Service: 4.0 perfectly paced Food: 3.2 We haven't been to OSF in a long time so wifey gave me the night off from cooking. We arrive 5'ish so hopefully before the dinner rush and we were right. We got greeted and seated right away. Our server took drink orders and brought over bread and butter for our table. After a few minutes we ordered: Pot poured and I could decide, so I let the server pick between the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo or Chicken Parmigiana. Soup and salad delivered promptly followed by our main course which I receive the chicken fettuccini. Food was good, but nothing stood out to write about. BTW: I truly appreciate how the waiter spaced out our food throughout our entire meal, it's a lost art. Oh and we did get the spumoni ice cream too! read more

Went to the Elk Grove Location for dinner. We were going to go to the Sac Location but their parking sucked and opted to go to this one which was on our route home. I made an open table reservation, they sat us promptly when we arrived, they were accommodating and gave us a table right in the front so my grandma didnt have to walk far. The server came over and took drink order for me while the others went to the restroom. They started us an order of garlic cheese bread. The old spaghetti factory has been one of my favorites since I was a child, the closest being nearly 2 hours from where we live now we go when we are near one of the locations. Their special hot peach margarita was delicious, I hope they decide to keep it on the menu long term. I always get the browned butter mizithra spaghetti and an order of the mizithra broccoli. My grandma got the lobster and crab Ravioli and she said they were to die for. Overall great trip to this location read more

It had been several years since I've eaten at this restaurant and honestly I thoroughly enjoyed our meal! We showed up at about 6:00 pm on a Friday night and we were seated right away in a cozy booth. Our waiter was great, he was still fairly new and gave us a warning but he was great and so friendly. Wish I remember his name! The garlic cheese bread was ah-mazing!! It was super garlic and cheesy and came with a delicious marinara sauce dip it in. We tried so hard not to eat it all before our meal came lol. The dinner salad was good and fresh and I remembered how much I love the pesto ranch that came on it. My husband had the lasagna and I had the Garlic Mizithra which is Spaghetti with Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter, garlic, bacon, and mushrooms. I enjoyed my meal soooo much. Even though the sauce is made with butter, it still is very light and goes down so easy. My husband's lasagna was also very good and we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. We of course, ended it with the spumoni ice cream that is included with the meal and honestly one of my favorite ways to end the meal. I don't think I will wait so long to go back.! read more

Decent food. I mean it's pasta, it's really hard to mess up. With that being said, my wife got the half and half and it's just all pasta. For a couple bucks more you can get a couple meatballs and sausage. So value is a 3. The waitress who was also like a hostess? She was nice, attended to us quickly. I haven't been inside in over 20 years. It's decent. I wouldn't say it's great. 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

I definitely do not understand the one star reviews. I've been to this place quite a number of times and it's the only place where I think their spaghetti is really good. I've been to other Italian places and this is my favorite. I guess because their sauce is similar to mine. I've never had a bad meal or bad service. I had the Pot Pourri and my sister had the ravioli with spinach and cheese. We both loved our meals and the service. We also enjoyed our Tiramisu which is actually the best I've found it ages!!! 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

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

Yay! Your 5 stars are back! We were able to make reservations & walk right in. It was very busy! Our food & service were outstanding. LEON our server deserves a raise!

The restaurant always has a good vibe. read more

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

The service was good, but the food was not this time. We usually enjoy this place and had used this location on various occasions from wedding rehearsals to birthdays, but this most recent stent is having us question coming back. Our cheesy came out cold almost like it's been sitting at room temperature and the salad had to be sent back because of the lettuce appearing brown and slimy. The next day we had food poisoning. 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

So after at least one year of not eating here I gave it another try. It's abysmal. Service is shit. Slow and lazy. Then, didn't get our salads at all and she refused to take $$ off the bill for them. $52+ for two meals with no salad, no ice cream (just didn't feel like ice cream at this point). NEVER AGAIN. Such a ripoff. 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

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

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.

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'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.
