"Strada is an Italian restaurant in Parson's Green in South West London. Part of a chain but good quality food.

FOOD
Good quality large pizzas cooked in a wood burning oven, and a selection of other dishes including meat, fish and pasta.

Absolutely un-missable is the Fordente al cacao -a hot chocolate pudding with melting chocolate inside and ice cream on top, costing £4.50. GORGEOUS! Get one to share, even if you are really full!

We ordered a starter but it came at the same time as the mains unfortunately. Don't bother with the pesto topped bread if you are getting pizza – it is yummy, but the pizzas are big and they taste pretty similar. Good starter if you are getting a non-pizza dish though.

DRINK
Complimentary bottled water kept coming. It is in classy bottles so I was concerned that we would be charged, but you can have as much as you like for free.
Standard selection of wine and teas (I find earl grey a nice accompaniment to pudding).

COST
Pizza around £9, Beef £16.50 the most expensive main.
Starters £2 – 4
Tea £1.60
Medium priced wine £16 (Pino Grigio blush sounds like it should be a rose but it is a white wine).

WHO
Good for friends or couples.

LAYOUT
Two floors, various sizes tables but mainly for two. Can be pushed together for parties.
