Steven Bua, who learned from some of the best Italian chefs on Long Island, creates his own original dishes with some ideas from his dad, Hugo. A seasoned restaurateur, Hugo opened this restaurant with Steven in 1994. Hugo, now retired, was also a chef and was influenced by his father, a chef at the Excelsior Hotel in Italy.
With its country art deco motif, the dining rooms
look like they could be from the 1950’s. Divided in two, one room boasts wall to wall wine racks, displaying hundreds of bottles, with more in the wine cellar. There are more than 16,000 bottles altogether. Some are sought after reserves and some are estate bottled. A beautiful hand painted mural of Italian scenes decorates another wall.
The bread basket arrives containing freshly baked herbed soft breadsticks which are addictive, but leave room for the delicious food to come. The dishes are an unusual twist on provincial ones. We enjoyed baked clams, Caesar salad, and mozzarella with grilled vegetables. Breaded veal cutlet with chopped salad, baked canneloni, and Norwegian salmon with rosemary, lemon and white wine are the mouth-watering dishes we sampled. All entrees are generous portions and come with salad and pasta. Luscious homemade desserts which include moist ricotta cheesecake, creamy tiramisu, and Napoleon, are a sweet way to end a relaxing evening in the warm and friendly Cafe La Strada. Robert, Steven’s brother, helps manage the dining room and the professional waitstaff.
