Spent $200 for take out for daughter's birthday. The food was sub par. Fettuccini had no flavor, raviolis' sauce tasted like it was from a can or jar from supermarket. The bread wasn't even good. The only think we liked was the dressing on salad

Lovely Italian style cafe. Light pop music doesn't bother you and you can easily keep talking with your company. Tables are on a good distance from each other so guests have plenty of room which gives a more private atmosphere.They might not have steaks and burgers but it's a different style. So enjoy. )

Strings is smaller and more quaint than Olive Garden. The quality is also overall better. Not a big fast food cjain, also not quite at the level of a small mom and pop operation. Great place for lunch when not overly packed. Had the ravioli with marinara and meatballs. Price was good for portion and great for quality. If you like meatballs I can't recommend theirs enough, they were Fantastic! My only complaint is the booths get pushed around a bit so even smaller people feel cramped and larger than small people will feel claustraphobic. Ask for a table and everything else will go smoothly.Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian selections here. My partner had the cheese ravioli in cheese sauce. I took a bite and they were very tender and definitely cheesey! I'll keep my meatballs though.Wheelchair accessibility: A little crowded for chair manoverability, but also with a little help things can be moved easily as long as its not busy. Entry access is good

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.
