| - My girlfriend found this place on Yelp and after reading the mediocre reviews, we decided to check and see for ourselves what the Old Spaghetti Factory has to offer. We made our way from the Distillery District, which was about 15 minutes walk away.
As we entered we were seated almost instantly. As we walked to our seats, i thought the look and feel of the restaurant was quite odd, but unique. We ended up being seating in what seemed to look like a merry go round.
The waitress was pretty quick in making us feel welcome and politely asked for drinks. We both got water, but they offer pop, coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages as well. We were both pretty hungry.
I ended up ordering Caesar salad and the good 'ol spaghetti and meat balls, while she ordered Caesar salad and some Italian sausage spaghetti. The Caesar salad wasn't good, there was too much sauce and powdered cheese. I also thought both spaghetti meals were alright, but i wasn't amazed with the meatballs - they seemed very plain and dry. I ended up soaking the meatballs in as much spaghetti sauce as possible. The Italian sausage was actually tasty, but at the same time, its hard to mess up sausages.
All in all, the food was average, and the service was great. If you have never been to the Old Spaghetti Factory before, i recommend trying it for yourself to see how you like it. I would definitely choose Scaddabush over this place when it comes to Spaghetti, and all other types of Italian food.
