The Old Spaghetti Factory

Wow. I'm at a loss for words. Simply exquisite establishment. The food was... indescribable. The staff was... Stupendous and exuberant!!

There was a lot of bald men working there... weird but funny and cool. One appeared to be a manager. He was so helpful.... staff was calling him Super Man. Not sure what that was about.

Held my daughter’s rehearsal dinner here on Friday (6/6/25). Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Food. Service. Ambience. Thank you, TOSF.

Nice old two story restaurant.

Event planner was excellent--kind and patient. Only spoiler was female server with long black hair, SHOVED my dish of food across the table. No attempt at courtesy. Brought the rating down for the whole team.

We had an amazing dining experience at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Newport, CA. The restaurant is absolutely stunning with a beautiful ambiance, and the food was excellent. Our server, Fermin, was outstanding and went above and beyond to help us choose our meals. He even brought us a sample of the cheese so we could decide on our favorite!

I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and opted for mushroom sauce instead of marinara, which Fermand kindly recommended since I love mushrooms. My spouse had the Spinach and Cheese Ravioli, and added chicken—everything was cooked to perfection. The fresh, warm bread was delicious, and the fact that every meal includes a starter, dessert, and your choice of soup or salad makes it an incredible value for such a classy restaurant. The portions are just right, especially with the extras included.

The only minor downside was the $5 charge for parking, considering there’s ample space, but it’s not a big deal. Overall, everything was fantastic. Also, learning that this restaurant was originally a spaghetti factory dating back to 1969 adds a unique charm to the whole experience.

Highly recommend!
Again special thanks to FERMIN!!

Visited in June 2024. Meals came with soup/salad and ice cream dessert. After the meal, I was told that the restaurant had ran out of ice cream and there would be no substitution. I was charged the entire cost of the meal, even though a major component of the meal was missing. Server made no attempt to apologize or make amends. Seems like a case of deception when the restaurant already knows that they are running out of ice cream but did not tell customers until the meal was over. This will be my first and last visit to this restaurant.
