Had our Friendsgiving on a Saturday night and as expected it was very busy, but they accommodated us; we were a large group of 15. Food was great. Customer service was very friendly. The only thing was that we had to rearranga the tables so we can all sit together (they had to separate tables). But definitely recommend coming back here.

We came to celebrate our sons 10th birthday. After sitting at our table for almost 45 mins, we were birthday able to order drinks and food. When we first got seated a table next to us were also celebrating a birthday and the servers came out and and for them. Our server skipped over our subs birthday and just brought our bill. I even asked for the ice cream that came with the meal, to go because we were so disappointed that our sun wasn't celebrated,even though we lasted...

I've never met anyone who didn't love going to The Old Spaghetti Factory. With so many combinations of pasta dishes, there is something for everyone. Where else can you get their signature pasta dish -- spaghetti with mizithra cheese? If you haven't been there, go -- and you'll return and return. Just be sure to make a reservation because this restaurant gets filled up fast.
