A major revamp provides the reason for the critic to revisit this long-established D&D (fka Conran) riverside Italian. Redesigned by Conran & Partners, it now looks like “a cross between a Carluccio's and a branch of Ask”. “The menu promises great treats but fails to deliver on all counts”, she fumes: “If I want a chain, I'll stick to Strada”.
