The food was the biggest disappointment. My traditional order is spaghetti with half meat sauce and half clam sauce. Both sauces lacked the depth of layers I remember. The clam sauce was watery and almost devoid of any clams. I should have stuck with the minestrone soup — even though it relied almost solely on salt for its flavor.
The waitress was superb. She quickly took my order and did not waste time with idle chatter. She deserves 5 stars and a large tip. The same could not be said of the people on the reception desk who were indifferent to the presence of their waiting customers. They deserve one star and a lump of coal in their respective Christmas socks.
The Spaghetti Warehouse facilities have a reputation for eccentric decoration. This version was fun, but the eccentric edges had been smoothed almost to the point of Disney conformity.
It’s been decades since I last set foot in The Old Spaghetti Factory, and after this mission, I remember exactly why I went AWOL from the place. But in the Portland/Vancouver AO (Area of Operations), where decent Italian food is rarer than common sense in a staff meeting, our options are limited to chain chow halls like this one or Olive Garden–or we cook our own rations at home.
Veal Parmigiana? Fuggetaboutit. In Portland, the land of “progressive” cuisine and political correctness run amok, serving veal would probably trigger a protest faster than you can say Buon appetito.
I went with the Chicken Parmigiana ($22.99)–a breaded chicken breast buried under melted cheese and tomato sauce, served with Garlic Mizithra spaghetti. I called in two meatball reinforcements ($4.50), seasoned and sauced for backup. The chicken was scrawny and uninspired, but the meatballs were at least decent–nothing to write home about, but not an MRE either.
My wife ordered the Chicken Marsala ($22.99), supposedly “a seasoned breast of tender chicken with mushroom and Marsala wine sauce, served alongside spaghetti with Mizithra cheese and browned butter.” Sounds good on paper. Problem was, the Marsala sauce apparently contained tomato–for reasons known only to the kitchen gods–so she had to substitute Alfredo sauce instead. Result: bland, uninspired, and about as exciting as KP duty.
Service was friendly enough, but slower than a Monday morning staff meeting. We were one of only three tables during a lifeless lunch shift, yet it still felt like waiting for a resupply convoy stuck in the desert.
When the dust settled, the damage was $75 plus tip for a couple of unimpressive entrees and a reminder of why I hadn’t been here since the Clinton administration. Mediocre food, slow service, and inflated prices–this operation failed to meet mission objectives.

Gluten free pasta is fine but it sucks up all the sauce
Garlic cheese bread is usually to die for, but I guess it was too busy today.
Nothing tasted as good as when it’s slower and the kitchen has time to really create. But we will always be back
Good lunch menu. Reasonably priced.
Tip: try the spumoni ice cream with Carmel sauce.
Little birthday dinner for the wife pre birthday weekend festivities.
