Strada - Atlantic Highlands

I honestly thought I was over “sticker shock” these days but apparently not.The ten inch not sure exact size but def VERY small) margherita pizza I got “to go” was absolutely fantastic tasting ,seriously top notch, 11 on a scale of 10 pizza but…1 personal pan sized pizza that I bought for 2 people but it was barely enough) plus 2 glasses of average wine while I was waiting for “take out” for $70 $64 tip for bartender) ?? Way over-priced for what it is imo

Really great food and atmosphere at this spot. Feels like a family, where the owner knows a ton of the customers and focuses on service and ambiance.Drinks were great. Bread with the ricotta was awesome and was cooked with some garlic and rosemary.Even sleeper pick items were good, like the trout dip.The Caesar salad was celery based, so maximum crunch. I thought it was interesting.The pizzas were excellent, wood fired. We also got a spinach ricotta, but felt a bit dry.On the service side, seemed they were backed up for a bit, but overall we didn't have any issues.Eggplant parm was really dense and multi layered. We enjoyed.Dessert was excellent.

Unfortunately our service was lacking. She forgot our drinks twice, then brought the wrong one. She also got one of our pizzas wrong and we politely said it was alright she said great and just marched off. ??‍ So that was awful. BUT those appetizers were SO GOOD (especially beets, bread, and carrots) and it's so cozy inside so 4 stars.

High quality food and excellent service. It is has a very warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. One of our favorite restaurants in the area.

Had an awesome dinner at this cozy, upbeat, Italian restaurant! Menu is small and focuses on small plate/appetizer dishes and delicious fire coal personal sized pizzas. Food selection is unique and quality. Staff/Service was top-notch! Can't wait to go back! Great creamery right across the street.
