Horrible!!!!! my close friend, invited me out to surprise me for lunch along with my son, when I noticed it was strings I was excited to order some cioppino. We ordered two appetizers along with our meals. The waiter asked if we wanted our appetizers before our meal we told her yes. 10 minutes later our meals comes out but no appetizers. As I’m eating my food, I smell this stench coming from my bowl. I couldn’t figure out what it was until I picked up a piece of the fish, and it smelled as if it had been sitting out for days. I went and found the waiter to let her know, she comes back and tells me you have to pay for the salad though lol we paid for our meals even though no one wanted to finish eating because if the fish was rotten, what else could have been bad. I felt bad for my friend. She felt bad and it was just all bad. Gordon Ramsay needs to check the kitchen. I definitely did not finish it!!!!!!! Let’s not lie! The fish was so bad how was I to finish it?

Such a beautiful environment with lovely attentive staff. I got their FRUTTI DI MARE with their house salad and it was INCREDIBLE, my husband got their BAKED LASAGNA DUO with a minestrone soup and he said it was EXQUISITE. We also got dessert which was the LEMON ITALIAN CREAM CAKE and oh…my…god it was AMAZING. We definitely recommend this restaurant it’s definitely worth it.

Extremely disappointed I recently rediscovered this restaurant on accident going to togos. I took my closest friend yesterday who I first introduced to strings about twelve years ago in vacaville. So with expectations kind of high we go to lunch and it was so sad. The atmosphere is blind. My friend Orders her Favorite dish that she hasn't had in years from this amazing restaurant. When she gets her food the fish is so old it smells like vinegar. I can smell her food from across The table. It smells so bad it ruined my food and the other person that we were with. The waiter forgot our appetizer. It was just disappointing.

A delicious meal for the whole family to enjoy, with a variety of Italian cuisine. Easily the best menu item is the seafood bisque, it is to die for. The owners and staff are nice, friendly people.

Strings Italian Cafe totally knocked my socks off! ????? The ambiance? Cozy and inviting, like a warm hug from your Italian grandma. The service? Top-notch – the staff treated me like family! And the food, oh the food! Each dish was a symphony of flavors. The pasta? Cooked to perfection. The sauce? A secret family recipe that I'd gladly sell my soul to get a peek at. Whether it's their melt-in-your-mouth lasagna or the tiramisu that's like a cloud of sweet heaven, Strings never misses a beat. It's my go-to spot for that authentic Italian taste and soul-satisfying experience. Bellissimo!!!

DO NOT ORDER THEIR GARLIC ZUCCHINI for $11.50!! You get exactly 4 LITTLE SLICES for $11.50!! I called them and asked if this could possibly be correct and the girl said yes!! No apology or explanation, just UNBELIEVABLE!!! Will never eat or order from here again and I will let everyone I know what a RIP OFF they have going on!!!

I usually love Strings. Unfortunately this one is just bad. Food quality was poor. Service was low level. The restaurant was also old and dingy. We drove way out of the way to go to it also and was very disappointed.

I used String's for my wedding catering, which was 250 + people. I now recommend them to everyone I know who is putting on an event. I got sooo many compliments about the food!! Their Lasagna was a dynamic staple entree, but we also included Fettuccine Alfredo and a couple other dishes. I think it came to $6/$7 per person, about $2,000! WHAT!? ? We then did our own salad and rolls. I plan to go back with my hubby for every anniversary. ? Thank you, String's!
