The location has changed since I last visited The Old Spaghetti Factory 48 years ago. However, this new location (to me) is even better and provides more parking than before. Once we entered, I felt as if I was still in the old location. The food, service, drinks, and staff were all top notch. Will definitely return again on my next trip to Fresno.

I wanted to pick up my birthday meal but for some reason the app says it's dine-in only now, but I didn't realize it until I got to the restaurant and didn't want to eat alone. So Gabby and Sophia reassured me that I can indeed place an order to go with my birthday offer. Thank you Gabby and Sophia for sparing me from looking like a homeless person eating alone and allowing me to take my bday meal to go.

We had been to the Old Spaghetti Factory in SLC and this was much the same. The service was very fast and friendly and the food was delicious but not mind altering. This is a great place for families (depending on how spendy you want to be) the place has a lot of historical character which sets it apart. The bathrooms were clean. It was easy to have a conversation which makes it good for dates. Parking was easy and close
