Wakey Wakey Coffee / La Strada Cafe - Italian Street Food reviews
36Best pizza I have tasted for a long time. Prices might look a bit high but the ingredients are all imported from Italy. Well worth paying a bit more, would highly recommend.
Went to this little gem in Edenvale for a friend's birthday dinner last night and was very pleasantly surprised. We order pizza often from various places around Edenvale and this one is definitely in the top 3 best pizza places arounnd here. They also do pasta, which is proper italian and the burgers looked exceptional too. I can't wait to try the Belgian waffles which also look scrumptious. The prices are very reasonable, the service was great and the atmosphere was very warm and relaxed. Will definitely be supporting them in very regular basis. A new favourite for us I'm sure.
When we arrived asked how long pizza will be. Told it will be 12 to 15 min.
They failed to inform us that our pizza was ruined, just asked for more time. An hour later we were informed that we wont get our pizza and we need to change our order to pasta. Which wasnt worth the wait of more than an hour. The manager did not even make eye contact or did anything in the situation.
Really disappointed in La Strada
Lovely little street side Cafe in the heart of Edenvale.
Edenvale has so much to offer and this restaurant is one of them!
The outside area is literally situated on the curb but it doesn't feel like that.
You're safely enclosed but can still enjoy your meal and company in peace.
Food was fresh and tasty.
Our waitress was helpful but would suggest helping her get a bit more on the friendly side.
We used the Entertainer app, she was a bit aggressive about not taking away any food.all good though but not everyone will take kindly to the way in which this rule is applied or rather explained.
Will be back!
We had a tomato and mozzarella starter. Very sweet although good quality.
Pizza was just as sweet.
Meatballs and spaghetti was perfect.
Good quality food but also pricey. Traffic was noisy and spoilt the atmosphere.
I got poor service from this place. The waitress gave me so much attitude. And ofcourse the eggs benedict was not well done
I really enjoyed that they are smaller, not as busy as the larger restaurants. You are able to have a conversation with your guests. I had the breakfast and my partner had a waffle. Food and service really good, will definitely go back.
Amazingly great experience. Sweet rustic jhb street side cafe (not typical) but unique. Owner run and managed. Lovely people quality family oreintated service. Great advice on the menu items. Arancini balls look amaxe balls. Ordered the caprese pizza. Yum yum yum. Good value for money. Food and presentation is of a high quality. Definitely worth having a quick bite here.
Friendly staff, pizza was slightly undercooked on top but was delicious none the less. Windhoek draught on tab earns it an extra star.
Had two really good pizza's here.
I can recommend the Mexicana as well as the Quattro Stagioni.
Pizza's are clearly made with care and they use the finest ingredients.
Will definitely be back to try some more of their offerings.
The atmosphere is most welcoming and the service is great.
This review is from my own experience and this is why we have these reviews.
To be honest and express what you experienced.
1 - for the atmosphere.the decor and finishes.even though dead no back ground music playing.
2nd - For a very interesting menu.that does cater for all. BUT said that for the area and a pavement restaurant waiting for a car to drive through at any given time, you are extremely over priced.
Not sure why?
For you not based in Sandton.so you don't have those rentals to pay.
So a tad bit confused why so expensive?
You based in Edenvale.
Who are you catering for.and yet you call yourself "street food"
There are soo many better restaurants that actually offer street food Tappas at fraction of your price bases in Sandton
. Linden and Meville.
Very disappointing to say the least, but I wish you well.
Each to their own!
Dear Owner thank you for your response, I am fully aware how food costs work and costing of same, I am a Cost accountant and have myself been working in F&B industry for MANY years even having own restaurants.
But said that, If you go to Paul in Sandton among many other restaurants you don't even pay your excessive prices.
Area based again, people don't always want generous amount of food on plate either.now you missing the point!
Wine prices.all patrons know cost of wine ciders and hard liquor.yours is not any better.
That was the point here!
Amazing little restaurant. Food is incredible. Decor is stunning. Food prices are reasonable. Love this place.
My wife and I only came here once and we tried their pastas. The pastas are very well made and tasted quite fresh. We would definitely come back next time and try their pizzas.
Excellent food, absolutely scrumptious and tasty! The best Tuscan pork ribs, pizza and the drinks variety is pleasantly surprising. Service is fast and friendly too. Feels like you stepped into another world. Love the decor and ambience! This is a hidden little gem in the heart of Edenvale
Outstanding friendly service, and really tasty, authentic Italian cuisine,
We went with a large table and received such prompt polite service, highly recommeded
Ordered puttenesca pasta, they delivered what looked like seafood pasta. I called the cafe, only to be told by the manager/ person in charge that he just works part time there and cannot rectify the problem.
So disappointed.
Appreciated the fact that the owner phoned me directly to apologise.
So very beautiful, beautifully re -done, perfect, seating areas, service impeccable and the food so delicious. An absolute must for dining satisfaction.
Delicious and generous toppings on pizza. The best waffles we’ve ever found. Owner and staff are homely. Going back again soonest.
Our family had our morning after the wedding breakfast there this morning. Food was delicious and the service was efficient and friendly. A nice intimate atmosphere.
