thats all you hear. What happened to enjoyable background music so people can socialize. Ugh.

Very nice neighborhood/ local feel. Always! 🍝 For me and my eating preferences, they do a tasty and complete presentation for a homey small Italian restaurant. 🥖 Yum…they get it right for me - everytime!! 🤌🏾 Do yourself and yours a favor…give it a try.

The food and service are always exceptional. However, tonight the side salads which cost $5.99 each were comparable to a 2.99 salad anywhere else. Either lower the price or step up.

Gluten Free options available & staff is conscientious of dietary restrictions. Fantastic Italian food & drink in a cozy neighborhood location. Great service & socially distanced with servers wearing masks & hand sanitizer on each table. Lots of options on the menu & everyone was happy with their order. Several chef specials & all of the standard favorites offered. The staff was very accommodating to our special requests. We had to order desert with espresso & every bit was heavenly. If you love Italian food, this is a fantastic spot to visit!

Their food may be good, but their customer service needs some work. When I called to ensure they would be open for take out on Christmas Eve, it would’ve been nice if they let me know they started taking orders at 1 PM. When I called at 5, I was informed they could have my food ready by 9 PM...four hours later. Here’s a freebie, if someone wants to buy your product, make sure they know WHEN to buy the product at the time of the call. I hope this helps you in the future...but my business is going elsewhere.

Stephanie was our server and represented everything that LaStrada is. A perfect Italian experience from the atmosphere to the table settings to the appetizers to just everything! I had the traditional Lasagna with a garden salad and garlic bread. All was wonderful and the price was competitive but worth the experience. Ended the evening with Lime Shubert. The restaurant front is nothing to look at but the hidden treasure is inside!

Ordered lasagna with soup. I only live 13 minutes from restaurant and once I got home the soup was cold not even warm. The lasagna noodles were not fully cooked and I called the restaurant and the so called manager said that the soup won’t be hot from the time I leave til when I get home. The So-called manager said I could warm up the soup and would not take any responsibility for the soup being cold or lasagna not being fully cooked. Basically the so-called manager deflected any fault of his own. Basically I just wasted my hard earned money on a unsatisfactory sorry meal. I might as well thrown the $20.00 dollars out the window of my car. Must be nice for LaStrada to take peoples money and not take any responsibility for a mistake. Or even offer to remake the order for the customer. I guess they are perfect for there service and never make mistakes. SORRY!!!!!!!

My wife and I hired LaStrada to cater a very small at home wedding over the weekend. Even though we were only catering for a party of 12, John, the owner, took the time to meet with us, give us some recommendations on menu choices and amounts, and gave us some deserts to sample. The food - everything from the salad to the desert - was outstanding! We ordered chicken picatta, shrimp and scallops, and sausage and peppers. They included salad and bread, and a zuppa ingelese desert (amazing). We had the perfect amount of food (with just enough leftovers for my wife and me). Im new to the area and have never been to the restaurant, but we will make sure, now that the restaurant is open again for indoor dining, we go in the near future.

Best Italian in Atlanta and the Metro! Family owned and operated, you will feel like family after one visit. If the quality of the food was not enough to boast about, the quality of the service is the cherry on top! You will not be disappointed!

Seriously overpriced for non-homemade pasta and sauce. Service was okay, the young ladies who worked there were great but our server, an older gentleman, was brusque and more interested in his friends at the other tables. Seems to be popular with the older crowd in the area who come to see friends. I hate to say it as I prefer local businesses but I think Olive Garden would be a better price for nearly the same items.

Check out the reviews. Please either love the place or hate it. Id give it 5 stars, but my half-Italian wife ... well, I have to pressure her to go to La Strada. Which we do. 4-5 time each year for two decades. I guess Im one of the patrons that thinks the food and service are priced properly. Looking forward to going back.

This is a local favorite and its clear that they care about their patrons, offering impeccable service, excellent food and wine with an intimate setting. Everything from the calamari appetizer to the main courses (Manicotti, mussels, veal and chicken Marsalato the dessert, was perfectly prepared and delivered. Even a random request for fresh Basil was handled with aplomb. Well worth a visit, special occasion or not.

My wife and I ate at LaStrada and ordered sausage and peppers. We ordered what we thought would be an entree version of the dish which ended up being a pathetic small quantity and the quality too was very disappointing. We were also charged double the appetizer price ($23 each which added further aggravation. We conveyed our concern to the restaurant manager but he was unphased and didnt seem to be very concerned. We have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and we will never go back.

LaStrada has been around forever, and there is a reason. Now, this is a small restaurant, but oh my goodness, the food is fabulous! Because of our crazy life, we do not dine at the restaurant, we prefer to do carry out.We order both chicken and seafood from this restaurant and have not ever been disappointed.

We love this place. Having lived on Marietta for 4 years, we I ly just discovered it. Exterior not a stand out and even inside not amazing decor, but super friendly local Italian food. Home cooked style and always outstanding. Great for couples and families. Great value. Spread the word. Highly recommend.

As good or better than any Italian food in Italy. Our party of five enjoyed each of our entrees. The highlight though, was the mussel appetizer, featuring a delicious wine sauce. Chunks of fresh crunchy Italian bread were perfect for sopping the sauce.Service was attentive but not overbearing, and the atmosphere was cozy. This is the perfect spot for both group dining or an intimate evening out. Wish it were in our town.

Nice menu selection for food and wine. They did confuse a Toscano and a Sangiovese even though they are close. Service was good and there was no wait on a weeknight. Staff smiled and were very friendly.Weve eaten here for on and off over 25 years and you can usually count on a good meal.

Average Italian restaurant that is over priced. Not sure where the 4 or 5 stars are coming from , as I am thinking its because this place has been around in East Cobb for a long time. The patrons are mostly older (50+bracket the three times Ive been here. Twice for birthday events.Still the same result everytime I felt like the food was average at best.I would not recommend!
