Strada @ Bocce — Restaurant in Cottonwood

We used to eat at Pizzeria Bocce next door but since Strada opened, we’ve opted to eat here. Love the casual environment, shorter wait times, and the food and drinks are good. We’ve been several times since we arrived in the area a few months ago, but after tonight we will sadly not be back. When we first started going, it seemed very family-friendly, but they’ve made it clear more recently that it is NOT family-friendly. In addition, my husband has dietary restrictions and the very first time we ate here, we spoke with the manager to see if there was anything he could eat on the menu. After reviewing the options & realizing there wasn’t anything available, my husband went down the street to Colt to get some food and brought it back to eat with all of us. We have done this every single time since and no one has ever said anything…until tonight. One of the staff members told my husband he couldn’t have his food in there, so we asked to speak to the manager. The manager came over and launched into health code violations without even asking a question or anything. After explaining our concerns and the situation, there wasn’t even so much as an apology. This was the last straw for us. We will miss Strada but we are happily taking our...

Been there 4 times in the last month only 1 time went smoothly They do not have Apple Pay when I asked the manager guy acted like he never heard of it ? But admitted he likes to tap his bank card for everything? So I had to run to the bank to get cash and go back Don’t bother calling your order in ahead of time because they won’t start making your pizza till you get there and pay for it They really need a better location because parking sucks and they seem to always be behind playing catch up This last pizza we got had all the toppings lumped together in big piles couldn’t even take the time to spread them out a little Big lumps of mushrooms and cheese we’re done we’ll make our own pizza in our uni pizza...

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY! Kids are not allowed to move from the table unless an adult is by their side (Literally written on their sign) which is ridiculous. We could tell something was off here because the manager stood behind the counter and watched us relentlessly the entire time.

Then to close out the night, our friend with dietary restrictions brought his own food (from Colt Grill) and was told he needed to leave. Once the manager understood the dietary situation, he acted like the victim & didn't even offer an apology.

We won't be back, even though I will miss the Bartender....
