How does a little Italian restaurant, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, serve such great food? Excellent food, price, and ambiance! Doesn't get much better than this! My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every time we've been here. A little known secret is, in March and October they seem to have this amazing Steak and Lobster deal. Cannot be beaten. Worth the drive from anywhere. Our server Rick, obviously a seasoned server who carries himself like he owns the place ( anyone who knows Macho Rick, knows what I'm talking about) did his best to soften his machismo attitude around my young girls. I guess when you have 23+ years working here you're allowed to have a little attitude! Good going, Rick... Thank you, La Strada, for your commitment to consistently serving great food and delivering the service to back it up. This keeps us coming back for more!!! Sincerely, Raymond Marc read more

Came here because a friend insisted. It was just ok. Had the gnocchi with pesto and wasn't "wow'd." I would rather try another place up in Napa or Yountville. Yeah, you have trek another 15-20 minutes, but I'd rather enjoy my meal than just leave there feeling "meh." If you're staying in American Canyon, please, make a trip up North. read more

My family had a horrible experience at La Strada tonight on Valentine's Day. My son made a point of being home from medical school at UC Davis to have a romantic dinner with his girlfriend. He wanted to show her a nice evening for her continued support during their time apart and let her know that she means everything to him. He chose this special day to propose. When they arrived at La Strada this evening it was first come, first serve. They were seated and waited patiently. Four separate older groups were seated after them and served promptly. There was another younger party seated in the corner that was also served. My son and his girlfriend continued to wait and did not have a server come to take their order while those who were seated later placed their orders. There appeared to be 4 servers on duty. I have never condoned my children to play the race card. However in this instance it may be warranted. My son is Black and his girlfriend Is Latina. He was the only black person there and the only table not be be served, as they were watching each table. The other aforementioned groups seated after them were all white. I told him maybe they thought you wouldn't tip well because of your age, but they stated there was a young white couple seated after them that had their order taken. I tried to find other possible reasons but there was none. They truly felt it was because my son was black. I have never known him to say this before. Since they have both been food servers, they understood this was a busy day but continued to be ignored by the serving staff. They asked to speak with a manager and one of the servers that had ignored them stated he was in charge. They didn't feel validated after bringing up their concerns and asked to speak with someone higher in charge. The first server sent over another server, who had ignored them as well prior to coming to speak with them. They were offered to have their first drinks comp'ed but they weren't drinking anything. They decided to leave. My son is not a thug. He is educated, respectfully, well spoken, and presentable. His girlfriend is likewise. She was the one who told me she felt it was because my son is black. My son was embarrassed, hurt, and no longer felt he could ask her hand in marriage given the way the evening had progressed. He was disheartened to know he could be responsible for caring for the lives of others and yet still not good enough to be served in a restaurant in his home town. I have few words to offer him to change his mind in this matter. I can only hope that going forward people will not invalidate someone based on potential preconceived bias. Shame on La Strada staff for negatively impacting what should have been a romantic evening and wedding proposal for a beautiful couple. read more

Exactly what I needed. Great food, service, and ambiance. We had a table of four. We each had a different item from the menu and each were very pleased. read more

Amazing food wow we were very impressed! Happy that we dined here and chose a new restaurant in the area in celebration of Mother's Day! The crab Cannelloni was exceptionally delicious but everything was honestly really amazing. read more

Excellent. Great service. Delicious. Carpaccio Fettuccine A La Strada Cordón Bleu Service was profesional and precise. Will be back more often. read more

Consistently good rustic Italian fare. Pleasant staff. Nice ambiance! Ample parking. Great for lunch or dinner!

Great service and old school Italian makes makes La Strada a nice stop for dinner. The decor is traditional, the menu is too. I had the veal picatta, it was very flavorful. I love that it is served with polenta instead of pasta. Husband chose his fave, veal parmigiana with pasta. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable for the area and all in all it was a very satisfying meal. read more

I tried to order delivery and was told to expect to wait around 80 minutes before it could be delivered, which was perfectly fine. But after an hour I was told that my order was canceled because they are too busy. I understand the times we currently live in, but you can't wait that long before realizing that you can't fulfill the order. When the order comes in, make the decision soon after if not right away to give people a chance to make alternate arrangements. You put me in a really inconvenient position. I have eaten here in person before in the past and the food and service were both amazing, so it's not a knock on any of those things. This is just a serious criticism of how a delivery order was handled. read more

Good food, good menu, and good service! We were a group of 6 celebrating a birthday. One person wanted veal, and I found through a menu search of other local restaurants that La Strada had the largest selection of veal dishes on their menu. read more

This past valentines was my first time here and boy was I'm impressed. First of all I appreciated that for valentines there wasn't a prefixed menu that had 3-5 items. The ambiance inside was amazing. I've never been to Italy before but my girlfriend and I mentioned the whole "Italy" feel to it haha. It was very nice to sit in the middle of the room with a live band to entertain us. The wine list had great depth and was quite extensive. You can't go wrong with a Kendal Jackson cab! Especially when I ordered the herb butter rib eye. This is By far the best rib eye experience that I've had in the past 5-10 years. My girlfriend ordered the crab ravioli. She only let me have one bite, and I fell in love with that too. Our waiter was prompt and ready to please as well, especially for how busy it was. I should find myself to frequent this place more! What a wonderful dinner! read more

I haven't been to La Strada in years, but a friend from out of town and working in the area suggested we meet for lunch. She didn't know my folks owned this establishment back in the 1970's when it was Tonelli's Dinner House! My dad was the chef and I had my first job at 14 making salads and clearing tables. Ok, enough about then........ Aside from my memory being tossed about our meal was delicious! The bread and dipping oil was a great starter. My friend and I both chose the Crab Pannini which was served open faced. The pile of sweet dungeonness crab was huge and topped with yummy melted cheese and tomato! My only disappointment were the fries. They were limp and greasy. I should have had the salad. Service was prompt and professional. I would recommend La Strada any time. Bon Appetit. PS....Check out the pic! I had a great window seat! read more

Dude, this place had the best eggplant parm I've ever had. Darling, 1960s vibe means they haven't had to modernize their look to keep customers coming in. It's just great food and friendly service. This will be our go-to restaurant whenever we're up in the area. Outdoor seating and space heaters made it very comfortable. read more

I really enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner here. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. I loved the Tuscan decor and it was quite cozy with Christmas decorations making it look extra festive. We were greeted with a smile and kind words by the lovely hostess. Our server seemed to be overwhelmed but he did his best. The food- Fried Calamari appetizer for the table to share. The rings were a bit chewy but the tentacles were good. Fried well, good flavor. Baked Sole with veggies a side of pasta -,Delicious. The sauce on the fish was rich and flavorful and the fish was cooked perfectly. Good portion of fish too. Special if the night-linguine with seafood. My daughter said it was really good but that next time she'd tell them to hold the calamari. It was chewy. The seafood consisted of, salmon pieces, shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels and clams. It was in a garlic butter sauce. Veal Marsala with polenta and a side of spinach and Veal Picatta with the same side. - I've never been a fan of polenta but this polenta was AMAZING. Smoothe, buttery and a hint of spice that I couldn't pinpoint (maybe nutmeg) the veal was tender and the sauce was very good. They provided bread and garlic/herb olive oil that was a great start to the meal. Everything was served hot and fresh and didn't take long at all. I'd go back. In fact my son frequents this establishment often, since he lives in Napa. read more

This is one of those places that I wish that I am with friends or family so that I could try more plates without feeling like a pig. I ordered the linguine with prawns and added two scallops. I am not a pasta person but I cleaned up that plate! It was so good!!! And I finished the plate even after eating the best bread (sorry mom) I have ever tasted. I will definitely come back to this place and will make sure to bring more people with me so I can try different dishes. read more

Our food was delicious & the service was amazing. Jessie made our experience a 5 Star. We will definitely come back thanks to her awesome service. Thank you sweet Jessie & La Strada Staff. We will see you soon again. read more

Decided to try out La Strada in American Canyon instead of driving back to Napa for dinner one night. I ordered Capellini Pomodoro with a small salad and the SO had the rib eye with green peppercorn sauce and a bowl of minestrone. We finished with tiramisu. All the food was delicious, the ambiance was nice and quiet, service was excellent. (Thanks to our great server, Dave!) It was late so it wasn't very busy and we had an interesting conversation with the people at the next table! We both enjoyed our meal experience very much and were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. We will definitely return. read more

Boyfriend had a mailer coupon for a deal, limited time prix-fixe dinner menu for two, only $49 per couple, dine-in only. OPTION 1: Choice of 1 appetizer to share: Bruschetta or Crostini Choice of 2 main courses: Lobster & Shrimp, Chicken Cordon-Bleu, or New York Steak Frites Choice of 1 dessert to share: Tiramisu or Cannoli OPTION 2: Choice of soup or salad with each main course Choice of 2 main courses: Lobster & Shrimp, Chicken Cordon-Bleu, or New York Steak Frites Choice of 2 glasses of house wine ...since I'm not much of a wine drinker, we went with option #1. First course was the bruschetta (waiter pronounced it like "broos-ketta" which I found quite endearing). Four pieces on the very festive plate, tomatoes were fresh, garlicky too, would've liked more basil represented. I had the New York Steak Frites, which was a generous-sized steak, seasoned fries, cooked well. I did feel guilty at the lack of green/vegetables on my plate though. He had the Lobster & Shrimp dish, also a very nice portion with butter sauce, angelhair pasta and some kind of wilted greens. The shared dessert was a no-brainer, the Tiramisu (I'm only ever torn when it's between Tiramisu or Creme Brulee). This dish was okay, no fancy garnish, not the best but just alright. I feel like the ladyfingers could have been soaked a wee bit more in the espresso or liqueur or whatever magic goes with the marscapone just to moisten the palate. Nevertheless, you can be sure we devoured this in no time. First time in, I liked the interior decor and feel. Not sure I would have wandered in on my own based on location and regular menu prices, but this was a really great deal for the price. Normally at other places three courses can still be $30-$50 per person! May return with another mailer before the end of the month. read more

Not very good! Place was really nice inside but the selection wasn't great and the the waitress ask if we would like either soup or salad which was not included with the meal but failed to mention that! I had spaghetti and meatballs with a Cesar salad. Just ok! Nothing special! I probably will not eat there again! read more

This place has the most excellent Italian food! My friends and I often gather there after showing our dogs during the day. The service is great and the food is delicious read more

Kayaked all day in the Napa River. We didn't want to go back to town. Great food. I had the calamari steak and my brother had the fettuccine. Yummy. All from scratch. No pictures we were starving. Great spumoni ice cream. read more

So my sister bought this huge mansion and she needed floral arrangements for her mausoleum dining room. After spending 5 figures for the table alone, I couldn't stomach paying another fortune for flowers. So I talked her into going with me to the Sunday Swap Meet on Hwy 29. Of course she just loved what was available and she had custom arrangements promised within 2 hours and for less than $200. Of course my sister wouldn't eat at one of the many vendors at the Swap Meet. Kinda made me wonder if we were split at birth? Some of my favorite foods are right here. So I took her to La Strada to cool her heels while we waited. Although we looked like we'd been rode hard and put away wet, the host didn't bat an eye. We were promptly seated in the dining room. A visit to the "Powder Room" proved that cleanliness was observed everywhere. We really enjoyed our lunch, including our soup and salad and entrees. Everything was freshly prepared and served promptly. Our bread was replenished frequently, as was our ice water. While the prices were a little higher than a "chain" restaurant, they often have coupons in the paper, so you can keep it budget friendly. And the flowers? Beautiful! read more

Had lunch here with a huge party (20+), for a family get-together. I have to say I'm impressed by the execution and organization of the servers in this restaurant - there were only a couple on duty that afternoon and they made sure all of us were doing well, along with the other unlucky patrons that had to share the place with us that day. It looks like there is also a nice space in the back for receptions. The food was fantastic! The starter foccacia and garlic/olive oil was delicious, and they will refill your basket. I had the Cannelloni Ripieni di Vitiello - Cannelloni stuffed with veal, ricotta cheese and spinach in a pink sauce topped with mozzarella ($16). It was the ultimate comfort food - hot, fresh, cheesy, tomatoey. Their clam chowder was rich and full of clams - I go to chowder cook-offs regularly and this was one of the best New England chowders I've ever had. Seriously good grub. Though we showed up at 11:30 am, it sort of feels like we were given the dinner menu. Not that I minded, but it's probably the heaviest lunch I've ever had. Ask your server for suggestions if you're looking for a lighter meal (or just go for it like I did). I would definitely eat here again. read more

Wow! What a gem in American Canyon!! I've literally driven by this place twice a day everyday for the past 6 months and it never really drew my attention. One day, my husband is craving Italian and notices that it's been rated well on Yelp and wants to try it! It was a SUPERB idea! We really enjoyed our meals (I personally loved their take on the veal saltimbocca), the service was EXCELLENT (our server was delightful), loved that they served bread that was warm and soft with an herb olive oil (my brother-in-law couldn't get enough after a long day of yard work!)! We came here on a Saturday night and it was not crowded at all - seems as most of their clientele are older and enjoy to eat earlier. ;-) read more

We had a work meetup here and my SO and I are Vegan. I'm happy they were able to accommodate us. The food was good. The portions were a bit on the smaller side, considering the price. If you're Vegan and must come here, your options are: eggplant parmigiani with no cheese (we had this, more eggplant would've been nice, eggplant was done right), penne alla florentina with no cheese (noodle dish, we had this), and fettucine carciofi with no cheese (artichoke dish, we didn't try it). read more

We arrived 5 minutes before closing time and they still took care of us with a smile. The food was delicious. We bought lamb chops, pasta, desserts and wine for takeout. read more

We stopped by for an early dinner today and had really terrible food. Eggplant Parm -- Soggy, as if it had been made earlier and then microwaved. Absolutely no crispiness to the breading whatsoever, and barely any seasoning. Spaghetti and Meatballs -- The meatballs are a weird unappetizing gray-ish, and don't quite taste like any discernible meat. My partner and I were both grossed out, left ~80% of our meals intact, paid the bill, and left as quickly as we could. This place made the Olive Garden feel authentic. read more

This was our 1st time here and we were celebrating my birthday With my family. The entire experience from the moment we walked in was fantastic! The service, decor, and of course most important the food was fantastic. I had the carbonara pasta special my husband had the red snapper special and they were both excellent we cleaned our plates. Also best Creme Brule I have ever had!. We will definitely be back. read more

Our family went to Six Flags this weekend and we found La Strada as a nearby restaurant close to our hotel. This place is the best Italian restaurant that we have been to. It was a pleasure to have Jose as our server. He was very friendly, courteous and customer-service oriented. Great food! Great service! We will definitely come back in the future! :) read more

Great food and reasonably priced food...beats the restaurants in Napa for sure. We all had different dishes and they were all yummy.

Had dinner tonight with daughter. Ordered clam chowder. It was runny and blah. I ordered the fettuccini con pesto and the same. Very blah. Daughter had gnocchi with marinara and said it was all right, nothing to write home about. The bread was burnt on the bottom. Will not be going back read more

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Had the seafood linguine and Gnocchi with pesto and chicken. My husband said he'll be dreaming about the linguine for a long, long time. Loved the gnocchi and pesto, but maybe should have done the prawns instead of the chicken. Tiramisu was heavenly, but make sure to try the lemon dessert. Great finisher. Great food and wine topped off with absolutely exceptional service! Thank you for a beautiful evening. read more

4.5 stars. Always so yummy. Wonderful, consistent old school Italian. Beautifully prepared. The calamari is scrumptious. If the pasta isn't handmade it seems to be. The desserts are sublime. Our waiter was sweet and efficient. Great for date night, dinner with parents, or a bunch of friends (I've done them all). Love it :) read more

Had my Half Birthday dinner here on Saturday...(yes I celebrate it twice a year). Since it was Saturday night I thought this place would be packed but to my surprise it was empty. We showed up around 9 ish...and was seated right away by the hostess. It was us and 2 or maybe 3 other tables. The restaurant is huge... We were seated in the front room but there is another dining area in the back. They also have a nice size bar to the right of the entryway. This restaurant should be in Napa somewhere. The current location is a little off. It's almost like it's in the middle of nowhere. Once seated we waited for about a minute or 2 before our server came by. He was so sweet and attentive. We ordered some champagne and a glass of white wine to sip on while we look through the menu... We ordered: Steamed clams in white wine, garlic: Goog but the sauce was on the salty side Chicken Lasagna: Delicious (1st time having chicken lasagna) Chicken Rollatini: Good...the BF liked it a lot. Overall... Food was good. Our server was amazing! 5 stars for service. Prices are reasonable. Just wish it was in a better location. I would def come back here and try out their other dishes. read more

Long overdue Yelp review. I came here for the first time for Valentine's Day this year and made reservations about several weeks before. We decided to try this place because of its decent reviews on Yelp. The service on Valentine's Day was terrible. We waited an hour for our food and it turned out that they forgot about our order. We were given a free slice of chocolate cake for the long wait. The food was okay, not great or memorable. It's a step up from Olive Garden. The chicken Marsala was bland and so was the chicken Alfredo. We definitely had to use hot sauce, salt, and pepper to compensate for the lack of flavor. read more
