Strada - Kensington
About Strada - Kensington
The number of Strada restaurants in London reached double figures a while ago. That it continues to rise comes as little surprise to the many of us who've eaten there. Strada's deserved popularity rests on its consistent offering - simple, top quality Italian food at prices that don't hurt the pocket. The ground floor of the Kensington branch is a cosy, smart den frequented by journalists and business people by day; tourists, foreign locals and Albert Hall visitors by night. Woodfired oven-baked pizzas are large, thin crust and very tasty. Bestsellers, however, are the meat grills. New specials are introduced regularly. A good, affordable all-Italian wine list and adorable staff complete the happy picture.
