A more upmarket chain restaurant serving great pizza and pasta. Food is freshly prepared and consistently good. It's a good value for money evening out. Informal, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The latest addition to the string of mediocre Italian chain restaurants already on Billericay High Street. When will the locals demand something other than a menu consisting of garlic bread and caesar salads to start followed by mains of either penne pasta (complete with bland tomato sauce), the standard overly-cooked steak or a lack lustre fish creation!?

To be fair Strada is not a terrible restaurant by any means. The food was perfectly reasonable and the service fairly good. Possibly slightly overpriced but nicely done out inside. All in all it meets the full critera of an uninspired restaurant for a gastronomically uninspired town.

Fingers crossed that if they do enough business perhaps someone can justify opening a Pizza Express to complete the town's 'Italian Collection'.

Strada joined the increasing number of restaurants on Billericay High Street several months ago. I am glad to say it's a positive addition. I have been to this branch of Strada three times and it has scored consistantly for me. Food is tasty with a good range to choose from and daily specials. The wine list is as you would expect from a chain restaurant but does have some super ones to pick from. I have found that our bill has been very reasonable each time.

The ambiance is good although noisy when busy as there is a real echo problem! I'm sure that after a glass of vino you'll notice this less though.

This is no gastronomic top restaurant but a sure bet for good food, wine and a relaxed nighht out.
