" I hadn’t been to The Old Spaghetti Factory for years but decided to drop by and was pleasantly surprised. I was immediately drawn in by the historic ambiance of the place, which feels both cozy and grand. I had the spaghetti and meatballs which were hearty but a bit bland. The portion was generous, and I really liked the free bread and butter that came with the entree. Service took a while, as the restaurant was busy, but my server was polite and attentive when they showed up. I think it’s a great place to take the family for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a great place to have dinner, The Old Spaghetti Factory is definitely worth your time. The food is very filling, especially the garlic bread and pasta, which are a signature here. The service could be improved, as our waiter seemed overwhelmed, which slowed things down a little. However, the vibrant atmosphere compensates well for this. I particularly enjoyed the family-friendly environment. It's a great spot for casual dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Old Spaghetti Factory is a staple for Italian cuisine lovers! I grew up coming here and the nostalgia is real. I tried the chicken parmesan this time, which was fantastic, but I was hoping the portion would be larger. The wait staff was friendly but seemed too busy to give the service that was expected. The decor adds to the overall dining experience, making it a suitable place for family and friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently brought my family to The Old Spaghetti Factory, and we had a nice time overall. The decor is very charming and makes for a great family night out. We ordered a variety of dishes. I was particularly fond of the lobster ravioli which was rich and flavorful, but I found the portion sizes to be smaller than I'd like for the price. The service was friendly, but we did have a 20-minute wait to be seated. Still, we left happy and satisfied, and we will return for more pasta in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a solid choice! The Old Spaghetti Factory provides a welcoming atmosphere, and I enjoy their focus on family dining. I had the rigatoni which had an impressive sauce but found that the portion could be larger. We encountered a longer wait for drinks but the waitress was accommodating despite the chaos on a busy evening. I will definitely keep visiting! " (*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*)
