About this restaurant

Charming
Good for groups
Neighborhood gem

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.

Have not been back to this Restaurant for two years, but was pleasantly surprised with the updating the interior of the restaurant. The food overall was very good. I had some drinks and they were excellent. Our server provided excellent service always checking to make sure we had everything and enjoying our dinner.

I visited Old Spaghetti Factory with my spouse and my son and his partner on a Sunday evening. It had been years since I'd been and I was craving some brown butter on spaghetti. We made a reservation and, oddly, ended up waiting quite awhile for a table, even though there was just a handful of folks waiting and the restaurant is HUGE. I noted that, even with the age of this place, it is well maintained, clean, and doesn't have that odd odor some older restaurants have. The waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We ordered a large side of steamed broccoli with brown butter and mizithra cheese to share and each of us ordered an entree that came with a soup or salad, some delicious bread and a scoop of ice cream or spumoni for dessert. The salad choices include a simple garden salad or a caesar, but you have to pay and additional $2.99 for the Caesar. I ordered the caesar and it was good, if not a bit light on the dressing side. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, which was really tasty; however, it was on the cold side when it arrived at the table. The others in my group ordered garlic shrimp fettuccini and really enjoyed it. Overall, the setting is different and pleasant...a throwback to the 80's and 90's themed restaurants. The food was good and, had it been hot, I would have enjoyed it much more. If you are tired of the same old same old fast casual places, this is different in a retro way and we enjoyed our visit.

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!
