I really have to get into the habit of carrying my camera around with me!
A friend and I went to La Strada for dinner on Wednesday night. It was my first time trying this restaurant.
I should preface this by saying that Italian is not my favourite cuisine. I love Indian, Thai and fusion food because of the varied spices, flavours and ingredients, so I tend to find Italian a bit boring.
However, I did enjoy my meal at La Strada. They have recently redecorated and the restaurant looks warm and inviting.
Our starters were the ceasar salad and the beef carpaccio which we shared. I thought both were delicious.
My main was the Pollo Quo Vadis (Chicken in Cognac cream sauce) and was served with a side of Fettucine Alfredo. It was very tasty.
My friends' was the Veal Parmesan and was served with the standard spaghetti with tomato sauce.
She enjoyed this.
For dessert we both had the Tiramisu which was light and fluffy and delicious and made in house.
Our total bill for the above plus a half litre of house red was $85 including taxes. Not bad!
Interestingly for an Italian restaurant, they only have one red and one white wine by the glass and the red is a Merlot which is not even Italian. We felt they should offer at least a Chianti or a Sangiovese by the glass!! Puzzling.
