Service was great and the dining room is casual plus family friendly. I ordered the Pappardelle Pasta with Broccoli Rabe, Sausage and Mushrooms. The dish looked good but I didn't taste any garlic or olive oil. Sauce was very bland and the Broccoli Rabe was also bland. I'm a garlic lover so this was a big miss for me. My husband enjoyed his Shrimp Fra Diablo so I guess I just made a bad choice in ordering. The small Caesar Salad was fine and enough for the two of us to share. Also our server gave us a complimentary Tiramisu which was a really nice surprise and very yummy. I'll have to try some other dish next time. My dinner was only 3 stars but I added a star for great service which I really appreciate. read more

Took my parents here for their 65 wedding anniversary. Service was terrible - we were rushed from the time we entered until we left. Appetizers were small and we order three which were not enough for five people. We never got a salad - food portions were small and came out cold. Waiter never came to our table till he asked us if we wanted dessert. We were like anchovies in a can eating with other tables on top of us. A very noisy place as well. Stay away not worth the money . I would love to hear from the owner. read more

A solid Italian place in downtown millburn. They have all the classic Italian dishes and the food was really good. When you first walk in, there carry out pizza with some casual seating. The restaurant is in the back. As you head out the side door, there is a beautiful patio with outdoor seating that is shaded under umbrellas. BYOB is always a plus. read more

They specialize in salad on your pizza. Some people may love that idea, not my first choice, but everything was good.

9/17/25 - I was out today on business and when it was time for lunch, I came across a place called La Strada in Millburn, NJ. La Strada is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria combined. There is full service table seating in the back and a few table seats in the front room for slice eaters like me. Overall, the place feels kind of high end. The cooks I overheard were speaking Italian to each other. The guy who took my order was like me which means he had no idea what they were saying either. This was one of those times when I wish I had my dad with me (RIP). Although he didnt speak Italian, he could pick up words and tell me what the conversation was about. I asked for one plain slice and one Margherita slice which my new counter friend brought to my table piping hot. The plain slice had a wonderful, tangy sauce and a high end premium premium mozzarella cheese. The under crust like the outer crust was crunchy and delicious. The overall flavor had a touch of char taste which was a bit surprising considering I didn't see any char whatsoever anywhere on the slice. But no complaints as flavor is flavor and this one works. The only knock here is the slice is limp. No toppings slide off when you pick it up, but you have to fold it to make it stand up. And when you fold it, theres a slight grease drip. The Margherita slice stands up a bit better than its plain cousin slice. The sauce is tangy and layered thick. And it has the most wonderful basil flavor. They use fresh mozzarella on this one and there are pieces of basil in every bite. They also drizzle olive oil on top but there is no grease drip. The crust like the plain slice is crunchy and delicious. Overall Rating: A- read more

Pasta-tively delightful! Super dependable and delicious Italian! Amazingly fast and friendly service. While their massive menu offers apps, salads, foccacia sandwiches, entrees, and daily specials, standouts my family loves are their Veal Parm and Signature Tortellini entrees and Arugula Pizza. Even if you do takeout or delivery, they still include a great mix of bread and a good house salad (not the shitty pale kind) with every entree. Over the last ten years, this spot remains a slice above the rest! NOTES/TIPS: **Free street parking by Taylor Park on Main St. (2 min. walk). Paid (free after Municipal Lot 1 on the corner of Main St. and Millburn Ave. (1 min. walk). **Cute inside with about 12 tables for couples and small groups. Patio in the back with a few tables in warmer months. **On Doordash. **Great for Catering and office lunch orders. read more

Really great service and food. We sat outside with our dogs, the patio area is very cozy and comfortable. Ordered two sandwiches and two pasta dishes, all of which were very good. BYOB. read more

I've loved this place since I was a kid. When I was eating gluten, this is the pizza I would dream about. Also their baked ziti. I haven't had it in ages because I'm sadly gluten free now (my body is happier, even if my taste buds aren't) but I always encourage people to come to this family-friendly restaurant. Slices are classic NJ style pizza. read more

Once upon a time was a really great place had a couple bad incidents kept on giving it a try but this last time prices have gone up food quality, and quantity have gone down. The prosciutto seemed old and the chicken very low-grade very disappointing. read more

Sat outside for weekend lunch. Their patio had many umbrellas and tables nicely spaced and very clean. We checked out their pizzas inside before ordering!!! So many options which looked delicious. Regular pies, veggie pies, interesting combos...Regular crust or even a garlic knot crust... So difficult to decide. I ordered the bbq chicken, while others got margarita pies, and gf pizza. Mom ordered a salad with avocado and mozzarella with balsamic dressing which was delicious. Bf got the meatball parm and another niece got a chicken wrap. Everything was tasty. Pizza was awesome with great crust and flavorful sauce which was a little spicy. Overall, my favorite was the bbq pizza!!! Very good service...and a BYOB! Can't wait to return! read more

Went here on Tuesday night. It has been a while since we came, but man did we miss coming here!!! Francesco waited on us and was friendly and attentive, as always. We ordered different dishes from our usual - the lasagna was 10/10! BYOB is also a nice touch. We sat in the back section of the restaurant where all the windows let the natural light poor in. Honestly, would be such a cute restaurant for a baby shower or birthday party We always leave feeling full and satisfied with plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day read more

Best place to order delicious pizzas in the area. I got a large pizza with pepperoni and ham. 100% recommended.

What a gem of a find! We sat in the outdoor patio which is lovely. The owner took our order and helped with suggestions. My friend and I shared the special mango salad with goat cheese which was so delicious. We also went outside of our comfort zone and shared a pizza with calamari, fresh tomato, garlic and cheese. It was so tasty-we loved it. Great crust too! The guys had a chicken dish as well as a veal dish. They came with a generous salad and perfectly cooked fresh veggies. Wish we had room for dessert! The service was attentive and we will absolutely be back! Thanks, Camilo for a wonderful evening! read more

My brother moved to town and my wife remember this place she used to get pizza when she was in high school. The staff is very nice. I asked for a custom pepperoni and pineapple slice for my toddler (Yes that's what he likes). I asked for her recommendation for 4 adults and she said large pie and we got the bacon chicken ranch pizza. My toddler almost at the whole slice and it's humongous. We all ate 2 slices and were very satisfied. Will definitely come back again. They also have a causal dining area and a more "formal" restaurant dining room. read more

Popped in here with my friend this past Saturday after hiking. Main reason was to use the bathroom, but they had a beautiful display of delicious pizza and the staff was super friendly so I ordered a slice of the spinach tomato and potato pie to have for dinner later.

This past Sunday,Sept. 15 we had dinner. The food was excellent and so was the service. We had four adults. A complimentary salad comes with the meals. It was excellent. All of the main courses were very good. The deserts were outstanding. The only poor item was the bread. It was not heated and of average quality. They have a $42 dinner special. This is a great value. read more

Wonderful food! And friendly staff always a hit love getting the pasta there service is wonderful but a little crowded

first I get to the restaurant and we got seated quickly. the waiter comes to us and doesn't even tell us his name, doesn't tell us any specials but I asked what was popular in the menu. He said chicken franchese. He seemed like he was in a rush and there were maybe 5 tables. After 20 minutes of waiting for him to take our order, we start with muscles. It was okay. (4/10) as our entrees, we ordered chicken parm (5/10) tortellini Ai fungi (7/10) manicotti (2/10). We didn't bother with desert. He never asked how our food was. Never returned to the table to even ask how the food was. we asked for lemon at the beginning of sitting, he brought it after 30 minutes. He brought us hot sauce that never even asked for, before the lemon. Overall exercise, not coming back. read more

Fabulous dinner thanks to our server and new friend, Francesco! My father and I came for an early dinner around 5:30pm tonight and LaStrada did not disappoint! We were seated immediately and given drinks and fresh bread. Francesco made sure we were taken care of! To start, we had a delicious salad with artichokes, kalamata olives, roasted red pepper, and fresh mozzarella with a light dressing. We also had calamari which was the best I've ever had, alongside a plate of fresh mozzarella and prosciutto. For our entrees, I had rigatoni palermo and my dad had fettucine alfredo. Some of the best pasta dishes in town. We were also given a side of steamed broccoli with olive oil and garlic. Everything was amazing. My favorite part was dessert! We shared a decadent chocolate cake and a scrumptious tiramisu. The restaurant was incredibly busy with a large party in the back and most of the tables were full. I greatly appreciate the attention and service that Francesco provided us. He was not only accommodating but he went above and beyond to make sure that our experience was to the next level. He chatted with us and we got to know him a little bit tonight. He is a very kind man. If you're lucky enough to have him serve you, considered yourself blessed! We live in the next town over so we'll definitely be back again! A million thanks to Francesco and the staff of LaStrada for welcoming us and taking care of us so well. We can't wait to see you again! All the best, Sophie read more

NOTE: BYOB. La Strada is pretty much an institution in the Union/Essex County area of Central/Northern N.J. It's honestly been well over a decade since I've been to the brick-and-mortar, but they also have a pretty prolific catering operation, and my best friend's dad often supplements le nonnes' cookings at Christmas, Easter, and birthdays with La Strada's pizzas and paninis. Always a hit. A return to the restaurant-proper for my Mom's bday lunch, in similar fashion, was also a hit. The service was prompt and friendly from the get-go, which came in handy with two little nieces in tow. In addition to the complimentary table bread (awesome...that focaccia is sooo good!), we ordered: Apps: Mussels Possillipo - sauteed in garlic, basil, tomatoes, white wine, and cayenne. Wow, what a portion! And that sauce...I immediately began rationing bread to make sure I could sop up the leftover juice after we (eventually...yuuuge portion) finished the actual [delicious] mussels. Pizza alla Verdure Mista - Grilled eggplant, grilled zucchini, mushroom, marinara (sans cheese). For the amount of loaded veggie toppings on this pie, I was definitely prepared for some sogginess, but boy was I gleefully surprised when there was no flop, and crispy crust goodness! Didn't miss the cheese on this either, essentially with all the simultaneous feasting going on - a great pie! Entrees: I got a salad special - grilled chicken with copious amounts of avocado (like...an entire one), arugula, plum tomatoes, fresh mozzarella with balsamic (and I added goat cheese...because it's friggin delicous). A yuuuge portion, this definitely left me satisfied with leftovers in tow! (my dad copied my order...) My brother got another salad on special, with shrimp, pears, and goat cheese with a honey balsamic dressing (this is how I knew they had the glorious goat cheese). He seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. My mom, the birthday girl, ordered the chicken marsala - Sauteed with mixed mushrooms in a Marsala wine demi-glace. I managed to sneak a couple mushrooms, and they were spot on! Mom was very pleased. My sister-in-law ordered a chicken parm sandwich to share with some of the little ones, and it was pretty much instantaneously devoured! (I've had it previous when it was among the catered goodies and can vouch for the deliciousness. We finished up a lovely lunch with a round of espressos, getting ready to brave the Turtle Back Zoo with the kiddos, but our outing La Strada definitely had us embarking for adventure on a very high note. We'll undoubtedly be back. read more

Mixed bag. The pizza is good, and the Sicilian and grandma's style square pies are excellent. I would stay away from the pasta dishes, which tend to be over-cooked, a bit watery and bland. Tried the chicken cacciatore recently. Sliced breast does not cut it for a real cacciatore, and the flavorless mashed potatoes and julienne sliced carrots do not complement the dish. On the plus side (with the pizza) is a very friendly and competent wait staff and very good salads. read more

Slow service and indifferent food. We've been regulars for 20+ yrs. The restaurant was recently sold and has unfortunately never been the same. Service is way too slow and surly. It took is 10 minutes to get wineglasses. Food quality has declined. Our usual dishes tasted awful. My wife and I will not return. It's a pity because this was a neighborhood favorite but no more. To add insult to injury, they now assess a credit card fee on top of your bill. No thanks. read more

Attended a birthday party there today with about 80 people in attendance. Everything was delicious. The hot antipast, the tomatoes & motz, and the stuffed artichokes were all very good & in great abundance. The pasta was excellent. I chose the chicken parm for my entree. All no in all a great afternoon. I highly recommend LaStrata read more

Since they re-opened after the fire, they have been super busy. They were missed and their food didn't miss a beat. The food is as good as it was before. I ordered a slice of rigatoni pizza and it was phenomenal. On a second trip I ordered a slice of spinach, potato, tomatoes and garlic. The garlic was not overpowering and the slice was excellent. I'm glad they are back. I will continue to patronize them. You should too. read more

What a place !!! read more

Great places to have lunch. We had the veal masala and the salmon in white wine sauce with spinach, zucchini, carrots. Both dishes had nice presentations. The salmon was good, despite being frozen. The veal was a little tough and thick, but had nice masala sauce with thinly sliced mushrooms. The prices were very reasonable. Good service read more

Thank God I found La Strada in Millburn, NJ! It was an excellent experience. I tried many places to host for my daughter's very recent bridal shower lunch and there was always an issue until I found La Strada. The shower was held in the semi private area in the back of the restaurant. Kamelo was good and easy to work with along with being pleasant, helpful, accomodating, flexible and professional. The food was great, the service was excellent, the place was very clean all at a reasonable price. It's a BYOB restaurant and I brought drinks for the guests. Everyone had a great time at the shower held at La Strada! THANK YOU Kamelo and your staff for a great job and a wonderful time! Charmaine read more

Probably one of the worst slices I ever had. Awful thick crust stale frozen cheese , I just don't get it. How easy it is to make pizza yet this junk keeps turning up everywhere. Let's just go after money. Who cares about quality? read more

Just had a Caesar salad and 2 slices of Pepperoni pizza at LaStrada. Honestly, one of the worst Caesar salads I've ever eaten. Didn't dry the lettuce off enough, very watery, and the bottled dressings tasted like Walmart Caesar dressing. The pizza was equally awful, It had four pieces of pepperoni on each slice. Could you spare a couple more slices of pepperoni??? The crust was doughy and tough, no crunch to the crust at all. I've had better pizza at the $1 a slice places in NYC. SKIP THIS PLACE!! read more
