Strings Italian Cafe Visalia Reviews
A kid friendly family favorite, the house salad ok its own is a meal, fresh bread, cheesy shells, and amazing pizza and calzones. You can’t go wrong with their menu. We’ve gone as small party’s and large and we’ve never been disappointed. Italian sodas are a favorite also.
It was a overall great experience. Every item was delicious! The highlight was the staff and cheese stuffed shells! My bill was just under $100 . I tried multiple items. Perfect place for date night. I do recommend trying for yourself. I do recommend widening the parking spaces by the entrance. It was difficult getting in and out of vehicle.
Excellent food, great service and the owner came to our table, on request, and chatted with us for several minutes. Our new go to restaurant!!
Stopped in on a whim after hiking from sequoia. Food is very good. I would not pass up on this place. Chicken Parmesan was juicy, salmon was cooked well and flavored well. Pasta was tasty.
The best Italian food in Visalia! Much better than that other mainstream place. This is a quiet, family friendly and welcoming restaurant. The waiters and managers are all super nice. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting or someone that wants genuine and authentic Italian cuisine. I can promise you, you won’t be disappointed. Without a doubt, some of the best food in the Central Valley.
We recently dined at Strings Italian Café in Visalia, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm hospitality and attentive service. The food was fantastic! We started with the house salad, which was fresh and crisp, paired with a flavorful dressing that was the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. For our main dishes, the meat lovers calzone was packed with delicious, high-quality meats and gooey cheese, baked to perfection with a golden, flaky crust. The chicken marinara sandwich was another standout—juicy chicken smothered in rich marinara sauce, served with a side of creamy fettuccine Alfredo that was simply irresistible. To top it off, the kids' cheese pizza was a hit! It had a perfect crust, just the right amount of sauce, and melty cheese that our little one absolutely loved. The portions were on point. Everything was served hot and fresh. The cozy atmosphere and excellent service truly made this meal memorable. If you're in the Visalia area and looking for authentic Italian cuisine, Strings Italian Café is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!
This place is a wonderful gem in Visalia! We came as soon as they opened at 4 pm and had a wonderful experience. The pasta dishes were delicious and the garlic bread they give was so good (were hungry and already dug in before I took the pictures), and the servers were very attentive and friendly. We would absolutely return if we were in the area again.
Everything from the moment we arrived until we left was outstanding! Service from all the servers and host was incredible. Everyone was genuine, helpful, and attentive. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. By far, one of the best dining experiences our family has ever had. Be sure to treat yourself and visit Strings in Visalia!
My first time here with my husband and kids. It was amazing. Loved the food ,environment and service. It was so great that I finished my food. Also, you can’t beat the price of free meals for your kids for each adult meal. I will definitely come here again and I will highly recommend this place to everyone. This was so worth the drive from Fresno to Visalia.☺️
Service was great and the bread was delicious; it reminded me just bit of pizza crust, which I loved. I had the Pasta Sienna and added broccoli. The vegetables were tender and well cooked. The pasta was a good texture and softness. I really loved the hint of curry in the sauce. Overall a wonderful experience.
We wound up here because Olive G. had an hour and a half wait time. We opted to give Strings a try. I have to say that I was extremely pleased with everything from the atmosphere, food (delicious), wine, and a big 5 🌟 to Lacey, our waitress, for adding to a great experience. I will definitely be back soon.
Don't really have a complaint, it wasn't bad. My mom and I waiting for almost an hour, our server was Lacee, I remember only because that's my name as well, she was great. We were not impressed with the food, it wasn't bad but it didn't seem "homemade". I would compare it to The Olive Garden. We got the Artichoke dip, Stings Carbanara and Artichoke and Chicken Ravioli.
Not much to say. The restaurant is nice and a good place to go to enjoy a meal. However, I've been here multiple times. Not because I chose. The food always lacks flavor. Not one time have I not needed to add salt. Gave 3 stars only because customer service is great. Other than that the food is a 2 out of 5 stars and that's being generous.
We went to Strings in Visalia for my mother-in-law’s birthday, and unfortunately the experience wasn’t great. My wife and I normally share a meal because I’ve had weight-loss surgery and can only eat a few bites. We’ve never had an issue before, at any other restaurants, but this time we were charged a $10.99 sharing fee for this one. The waitress never mentioned the charge ahead of time. Yes, it’s written at the bottom of the menu, but it would’ve been helpful if she had explained it when we ordered — especially since I could’ve chosen an appetizer instead and actually gotten something out of paying extra. On top of that, we asked if they did anything for birthdays, and the waitress told us no — not even a simple “happy birthday.” So we ended up singing to my mother-in-law ourselves at the table. Overall, the service and communication made it a disappointing visit, especially for a special occasion. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning, and they’ve lost a customer.
On October 25,2025 Strings catered my son’s wedding reception dinner. A day later EVERYONE who attended the reception became VERY ill from the food. This is unacceptable and should never happen to anyone else!
