I've eaten at Strega twice. In both cases, the food was very good, though a bit overpriced for what you receive. They were able to accommodate a low-sodium meal for an elderly guest we had with us. But that is the extent of the positive things I can say about it. The music started much earlier than we anticipated and was too loud to hear our own conversation. Our waitperson, Craig, overcharged us and when I brought it to his attention, he acted like he already knew about it but forgot to make the correction. Good waitstaff will check the bills before leaving them for their guests. I'm quite sure this was a deliberate attempt to overcharge us on his part. We will not be dining at Strega a third time. As a Salem resident, I had hoped we had a gem in town, but it may be a gem with greedy fingers. So if you dine here, don't forget to check your bill.
Pros: good food, but overpriced
Cons: music is too loud, no parking
