This is one of our local family favorites and has been for several years. They are so family friendly and offer a diverse delicious menu that we always enjoy. The owners and other staff are always very friendly and accommodating. Delicious garlicky tomato bread and daily specials. Reasonable prices! Several tables are available for eating within the restaurant, and they have a separate room that can accommodations small parties. They also do a fair amount of carry out business as well. Highly recommend !

Pasta basics and gourmet specials

July 12, 2023

There were some tasty looking food pictures for Strapasta on the web, even though the restaurant did not appear to have its own website. On arrival, We found an ample menu of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes and mains with seafood, chicken and more. Subs, sandwiches, paninis, and of course pizza rounded out the offerings. We started with some golden, crisp onion rings. The shrimp verde, or green shrimp looked unusual, and in fact was penne, shrimp, and mushrooms in a creamy pesto sauce, with extra chopped basil on top. The Campagnola gourmet pizza was a creative mix of chicken, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions with mozzarella and a housemade sauce. In both cases, there was plenty to take home. Self-serve drinks were refillable. One orders at the counter overlooking the busy kitchen and then picks up items as they are ready. The comfortable and bright dining area has both tables and booths. Strapasta definitely deserves another visit.
