Dined in for dinner on June 26 as it was close to our hotel.
It was my first time to an Old Spaghetti Factory, but my friend has been a couple times and said it's always a great value. Most of their meals are in the $15-20 range and include sourdough bread, minestrone soup OR salad, entree, and ice cream. Not bad.
We dined in on a Friday night and the whole restaurant was pretty full (well "full" given that they blocked off every other table for social distancing purposes). We had to wait maybe 10 minutes for a table since we walked in and didn't have a reservation.
I didn't realize but they have an extensive cocktail menu here, all for pretty affordable prices. Just don't expect to have much alcohol in your drink. I thought of my bellini as juice (it was super tasty) and that was about right. Same for my friend's long island.
I appreciated their flexibility with the food orders. I wanted the seafood linguine marinara ($17.25), but with the meat sauce instead, and they were able to accommodate that. My friend ordered the spaghetti with Beyond Meat meatballs, but unfortunately they had just run out of the meatballs. They accommodated his request to make a custom pesto linguine ($14.95) with vegetables instead, which I thought was nice.
The minestrone soup was pretty good. My seafood linguine was solid as well. Nothing extraordinary, but it was exactly what I expected. I feel like you can't go wrong with a spaghetti dish here. For ice cream, you can either choose a scoop of vanilla or chocolate / vanilla / pistachio ice cream swirl. I recommend the vanilla since the pistachio wasn't that good.
All in all, not bad for a sub $20 meal! read more
