They have the best selections on their menu and the food is always great. The ambiance is awesome and their waiters and waitresses are wonderful. We tried the Crispy Artichoke Hearts and the Shrimp FRA Diavolo. Both were very delicious - We're hoping they willget added to the regular menu.
Went for an early lunch. The service was great. Michelle was our waitress she made sure we had everything we needed. She really went above and beyond! Some of our favorite items: Appetizer: bruschetta Soup: seafood bisque and minestrone Main dishes: carbonara, pasta siena, and the baked fornitino. We got a brownie lasagna for dessert It's a very clean restaurant the bathrooms were very well maintained
Since the nearest Strings near me closed, I drove to the next town over to visit this one. Host and waitress were very nice and made sure we had enuff drinks and bread as we ate our meal.
I ordered Sunday dinner here through Door Dash. I had not enjoyed their food since they remodeled. I was pleased that at the time, they were offering a large percentage off before 6pm for their entrees. I decided to try the Lasagna and Tortellini combo with a cup of minestrone soup. The minestrone soup tasted great. Not salty and the perfect blend of vegetables and seasoning. However, the tortellini stole the show for me! It had a delightful cheesy sauce and along with the lasagna I was in italian dinner heaven! They also included some of their bread which was lightly toasted and seasoned. I most definitely want to dine in next time.
Got a craving for their peperoni calzone last night and I was shocked to see that I haven't updated this review in like 10 years! I can't believe how long I have been coming here. This place is a staple in Lodi. I loved the old Tuscan vibe of the resturaunt but the remodel is truely lovely; super sleek, clean and modern. If you have time, I suggest dining in as they are always generous with salad and bread but I always seem to be in a rush! My calzone was delicious as always, though it seems to be filled with less and less pepperoni over the years and for me to pay $17 for a take out calzone, you know it has to be good. I love their fresh marinara and the salty pepperoni and as long as they are open I will keep coming back here!
It's been a long while since i was at a String's. Based on the sunday night crowd they are popular. Busy but seated quickly by pleasant hostess. Greeted by our server Lyndsay who was pleasant and did a great job. Ordered chianti and breaking bud. they do have several wines and beers to select from. Reviewed menu and asked our server for reco and she said the shrimp scampi and salmon over angel hair was her favorite. So I ordered asked for some capers to be added. We also had beef tortalinni and we both enjoyed some fresh endless salad. It's so good. Rolls are garlicky and hot. Everything was fresh and good Didn't leave a crumb. Look forward to coming back and trying some other items.
