About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Dining at The Old Spaghetti Factory is an experience. For decades, they have invested meticulous attention to their unique designs and authentic vintage décor. Every location is adorned with antique lighting, intricate stained glass displays, large colorful booths, and an old-fashioned trolley car for guests to dine in. It’s the perfect atmosphere for a family celebration, a large group event, or a special dinner date.

A family business since 1969, their founding philosophy — “a memorable dining experience doesn’t have to cost a lot of money” — is perhaps more relevant now than ever. Every entree is a "complete meal," served with hot freshly-baked sourdough bread, soup or salad, and ice cream for dessert at no extra charge.

    We were a group of 3, and we were given a table perfect for 3. The portions were large. The food was tasty. They have cut back on the varieties of ice cream, but it is still part of the meal!

    Great choice for a celebratory dinner. Overall the food was great except for the chicken piccata - the chicken was overcooked and dry. The angel hair past is was served with was excellent as was all other choice my family members had. Service was amazing with Tom considering how busy the restaurant was on Mother’s Day! I will continue to recommend this location regardless of the overcooked chicken. Thank you.

    We went on Mother's Day, so we expected a crowd. We had a reservation for 26 and were seated promptly. Service was slow, as expected, for the special day. But as a family, we just visited and enjoyed the day. All the food came out at the same time, no waiting for different people, and was very good. All in all, we enjoyed the meal and didn't feel rushed. Calamari was delicious, as was the Mizirathi. Kids meals were awesome. A great place for a celebration.

    We had reservations for 11 people. We had to wait over 20 minutes to get seated, but in fairness, it was Mother's Day, and they were very busy. The service was great. Our waiter was very efficient, and the food was delicious. Once we were seated, everything moved smoothly, and our food was delivered in a timely manner.

    Excellent service by Hannah & delicious food as usual. I had a reservation but arrived early and was seated within 15 minutes by the lovely 17 year old hostess, sorry, I didn't get her name. The Manager came by the table since I requested the wifi password for guests, we saw him again as he brought out a dish. I'm not sure if he's new since the last time we were here but I can say things have improved. The restaurant looks brighter, cleaner and runs smooth.
