Lastrada Italian Restaurant

Top Italian destination in St. Augustine. Great selection of wines.
We had the stuff mushrooms with crab followed by a fresh salad, warm home made bread with a tomato roasted garlic and peppers in what i affectionally refer to as a real Italian salsa. The entrees were Sicilian sausage with fettuccine and the other was a fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp both done perfectly. Best Italian sausage I have ever had. Must go if you like Italian food.

I love this place, we are local and eat here several times a year and the food is always amazing!

Very good restaurant, has the Italian charm inside, the staff was very friendly despite us arriving about 30 – 40 minutes before they closed. I ordered the daily special which was the ribeye which came with a side of salad and a side of pasta. Their marinara sauce is very good and the pasta was spot on. The tomatoes from the salad had one of those cracks in the skin that should have probably cut out and were probably overlooked but their balsamic vinegar sauce was good. The ribeye needed some salt and pepper before going on the grill, but was tender and juicy. Overall good experience and I would definitely go back and recommend.

This place is a hidden gem with the not only the BEST Italian food but some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life! this is 100% authentic and made to order. Nothing is premade and waiting around here. We ate here twice on our trip it was so good. It’s prefect for a romantic night out.
First, DO NOT BE IN A HURRY if you are going to eat here. They make everything fresh to order so be prepared to wait. It’s soooo worth it.
Everything we ate was fantastic. We tried the garlic bread with cheese, mussels in marinara, fried mozzarella, salad, chicken alfredo, shrimp alfredo, lasagna, chicken russo, almond cream cake, cheesecake, and tarimissu over the couse of two dinners. We had enough left over for lunch the next day both times. Portions are huge.
The staff is so nice and helpful. They are actually glad that you are in their restaurant and you aren’t just another table.
If you eat at any restaurant try this place! I hate that’s it’s 8 hours away!

Place its small and really cozy. First impresion good. Garlic bread, great… salad, ok. Food so so. Service, takes for ever. Not worth your time, or mine. We waited around 50 minutes for our main dishes to arrive. Tortellini with mushrooms and prosciutto has prosciutto only in the description but not in the plate. Then another 20 minute wait for the check. Then, they don’t take American Express, so make sure to bring some cash or some other card.

Food was good (not great), but the service was awful.
Over 45 minutes for our meal to arrive. We were all out of drinks but our server was no where to be found.
We were a party of six and i understand gratuity was added, but our server actually filled out our credit receipt herself.
I placed a to go order when or meal was delivered but it didn’t arrive until half an hour after we received our bill. We will not be visiting there again! Awful service! !!

Ate here last night and had the calamari appetizer and the sea bass entrée… words can not describe how wonderful the food was! So fresh, perfectly cooked and seasoned. it was absolutely delightful ! I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a great meal. The ambiance is a little kitschy, but the food is fabulous! There is only one waitress at this site, but she is pleasant and very efficient. All the food is prepared to order so be prepared to wait. this is a wonderful dining venue, don’t expect fast food service here and you won’t be disappointed.

Zero complaints. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Crab stuffed mushroom appetizer, Caesar salad and manicotti entrée. Add fresh bread and a Montepulchiano D’Abbruzzo and it was a perfect meal. Thanks, Cindy and Mark!

Great dinner — had the escargot and Eggplant Tower as appetizers… both excellent! Our party ordered shrimp scampi, lasagna and another seafood pasta — all were great! Sindy our server was very attentive too. Will definitely be back!

I definitely recommend! Just finished my meal and I can say that the food was delicious, very soothing and home-​like. Patty (our waitress extraordinaire) was the perfect compliment to the delicious food! Although she was the only one waiting the tables, she was fabulous. Very sweet, genuinely interested in the customers, and a great multi-​tasker.
To those looking for super fast meal, non family oriented or the kind where you just eat and run– this is probably not your place. For those willing to spend some time talking with those you came to dinner with (just think to talk instead of staring at a phone?!?) — try this place. We loved it.

It’s should be no star. We had an awful night at this place, waiting for almost an hour for the food. The menu said add a salad or soup with the entrée for one price but if you want to have a soup and add a salad it’ll be a different price. We have 3 adult and a kid who split dinner with the adult with additional money and the waitress put on the bill a FIXED tip for 20%. Such a shame for we used to like this place!

Meal (veal derusso) was okay but a little salty. Only six people in the restaurant but it took nearly 90 minutes to get our entre.

We were fortunate to find this restaurant where the chef who is also the owner was preparing the meals last night. Our waitress’ greeting included the fact that the food is prepared upon ordering, that they are not a fast food restaurant. All four of us enjoyed our meals
we’ll return.

Had family visiting and we decided to try La Strada Italian Restaurant this evening and had a great experience.
We had a bottle of Carmenet Cabernet Sauvignon (A CA wine). My wife ordered the chicken Sorrento and the rest of us had veal parmigiana. The meal was excellent. We shared a tiramisu which was great
The restaurant was clean. The bathroom was in great shape (the hot water was hot just like it should be).
The staff was there when needed just a great experience — so they received five stars. This was our first visit to LaStrada we will be back.

We had an Amazing experience!!! We had a large party of 10 and everybody agreed that it was some of the best Italian they’ve had. We had excellent service and the chef even came out to greet us and make sure the food was to our liking. Authentic Italian, with a cozy, fun family atmosphere, and large meals make for an amazing experience. We’ve tried other Italian restaurants in the area and this is by far our favorite. If your visiting, and are in the mood for Italian, I recommend you eat here.

Slow slow slow service. We got here at seven and are just now leaving at ten. Food taste pretty good. Not the best I’ve ever had but not bad at all. Good flavors and meat was tender. At least the food was good. One lady is the hostess, waitress, bus boy, etc. For how long the food takes and how long she disappears for, I want to say she’s the cook too. Food taste fresh and definitely prepared to order… It just takes forever! One of our friends really wanted lasagna but they were out. Bummer. Gratuity is also included at 18%, at least it was for our table of four. I think the waitress is very nice and she’s honest b. c we over paid and she corrected us. I would give it a solid four stars if you have time to sit, chat, drink, and hang out. But personally, it’s a Thursday night. I come in at seven and don’t leave till 11… that’s a bit much. Also food is a tad pricey but the portions are large and the food is made to order. Would only recommend if you have time to burn and it definitely hits the spot if you’re in the mood for quality Italian.
