   Wonderful authentic Italian resturant with a delicious Asian twist with certain dishes. The service was impeccable, and the food was just shy of excellent. One of the pastas we had was caccio e pepe, a classic Roman dish, seemingly easy but very tricky to pull off. It was expertly prepared, and tased just about perfect. We are looking forward to returning soon to experience the other pasta dishes. Overall, this was excellent, and this couple will be returning in a few weeks! Thank you!

   Strega is a rare place. Small, hidden, with only 6 tables. I came here on a chilly Monday night, and from the moment I walked in was arrested by its intimately quaint nature. Each element of the plating and dish felt intentional and wholesome.

   We decided to dine here based on an article in the local newspaper about a month ago. When you first walk in the space is very beautiful. They did a nice job with renovation. There are only six tables of four chairs in the entire restaurant. It’s very contemporary in the dining area. We were immediately greeted and sat within a few minutes. The table settings were also very contemporary. We both started out with wine and they were both very good. Bread was brought to the table along with olive oil poured in each of our individual bowls. I have to say that the dishes, bowls and the table settings were very unique in style. I really like the flatware rests so you don’t have to place your flatware directly on the table. Also, of note is the flatware was replaced between courses. I chose a salad for an appetizer and my other half had the scallops. My salad consisted of arugula with lettuces, radishes and shaved carrot. It had a very simple dressing on it. My partner’s scallops were accompanied by a green sauce that we couldn’t figure out what it was, but it was very tasty. My partner chose the salmon for his entrée, and I had the rigatoni. At this point I’m going warn all of you big portion eaters, the portions are small. You may want to go to Pepe‘s or Sally’s or modern Pizza after here or order two entrées. My partner’s salmon was more of a normal size, but the rigatoni that I ordered was very small. I’m not a big portion eater when I dine out. It was satisfying for me, but it would have been nice to bring leftovers home because my entrée was very very good. My partner also enjoyed his salmon. For dessert we both had the pistachio gelato imported from Italy with a pour over of pistachio cream liqueur. With the tip for the two of us, it was about $220. I can say that I went there, tried it , I’m good and not sure that I will be going back.

   My husband and I recently dined at Strega. We absolutely loved it! The restaurant is very small, only six tables, so if you want to eat here you definitely have to secure a reservation. We had the octopus appetizer, branzino entree and gnocchi entree, and dessert. Very delicious, and excellent service without being in any way pretentious. Will definitely return!

    We participated in the Chef tasting and wine pairing. Every dish was a surprise since it was all the chef's choice. The presentations were amazing. The dinnerware is amazing. The wines were very good although young. The food was fantastic. Cacio de pepe was delicious. The rabbit was amazing and something we never thought we could enjoy. Servers were excellent and knew the menu and explained each course in detail. Very small venue but every table was filled. It was a wonderful experience although it was expensive. We will go again for dinner.
