Found a quick bite during the US game on Friday, but service was a bit slow as maybe they didn't track who was there but it took 10 minutes for them to serve me. Food came out decently quick, unlimited bred. Fettuccini is pretty good. But pricy.

Side Salad & Dressing (bleu cheese dressing)
Christina S.

Haven't been here in years! To my surprise it wasn't at crowded as I thought it would be especially during graduation time. You can never go wrong with their fresh bread rolls, salads with blue cheese dressing, and pasta with two sauces. Spumoni is always the best part of dessert here. Even though we were seated right away, service could have been better. They didn't come back to refill our drinks or give us napkins. Food was yummy though.

This was my first time at the old spaghetti factory. My three daughters loved the interior because it reminded them of being in a castle. They kept saying how fancy the place was. We sat inside the trolley, which I probably wouldn't do again but it was a great experience for the kids. The food was really good but the service was a tad slow. It was most likely because of the Super Bowl crowd. But I wouldn't mind going back. My chicken Parmesan was so good. I was expecting a fried cutlet but it was grilled chicken and it was still so good. The kids meal was a great deal as well - entree, side, drink, and dessert for an affordable price. I'll definitely be back.

Spinach Artichoke Dip(7/10): I wish there were more vegetables in them, but it was still delicious nonetheless! Spinach and Cheese Ravioli(5/10): Originally I wanted the mushroom ravioli, but they ran out at the time so I ordered these instead. This was my fault, but I thought it came with a creamy sauce. It came with red sauce so I asked them if it can be remade. They were very accommodating and switched it out to the creamy one. I prefer the creamy sauce over the tomato one. I do think the ravioli does lack salt and there wasn't much filling. Italian Cream Soda(9/10): I like the glass cup it came in! I do think it's worth the price. It was very creamy and very sweet! Cotton Candy Limeade(7/10): I liked the cotton candy placed on top, but other than that, it was very sweet. I feel like that is to be expected. I didn't really taste the lime, just mainly sparkling water. Spumoni(9/10): I really enjoyed the ice cream! My favorite is the cherry compared to the pistachio and vanilla. I will say it was icy so that's why I had to dock off a point, but other than that, I enjoyed the dessert! Service(10/10): Although the food items were ok, the service was top notch! Our server was very accommodating and very friendly. Even though it was a busy night, they went above and beyond to make sure our experience was going great! I wish I had remembered theirs' and a few other servers' names that had helped our night be a great one! Overall, I enjoyed my experience there and will come again because of their top notch service!

OSF is an absolute institution, perfect for a cozy dinner during the holiday season, and a must-try in the downtown SJ area!! The moment you step in, it feels like you're entering a bustling dining room inside a medieval castle or manor. The seating areas are cutely decorated and warmly lit, not to mention the adorable exterior leading to the restaurant. On to the food!~ Stand-out dishes: Rich Meat Sauce (9.5/10): I got the rich meat sauce and ended up clearing my plate. The sauce was perfectly seasoned and the pasta was bouncy. Spinach artichoke dip (10/10): Other stand-outs for our table were the Spinach artichoke dip--soo buttery and generously topped with parmesean! Brown butter pasta + lasagna (10/10): The brown butter pasta had an addicting toffee-like taste & their lasagna was also spot-on! I also recommend their Watermelon cocktail, sweet & not too strong! We all loved the creamy and decadent vanilla ice cream at the end!! The service was alright and it's important that you double check the receipt before paying. Parking can be found in a garage next door (I think we paid $10) and you can walk through the back entrance/OSF parking lot into their cute alley to get to the door.

The Minestrone is as surprisingly good!  A little salty but very good!  I was surprised..

The Spumoni! That is why I come here! It comes with your mean unless you order fancy, and it is my true love...

The Old Spaghetti Factory, located in San Pedro Square, is a charming Italian restaurant. This place has been around for as long as I can remember. When you first enter, there are massive large sitting chairs spread around. There is also a sitting area on the top floor. You are greeting by warm friendly faces,who are ready to seat you. A historic trolley is in the dining room and we have been able to be seated in the trolley after asking. The waiters and waitresses are just as friendly and accommodating as the hosts. I love the antique vibe of this place! The food is always delicious! I always ask for a hearty portion when I order lunch here because I will have dinner too!! You meal comes with a soup or salad and you get a scoop of spumoni ice cream too!! If you haven't been, try it the next time you go to San Pedro Square in downtown San Jose!!

Parking was easy at the near by parking garage. They offer 90min free and it's $1 for every 15min after. It's pretty easy to get a table as it's pretty big and they can easily accommodate large groups Their menu is pretty small. I ordered the chicken Alfredo with broccoli. All their dishes come with bread, soup or salad, and ice cream for dessert. The noodle and chicken were on the dry side. All the food also came out pretty slow but the server was super nice.

Old spaghetti factory in downtown San Jose is a staple. If you have not experienced an old spaghetti factory, I would recommend that you visit this one. It's everything that an Old spaghetti factory should be. We ordered lasagna, Chicken parmigiana, and wild mushroom ravioli. Ravioli. The deal at Old spaghetti factory is that meals are served "complete ". This means they come with either a soup or salad, bread, and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. This is a nice touch, and it allows for your meal to feel special. Our food was nothing to write home about, but it was tasty, and there were large portions of each item delivered to the table. We had good service, and the bread was warm. Whenever we're looking for something kind of retro, we head to Old spaghetti factory. You owe it to yourself to try this place at least once.

The ambiance is always a vibe. The food is very good. Fresh and authentic flavors come though each dish. The service is always top notch.

Our Famous Baked Lasagna

Came here for lunch because it's the best time for parking and the place was pretty quiet. We got sat upstairs by ourselves, which worked since my sisters kids were with us. The vibe was very calm and a bit dark for my liking. Gave more of a date night lighting rather than a family lunch. The food was good. But I will say I've had better lasagna. The flavors were there but the pasta sheets were a bit over cooked and a little tough to chew. But I loved their bread as usual. And the spimoni (not sure if spelled correctly) ice cream was a great ending and tasty at that.

Dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory in the San Pedro Market area is always a pleasant experience. On this visit, my friends and I not only enjoyed our meal, service, and environment, but the monthly Mystery Dinner Theatre makes it extra special. as the performance plays out, our meal of break, salad, entree (spaghetti with mushroom sauce for me) are so enjoyable. We ate on the second floor is the private dining area. The seating on that floor waiting area and the decor in general is almost vintage and teleports you to a simple and refined time. A lot of fun. Well place in the Market with easy access from the parking garage across the closed street. So much to explore in the area, this is a great way to cap the day.

They said they were able to deliver on a certain amount of orders. I saw here and was quick to response. I had a family dinner of 20 ppl and gave Co Hoang a try. We did everything through text. The day of which is Saturday, 12/20/25, I was to pick up the food at 5pm. You have to text the 15 minutes before meeting them up at a parking lot. Texted and met up with them, food was still piping hot. The whole process was very smooth. What I ordered: * Small Soúp Măng Cua/Bong Bóng Cá Asparagus Crab Meat soup - $120 * Small Gỏi Sứa Tôm Thịt Ngó Sen- $50 * Small Mì Xào / Chow Mein - $50 * Chả Giò / Egg Rolls- $1.50 each * Small Bò Mông Cổ / Mongolian Beef- $60 for 3 lbs of meat * Small Cơm Chiên Cá Măn / Salted Fish Fried Rice - $55 REVIEW FOOD- Overall the food was delicious and not overly salty, so it's great for the older people's taste. Family approved and said it was good. *Soup had so much crabs, asparagus that they definitely didn't gypped you- was good *chow mein had shrimp, scallops and vegetables was good *Mongolian beef- soft and flavorful *salted fish fried rice- good but wish it be a little more flavor *VN salad- this was good! Love that it had celery, cucumbers, strips of mangoes. *egg rolls- meat fillings was good and still crunchy by layer in evening I would definitely order through them for my son's wedding next year or any other party events that I would have.

Since my husband and I…read morecook a lot and truly value good food, catering was our top priority and Michi's did not disappoint! We had two tastings, one upon signing the contract and a final one closer to the date where we were able to bring along family and a close friend. They served us full plates of every dish so we even left with plenty of leftovers, which was such a fun bonus for us! Throughout the planning process, they were very easy to communicate with and were highly responsive via email. It was super convenient having them coordinate the table design at their warehouse, including the linens, plateware, and glassware. While the design meeting isn't a "boutique" curated experience, their warehouse has plenty of options to choose from if you already have a general color palette and vibe in mind. On the wedding day, the staff was extremely attentive and brought us hand rolls before cocktail hour even started to ensure we actually got to eat. The live hand roll station was a massive hit with our guests and absolutely delicious. I also appreciated how open they were to our custom cocktails; I provided my own recipe and li hing powder for a pineapple li hing margarita, which they executed perfectly. Cost-wise, this is not a budget vendor and is on the more expensive side. However, the full-service, high-touch planning and day-of experience, from the tastings to the seamless coordination of all design elements, completely justified the price. You truly get what you pay for, and we have no regrets. If food is a top priority for your wedding, we highly recommend Michi's. Their expertise made our day so special, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

We knew early on that we wanted to make sure we chose a great caterer for our wedding. One of the first visits we made was to Michi for a tasting and we were absolutely blown away. Not only was the food unbelievably good, Michi and his family are incredibly nice and easy to work with. We knew immediately this was the caterer to work with. And they absolutely delivered. The food was so good it got almost as many compliments as the bride. Maybe more. Our favorite dish was the miso butter & homemade sourdough bread. We took a bunch of extras home after our tasting and then again after our wedding. It was easily our favorite and Michi went out of their way to make sure some was packed for us after the wedding. I could not recommend Michi more to anyone looking for a caterer. They're charismatic and great chefs, what more could you ask for? 6/5. If I could. 10/5 even.

Went to their website to order catered buffet lunch for a board retreat happening the next day in Los Altos. As before site easy to navigate with a variety of options to tailor. The first clue that there might be issues was I wasn't able to see or select my ideal delivery time for later in the day. I thought they were already booked for the time. Then when I confirmed & paid for my order, the interface provided a message at bottom of my receipt that catering orders must be made 48 hours in advance. I did it the night before our retreat. (Made note to self to order 48 hours in advance in future) I was disappointed that the website did not clearly note must be made 48 hours in advance or message before I paid that I was ordering less than 48 hours. After making a decent size order for 9, I went in mode hoping to salvage this order. I sent email to restaurant and left a voicemail that night with intention to call in morning to ensure they can fulfill order or provide a refund if they cannot. I called in morning to leave another message in hopes they check messages before their Saturday opening time of 11am which would not allow enough time to cook & deliver. So while setting up for our retreat and searching for a plan B for lunch the hour before retreat starts at 9:30am, I discovered several missed calls. To my delight it was Lorena confirming that they can complete the order, to call back & that would need to pay $20 to deliverer (lunch delivery is complimentary during weekdays near to their restaurant). She left voicemail and text. When I called back, I thank her and Athena grill for coming through. Fast forward, food delivered in mobile hot boxes as expected on time by a couple, quietly arranged in the back of room, generous serving for 9, and very hot for traveling from Santa Clara to Los Altos. I confirmed with Lorena via text and expressed my gratitude who again was responsive. The food was enjoyed by all. We had salad (crisp w/dressing on side), grilled veggies (chunky cut that were firm not mushy), spanakopita (crisp phylo w/good size filling), vegetarian moussaka (would not miss the meat), rice (loose and more than enough for 9 of us), grilled skewered chicken (always moist), grilled salmon (first time and was good portion), and baklava (tasted home made). One of my colleagues asked if food was Halal, which I think they confirmed. Unsure if correct, so suggest contact restaurant directly. Brought leftovers for Hubby & Dad to enjoy. Made plans to eat at their restaurant so can enjoy other yummy dishes like their lamb. Thank you Lorena & Athena Grill Catering.
