I've eaten in a number of Stradas I find them good value and will usually choose them above the other italian chain restaurants.

I went to the Strada tasting menu and it was absolutely brilliant. I've been to a few openings, and…read moreI have to say they did a fantastic job. We rocked up with three pushchairs and they welcomed us in. So, fantastic experience there - I can honestly say it was the best opening gambit I've seen. I went there for a meal this Wednesday with a friend and was just unimpressed. The food was OK, I had chicken and it was very bland. It was a bit of a disappointment - the food just didn't seem coherent? I paid cash, and the change came back. I noticed that instead of a 10p coin there was an American quarter - it isn't important (heck, the quarter is probably worth more than 10p), but it was a little annoying. They got the coin back as a tip. My tip is go to the Petit Square.......it's almost next door!

Unfortunately for me, Valle D'Oro didn't have any penne so I opted for the spaghetti carbonara. I think the last time I had spaghetti I was 12 years old and Mr. Boyardee was serving it. It was the spaghetti that saved this meal for me. The appetizers were junk. Think onion ring like fried calamari, and not in a good way. Extra points for putting french fries under the "VEGETABLES" section on the menu. If you happen to be in Newbury for any length of time, it might be worth a visit. Other than that, look elsewhere. Homesick.

February 15th 2019…read more In Evening, me my mom and my dad had a family dinner together.Everything was going great. We first had to book this Italian restaurant called Rigoletto. After we got there we found a very comfortable seat. Mom and I started to order. My original plan for my third course was to eat a pancake called Crêpes Suzette. The waitress said that I couldn't order that as my third course. It was because there would be alcohol in Crêpes Suzette so he suggested me to try another dessert for my third course so I ordered tiramisu. The rest of our meal was delicious! However, our neighbors ordered Crêpes Suzette and we saw the fire flying up two meters high. It was caused by the alcohol. Because the alcohol was strong enough to make the cooking pan go on fire for two meters high. That was a funny & interesting night. I enjoyed eating in the Rigoletto and if you have time, you can go there for your dinner!!! Fun Fact This was my dolci menu!!!

La Fenice is a good Italian restaurant…read more However, it has all the makings of a GREAT Italian restaurant if it could succumb to a few simple tweaks. I went there with friends recently. The vibe of the places squeals 'style', the friendly smiling attention of the servers likewise. Then we we given the menus. The combination of low light, nothing specific illuminating our table and pale grey printing on the pages of the menu meant... well, it meant we couldn't actually see what was on offer! I am not making this up when I say to read it we had to spark up a smartphone and hold it over the pages and then lean in as a combined trio to pore over the contents. So simple suggestion 1:- Quickly reprint the menus using good old fashioned black ink and save your diners the embarrassment and awkwardness of having to squint like a very squinty thing. Simple Suggestion #2:- If you must play music over the speakers, please, please, PLEASE play something that is in keeping with the stylish vibe of the place. I will remember La Fenice's craptastic selection of horrible saxophone solos, cheesy light jazz rubbish, out-of-tune wailers and (at one point an utterly bizarre choice of) German oompah band music FAR longer than I will remember the food I ate there. And the food is good. One of our party had a pizza which looked inviting and was polished off in its 14" entirety whilst the other two opted for the risottos (mushroom or chicken) which came out from the kitchen hot and steaming and very tasty indeed, garnished and accompanied perfectly. The food served to the tables around us all looked terrific and almost everyone seemed to be having a nice time... even if eyebrows did collectively raise when that oompah tune came on. Le Fenice's website - just discovered - states that fish is their speciality. I wish I had known that on the night as its been a long time since I've had a good Italian fish dish. Sadly, the design of the menu meant I never even saw this kind of offering to choose it. Like I said. A good Italian restaurant with all the makings of being a great one. Worth a try if you take along a flashlight/torch and a sturdy pair of music-blocking earplugs!
