    Wow ! New ownership has turned this place around. From the music to the appetizer bread to main courses all is simply delightful. The manager whose name we didn't catch unfortunately was training a new hire. Service service service is what he is preparing his team for! Has the gnocchi with 4 cheese sauce, it was perfection. Husband has the angel hair with grilled chicken and Alfredo, he cleared his plate, to give you an idea! The flavors were perfect accompanied by personalized service. Will be returning!

    Absolutely delicious! We found this place googling new restaurants, we are so lucky to have found this place. The food is so fresh and amazing! Every single thing we ordered was to die for. The desserts, we are absolutely coming back and trying every single one. Stefany was our server, we couldn’t have asked for better attention. She was so sweet and her recommendations were spot on.

    The place is kind of hidden; it's nested within a bunch of professional offices. The environment is good, the food is very good, the price is high-end, the chef takes ample time to prepare the food, the servers forgot one of my order, and one of the servers seem losing her mind. No doubt, the restaurant attracts a crowd even at lunch time.

    Really nice Italian restaurant in Pembroke Pines. I was looking for something good in this area for a Dinner with friends and decided to try La Strega which looked Elegant yet Unpretentious. Upon arrival the hostess was very friendly and very personable. They sat us immediately and the restaurant ambiance is just like in the pictures.... elegant and fun. Live musician brightens the place up. (A bit loud... but fun) Food was also very nice.... nice portions ... not big not small. Fried calamari was nice and crispy and the sauce was light. The Strega salad was very good.love salads with beets. Spaghetti bolognese was light.. a bit too tomato-based but good. Fettuccine Alfredo sauce was not heavy at all. Creamy and luscious. Meat lasagna that our waiter recommended was excellent... I wish I could have that again for breakfast. ;) Tuna steak dish was perfect... nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. Veggies and roasted potatoes side was the perfect accompaniment. Pizza and risotto.... mmmm both incredibly good. I guess I want to say that everything was DELICIOUS. Few misses but really good overall. I would love to come back here soon.

    So the atmosphere is always pleasant we usually celebrate special occasions here but this time unfortunately will be out last. The food was highly overpriced for the quality. The seafood pasta was 6/10 I feel horrible saying this but the seafood didn’t seem fresh and I don’t know it seemed not as good as in the past occasions . Which sucks because this was one of our favorite places and for the price you definitely can expect more

    Food was great! Everyone was so gracious. We were celebrating 2 birthdays & a wedding anniversary. They brought us cake with a candle & sang. We had a lot of fun!

    Our first time here, and we like! πŸ‘ nice place,decent food great atmosphere. Sorry, I forgot to take pics of the food, but i will make an update on the next visit. We ordered the octopus πŸ™ but I thought it lacked taste it was kind of boring they were out of the tuna tartar that's something I was excited about trying, and we had the beef carpaccio witch wasn't bad, the bruschetta and the Spanish ravioli over all the food was decent but I will give it another visit and try again. Their house cabernet was good.

    Absolutely loved our first visit to this restaurant!! Good friends took us there, and we truly enjoyed the dining experience. Highly recommend sitting at the bar and watching the chefs cook your meal and enjoy talking to them.

    I was absolutely blown away by my first visit to this beautifully decorated restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the elegant and romantic atmosphere captured my attention. The service was top-notch, leaving no room for complaints. However, the true highlight was the fish dishβ€”it was simply the best I've ever tasted! The flavors were divine, and I couldn't help but savor every bite. This place is a true gem that exceeded my expectations in every way.

    This is surely a gem at Miami Lakes. I went with a friend today and the impression is above and beyond. Very classy, delicious and proper truly Italian restaurant. The wine list they have in is rare to find. As its first restaurant in the area I had ability to see German white wines as well. Lisandro the manager very accommodating and the place is spotless with beautiful relaxing and welcoming decor. Definitely going back!! Thank You πŸ™πŸ» we need the true class.

    Overall fair at best. Aside from the chicken picatta and the side of spinach I ordered for my seabass (no seasoning at all, tasted old but had a nice sear), it was severely under seasoned. Server was nice and attentive, cappuccino was good. Not going to rush to head back as the prices indicate the food would have been better.

    The food and dessert at La Strega Cucina is delicious. I order a glass of sangria that was great. Our server Valentina was very attentive. She made sure we were happy with our meal. This restaurant is a hidden gem. You must come and try their food.

    I had a bad experience just vecause of the change in the menu for Mother's day and no one communicated that to us when we did the reservation, Food was good but was very limited on the choices, specially for people that are very picky eaters on my party.

  • 1/5 Frank P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a very poor experience at La Strega. When ordering our meal I asked the waiter to bring the salad and our bottle of wine first; but NOT to serve the main dishes too quickly. Not only was the salad dry but before we finished our salad and only had a few sips of wine the main dishes were being served. The food was just OK at best. The dessert menu really had NO traditional Italian items on it, in fact they seemed more Latin than Italian. We ordered dessert and coffee, the dessert was flavorless and stale and our coffee was NEVER SERVED. It is my opinion La Strega may be managed or owned by someone Latin trying to capitalize on the attraction of an Italian restaurant; you judge for yourself. I will give them credit for good presentation, a nice ambiance, live music and a great website. Unfortunately the food and service was unacceptable, so much so that I will not be giving them a second chance.

    Everything was delicious, the service was fast, the music enjoyable. Get the carpaccio and the Strega salad.

  • 5/5 Ken D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent authentic food with great service!! We felt the portions were right for the price. Went during lunch and it was nice and quiet. The dinning room is well laid out with fresh flowers at each table which was a nice touch. Restrooms were modern and sparking clean. Will definitely be back and will take picture next time.
