I've been going here since I was little and it's great any location you enter! My fav is the potpourii because I love a little bit of everything!

Worst

An absolute disaster 12/7/2006

Can I give 0 stars?\r \r Before dinner, I was having a martini at the bar. The rim of the glass was broken and I cut my lip. I told the bartender and he moaned ""I guess I have to make another one then..."" He did not even apologize.\r \r We sat down for dinner. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo. The order was slow to arrive. When it did, I took a bite into what I thought was a piece of cheese melted on the top. Turned out to be plastic wrap melted into the noodles about the size of half a dollar bill.\r \r I immediately called for the manager. At that point we had consumed our salad and about 1/2 a glass of wine each. I told the manager what happened in the dining room and the bar, that we intended to leave and I would not expect to pay for any of this.\r \r He said ""that's fine"". Never apologized. Nothing. We left and will never return. more

Cute place, so-so food 11/24/2006

My girlfriend introduced me to this place. I liked the atmosphere here but the food wasn't that great. We had spaghetti in white wine sauce and it was surprisingly dry. Our service could've been better. I'd come back if I had to, more

nice atmosphere and decent pasta 11/21/2006

This old spaghetti factory has bad service; my drink takes a long time to be filled; they run out of bread and their browned butter pasta is always dry. The atmosphere is pleasant and nice, but that doesn't make up for the food. Pros: validated parking Cons: bad service more

Good Pasta - Great location 8/17/2006

I recommend sticking with the pasta, the sauces are all good and they also offer whole wheat pasta as an alternative. We've tried the Marsala, and weren't too happy with that. It's a little spendy for Pasta, but the restaraunt is in a great spot downtown with free parking (after 6) across the street. The decor is casual and friendly, and if you don't get seat right away, there are comfortable old couches to lounge on while you wait for your table. Once you do get your table, the servers are very friendly and you get your food fast. Pros: Location, Service, Decor Cons: Small Portions, Pricey more

Great Atmosphere, Nice choice of food, good taste, quality service. 6/20/2006

I have gone here several times, always in the evening hours. I always have to wait for a table, but that is the sign of a busy place, right? And if it wasn't any good, people wouldn't be waiting. It's not the best in the world, but overall it offers choice, good taste, and quality service. Pros: Location, Ambience, Price Cons: Parking, Waiting queue more

Always a favorite... 9/10/2005

I have had slightly better food, but this place will always be special to me and I have not met a single dish of theirs yet that I have not liked. This is a place that I will always come back to not just for the food but for the ambience and the pleasant staff! Pros: pasta, service Cons: seating more

8 stars for the Old Spaghetti Factory 7/22/2002

I took my middle-aged dad here for a casual dinner and we had a lot of fun! The menu isn't huge and the food is plain, but the full-dinner style (each entree comes with salad, dessert, and bread) made it a great value. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. It's a silly place, wonderful for children, because of the Wild West theme, the train-car-open-kitchen, the oversized chairs, and the video games upstairs. Overall a fun place if you're looking for a very affordable, fun, loud time! Pros: Value, Good location, Service Cons: Plain food, Loud more
