" The Old Spaghetti Factory has an enchanting ambiance, perfect for a relaxing meal. I tried their famous spaghetti dish, but honestly, it was pretty average. While my meal was good enough, it wasn’t as authentic as I recall from traditional Italian kitchens. The service was prompt, and the staff were polite, which saved the experience for me. Overall, a decent spot if you’re in Portland, but I’ll be searching for more traditional offerings on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing family gathering here! The restaurant handled our large group beautifully. Food was on point—from the creamy pesto to the chicken alfredo, everything was delicious. Our server was extremely helpful and patient with the kids. The views from our table were stunning. The only minor issue was the timing of our meal; it came out a bit slower than anticipated, but overall, we were happy with our experience, and it's a restaurant we recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yesterday was my first time at The Old Spaghetti Factory. I was taken by the extraordinary decor. It felt grand yet homey. I felt the food was decent but didn’t wow me as I expected big things given its reputation. The lasagna seemed a bit bland compared to other places I've visited. The service, however, was attentive, and my waiter was very courteous. I may give it another shot to try other options on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was just okay. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, but the food lacked that homemade Italian charm. I'm used to bold flavors, and this place fell short on that front. Our server was friendly, but felt rushed and overwhelmed. Maybe I caught them on a busy night, but I’ll likely try another place next time looking for Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory recently. The setting is just beautiful, especially by the riverside! I tried the baked ziti, and it was decent, though not the authentic Italian experience I was hoping for. However, the staff were very friendly, and the overall vibe was charming. I appreciated the quick service. I would recommend it if you're up for a relaxed evening out! " (*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*)

" 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*)
