The Old Spaghetti Factory

4.3

About this business

The whole family will have fun feasting at this somewhat "old-fashioned" feeling pasta place. It's a convenient spot to stop, to or from a downtown event, and is far enough out of the hustle-and-bustle not to worry about parking and long waits for your meal. You'll know you're here the minute you spot the candy apple-red trim on the warehouse-sized building. Charming interior is decorated with antiques and collectibles. Spaghetti's the star here, but other pasta dishes are also available.

I had heard great things about this restaurant and decided to try. I don't even know where to began. I was so hoping for something good to like here, but from the water to the soda to the soup to meal OMG! I'm not going to say it was the worst I've had, but hoped for something much better, even the bread was heavy and un -risen. Small food portions. Don't think I'll try again. Loved the 1920s building.

good food. bad service – never go with more than maybe 6 people. ive been there twice. once with a party of 13 and another with a party of 17. the waiter completely messed up the orders and ended up charging a couple for a dinner that someone else ate cause her's never came out. but then after we made a huge fuss over it and he went to get the manager, he took it off the bill. why he didnt do that in the first place, i dont know. it seriously takes them FOREVER to come back to your table. after drinks it takes about 20 mins ... read more

Kitschy Italian restaurant churns out heaping plates of pasta that won't break the bank. – In Short Whimsical antiques and decorative items--velvet armchairs, vintage-looking fringed lamps and booths made from iron bedsteads--fill the dining room. The OSF Classics menu offers spaghetti with a choice of mushroom sauce, rich meat sauce, browned butter and feta-like mizithra cheese sauce, and more. Other popular favorites are the baked lasagna--layers of noodles, tomato sauce and four kinds of cheese--and the fettuccine Alfredo... read more

Awful customer service, so-so food – My hubby and I were very excited to go to Old Spaghetti Factory after hearing from so many people that it was great. We were greatly disappointed. The service.... When we were seated, there was no silverware on our table. Our server brought us our salads and left. How does a server bring salads, put them on a table the size of my lap, and not notice we have no silverware?! My hubby and I sat there waiting for our server to come back to check on us, but he never did until he brought out ou... read more

Great atmosphere...TERRIBLE food – I have been to MANY italian restaurants in the PHX, Chandler, Mesa area and I was terribly disappointed in the food. The staff was wonderful, the trolly car was an awesome touch, the whole "look" was great. Just don't go for the food! We ordered 4 different dished and neither were and good. I had many positive reviews from friends, but being a huge pasta fan, this is NOT the place to go!!

Wonderful after graduation! – After graduating from the University of Phoenix Online, my father and I wanted Italian. On our way back to our hotel, we happened upon this place and what a jackpot! The food was delicious! The atmosphere is awesome and unique and the service was great! There was so much food that I was thankful we had a refrigerator and microwave in our hotel room. I just wish you had a location in Chicago!

User below is wrong – There was never an Old Spagetti Factory in Chander... she was reviewing Mike Pulos Spagetti Factory which is rightfully now out of business (it stank). The Old Spagetti Factory, however, is great. You get huge portions, and salad, dessert, and coffee or tea is included in the price. There is always a long wait, however, there is a movie room and lots of games to keep the kids entertained. This is a favorite spot for our family.
