Cozy vibes and a great atmosphere inside. Love the fact that it is BYOB and there are so many liquor stores around. Be prepared to wait for sometime as it’s walk-ins only, we waited for 1.5 hours and honestly the food did not live up to that long of a wait. Was split on the food being nice and below average.
What we had:
Burrata honey crostini – a refreshing, light and creamy combination. Will recommend to anyone who loves burrata cheese.
Vodka pasta- creamy and moderately flavored, loved the small mozzarella pearls which added so much depth to the dish.
Ricotta cavatelli- was a little disappointing. Extremely meaty in taste due to the lamb meat, slightly bitter because of the broccoli and overall lacked flavor. I had imagined a creamier pasta but it really was not creamy at all.
Oven roasted potato- delicious side dish.

As soon as we walked up we were greeted by one of the owners, very friendly and welcoming! He came over to our table to check on us as well! Our waiter George was a wonderful server! Ordered Burrata Honey Crostini for our appetizer and for our dinners we had Espresso Short Rib Ravioli, Tortelloni Di Manzo e Vitello, all outstanding! We definitely return! This tourist from Michigan will gladly return!

We went on a Thursday night and the place was fully packed, but the staff was still quick and attentive in accommodating our party of six. It’s BYOB, which I actually like, the waiter promptly opened our bottles and checked on us consistently throughout the night. Our table was outside, with cozy vibes, heaters provided, and a nice semi-private setup. The food was surprisingly really good; every dish was well-seasoned, flavorful, and served in generous portions.

Came last night and it was a 2 hour wait (to be expected). It took exactly 2 hours.
We ordered the vodka pasta, bolognese pasta, lemon arugula ricotta pizza, and eggplant. I didn’t try the bolognese but the vodka pasta and eggplant were extremely good.
The pizza left A LOT to be desired. I actually thought it was awful – we didn’t even finish it. It was cold and had zero flavor until you’d bite and get punched in the mouth with lemon rind. It was so bad I was eating leftover sauce on my dish to wash it down with. I’d recommend you get a different pizza.

Delicious food and a great atmosphere! However, since they don’t take reservations, we had to wait for about 20 minutes, so keep that in mind especially during cold weather. But…it’s worth the wait!

If you’re in the mood for good Italian cuisine, Otto Strada is the perfect destination. This charming BYOB restaurant offers a delightful experience that brings the flavors of Italy right to your table. While the indoor seating can get quite loud during dinner, the outdoor area provides a much more enjoyable atmosphere for a relaxed meal.
The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the pastas. We tried the Linguine con Pesto di Pepe Rosso, and to our delight, the staff graciously accommodated our request to switch to green pepper. The result was a beautifully balanced dish with vibrant flavors and a rich pesto sauce that perfectly coated the linguine.
Next, we tried the Spaghetti Aglio Olio, which packed a little more heat than your typical preparation. The added spice gave it a delightful kick, elevating this classic dish and making it an exciting choice for those who enjoy a bit of zest in their pasta.
While the pizza was decent, it was clear that the pastas stole the show during our visit.

It is a nice outdoor dining experience in a city setting, and it gets packed during dinner time. The outdoor seating area is covered under real grape vines. The pasta dishes were fantastic, and the salad was refreshing. In general we like the food here. Service was okay, there was enough staff, but we think there were rooms for improvement. This is a relaxing place great for meeting friends or families when the weather is good out.
