I entered the establishment without a thought in mind other than hunger--but what awaited me was much much more. I found my way to an exquisite booth and ordered the entree number 3 (spaghetti with delectable meat sauce), accompanied by a refreshing and ice cold water and fizzy Dr. Pepper. The room felt homey but I still felt respected. One of the members in our party, is diagnosed with autism and felt respected and welcomed in this fine establishment. (Yvonne and Ella, you'll know who I'm talking about) Overall Yvonne our main waiter managed a huge amount of orders from our team with high skill and fast service (like a boss ) while still telling us stories of the facilities past and interesting superstitions. One of our teammates also got broken up with and was given a complimentary ice cream. Thanks Ella (our other chill ahh waiter)!! They also kept us safe from the ghosts in the tunnels. Chill ahh waiters, chill ahh ambience, and some chill ahh food. Would eat here again!
Their food is just amazing always prepared with so much care. They do great in accommodation for food issues. Service is great the waiters are always willing to help out. Great for a night out on the town with is classy atmosphere!
This place had great ambiance that made the place feel cozy and welcoming. The service was decent, but good. We got seated and taken care of as soon as we walked in. It was a large group of us that ordered separate dishes, and we were all quite satisfied. Our favorite part was the cream soda souvenir!
I literally have been coming to Old Spaghetti Factory for decades just for the mizithra cheese. From young childhood when I would get the kids sized version with the raspberry Italian soda with cream (in a cup you could keep!), to most recently this past summer as a 30+ year old ordering just the cheese to go. Yes! Did you know you could get 5 oz of grated mizithra cheese?? I went for my birthday, decided I hadn't had enough cheese so just swung by to pick up just the cheese and put it in my spaghetti throughout the week. Goodness gracious this cheese is so good. Even though this visit was a drive-by, I love going in person and getting the minestrone soup, all the bread with regular and garlic butter, and the spumoni after dinner. Truly, a staple in my diet since '99.
Great food, service, and ambiance. Good options for vegetarian, pescatarian, and low carb/calorie diets. Spokane staple for many, many years. Definitely make reservations if you're going on a weekend night.
I have lived in the Spokane area for most of my life and, until tonight, had never been to The Old Spaghetti Factory. The restaurant is clean and the seating eclectic. Our server Cammy was great. She checked on us often, but not intrusively. We started with their Sicilian Garlic Cheese Bread (A generous portion of fresh bread topped with a tasty blend of garlic and three melted cheeses served toasted with a side of our homemade Marinara Sauce). For entrees, I ordered their Breast of Chicken Fettuccine (Fettuccine topped with tender diced chicken breast, fresh broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, Alfredo Sauce, and shredded Romano cheese). It was exactly what I had hoped. Jenna went with a small side of broccoli (Broccoli lightly flavored with Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter. A great compliment to any entrée) and a breast of chicken. What we both realized is that we're not fans of browned butter. The real reason we went here, was to get the glasses they were offering.
