To make a long story short my partner and I received a gift card for Old Spaghetti Factory. Usually, we go to the location in Central Phoenix, but I wanted to check out the newer location at Chandler Fashion Mall. It is located in the old "Gardunos" restaurant building.
The first thing that impressed me was that the lighting was 150% better than the previous restaurant. Old Spaghetti Factory is not fancy or pretentious and very affordable. For the 2 of us the total bill was $26.00. We opted to sit in the lounge/bar area, usually I am leery of sitting in that section at any restaurant due to lousy service. We were pleasantly surprised by the capable hostess/bartender who was working that night. She handled all the food and drink orders for the whole section with great professionalism. If any criticism can be made of the food it would be that the salad was very generic, but other than that it was a great dining experience. I had crab stuffed ravioli, very tasty indeed! The best part is that dessert (ice cream or sherbert) is included in the price of an entree. We will definitely eat there again.
