About Stresa
Set inside the swanky Ramada Hotel and Suites in London’s Docklands, next door to the Excel centre, Stresa is an upmarket Italian restaurant dishing up traditional Mediterranean cuisine. The spacious dining room is decorated in a contemporary brasserie style with wooden furniture and cappuccino-coloured walls, and the restaurant is popular with corporate diners and Excel visitors during the week and local families on the weekends. The service here is super-friendly, and signature Stresa dishes include the Caprino pizza made with goat’s cheese, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, fresh basil, olives and tomatoes; the Al Fredo tagliatelle in a cream, egg and parmesan sauce; and the sea bass cooked with fennel and herbs.
