    Complimentary bread and butter
    Lisa O.

    This location is really unique. The entrance and dining area are filled with velvet covered furniture and dark woods. The menu is full of delicious choices and most dinners include salad and a scoop of ice cream. The house pesto dressing is so delicious. The mizithra pasta and broccoli is my favorite and I highly recommend it. We love the garlic cheesy bread appetizer as well. Service was fast and friendly and prices are good for what you get. I do believe you have to pay for parking if you use the lot next door, but there are free spots around as well.

    The food was pretty good went here for a field trip during school for phantom of the opera my friend had Spaghetti and I had Alfredo the service was ok the ambience was the main thing tho very gorgeous I loved the architecture!

    Over the years we have stopped here many times. We've always been pleased with the experience. This time we decided to come by a bit earlier in the evening. The place was empty and we were seated promptly. Our server was warm and welcoming, and very energetic. We did notice right away that the prices have increased a bit, but unfortunately that isn't overly surprising. The bread and salad were served quickly. Entrees came out promptly and were fresh. We finished the meal with the signature spumoni ice cream. All in all it was another pleasant trip. The ambiance really can't be beat to bring you back to childhood nostalgia.

    The food took a while to come out, so we entertained ourselves best we could. lol

    Overall Meh... service was great, ambience was unique, but the spaghetti took a while to come out... also, we didn't taste the $20 ingredients we paid for if I'm being honest. We ordered the special brown butter spaghetti and it just didn't have the execution I've seen with this dish. Kids meals was neat with the cotton candy toppers worked. Bottle of wine was $40 for a 2024 Pinot. Again, wasn't horrible but for $100+ tab, you expect higher quality.

    Made a reservation here on a Road Trip to Kansas. I knew it was a tourist thing with ify reviews. Such a cool place! Loved everything about the vibe. The service. Wow, the service. Everyone working there seemed like they wanted to die The hostess was THE WORST! No smiling barely a hello. And when we left she just stared at us. The waitress was better in spirits. The bus boys were on the phone. It was comical how miserable everyone looked. The food was good to mediocre. Over all ok food, decent price. Fun experience.

    We love the The Old Spaghetti Factory restuarants so whenever we are near one of course we are going to stop in. This particular one we have been to before in Saint Louis. Can't go wrong with anything here you order. This particular visit we didn't have reservations but got seated after about 10 minutes. Our server, Dmoriya, was extremely attentive and friendly. We were impressed how the very young staff helped out each other and worked together. Our food came our hot and we never had to ask for more bread or refills on our drinks. Overall, we had one of the best experiences we have ever at this location and we also like its unique decor.

    Failed to provide my full order, failed to provide a refund, and failed to make good spaghetti! While traveling for work, on 26 August I ordered delivery using DoorDash. My hotel (Hilton) was just under 1 mile from the restaurant so maybe this is my fault for not just walking. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and tiramisu for dessert. They were packaged in 2 paper bags for delivery. The dasher only picked up the bag with the spaghetti, leaving behind my $9 tiramisu. Here's where my main complaint begins- I called the restaurant and they confirmed that the tiramisu was indeed still sitting on the counter waiting to be picked up, but refused to deliver it or to refund my money. They said I had to call DoorDash for support, so I did. DoorDash says that only the restaurant can fix the problem or provide a refund and they offered to call the restaurant on my behalf. So DoorDash negotiates a refund for the tiramisu, restaurant agrees, and as of 28 September (1 month later) I have not yet received the refund. Also, for a restaurant called the Old Spaghetti Factory, I really expected the spaghetti to be made faster and to taste better. It took an hour to get food from 1 mile away, and the noodles were overcooked and the sauce was not flavorful. It tasted like the used too much tomato paste and not enough of basically everything else.

    I haven't been to The Old Spaghetti Factory since I was little, so I decided to try them again for Valentine's Day this year. The interior was absolutely beautiful and provided a cozy, romantic ambiance. The service and food was great. We were able to find a good god parking spot that day surprisingly. I'm excited to go back!

    Very important, join waitlist instead of walk in to wait. Visited on Friday evening on president day weekend, we waited for 3 hours to get seated!!! We were asked to wait at their bar area, finished our drinks for two rounds and yet no sign of getting the seat. Spaghetti, meatballs, mizithra cheese with browned butter, and the spumoni ice cream. All were mediocre not worth the wait.

    Drink menu

    This is my first dining experience here. Upon entering I felt less than welcomed. We told them we were meeting up with our party and the four workers standing behind the host stand just stared at us and looked at each other. The group ordered garlic cheese bread as an appetizer, it was tasty with a good helping of sauce. Upon sitting with our group, the waitress asked if we would like a drink. I ordered an espresso martini as I have been trying espresso martinis from many different restaurants as a personal mission to find the best one. This was the worst one thus far. The menu stated Kahlua was in the drink, however, the drink came pitch black. It tasted like vodka, espresso and the "dash" of simple syrup was too much syrup. It was not good. I asked the waitress for it to be remade with kahlua and she stepped around the corner with the glass. She came back, said they "miraculously" had one made up and I'm pretty sure she gave me the same drink back and asked if it was better, still with no Kahlua. She said that was only in the latte-tini. See menu photo for actual drink listing. The spaghetti was good, I ordered the Pot Pourri. It was a sample of three of the sauces on a plate of spaghetti. You receive spumoni ice cream with the meal, although, there is no longer a choice of flavor. There used to be a vanilla and chocolate alternative. The ambiance was difficult to describe, I guess this is a chain but we sat right in front of the kitchen hallway. At one point we had to ask the waitress to refill water and when the boxes came out, they were small Chinese takeout boxes. I had to wait for her to return to ask for an additional togo box. I would suggest trying this place at least once, the food is good.

My wife is using a walker due to upcoming hip replacement surgery and the hostess suggested we use the outside patio gate instead of trying to pass through the restaurant. We sat in the patio and water and fresh hot 2 kinds of bread were placed on the table. Our server, Connor, is so knowledgeable and pleasant. He was patient with us and his wine suggestion was spot on. Great sense of humor and he worked all the patio tables. The food choices were amazing and exceeded expectations. Pricing was comparable with what we expected. The lobster bisque was thick, hot and very filling. There was ample pieces of lobster as well. My wife shared that her pasta was not hard or dry or rubbery but tasted freshly made. Connor shared that the prep starts every morning with homemade pasta. The traditional toasted ravioli were just that, toasted and tasty and the CG shrimp seemed so much more than an appetizer. Meals could be had with just those. I was very satisfied it ordered lasagna anyway. I just had them pack it to go as I was comfortably full. I know there are a lot of choices on the Hill but I assure you this one stands out.

The crust had an amazing char and the sauce was deliciously nuanced. The cheese was very good, but most definitely not the star of the pie. Pasta Pomodoro was wonderful. House made pasta was excellent and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. (Anthonino's really does sauces well!) I finished with tiramisu and I am so glad I did! Did I need it? No. Did I want it?

We ordered the caramelized cauliflower appetizer which was drowning in cream sauce and so smothered in cheese that it no longer looked like a vegetable. It was too rich for us. They were considerate to give us plates to split the scampi style shrimp, which was well cooked. However, the grilled beef tenderloin and potatoes were very lackluster. We'd asked for medium rare and the kitchen must have been rushing as it was still raw in the middle. We tried to get the server's attention, but they were very busy and we gave up. A particularly strange and rude interaction from our server when collecting the check left a bad taste in our mouths. I was glad to see their popularity but disappointed at how it decreased the quality of our experience. Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant time overall. If you are planning to go, I recommend choosing a less busy time for a better experience.

It does not get the attention, nor press it deserves. The place is jumping with good people and good vibes. I got their New Years special which was prix fixe with prime rib as the main event. Everything was superb. The cassoulet had a beautiful spice with a velvety texture. The crab tom yum risotto was so decadent. Silky smooth from the coconut with a beautiful herby finish from the mint chili oil to complement the crab. I never thought I'd say this, but the brussel sprouts stole the show! Cooked in some bacon fat they were crunchy, salty, and perfect. Oh, and the prime rib was everything a kid could ever dream of. Fatty and the cacao rub was amazing. The horseradish was spectacular. The whipped potatoes were light and airy. Think of mashed potatoes in whipped cream form. A texture and flavor combination I will now dream of because I imagine I will never get to experience something so lovely again. As for cocktails, i kept it simple with a martini... I mean, it is a gin bar, how could I not? The service was great. I was dining solo and the servers and bar tender kept me updated, well taken care, and treated with intense hospitality.

I did have one issue: I ordered a Barr Hill Vodka Martini at a premium price, and it had a strong taste of Juniper. I alerted the staff and they were very apologetic and understanding, unfortunately the manager assured me it was Vodka and didn't acknowledge the possibility it tasted like gin. I'm guessing bartender failed to rinse the shaker properly after the previous gin shake, resulting in a vodka drink with a strong gin flavor. The staff kindly replaced the drink with a lower quality vodka that helped satisfy me. The situation was resolved, but I walked away feeling misunderstood and dismissed by the owner. I will be back and I do recommend this restaurant. :)

We ordered a bottle of Amarone and enjoyed it with the whole meal. For starters, we ordered the polenta with Italian sausage between the two of us. We could only exclaim about how creamy the polenta was. It was extremely hearty, with some vegetables and thinly sliced Italian sausage. I'm glad that the Italian sausage was thinly sliced because otherwise it would have been overpowering for my palette. The next dish that my daughter had was technically a Caprese salad, which was tomato and mozzarella. She didn't like the red onion, but had asked for balsamic vinegar on the side, which she added to the salad, and when I tried the balsamic vinegar, even I realized that it is one of the best that I have ever had. My daughter went with the gnocchi, and said that it was among the best that she had ever had. We shared a veal and mushroom risotto between the two of us, and it was perfectly moist, the veal was not overpowering, and it was perfectly cooked. The veal just simply melted in the mouth.

I enjoyed the marrow very much, but I almost wished that the dish came with polenta, not risotto. However, it was still magnificent.

    I was in St Louis for work, and I wanted a real, local joint and not a chain…read more WOW, did I choose well. First of all, I knew I was doing well because of the traffic coming in and out while I waited (ever so briefly) for a table. I wanted that delicious St. Louis style pizza, and Liliana's delivered on my expectations. The cheese was perfect, the toppings exactly as I would hope, and it did not hurt that I had some leftovers. I also ordered a Caesar salad and a House red. So many places under-deliver on Caesar salads these days that I tend to be cautious when ordering. This one was delicious. It hit all the high notes. As for the ambiance, the dining room could've walked right out of the 70s, plopped itself down in 2026, and manage not to look out of place. Service was spot-on, the food did not take too long, and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening. Next trip tom St. Louis, I'm stopping here again!

    Went for lunch with my sister and brother in law and left stuffed with a big ol to go bag too!…read more I had the lasagna, my sister had the baked rigatoni with the world's largest meatballs, brother in law had the Tony sandwich and we all loved our meals. The location was chosen because it was a good midpoint for us, a friend in the neighborhood recommended it. Really appreciate it as it is a fairly nondescript outside and in a shopping center. Inside it was pretty dark despite it being a sunny day.... There is a total vibe Service was good and efficient.

    I can't believe I never reviewed this place! I loved Zia's 10 years ago and I love it still! I just…read morewent on 07/03 and had Katie the best server at the restaurant! You need to book a reservation for Friday and Saturday nights. We had ours for 7 pm and were seated promptly. Food we got Toasted Ravs's these are a STL staple and a must get. The sauce is on the sweeter side so be prepared. I got the Lasagna which came with a salad. The dressing is also on the sweeter side. I love that so it's a great salad and it's topped with provel cheese. The lasagna has provel, beef, sausage and ricotta. It's light on the ricotta which I love. They use the same sweet sauce for the toasted rav's. It's a huge portion! My friend got a chicken dish which came with bacon, broccoli, peppers, and had toasted bread crumbs. He loved it, however he said it did not have much chicken. We were so full we skipped dessert. Great meal. For two people it was about $100 so pretty reasonable. We also got alcohol so it would have been cheaper without wine and a mixed drink. Best Italian on the Hill in my opinion!

    Tonight we went to Zia's with family for a back-to-school dinner, and unfortunately, it was a bad…read moreexperience. The food was average at best. The toasted ravioli were small and tasted like they might have come straight from the freezer. The salad was probably the best part--they are known for their sweet Italian dressing. My chicken spiedini was nothing special, with flavorless prosciutto and a piece of cartilage in one bite. My wife's entrée was swimming in a bowl of sauce. Even the bread in the basket was smashed. The drinks were just OK, not fully mixed. The ambiance wasn't much better. It was noisy, with a constant parade of traffic passing right by our table. Our server was just OK. The oddest part of the evening was the table busser, who would literally throw plates and silverware into his tub. Every few minutes, he'd clear another table, crashing everything around. When he reset the table next to us, he actually threw the plates onto the table like he was trying to break them. It was so absurd that we laughed out loud. Seriously, you can get better food and service for half the price at Pasta House.
