| - When i found out that this was being built, I was super excited to try it since I had heard so many great things about this restaurant chain. So, Friday night, I ordered my husband to meet me there. First things first, have fun finding a parking spot! Once inside, we waited about 15 minutes before being taken to a booth. The overall setup of the restaurant is very nice, spacious with very comfortable seating and a fun trolly car in the middle of the restaurant where they seat people as well. The aroma upon entering was very pleasant so I thought we were in for a delicious dining experience and that OSF had potential to be added to our restaurant rotation.
I was definately pleased when I saw the price of everything and that all meals included salad, bread, drink, and ice cream. Unfortunately, this was also a downfall because the cheaper the place, the more family friendly it is, hence more asshole kids! They were fricken everywhere, my head was spinning. I would like to add that if you have kids and they are screaming, get them the F out of the restaurant. Just because you think its adorable that little Johnny is banging his silverware around and screaming at the top of his lungs doesn't mean I enjoy it. In fact, one of these days, you are going to get punched in the face thanks to Little Johnny!
Anyways, the husband and I, both having large appetites, each ordered platters. Me: The meat lovers treat which was spaghetti with meatballs and sausage (I tried it because it is the Old Spaghetti Factory after all and they should make good Spaghetti) and the hub chose the premier which was lasagna and chicken marsala. Both of us chose the salad with the creamy pesto dressing (they didnt have ranch and this was the closest dressing to it). We were off to a good start when the bread arrived hot and fresh, a lovely loaf of sourdough goodness. The salad, although consisting of only iceberg lettuce and a few carrots, was refreshing and acted as an excellent vehicle for getting the creamy and delicious dressing into my mouf! However, when the actual meals arrived, everything just seemed mediocre. The sauce on my spaghetti tasted jarred, didnt have much meat in it which was odd for a meat sauce, the meatballs were wayyyyyy too salty, and the sausage was your basic sausage, nothing special about it. The hub said his meal was very much the same, nothing great. In fact, at one point, he stated that he wished he was at Olive Garden. Unfortunately, I couldn't disagree. In any event, I decided to box up the remainder of my meal and we proceeded with eating our spumoni which obviously wasn't bad. How can you mess up ice cream though that is scooped from a bucket???
When leaving, I decided I wanted to go into the mall to see the puppies at puppies of love. Brings me such joy. Haha. I wasnt sure what to do with my box of leftovers but when thinking about it, I determined that they were not even going to get eaten so there was no point in taking it. All in all, if you are looking for cheap and your not a true Italian and dont care about true Italian food, then you might like this place. However, if you want GOOD spaghetti and meatballs, try Rigatonies (all their food is great) or Pesto's. Thank you very much :)
