My wife love Italian foods and while at Lake Lure, which is beautiful in itself, we have often go to La Strata's. The food is excellent and the views are magnificent. I especially love the Baked Penne Ziti with Meat Sauce. This is my favorite. I have also had pizza (delicious), Chicken Parmagiana, Baked Lasagna and more. All the meals... More

I had visited this restaurant a year ago and was extremely pleased. But this time my meal was very expensive and wasn't very satisfying. My Alfredo sauce was bland. My chicken tasted just like it had been frozen. Our waiter was condescending and even poked me several times when asking me a question.

I had the pleasure of eating at LaStrada yesterday (May 1, 2013) for the first time. I had the Lasagna which was amazing. Better than home made. The salad was fresh and the rolls were something else. They were made from the Pizza dough and was brushed with butter and garlic. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful and checked on... More

My first time @ La Strada gets two thumbs up. It was a great dining experience outside on the porch. It was a beautiful day to enjoy a great view of the lake and mountains. Lunch was awesome. The salad was fresh and the Chicken Alfredo was delicious. The chicken was grilled and very tender. The portion was generous (enough... More

Everyone at La Strada's was so wonderful in helping me suprise my husband on his 80th birthday. All of our family was at the restaurant before we arrived and were waiting in a place where he could not see them. He was totally shocked and thrilled when he gazed at the table filled with our two children and six grandchildren.... More

We have dined at La Strada since it opened. Back then, it was occasional, as we lived 2 hours away. But 18 months ago we moved to beautiful Lake Lure, and now we are regulars at this nice restaurant! We most often go for pizza, so can't speak about too many of their menu items, but we have enjoyed everything... More

Our pizza is totally fresh and made from scratch, not frozen, or anything like frozen as you have incorrectly stated. Based on the overwhelmingly positive remarks on our pizza from guests from all over the country (including New York, which is where we are from too), and operating successfully for 39 years, we'll just chalk your comments up to your...
