" As a long-time patron of The Old Spaghetti Factory, I can say it never disappoints. The atmosphere is uniquely nostalgic, bringing back fond memories of family dinners. The portions are generous, and the prices remain reasonable considering the quality of the dishes. I highly recommend trying their spaghetti with mizithra cheese, it's a specialty that you can't find anywhere else! We did have a bit of a wait for our food, but the service was friendly, and the staff worked hard to accommodate everyone as the restaurant was busy. I will surely continue supporting this establishment! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great spot for Italian cuisine lovers! My partner and I had dinner there last night, and though it was busy, the vibe was enjoyable. I had the spaghetti and meatballs which satisfied my craving. The service was good, but once again, we faced a bit of a wait for our food. I always appreciate the complimentary ice cream at the end of the meal. I'd say if you're looking for a fun place to have dinner, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at The Old Spaghetti Factory is unmatched. I took my mom for her birthday, and she loved the historic charm. The service was very friendly, and we enjoyed a leisurely dinner. The fettuccine was creamy and delectable, though we wished there were more options on the menu. Overall, we had a wonderful time and left feeling satisfied with our meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Old Spaghetti Factory was quite an adventure! Their unique decor certainly sets the ambiance. The marinara sauce on my dish was just exquisite, quite different from other places I've tried. I do wish the portion sizes were larger for the price. Service was adequate; I felt our waiter could have been a bit more attentive. Still, a lovely experience overall. I would come back despite some service quirks. " (*Curated Review*)
