For a chain restaurant, this particular Strada is quite excellent.

It's very busy so a reservation in advance is definitely recomended. It has a great view thanks to the Tower Bridge location, especially at night. The decor is modern - dark wooden tables and the like, simple but effective. The crowd is mostly business people with a few families and groups of young people.

The Italian food is affordable and quite good, very definitely worth the money. I loved their sundried tomato bruschetta, as well as the spaghetti vongole, both very good. A starter and main will fill you up for under 30 pounds. Great place to go for a dinner with friends.
