About Strada - Islington

Islington has welcomed a Strada into it’s arms! The neighbourhood is just right for this laid-back and informal restaurant. This branch is, like the others, smart and stylish, with wooden floors and a slight funkiness to the decor that makes it inviting and informal. It attracts a young local crowd, so the atmosphere is great. The traditional Italian menu has all your favourites; try bruschetta or buffalo mozzarella salad to start, followed by one of the terrific pastas or risottos, or an adventurous main like chargrilled bluefin tuna steak with a Tuscan lentil, French bean and artichoke salad. Or you could feast on one of their fabulous pizzas cooked in traditional wood-burning oven.
