Our family had a great lunch. We ordered the manicotti, lasagna, eggplant Parmesan and chicken parmesan. The dishes were huge and everything was delicious. Our waitress was excellent.
Food was delicious. Service was personable and friendly. Food came quickly, was made on premises. Great pimento cheese. Had the chicken BBQ pizza which was great. Ambiance was relaxing and romantic.
If you love, Italian food and you love choices then you will definitely love this place. It is amazing. They have a wonderful atmosphere.
Post proposal dinner (she said yes). I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Very clean and updated. Staff were very friendly and proactive. Beautiful view from outside looking at the mountains. I don't remember ordering garlic rolls, but we got some anyway. They are delicious, just be careful not to get any of the butter on your clothes. We split a purple haze, and it was awesome! I had chicken Alfredo, she had eggplant parmesan, both were delicious and big portions. We both took ours home for another meal. For dessert we split the cinnamon cheesecake ice cream, which was both huge and delectable! Everything was fairly priced as well. I would definitely eat here again.
This family own d restaurant is an institution overlooking Lake Lure. It started in Charlotte as an old school Italian expanding and moving to the Lake Lure location with an expanded menu. It is a large restaurant with a bar as well as indoor and outdoor seating. It is known for pizza and traditional Italian food. We ordered the baked La Strada special with three classic dishes Chicken Parm, Fettuccine Alfredo and Lasagna. It was very filling and enough food to feed an army. Definitely large portions and old school feel. It reminded me of family style places from the 1980s. Great family atmosphere and pretty views of the lake from the patio. It gets very busy and is very popular!
Was back again 8/26/23 for an overnight visit. Went here for dinner and again, didn't disappoint. For a crowded Saturday night during the peak season, the 8 of us only waited maybe 15 minutes. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with sausage and it was fabulous! It was hot (both temperature and spicy) and had a really great flavor. Although the place was pretty crowded, we still had room to move around. I also love the patio which is nice during the spring and fall when I'm there for weeks at a time. Great view of Lake Lure town and beach.
5 STAR Service for SURE! From the time you walk in by the hostess to our super nice waitress! My husband had the Beef Tenderloin and they were just that, TENDER AND DELICIOUS. Can be cut with a butter knife. I had the Meat Manicotti which was also delicious. Adding a side salad is 5$ so my meal was 21$ for 3 manicotti and a side salad which is very high. Calamari not recommended as the rings are extremely small, so more breading than calamari. They don't give any bread which at an Italian restaurant is kind of to be expected. But I did she garlic knots you can purchase that look really good. TIP: BRING CASH OTHERWISE YOU WILL PAY A 3.5% CREDIT CARD FEE
