Old Spaghetti Factory doesn't miss! My family likes to come here or take out every now and then and as Italian is my favorite cuisine, I never complain when someone suggests this place. The service is almost always on point and they package everything neatly when we decide to take it to go. My favorite dish is the garlic Mizithra noodles and of course, the salad with pesto dressing and complimentary Spumoni is always fire. I recently saw another Yelper's photo that showed noodles with four different sauces on top so I might break out of my comfort zone next time and try this; it looked amazing. They have a train car or cable car in the middle of the restaurant, which adds to the charm of this location. This location is in the same parking lot as Target, Leslie's and GameStop. Thanks! read more

A solid option for a no frills 3 course meal that is extremely carb heavy. I think most have heard of or have been to the Old Spaghetti Factory. It serves as a staple in some cuisines and does have reliability and big restaurant chain energy. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Most meals are around $20-25 but come with a choice of minestrone soup or salad with choice of dressing. They do serve fresh bread with butter which is seemingly unlimited. It comes out hot and fresh every time. You also get a choice of spumoni or vanilla ice cream for dessert. I ordered the pot pourri which was 4 different sauces that they already serve - marinara, meat, clam, and mizithra cheese. All four were great and what you expect. I think the clam was a stand out to me because of the depth of flavor and slight spice. The chicken parmesan that my partnered ordered was subpar. He will definitely stick to pasta next time. We also had a side of broccoli with mizithra and it was delicious but extremely salty because of the cheese. The ice creams, salads, and soups were as expected. read more

Came in here the lady at the front was not friendly at all. Did not greet us and when she left she just stood there and watch us walk out without saying a word . We were seated in a quiet spot. I had a coupon so that was the reason I was here without it I wouldn't come here . The price is good considering it comes with either minestrone soup or salad , bread with butter and a pasta. For around 20 ish dollars. I ordered the soup instead of the salad. It wasn't bad I would order it again. The coupon was for a classic pasta so I chose the managers special which was half and half. Most of the item in that section didn't include meat. So I chose two that came with meat which was meat sauce and the spicy spaghetti. The marinara sauce wasrunny. When I lifted my noodles to mix it was all watery. You can barely taste any meat in the meat sauce . I think I make better spaghetti sauce at home . The waiter just dropped it off and dashed right away. I couldn't even ask for freshly grated Parmesan . My boyfriend ordered the spinach cheese ravioli with marinara sauce . The sauce was also runny. For dessert we had the spumoni which is so good hence the reason for stars .without it I would rate this place a two star. The waiter did not ask if everything is ok. I had to flag him down for extra refill for the soda. Even when he brought out the food he didn't ask if we wanted more soda. When he came back with a new cup of soda he just left the empty soda cup in the table . read more

Service is still crappy. Came this time as a party of 3. We were seated in booth facing the bar. Drinks took 15 minutes, bread followed 10 minutes later. We had to constantly ask the bartender for refills because our waitress was nowhere to be found. Asked for boxes and again took 15 minutes for boxes!! She dropped off the check and again after 15 minutes never returned so we had to once again ask the bartend to close out our check. And granted, not busy at all so I'm convinced that's not her normal section and she just forgot about us because that spot is pretty out the way. Food however was as it always is, just meh. I did notice they started skimping on their sauces which makes the pasta a tad dry now. Then they up-charging $1.50 for extra sauce. read more

We come to this location regularly and always receive great consistent service. I do typically make reservations for a table on the app in advance and am seated almost immediately when we arrive. I highly recommend getting the app to make reservations and earn rewards! There is a "train" in the middle of the restaurant but it's more of a fabricated one, which is good for accessible seating if needed. There are not a lot of tables within the train, but it does have two half circle booths, two small 2 person tables, and two standard booths. My kids love the Mac and cheese kids meals, which come with either soup/salad/applesauce and ice cream. We regularly order the Meat Lovers Treat and Alfredo dishes. The broccoli with mizithra cheese on top is a great side to share. read more

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Pot Pourri - a sampler of Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter, Meat, Spicy Spaghetti Vesuvius and Marinara sauces. - Italian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I enjoyed a great dinner tonight at the Old a Spaghetti Factory on Laguna Blvd. We were fortunate to be seated in the train where it felt so nice and cozy. I loved it. It was also their 57th Anniversary period with rollback prices for there classic dishes (until 1/31/26, and the dishes were very good. I had the manager's choice, with 2 sauces, and chose the mushroom sauce and mizithra cheese with brown butter. My daughter had the meat sauce and my granddaughter enjoyed the child's fettuccine. They were all accompanied with fresh salad or soup, French bread roll with garlic butter, and spumoni or vanilla ice cream. We also ordered the cheese bread which is so rich on cheese but i forgot to take a photo. Our server, Kris was excellent. He was so nice and very efficient. We really enjoyed having him as our server. It was a great meal with roll back prices! read more

Tried their Pasta Classic - Mizithra cheese and browned butter. It is rich, cheesy, and full of flavor. The nutty taste of the browned butter combined with the salty Mizithra cheese makes it simple but incredibly satisfying. It's definitely my go-to order next time. I also tried the Meat Lover's treat, which comes with meatball, sausage, and meat sauce. It tasted ok. Can order if you're craving something meaty. However, I still prefer the cheesy pasta. Another great thing is that the meal comes complete with bread, soup or salad, and dessert. It's such a great value. Overall, a cozy place with generous portions and classic comfort food. read more

The food here is always delicious. They serve Italian American food in a cozy restaurant. The food and place get 4 stars. The service gets 3 stars. My husband and I came here for lunch. The service was decent. The workers are polite, however, they checked in on us after long periods of waiting. We don't want or expect servers/ hosts to be with us frequently, but they could have been better. We saw a lot of standing and chitchatting among some workers. There weren't a lot of customers when we went here. We had a host seat us after waiting for 10 minutes. It took another 15-20 minutes before someone took our order. All in all, it was a good experience. However, we have had much better service at other establishments. read more

Everytime we would pass by here, I would hope we could find the time to stop by and eat. I had high expectations. The interior is lovely, and the trolley gave a nice touch. But I did not enjoy the food as much as I enjoyed the decor and that warm feeling from their staff. I felt like my order, the rich meaty spaghetti was quite lacking in taste, I was hoping for that sweet-tangy taste from a real tomato that I did not find. I also felt it could use more meat. The Garlic Mizithra and fettucine was salty. The cheesy bread is what I enjoyed a lot. I do appreciate that the pasta come with soup or salad, and an ice cream. read more

Update: It was the weekend, and we were too tired to cook at home. Decided to order take out. I ordered online, that was simple enough. The task was easy, easy to use. We decided to pick up the food, since it wasn't too far away from where we lived. You go the bar area for to go orders. I got my food and headed to the car. In the car, I decided to check to see if everything was in the bag. We order three entrees, soups, bread, dessert and a side of cheese bread. Everything was there, except one soup and a loaf of bread. I was too tired to go back in the restaurant and did not have the mind set to deal with it. It was just one soup and bread; I will not have any. I order spaghetti with clam sauce. It is usually one of my favorites. The pasta tasted bland and it did not have enough sauce. I was so disappointed. I was looking forward to it. The raviolis were kind of mushy too. That was not good. My husband's chicken fettuccini was good. One out of three. I've been coming to the factory for years. We stopped coming here a few years ago, as things were not good. Gave them a try again, still not good. I guess we won't be coming again. read more

Shoutout to Anabel for making our dinner so enjoyable! She was super friendly, kept our drinks full, and was always nearby when we needed something! The food was delicious, but Anabel's service was honestly what stood out the most. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. 10/10. Give that girl a raise! read more

I am fully convinced that Old Spaghetti Factory as a company deliberately gives you less sauce and salad dressing so you can ask for more and they can charge more. A once nice restaurant turned to nickel and diming their customers like they're McDonald's. Sad it's come to that. Practically a scam. read more

Pretty great service for a Christmas party and for how busy it was. The ambiance is loud and busy. No separation of groups, constant noise and conversation. Hubby and I had meatlovers, chicken Ceasar salad and broccoli with mizithra with minestrone soup and tiramisu. Gin and tonic and old fashioned. read more

Came in last night for father's day sat right by the Kitchen entrance with our larger party. Samri our server tonight was great, very attentive for how busy she was, We did go up to the Bar to order our drinks where we were greeted by the Manager(Matt) who helped make our new favorite Cocktail the Dragon Drop, he offered to take the drinks to our table, when he delivered our drinks they were amazing! He got everyone else refills, more bread and said if we needed anything to flag him down, way to be a rockstar Matt! Overall excellent experience at the Elk Grove location! Delicious food, great drinks and overall atmosphere was spot on. read more

Had a good time. Server knew when to approach and when to give us time. Wish I knew his name but think it started with a D. I got a mixed sauce managers favorite dish which I wouldn't have expected to work but my mom recommended it to me in the past. I'll be recommending the same in the future read more

I haven't been to Old Spaghetti Factory in a long time and the one I remember from the Bay Area felt really old so I was surprised when I walked into this one! It looks really nice inside. Not sure if they renovated it but I was honestly impressed. It's spacious, clean, and the holiday decor definitely adds to the cozy, festive mood of the place. The food was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed everything. And the service was great! Our server kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a really nice experience and I'd definitely come back! read more

The managers favorite has always been a family choice for us. The clam sauce and mizithra cheese go extremely well together. The creamy pesto dressing is really good as well. If you are dining in sitting in the train car is always fun. Pricing over the years have deterred us from eating here as often as we used to. Service is hot or miss and so is the portion sizing. Overall a good option for lunch or dinner. read more

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Table setting - Italian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Our family are regular visitors at this location. We have a couple favorite servers and stick to the same few dishes as not all the food is to our taste. The other evening we were there and they were short staffed, or at least appeared to be. A little slower than normal but no less attentive. Food tasted good and bread was warm and plenty. I did notice a manager there not doing much of nothing. Larger man, all black, with facial hair. I think his name was Marty or Matt. It made me upset to see the busser, host, and two servers busting it out making guests feel welcomed and tended to with a manager who didn't appear to care. I wanted to recognize the staff for their hospitality and admonish the ineptness and lack of respect by the manager that day. read more

Came Saturday around 3pm. Seated promptly. Service was adequate. Ordered a large side of broccoli with mizithra cheese and browned butter ($8.50). Served luke warm. And smaller than expected. I used to order it from door dash and I remember it being much larger, where i had leftovers. But I finished this plate no problem. Tortellini with Alfredo sauce ($20). This is pretty good. The spinach tortellini are filled with chicken and mortadella, and drizzled with Alfredo sauce (the pasta is not tossed in the sauce). Maybe I'm just cheap, but you get exactly enough for one meal, and usually with pasta I have leftovers. Garlic shrimp fettuccine ($23.25) has shrimp in a garlic & cream sauce with lemon and white wine. The shrimp were large and fresh. Cream sauce was very similar to the alfredo. Also ordered a "whole seasoned chicken breast" ($6.50). There is no description so I figured this would be a grilled piece of chicken. It is actually what I imagine to be a frozen breaded chicken breast that's been popped in the toaster oven. Also, just FYI, they also have a "diced, marinated chicken" which I was told is not breaded. The fact that this chicken ONLY comes diced, leads me to believe that this is also frozen. Otherwise why couldn't they just NOT dice it? Both entrees come with soup or salad and a scoop of ice cream. Iced tea was good. Dimly lit restaurant with booths, tables, and a small bar. Easy access. read more

I'm not sure why the ratings for this place are so low - I had a great experience here. Food wise - ordered the Tuscan chicken special and the garlic mizithra and would highly recommend both. Never would've thought to use Greek cheese in a pasta dish but it coats the noodles so well. Soup comes w each dish as well as ice cream... I'm not gonna complain.. - waitresses are super attentive and friendly - food came out extremely quick - don't feel crammed into the restaurant, the music was nice and I liked the ambiance - manager came to check on us a few times I'm leaving a review because I think this place deserves a way higher rating especially considering how bad the service has been at other places lately. And this place is still family owned! read more

As regular customers of The Old Spaghetti Factory, we have always enjoyed dining here, especially because our kids love the food. However, we feel compelled to share our experiences with our server, Anna, as they have been consistently disappointing. On several occasions, Anna has displayed a rudely dismissive attitude. The last time we dined, when I inquired about the timing of my children's entrées, her response was frustratingly vague: "If you don't see it come, it means it wasn't done yet." This interaction left us feeling unwelcome and overlooked, which is disappointing for loyal customers. Despite this, our love for the ambiance and the food brought us back, hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, it seems that Anna's service has not improved. During our most recent visit, she placed our food on the table in a manner that felt more like slamming it down than serving it. She appeared rushed and didn't allow us to ask any questions before she walked away. We genuinely hope this feedback helps improve service for all guests, as we truly enjoy the restaurant. We believe that with better service, our dining experience can match the delicious food we've come to love. Yeah, that's good Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

After having ordered food to go from this location and being thoroughly delighted by the mizhra (minus the mushrooms), I decided to eat here with my husband. The service was great.

Old time favorite from a past life living in California. Love the brown butter and mizithra cheese spaghetti. Sourdough bread and butter, soup or salad, a dessert comes with your meal.

The Spinach & Artichoke Dip appetizer - was extremely dry, the artichoke was under cooked, cheese was non existent, lacked flavor, and definitely by far the worst dip I ever had in my life. I would rate it 0 out of 10 and would not recommend to anyone. The chicken masala was also bland. Chicken was hard to cut through, so either the knife was not sharp or the chicken or breaded was overcooked, I would rate this 1 out of 10. The fettuccine Alfredo and Kids Mac and cheese tasted fine - simple and plain, hard to mess these up. Our server was friendly, but not attentive. He never refilled our emptied drinks or even offered. He checked on us once over the period of an hour - which was when I asked for the check, The complimentary bread and ice cream were the only highlight of my dining experience. In addition - The buser who clean the tables after people's dining experience would wipe off the dirty tables and put the used dishes in the black bucket; get clean utensils (forks, spoons and knife) with his bare dirty hands directly after and put it on the table. read more

I have been a customer of OSF for decades. Tonight was the 1st time service was absolutely terrible. Berry was our server. Pleasant enough but either be lacked an understanding of the progression of dinner from drinks, apps, salad, entree etc. or simply did not care. We were seated & greeted promptly. Berry took our drink order then shortly thereafter returned for our food order. Our drinks came. Then came the salads. Then came our appetizer. When he dropped this he made no mention of anything being out of order. I was not too upset. Yet. He no more than left our table when a runner appears with our entrees. Now we have 3 courses on the table simultaneously. Berry did come and check on us by the time it was necessary to ask for a box. His goal was to ask if we wanted ice cream. Again, very promptly he returned with this and the check. Not one plate was removed from our table. He actually had to push things around in order to find room to set the ice cream down. I'm not writing this because we were expecting something unusual. I'm aware of where we were having dinner and weren't looking for an extended leisurely dining experience. We were expecting a server to be aware of basic dining customs as well as a legit desire to see his tables actually at least halfway enjoyed themselves. My opinion is he was in a hurry to clock out and put our orders all in at the same time. I've been a server for nearly 40 years and am aware of how it goes. No complaints about quality of food. We left our app and salads nearly untouched. I was too pissed off by the end to really care if I was hungry or not. Yes we'll be back. I'm perfectly aware that one bad experience out of many is not enough to label the whole chain as bad. It's overall very good. I'm simply angry enough about tonight's experience that I'm worn a review here. I don't believe for a minute that Berry is unaware of how things are supposed to work. He simply didn't give a damn tonight. read more

Dinners come wuth salad or soup AND dessert. All in one cost. Service is good. Old world charm.

This is an old tried and true dining establishment that has been around since I graduated college. The good parts of the story is there are no surprises, you are going to get the standard American pasta dish with different sauces toppings etc. if you just want a quick spaghetti fix this is your place. The food is dense, but good with choice of soup or salad and ice cream for dessert. I would rather go to a real Italian restaurant, but when you just want to knock out your spaghetti craving it will do in a pinch. read more
