Hours aren’t correctly stated. Order a DoorDash at 8:24pm, and attempted to call 3 times to make sure they got it. The line was busy all times. Weird. Then I got a confirmation on the order at 8:32pm when they “close” at 9pm. My driver calls me 20 minutes later and says they never received the order and they close the kitchen at 8:30pm but now they’re actually closed. What the heck! Change your hours if you’re not going to serve people a whole 45 minutes before you close! Unfortunately not going to support this business again.

I just placed an order for fettuccine Alfredo through DoorDash. After I placed I realized I didn't add chicken. I asked if I can pay to add the $3 up charge on the phone. The hostess said no they don't take over the phone payments. Then I asked if they can just add it for me since it's only 3 bucks & I've been a loyal customer for years along with my family. She rudely told me no we can't comp that for you. I asked for the manager. She said he was there. Put me on hold for 5 minutes. And said he's not there now. She lied. Terrible business. 3 bucks really? I tried to pay. Hire better employees and get a new manager

We had dinner here and the food was great with large portions, great hostess', nice atmosphere, the prices are reasonable and they have karaoke in the evenings. We will definitely be back!

The food here is inedible. My pasta was over cooked, and somehow my obviously frozen scallops were still half frozen (very cold). Sauces had no flavor but extremely oversalted. I would never eat here again. I had to feed the food to the dogs.

We have been to the location in Livermore and really liked it. Tried the Manteca location and was truly disappointed. Both my husbands and mine food had a weird taste to it. He ordered the Shrimp/Salmon Scampi, was supposed to have angel hair and yet it was served with spaghetti. I got the Chicken Parmesan Balsamic dinner. Again, the food had a very odd taste to it and I could not finish my meal it was so bad. We had no salt and pepper at our table, had to ask for it and had to ask for butter with our bread. I ordered a lemon drop martini which was so watered down it tasted just like my glass of water with a lemon in it. Poor food and poor service. Will not return.

So Glad we came here, food was fantastic and wine was delicious and a very generous pour, service was on point, I couldn't believe how big the cioppino was, my husband is a big cioppino fan, he loved it!!! We are definitely coming back! Don't read the bad reviews and the look of the outside restaurant scare you, just go. Give it a try

We got seated right away not a problem there was only 5 tables with people at them so we figured it wouldn't take long for our drinks. Jokes on is , took 15 minutes and over heard 2 wait people arguing about not wanting to take the order. I ordered an appetizer, never received it. Heck was not even on the check. Oh well last time I come here.

I had my boyfriends birthday party there and was very pleased with the outcome. I had spoke several times with Jessica who planned it all out with me. I don't have enough good things to say about her & the restaurant. It's very clean and the food of course was amazing. Jessica went above and beyond to make everything nice. Definitely will be hosting more parties there now! Thank you Strings!

So disappointing!!! It's been awhile since we've been to this restaurant. No w I wish we would have waited longer. The prices have increased which seems to be what's happening everywhere. But if your going to raise prices you shouldn't lower everything else.My husband ordered the Pasta Sienna and literally found a few pieces, small pieces of chicken and only 4 pieces of shrimp. Not to mention they put so much curry in it that it's all you could taste. I got the Chicken Lombardy and had to send it back because it was so dry it could have been cardboard. The second plate I received the chicken was somewhat better but it was half the portion of the first plate and the side of pasta was plain (meaning absolutely NO sauce). I guess if you're going for soup or salad only go for it. Since that's all my husband and I ended up eating. Otherwise save yourself the frustration and time.
Service was less than desirable but it was probably because we were a large party and they automatically add gratuity to large groups. Guaranteed percentage even if the service sucks. Food was good though.

Wonderful. Their lasagna pastry is out of this world. Great salad with delicious warm bread. Good ? portions with friendly attentive service at reasonable rates. Lots of good choices on the menu.

i don't think disappointing is a strong enough word. there were raisins in the house salad, the pasta was in a giant clump with sauce on top (because they didn't cook it right), their marinara was too sweet (because they used canned sauce and put sugar in it to cover the metallic taste), the chicken picata had a tiny piece of meat, worst of all was the eggplant parmigiana. i took one bite and had to spit it out. to me, it tasted like dog food. my daughter tried it. she said it tasted like a day old soggy onion ring from burger king. horrible! i will absolutely never go there again!

We sat in the bar and used their special appitizers menu during hapoy hour. Great service and yummy food. Like their house Chardonnay. We did not go into their full dining area.

Really good food and the service was really good. The best so far I have eaten at.
