La Strada is a charming little cafe style restaurant located on the Second Street strip in Belmont Shores. It's the perfect place for a casual lunch with friends. La Strada is very cozy in it's atmosphere with a comfortable menu. I ordered their Antipaso Mixto, which was big enough to share and the got their classic Lasagne Bolognese. Delicious! I really loved the carefully layered sheets of pasta with generous helpings of cheese and meat sauce. Their lasagne is not made in one giant pan and cut into pieces, it is individually layered and plated to order. For dessert we ordered their chocolate cake to share....but unfortunately it was just okay. (I'm not a fan of cakes swimming in whipped cream.) So my advice? Skip dessert and go for great appetizers and delicious entrees! Please visit them at 4716 East Second Street in Long Beach or call 562.433.8100
