The finest buffalo mozzarella, mouth-watering fresh egg pasta and hand-spun traditional Italian pizzas – just some of the authentic tastes and flavours diners will experience when they visit Strada’s new restaurant, in central Milton Keynes at thehub:mk, opening on Saturday 29th September.  But to give diners a taste of what’s to come,  Strada will be giving away samples of their delicious food at their Open House on Friday 28th September from 12 noon  till 2pm.

Strada is dedicated to providing authentic Italian dishes that offer diners a true taste of Italy, using only the finest and freshest ingredients.  Key elements such as extra virgin olive oil, Parma ham and Speck are imported from Italy to provide exactly the kind of rustic, traditional dishes one would expect to find travelling around the country. Notable dishes on the menu include:

Risotto ai frutti di mare – southern Italian risotto with fresh squid, mussels, prawns and fresh Palourde clams, finished with chilli, garlic and extra virgin olive oil

Filetto di manzo al pepe verde – pan-roasted fillet of beef with a creamy shallot and peppercorn sauce served with buttered green beans and garlic and thyme gratin potatoes

Branzino al pomodoro – Chargrilled fillet of seabass with a vine ripened plum tomato salad, roasted cubetti potatoes and a rocket and Parmesan salad

Pollo con Funghi – Chargrilled butterflied chicken breast with a creamy marjoram sauce with garlic and rosemary gratin potatoes

A range of traditional pizzas – each one theatrically spun by hand – is an integral feature of Strada’s menu. Options include the Rustica, a mouth-watering pizza topped with chargrilled Neapolitan sausage, oven roasted baby artichokes, capers, roasted Italian tomatoes, caramelised onions and fresh oregano.

Desserts are also faithful to the authentic theme with classics such as panettone al forno, a warm panettone bread and butter pudding served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

Strada serves purely regional Italian wines, as well as beers and spirits, which have all been carefully chosen to complement the menu.  In addition, every table receives complimentary bottled filtered water.  The restaurant offers diners a contemporary and stylish place to enjoy a relaxing break from shopping or to meet friends in the evening. It is also ideal for business lunches, parties and functions.

Strada’s General Manager Tina Lannery explains: “Strada offers the real deal when it comes to Italian cuisine. There’s no novelty-named creations, no cutting corners when it comes to ingredients or preparation. Strada is about food and a warm setting to enjoy it in. We believe we’re bringing something genuinely new to Milton Keynes because of it.”

Strada is located at thehub:mk, Milton Keynes’s most exciting, vibrant new inner city living development combining residential apartments, restaurants, bars, retail outlets and commercial businesses.
