As a regular Strada customer I was totally appalled by the food and the service at the Strada in Billericay. The service was disgraceful, the waitress was rude and arrogant and really couldn't be bothered. Once the food was served we never saw the waitress again, it took ages to get a drink and to pay the bill. I ordered a pasta dish that I have had on several occasions and it was like boiled pasta in dirty dish water. Would not recommend this Strada to anyone. ]]> Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:59:37 +0000 359-925 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/billericay-venues/billericay-restaurants/strada-billericay-essex.html Went with my partner last Wednesday thinking of having a nice quiet night out and did not book. The restaurant was heaving but managed to get a table in a cosy area towards the front of the restaurant. Had to wait a bit for the food but the staff was very friendly and we were well looked after considering the place was packed. When asked for the bill the manager brought us a complimentary limoncello which I thought was a very nice gesture. Will definetely go back but I would recommend to book a table. ]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:47:46 +0100 359-323 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/billericay-venues/billericay-restaurants/strada-billericay-essex.html The restaurant is very lovely and has a good atmosphere and music. the service is very good and dressed smartly. The food is above par but bit pricey. one bad thing was it took ages for the food, with only 2 tables. both with 2 people on each table. it felt like the chef had driven to southend and back for the seafood..
generally very good. ]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:40:07 +0100 359-107 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/billericay-venues/billericay-restaurants/strada-billericay-essex.html 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. ]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2008 20:25:00 +0000 359-92 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/billericay-venues/billericay-restaurants/strada-billericay-essex.html 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'. ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:18:21 +0000 359-36 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/billericay-venues/billericay-restaurants/strada-billericay-essex.html 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. ]]> Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:35:27 +0000
