Good food, terrible rude service

The food was nice and ready quite som after we ordered it. It was a bit cold and windy, but we found a nice spot. The Music in the Kitchen was a bit loud. Bit overall, if you Are near London Eye and need somerhing to eat, this could be the place.

I work nearby but this is the first time I've visited this Strada. Probably the last.
Food wasn't bad quality, portion size was questionable given we were told the large antipasti platter served 4 - we opted for that and the garlic bread (which was a good size) between 3 of us and without the garlic bread it would've been mediocre at best.
Mains were pretty good but the service left a lot to be desired.
We arrived just after 8.15pm on a Sunday. Nobody mentioned they close at 9.30pm. We ordered drinks from a lovely waitress who shortly afterwards, told us she was leaving. No problem there. As we finished our starters, another waiter came to clear plates and told us the kitchen was closing so did we want anything else? Given we'd not even received our mains yet, we said no.
Mains came out and a 3rd member of staff asked immediately after if she could leave the bill. A little abrupt but fine. She then returns 2 minutes later with the card machine, expecting us to pay when we've barely even started our main courses!
The staff continued to fuss around us, clearing up even though it was 9.20pm, and offered no explanation or apology for doing so.
It was a warm, sunny, Sunday evening on London's South Bank. Expecting restaurants to be open later than 9.30pm (especially when nobody has warned you it closes little over an hour after you enter) and treating customers with respect should surely be a bare minimum?
If I had been a visitor to London or this had been my first experience at Strada, i certainly wouldn't have returned. As it is, I've worked nearby for 18 months and haven't visited before but would still opt for many of the other options nearby before I chose Strada again.

Very expensive glass of average wine and food unremarkable. Service was average, friendly staff but didn't seem to know what they were doing .

The pizza was delicious. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio isn't quite right here, 18 pounds for a pizza with ham is a bit steep.

Food is not too bad, pretty decent I must admit. Ambience decent as well, during summer days it's splendid to sit out. Just few, I reiterate just few are there who I felt are not so polite as they should be

Good food, felt like we were being rushed out. Kids food arrived within 2 minutes which felt too quick. Staff were maybe a little too attentive

The food isn't great, no vegan options unless you remove a bunch of ingredients. Pizza was mediocre.

Parking: Google maps directions are misleading. The restaurant is on the ground level

Racist server/v rude. 3-5 of them at a time would stand and be chatting and not looking towards the tables at all. The food came cold except for the inside part of the linguini pasta. Calamari was not crispy at all. Pizza came with lines but wasn?t actually cut. There was a weird taste in the margarita pizza. Asked for a cup with ice and it came melting already. Guy wearing half a sleeve tshirt was nice. They had nice kid menus as well. Their staff need to fix up. I think even the manager ignored my hand raised asking for help.

Poor food, blood on the plate with the steak. Cold chips in a hot bowl. Pretty bland overall. Forgot the side for my childs meal and missing cutlery (spoon for pasta and knife for steak). Better options around the area.

Extremely disappointing experience at Strada Southbank. The food was barely passable?poorly presented, and one member of our party couldn?t even eat their pasta as it was so overcooked it resembled mush. The house red wine was equally subpar; we left most of it untouched.
To make matters worse, we were seated in a makeshift area in the Southbank Centre hallway, which lacked any atmosphere and had wobbly tables. Overall, it was a letdown on every front. I wouldn?t recommend this place and certainly won?t be returning.
