3.5 / 5
Strada 241 is a strange little place. Situated in the heart of Chinatown, this Italian restaurant sticks out like a sore thumb, but is a welcome departure from the other shops in it's vicinity.
I went here for dinner with a friend and overall the experience was pretty good. The interior of the place has a nice oldschool Italian vibe to it, with an open cafe/bar at the front side and an actual dining area at the back. Nothing overly special but still unique and enjoyable.
The food itself was pretty good, I've had both better and worse pasta before. I had a Linguini dish with an interesting lemon and garlic based sauce. The lemon flavor was a bit overpowering but it still tasted pretty good, certainly not the worst thing I've had at an Italian restaurant. A surprising treat that I experienced here was their nutella latte. Normally I don't get excited about these sorts of things but this was pretty darn good. The price for the food was a bit much in relation to the quality. For my pasta and latte in addition to her pizza and ice cream, the total was around $60 with everything included. Not insane by any means but a bit overpriced. I must mention though that the service was fantastic, very quick, caring and reliable.
Overall this is a pretty good place that you should give a shot, although it's nothing mind blowing.
