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.

One of Mom's favorites, but she is waiting for the return of the artichoke ravioli! Huge, freah salad, and they were totally cool about sharing it with those who chose soup. Mom had Chicken Piccata and accidentally forgot to sub the side pasta with Alfredo sauce instead of red (she is tomato adverse) and Harlie our very professional server promptly brought her a small dish of Alfredo topped pasta. Harlie really enhanced our experience with her cheerful, positive, attentive (but not too!) service. It was busy as always, but the pace was not rushed or abrupt. A great time with Mom who doesn't get out much. Thank you!

Excellent food was here for lunch plenty of leftovers for dinner. Egg plant parmigiana was very good and not buried in sauce. They also has a special with rigatoni and egg plant.

Excellent service. Food was so good . Hot and fresh!!! Bathrooms were clean and stocked. The puff pastry lasagna is out of this world !!!! Definitely returning !!!!!

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!

Wow is all I can say!! We haven't been here in years and it was absolutely amazing! The inside has been complete remodeled and is modern and welcoming! I had the Bruschetta Chicken with Zoodles, which were 2nd to none!! My wife had the shrimp scampi, which she said is the best she's ever had!! Our daughter had her usual, chicken fettuccini Alfredo, which never disappoints!! For dessert we got the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake! Even if you don't like cheesecake, you HAVE to try it! Heavenly!! (Pictured) Our waiter, Jordan, was great! Attentive, very nice and personable! The chef, Darren, even came out to the table a couple times to check in! When in Lodi, you gotta stop in to give them a try! You will not be disappointed!!

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.
