I had a lovely experience at this Italian restaurant. The menu comes with a delicious soup or salad and a dessert, and the ice cream is particularly great! The food is good, and the atmosphere is very family-friendly with a small playroom for kids, complete with coloring sheets and crayons. The architecture and décor are absolutely stunning. Highly recommend for a cozy and enjoyable meal!”

My mother and I attended a seminar at The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Marcos, where dinner was included. I went with the lasagna and mom tried Chicken Marsala for the first time. She wanted me to try her wine sauce and kept telling me it was out of this world! I’ll just have to return another day and try it for myself!

Food and service were spectacular! This mom and pop grew to several locations, but didn’t lose their old world recipe perfection for Italian...

A staple of San Marcos, the food here always delivers. Good service, great food. Family owned.

Lots of parking, kid-friendly (but still quiet-ish restaurant atmosphere). Wheelchair-accessible.
