I received a warm welcome. After ordering, a complimentary bruschetta arrived. Then, as a first course, I was served a fresh and crisp mixed salad. The Pizza Diavola was generously topped and delicious. Unfortunately, it was cold during my visit, so I couldn't use the terrace. The view from there at sunset must be spectacular.
Dinner here was outstanding from start to finish. We started with the scallop appetizer, which was so good it made me question every other scallop I’ve ever eaten. Two pasta dishes followed — both fantastic, with mine cooked to textbook-perfect al dente. The lamb main was excellent too, rich and flavorful without trying too hard.
Dessert was a tiramisu that didn’t quite reach the same high bar as everything else, but it did its job just fine. Honestly, by that point I was already too happy to care.
And as a bonus — they’ll drive you back to your hotel afterward, which is a lifesaver in Praiano, where “a short walk” usually means “a vertical workout.” Between the service, the view, and the food, La Strada earns an easy 5/5. Would absolutely return (preferably driven).
