" I had the pleasure of dining at the Old Spaghetti Factory last weekend. The atmosphere was delightful, with beautiful decor that reminded me of an old Italian bistro. The food was also superb; I ordered the mizithra cheese spaghetti which had just the right amount of butter flavor. Our waitress was friendly but slightly distracted, which was understandable due to the busy Saturday night. Overall, a lovely dining experience. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my visit! The ambiance is wonderful, filled with unique decor and warm lighting. I tried the brown butter spaghetti, and it was exquisite! The staff were very friendly and seemed to genuinely care about our experience. We even got complimentary bread which was delightful. The only downside was the wait time, it was quite busy, but worth it in the end. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy Italian meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing experience last Friday! My family and I celebrated my daughter's birthday here, and from start to finish, it was fabulous. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and we managed to sit by the patio which offered stunning views of the water. The food was delicious, we ordered a variety including the lasagna and spumoni for dessert. The kids especially loved the cotton candy drink! The service was excellent, with our server being very accommodating and friendly. I'll definitely recommend this gem to others and plan to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A classic spot in Portland! I’ve been coming here for years and always find myself enjoying the nostalgia of it all. The food has varied in authenticity over the years, but it still holds a special place in my heart. I ordered the spaghetti with marinara—a simple but satisfying choice. The atmosphere is filled with charm, and our server was friendly. I wish they had more distinct regional dishes on the menu, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a fun place to dine! I went for a dinner date and we adored the Victorian-themed seating. The food was good, though not quite remarkable. I had the chicken primavera and my date ordered the manicotti. Everything tasted well but missed the authentic Italian flair we were hoping for. However, the service was polite and attentive, and we enjoyed our time overall. I might come back but likely for the ambiance rather than the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here for the first time after hearing good things. I found the ambiance lovely but the food itself to be quite ordinary. I had the standard spaghetti and meatballs, expecting homemade sauce but ended up with a pretty average dish. On a positive note, the service was quick, and our server was lovely and attentive. Sadly, the food didn't live up to my high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a disappointing visit. We had high hopes based on previous experiences, but this time the food fell flat. I ordered the alfredo and found it overly rich, which made it hard to finish. The service was also lacking, we wanted more bread but had to wait a long time. The atmosphere was nice, but it wasn't enough to save the meal for us. We might give it one more chance, but I’m not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)
