Lisa Ramelow's La Strada Restaurant Does a Toy Drive!

The fabulous owner of La Strada Italian Restaurant in Long Beach celebrates her birthday with a toy drive! 

I don't know too many people that would do that, do you? What a fabulous lady, Lisa Ramelow is. She was out there mingling with her guests and seen hugging many of them. I know I felt special when she came over to hug me.

The event (open to the public) included DJ music and with a $15 unwrapped toy donation (or a $20 cash donation), you enjoyed a gourmet Italian buffet on the house and a drink ticket.

The toys collected will go to the needed children of Long Beach.

The following day, Lisa facebooked her guests:

"Thank you to everyone for the beautiful birthday wishes, I wish I could hug every last one of you ♥ I appreciate all the love and support and am so very grateful to all of you here on Facebook, and to all of you who came out to my Birthday Bash and donated for the children in Long Beach. I am soooo blessed!" xoxoxox Lisa

Isn't she cute? You can see her Facebook message: here

Go check out Lisa's local friendly La Strada's Italian Restaurant if you're ever in Long Beach and want yummy Italian food. It's my friend's favorite restaurant, and I can't wait to take my family back here. 

Happy Birthday, Lisa!

More About La Strada Restaurant
La Strada is a small family Italian restaurant in Long Beach that is owned and operated by Lisa Ramelow. A fixture in the Long Beach Italian restaurant scene, La Strada was originally opened as Caffe La Strada by her father in 1993. Lisa was on a break from her eight-year career working as a software engineer at Rockwell to care for her two small children. She offered to help her father out, and after a couple of years Lisa became the proud owner of the best not-so-secret Italian restaurant in Long Beach.
