About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.

    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.

    I have been going to this restaurant for over 35 years. It's as tasty now as it was when I was a child. It brings back happy memories. I love the meals which consist of soup/salad main course and dessert (ice cream scoop). While the restaurant has been updated the same ambience is there. Love going!
