I haven't been a big fan of The Old Spaghetti Factory for almost two decades. I felt like the last few times I had dined in, the flavor of the food was like opening a can of spaghetti-o's. Or a jar of Alfredo sauce... it had zero appeal to me.. that has changed. I think the restaurant itself is gorgeous. The Old Spaghetti Factory is like the size of a 2 story house with 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms... ok, ok, maybe bigger, but as a child, I can remember wanting to go out to eat here. I think the building is stunning, especially on the inside and it feels like you are walking into someone's home. It is all wood trimmed, wooden floors, wooden banister... Is it weird that there is a smell in here? Not a bad smell, but familiar and it has lingered inside of this restaurant for 20+ years. It makes me feel nostalgic... As of today, I am a fan of the Chicken Picatta. This dish comes with angel hair pasta topped with browned butter and mizithra cheese, and chicken breast topped with a medley of butter, lemon, capers, shallots, and tomatoes. The garlic cheese bread is probably one of my favorite garlic breads to order from anywhere. It is unfortunately served with COLD marinara. Like... why?? Why am I going to dip hot cheesy garlic bread into COLD marinara?? So we just don't use it. Today, my client and I ordered online through my account. When you first sign up, you receive a free cheesy garlic bread. We like ordering online because you earn points to receive free items on their menu. We each ordered a Chicken Picatta, and one chicken parmigiano. I think every meal comes with salad and their most popular dressing is their pesto ranch. Complimentary sourdough bread comes with meals as well. It looks like they serve 1/2 a loaf per person... at least that is how it is for togo. What I don't like about ordering online is that there isn't anywhere to substitute for a different pasta. For example, the chicken parmigiano comes with spaghetti noodles, but we like angel hair noodles. There also isn't a section to order an extra side of sauce. So I did walk in and explain that I was putting an order in and needed substitutions. They were happy to substitute noods for me! The women working at the togo area are always pleasant. The bartender is fun to sit and talk with while I wait for my order. I waited almost 40 minutes today for our order, but I was enjoying my company, so I didn't mind. I may have to give the OSF another try and dine in. If I'm a fan of the Chicken Picatta and cheesy bread togo, I'm sure it'll be great dining in! read more

My family had a great visit at The Old Spaghetti Factory on Easter Sunday and it reminded me why we keep coming back. The food is always solid. It has that familiar, comforting flavor, and you know exactly what you're going to get in the best way. It was pretty busy. At one point we had questions about our bill and the OSF app , and Cass , the manager, stepped in right away. She was super attentive, handled it quickly, and made sure we were taken care of. She checked in later to make sure everything was perfect which it was. What stood out the most was how Cass treats both guests and staff with respect. As someone who worked in the industry, you can tell she actually cares, and that kind of leadership really shows in the whole vibe of the restaurant! The bartender ( our server ) Ally was so sweet and you could tell she knew the menu really well. The service felt personal and thoughtful. She answered all our questions and even offered good recommendations!! It's clear the whole staff really cares about making guests feel welcome, and it makes our experience at The Old Spaghetti Factory even better. Big thank you to The Old Spaghetti Factory for being the kind of family restaurant you can always count on. read more

This place is our usual restaurant for special events. They always accommodate 12+ people easily, if we don't give notice it's only a short wait. We love the bread here. It's so fresh, but the knives are not sharp enough to cut the bread easily. Eating outside is nice there's a pond or some body of water you can see from their patio but I'd avoid it during mosquito season. Service is quick. My kids love that they get ice cream included at the end of the meal. I'm not a fan of pistachio, I always get the vanilla. read more

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Bread & Butter - Italian Near Me - Roseville, California

I've been coming to this place for years... and I mean years. The kind of years where a restaurant becomes more than just a spot to eat--it becomes part of your story. And honestly? Not once have I had a bad experience... until now. Walked in and it was quiet--maybe 2-3 families inside--so I figured we were about to get that top-tier, dialed-in service they're known for. But this time? Service was slow... inconsistent... just off. One of those moments where you look around like, "wait... is this really happening here?" Now here's the thing--I'm not going to tear them down for one off night. Because if you've been showing up and delivering great hospitality for years, you've earned a little grace. And they absolutely have. Food still came through like an old friend who never misses. We ordered the Manager's Special and the Meat Lover's--salad, bread, and that classic spumoni ice cream to close it out. That combination? Still hits. Still comforting. Still exactly what you came for. The restaurant itself was clean, and the bathrooms? Immaculate. That consistency still stands. But what really keeps me coming back isn't just the food... It's the memories. This place takes me back to being a kid, sitting across from my parents, laughing over pasta and bread. Since they've passed, walking into this place feels like stepping into a moment I can revisit. And that... you can't put a price on. So yeah... one off night? Not even close to enough to shake my love for this place. Will I be back? Hell yes. read more

I went to Old Spaghetti Factory for my birthday and I always love visiting here. The train car in the middle is so fun but you only get to sit there if you have a party of two. I enjoy the fact that each entree comes with soup or salad and a small dis of ice cream at the end. I always order the lasagna and minestrone soup. I could make a meal out of the soup alone. read more

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Minestrone soup - Italian Near Me - Roseville, California

I liked the ambiance of this place, kind of an old school spaghetti saloon feel with a fake trolley inside. Randomly had one right by where I lived in Missouri somehow too. Great kids menu but the service was a little slow during lunch on a Friday. The brown butter with Mirthza (sp?) cheese was good but the rest was fairly forgettable. read more

It's just not good food. The restaurant was busy so clearly they are doing something right. I do appreciate that they have maintained their charm and not modernized the restaurant. read more

We called ahead to make reservations for our large party & even asked about dairy free/ gluten free options for one of the kiddos. They were very understanding. We were seated at a great big table by the window & our server was nice & friendly. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon & we were thankful it wasn't very busy or noisy. We went when they were having some anniversary special & prices on certain items were rolled back. They had a special menu for the event, but they still had their usual soup or salad w/ entree, yummy bread to start, & spumoni or vanilla ice cream for dessert. I love their garlic mizithra pasta w/ Italian sausage on the side! The next best meal at our table was the Potpourri, which is a plate of 4 different pastas & different sauces. I usually upgrade to a Caesar salad & always get the spumoni ice cream. I'm so glad I found this place - didn't think they had this in Sac... thank you, Yelp! read more

The food is always good when we come to eat, but I would like to mention how great the service was from Lamont. He provided high quality service with a smile. What a positive dining experience! I hope he is there the next time we come to dine. Thank you Lamont! read more

Hannah was so kind and inviting even during a rush! She was extremely attentive to detail and speed and made us feel so special!!! 10/10 girl read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes, beautiful building inside. Comfortable. HAVE AGAIN: Clam sauce/spaghetti was good. Salad was crisp and good with the blue cheese dressing. Warm bread was very good. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The mizithra sauce was just too salty and not all that good. PROBLEMS: Sadly, our server appeared to have too many tables and was not at all attentive. The drinks and salad came right away. But no bread. I had to ask for it. Hard to understand why the adults food would come first and the kids had to wait a few minutes for theirs. After drinking their apple juice, the kids were very thirsty. We asked three time for water for them but finally had to go to the bar to get water for them. Finally, the dessert was also very slow in coming. Not a good place for kids because of the long waits for most of the time. read more

Great service and awesome food. Love the interior and great views. Employees and friendly and courteous. Always a pleasure to eat there.

I came in this evening for a night out with my sisters. They both prefer gluten free but we have a love for pasta. It was so easy looking through the menu to find options for them. We ordered two manager's specials as hearty with the mizithra cheese and browned butter pasta and the rich meat sauce pasta. Delicious. It was waaaayyy more than enough food. The pasta classics come with a salad or soup, your entree then a scoop of ice cream (I love the spumoni). Our waiter truly made the experience. His name was Jesse. He was kind and humorous. He made sure all of our needs were met. He never let our drinks stay empty and moved with intention throughout the restaurant. It was a busy Friday night but we were taken care of. The restaurant is a little dark so it's difficult for pictures. I captured a few mid meal ad an afterthought. It's a cute and quaint spot that is verrrryyy family and large group friendly. There was something strange that I noticed. There was a pitcher of water placed near the bucket they used to clear tables. This was concerning because I did see a busser bring a rag to dip into the bucket and I thought that was verrrryyy close to the water pitcher. I did not see a server use the water pitcher near that bucket when I was there but there were water pitchers sitter out throughout the restaurant like this. read more

The Food was super good and the Ambience is always great at all locations.. but tonight's Star was the service of BRANDON. On a 10 scale he provided 11 service.. I wanna personally say thank you for the amazing quality serve you gave us for Tim's Birthday.. Much thanks.. read more

Tonight, the Spaghetti Factory was HORRIBLE! The spaghetti noodles were undercooked--swimming in water (the entire plate was watery). Ordered extra mizithra on one (no different than any one else's plate, yet paid extra). Ordered a side of broccoli, and it was cold. Even the bread (I swear), the recipe has changed--it didn't even taste like sourdough--just bready. What is going on? Been going to the Spaghetti Factory for 40+ years, but, now, I'm not so sure we will return. Was this an off-night or the new normal? Very sad and disappointing that the quality has gone down. I told server (despite my family being mortified that I did this--just had to vent). Want to let you all know and hope you will comment if you experience the same. read more

Pleasant surprise this place, been years since my last visit, still great food Prices are up but understandable. Had the traditional Spaghetti and meatballs Still a favorite, Recommend them highly read more

I always loved the spaghetti factory but the one near me closed several years ago :( we were passing the area and looking for somewhere to eat so we called ahead 30 min and were able to put our names down for a reservation. I love how the meals come with a soup/salad & dessert. I remember always liking the minestrone but after trying it again, I prefer the salad with creamy pesto dressing. I always order the mizithra and maybe I like it mostly because it's nostalgic for me but my bf got the garlic mizithra and he also liked it (he didn't grow up eating it) I'm not sure if it's new but they also offer a larger portion for ~$5 or extra sauce as well but I thought that was a nice option. We always have to end off with spumoni which is always so good and as I've gotten older, I can appreciate the flavors more. Our server was super friendly and kept checking in on us & our food came out so fast. Only complaint is that the restaurant setup is a bit odd and I don't love the dark interior with such low lighting. We didn't have a bulb over our table so it was extra dark read more

Love the atmosphere when you walk in. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was good, but nothing particularly special about it. My Breast of Chicken Fettuccine was yummy, but the broccoli tasted like it had no seasoning. The parking situation kind of sucks. Overall enjoyed our experience & would consider coming back. read more

I had an extremely frustrating experience primarily due to poor management of wait times and unprofessional behavior from the hostess staff. We initially attempted to make a reservation online but were unable to because the restaurant does not accept reservations within the hour. When we called we were told that the wait time for a party of nine would be 20-25 minutes, so we decided to come in. Upon arrival and checking in, we were again told the wait would be 20-25 minutes. That time came and went, then 35 minutes passed, with no update, apology, or acknowledgment from the hostess. After checking back in, we were told it would be another 15-20 minutes. Once again, that estimate was inaccurate. When we asked for clarification, we were informed that we had been "assigned" to a table that still had a full party seated and that they could not seat us elsewhere--even if another table became available--because we were tied to that one table. We were also told they could not move the current party until their two-hour time limit was up. Throughout this entire process, the hostess was dismissive, inaccurate, unapologetic, and openly rude. Every question we asked was met with glares, short responses, and a clear lack of professionalism. Despite repeatedly walking past us in the lobby, she never once provided an update or checked in on our wait. Eventually, another staff member was sent to check on the table. The party left shortly after, but that did not resolve the issue. We then waited an additional 10-15 minutes while the table was being cleaned. The cleaning process was incredibly slow, to the point where we had to ask multiple times for an update. Ultimately, a manager had to step in because of how long it was taking. From the moment the previous party left, it took 25 minutes just to prepare the table. In total, we waited over an hour and 25 minutes after being told our wait would only be 20-25 minutes. During this time, multiple parties were seated, ate, and left before we were even seated. Once we finally sat down, our waitress was great and very helpful--but that does not make up for the extremely poor front-of-house management and lack of basic communication. Accurate wait times, professionalism, and simple courtesy should be the bare minimum. This experience showed a clear lack of organization, accountability, and respect for guests' time. I would not recommend this location for large parties, or anyone who expects honest communication and basic customer service. read more

I ordered a Togo for my son and my daughter and I ordered a fettuccini Alfredo (my daughter wanted to eat her on a plate) I ordered mine in a Togo container but I wanted to eat with my daughter but I know I was going to pick on mine. When we got our food I got half of what my daughter had and compared it to my sons Togo (his To go container was much bigger) note next time just order on a plate and ask for to go box. I felt like I paid for adult meal and got a child portion. read more

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Size difference - Italian Near Me - Roseville, California

We visited The Old Spaghetti Factory in Roseville to celebrate our daughter's 15th birthday, a place she personally chose because we've had decent experiences here in the past. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing and turned a special evening into a frustrating one. We spent $119.30, but the level of service did not come close to matching that. After our food was delivered, our server, Anna, never returned to check on us. We were not offered water, drink refills, or even asked how our meals were. My daughter ordered a drink and was never checked on for a refill. When my two-year-old son needed water after eating, I asked our server for water, but she never came back. We eventually had to ask another server just to get water. What made this especially frustrating was watching our server walk by our table multiple times while actively serving surrounding tables. At one point, she even took time to show something on her phone to guests at another table, while we couldn't get basic necessities like water or straws. My wife later spoke with the manager on duty, Jason, hoping the situation would be handled with some care. Unfortunately, his response lacked empathy and concern. There was no apology or attempt to make the situation right, which only added to the disappointment. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration, and instead it left us frustrated and let down. Given that this was not our first time dining here, the experience was even more surprising. We hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves both service standards and how guest concerns are handled. read more

Been going to Old Spaghetti Factory for years, came back up to visit for my sons 10th birthday and thought it would be a great idea to take him here, being he's a huge chicken Alfredo fan.

My family came here on 4/17/26. We had a great time. The service was quick and the food came out even faster. We were helped by a young woman whose name escapes me now. My father is older and they were accommodating to seating downstairs even though there is an elevator. We came on a Friday night before any rush but we also had no reservations and did not wait at all. The meatballs had great flavor and the butter mushroom dish looked excellent. Thank you for making a great night for my family. read more

I've been going to this location for nearly 30 years. My family went last Saturday for my mother's birthday (it's one of her favorite spots, probably mostly for sentimental reasons). Anyways, the service was great, but the food was terrible. I always order the chicken parmigiana. The plate came out and the chicken was half the size of what it normally is (actually made us all laugh it was just so sad looking) and the amount of spaghetti was doubled. Then, I bit into the chicken breast and it was full of gristle. Everyone else's food was mixed between bad and just okay. This was our worst experience at the OSF (food-wise) to date. The prices have also gone up, but the quality of the food... not so much. I get the feeling they're trying to cut costs. Even their ice cream scoops were half the size of a normal scoop. I'll gladly pay more if the food is still good, so hopefully they course-correct or we won't be coming back. read more

I do not understand the hype here, aside from the high rated goat cheese sauce I'd rather go to Olive Garden for a fettuccine Alfredo. Nothing here amplified my experience. What a let down. As an Italiano-- imagine wanting olive garden after this. Forget about it read more

Took a friend for lunch and she had a spaghetti dish and I had a chicken Caesar salad. I am allergic to tomato and was hoping to get a plan noodle lunch with oil and good parmesan, or a noodle fra diavalo but they were not on the menu. The salad was just OK, the lettuce not very fresh and the chicken neither hot nor cold. Nothing else on the plate. I ordered a spaghetti with meat sauce for another friend at home. He said the sauce was pretty thin and not enough of it. The lettuce salad was old and spoiled beyond eating. The young woman who served us was sweet and attentive and the atmosphere was, as always, charming. I won't go there again. read more

If you're looking for some good authentic Italian food, The Old Spaghetti Factory is not the place. BUT if you are looking for a decent meal and some fun history, then it definitely is. We made a reservation to sit in the trolley since my daughter had never been before. She loved it! I would highly recommend sitting in the trolley as it makes for a fun experience. Food is sub-par most of the time, but it hits the spot when you're craving some pasta. It's definitely not my go-to, but if you set your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed. We ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and my daughter ordered the ravioli. Service was friendly and attentive! I'm a big fan of their Spumoni ice cream! read more

I wanted to add on to my order and he was pleasant, respectful and knowledgeable. What an exceptional young man. read more
