Sandy's - Plymouth

The atmosphere was 5*, but that 's all that was. Our waiter was very pleasant, but based on his performance, he had less than two weeks experience as a waiter, and had received almost no training. The list of mistakes could go on for many paragraphs, so I 'll concentrate on the food. The wine list had a Zinfandel Blend . I asked what was in the blend. According to our waiter, no one who worked there could answer this question. If you charge $70 for a bottle of wine, you could at least know something about it. I started with a Caesar Salad with Served with our homemade Caesar dressing. . It must have been homemade because supermarket dressing is much better. The dressing was thin and tasteless. True Caesar dressing has anchovies. Many restaurants will add some anchovy paste instead of real anchovies to at least provide some anchovy flavor. This dressing had nothing. There was some small amount of cheese, but nowhere enough. If you are wanting anything more than some romaine lettuce with tasteless white dressing, avoid this menu item. I 'll give it 2*s only because the romaine was fresh. When we noticed other tables with bread when we had none, we asked for some. After the waiter delivered bread to another table who arrived after us, we finally got ours. The bread was good. For my main coarse, I had the Bracioletina di Vitello. The consistency was good, but it had almost no taste. I give it 3*s. Three of us ordered the same veal dish. Two of us got potatoes with our dish, my wife did not. For desert, I had the Key Lime Pie. I have spent a great deal of time in the Florida Keys and I know what good Key Lime Pie tastes like. Again, good consistency, but almost no taste. There was so little lime flavor, you could hardly tell it was supposed to be a Key Lime Pie. I give it 2*s for not tasting bad. Even after we had finished our desert and were leaving the table, there were empty main course dishes in the table including a large bowl of mussel shells. The bill for four people (1 bottle of wine, 4 apps, 4 mains, 2 desserts) came to $292 before tax and tip. At half the price, I could have been more forgiving with my review. I will not go back.

I booked reservations for 3 via Resy, the app I was directed to from Cafe Strega's website. We had 5:00 reservations the Saturday before Easter. There were open tables throughout our meal. SERVICE: Ashley was a wonderful server. She is friendly, attentive and knows the menu well. She checked on us and ensured we had everything we needed. BAR: Cosmo was excellent. $13, generous size and excellent taste. There are many wine choices and reasonable prices. FOOD: Meatball app is excellent. 2 huge meatballs made with quality meat and super flavorful, as is the sauce it is served in. The salmon special was good, a teeny bit on the dry side. Others had the carbonara and ravioli and commented they were outstanding, so I'll probably stick with the pasta dishes for future visits. ATMOSPHERE: Warm feel with a view of the water. We even saw a bride outside during her photo shoot! Music of the right genre and volume added to the comfortable ambiance. When I booked, there was a question if we were celebrating a specific occasion, which we were. However, that was not recognized by Cafe Strega. I thought maybe a candle would be stuck in the dessert we ordered, but nope. Yes, I could have said something, but at the time it just seemed petty to bring up after the dessert was delivered. So my guidance would be if it is a special occasion, mention it to the host and or server to ensure it is recognized.

Strega is a wonderful restaurant. We've been going there for years. Mostly I have the chicken parmigiani and ask for puttenesca for the sauce on my pasta. My husband loves the carbonara but had pasta Boscarello with meatball appetizer. The drinks are always generous, and we love the staff.

I had driven past this place for several years before I ever stopped in, and I regret not going in sooner! They have the cutest dining room with great views of the water and park area. Service was fast, wine was outstanding, and the prices were very fair. Definitely recommend a bottle of Pinot Noir paired with any of their pasta dishes and don't forget to try the oil with red pepper flakes on your bread! Food portions were perfect and quality was 10/10. Can't wait to come back here!

This is our second time dining at Cafe Strega and both times were superb. Its the North End in Plymouth. I absolutely love their red sauce! Last night we went to celebrate my birthday. There were 4 of us and we were all loving our plates! I had the chicken parm. Large plate. The chicken is ao tender and not overdone! The cheese is incredible. They use the best ingredients and it shows. We also had Penne alla siciliana (eggplant), Spaghetti al Fruiti Di Mare (shrimp only) and Pollo Saltimbocca. Everyone raved! Also, we were seated by the window in the glassed room. Thank you!
