31/12/2024: Great discovery, top service for this unpretentious pizzeria refined and delicious dishes.

10/12/2024: La Strada now renamed L'arcane could be good, but wasn't. We chose to eat there because they have a wood-fired oven, which is usually a basic guarantee of pizza quality, but our pizza bases were soft, doughy and under-cooked, so the topping soaked into the dough creating a sloppy mess that made pizza inedible. This was doubly unfortunate because they used good quality flour and good quality fresh ingredients that were spoiled by the badly cooked base. As a bit of a pizza purist, I'd been hoping for nothing more elaborate than a basic well-made Napolitaine with black olives and anchovies. Unfotunately nothing so simple was available, so we had to opt for something more elaborate, whose topping, rather surprisingly was mixed with slightly warmlettuce and mache. They really need to keep it simple and master the basics before attempting more fanciful variations on classic pizza. Our bill came to 45€ for two inedible pizzas and a half bottle pichet of pinot. Finally, later in the evening had indigestion of the sort that I associate with eating bread from bakery chains that use rising agents rather than proper sourdough.

26/02/2026: Very good. Good, quiet, relaxing, no car noise. Top notch.

14/02/2026: Very good and very tasty, a wide selection and decent value for money, helpful staff, and a superb shaded terrace when the weather is nice. Reservations are practically essential! Update after several years: From 5/5 to 3/5, and I'm being generous. For the past two years, prices have been increasing, pizzas have been smaller, the quality has declined, and the staff is mediocre. We used to go once or twice a month since the 2010s, but we haven't been at all since early 2025! There are better options nearby, whereas before it was a must-visit restaurant... sad.
