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.

    Me and my family’s night at The Old Spaghetti Factory was a night we could never forget. This restraunt never lets us down. Drinks and appetizers were immediately brought out and our server was absolutely amazing. She was quick, kind, and we loved her. I was a little disappointed in the children’s soup. But my other family thought it was very delish. Salad dressing deserves 5 ⭐️s. Dinner filled me up perfectly and was absolutely excellent. Serving sizes were very large and filling and perfect temperature hot. I would suggest a little bit more Parmesan cheese on the fettuccine Alfredo. But it was VERY good!!! It was very nice to have ice cream come my meal instead of paying extra for it. All the choices were the bomb!!! And the sherbet was fantastic. Thank you so much for excellent service and we cant wait to come back!!🍝❤️
