Eldersburg.Net Restaurant Notes
April 20, 2005

Classy yet Casual - These words best describe the “Eatalian” eatery in Eldersburg. Strapazza is conveniently located in the Princess Shopping Center on route 26. This shopping center in Eldersburg is quickly becoming the most popular shopping and dining destination in town.

The restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine from hot and cold antipasti (appetizers) to pasta dishes, through a wide variety of salads, pizza, and panini (sandwiches). Extensive menu provides a variety of choices, whether you like seafood, veal, or neither one. Warm breadsticks with butter appear at your table immediately after you are seated. After a comforting meal you can enjoy a satisfying Italian dessert, like Tiramisu or Cannoli. There is even a children’s menu, because this great new lunch and dinner place is very family oriented. Carryout menu with complete family dinners like Lasagna Napoletana, salad, and breadsticks combination, is also available. Strapazza offers a small, but thoughtful wine selection with red and white, Italian and American wines. Other beverages include beer, sodas, and coffee. Prices here are very reasonable, with lunch specials starting at $5.50 to entrees costing around $10.00. Many different forms of payment are accepted.

Couples and Singles, as well as families will be able to relax in the dimmed lights atmosphere of a tastefully decorated dining room. Seating arrangements can accommodate small or large parties alike. Booths and freestanding tables are nicely set and waiting for Strapazza’s guests. The most impressive embellishment of this cozy space is the large wall fresco depicting a beautiful, calming, and elegant Italian landscape.

The best part of dining at Strapazza is the feeling of being welcomed and well cared for. Service is excellent, attentive, but discrete. The server is there when you need another drink or a dessert, but after an initial check of “Is everything cooked to your liking?” you can enjoy your meal uninterrupted.

When you visit Strapazza, don’t forget to taste the scrumptious Chicken Vesuvio covered with delicious Strapazza Marinara Sauce and flavored with garlic and rosemary. Fettuccine Alfredo is a great choice for the creamy white sauce enthusiasts…or just order lasagna, which has no equal when it comes to homemade pasta noodles and this special meaty flavor.

Enjoy a new flavor of Eldersburg!

But at Strapazza you get to choose from gourmey soups, Meditarrian salads, delicous ice creams and delicous wine and beers from your choosing. From: Tommy Mulinax, Buss boy at eldersburg's strapazza
> It's an odd dish to like -- but you have to try their sauteed broccoli. Just incredible. In fact, everything I've tried at this restaurant is way above average.
> Strapazza's is no more. Now it's Romeo's. You can't show your hours and then close an hour and a half early in the evening because you're not busy and expect to stay in business. New management took over several months ago - the recipes changed - for the worst - and when they had been open for quite some time and still hadn't printed new menus, you knew it was over for them.
> I want to write about Romeo's that has taken over Strapazza.I loved this place.I had a wonderful service,the waitress was Samantha,the food was very good I had the Frutti Genovese and my husband had the Tortellini Vodka.We also had their Insalata del Sole,with grilled shrimp.Delicious!!.It is well worth to check this place out.By the way Strapazza had many management problems,owner never into the premises.
