One of my kids got to the Macaroni and Cheese and loves it. My other son got the grilled cheese sandwich and it was good. It looked delicious and it had zero crust which he liked. I got the Tusken chicken Alfredo. I like it the chicken in it tastes good. My daughter got chicken Alfredo and I agree with her the sauce is a little oily but it was tasty. The cheesy garlic bread is pretty good too. The minestrone soup is good as well. My husband and I have been coming here for over 18 years now.

It has been 17 years since I last ate at a Spaghetti Factory. So, I made a special detour on a trip yesterday when I saw one was available in Vancouver. A long absence did not improve the experience.

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.

It’s loud but festive.
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.

Greta place. Portions are plentiful and service is excellent. The broccoli appetizer is top notch. Been over ten years since my last visit but I am glad this place has held onto its tradition

Okay I love eating here it is so fun I love the whimsical drinks and the pasta. The inside of this restaurant is so cool and funky! I love the little train car. The food is pretty on par with Olive Garden but the true star is the spumoni ice cream. It’s so good! Cherry, pistachio and chocolate! It’s like a fancy Neapolitan and I love it. 🙂

This was an absolutely lovely experience! Food was delicious, restaurant was clean and bussed at record speed. Turn around rate was amazing. Our server Rose was exceptional and reminded us that proper customer service does indeed still exist. We never had to ask for anything, her personality and attentiveness made the already great experience even better. Worth the heftier price in today’s economy.

Took my wife here for her first time on Thursday night. We didn’t make a reservation and waited 15 to 20 minutes. The building has a cozy family vibe to it. Nice tables and booths, as well as a trolley cart to enjoy your meal in. The building kinda had an old musty smell to it. The kind an old building has. The service was great, super friendly, and helpful staff. The food was great, too. I strongly recommend the artichoke and spinach dip appetizer.

I first called the restaurant because when you call it gives you an option to reserve a reservation but when a hostess answer she sounded like she didn’t want to be there. When we ask if there is a long waiting time and she said it was very busy and will take about 30 min wait. We ask if we can reserve a reservation and she then said we can’t and that it had to be done couple hours a head of time. We told her why did your phone said to press 1 to reserve a reservation? When we got there it was not busy at all. We had to wait about 15 mins. When we got to our table our waitress look like she didn’t want to be there. She was short, not so friendly like, etc. the food was not great at all and over price. It is sad to say Olive Garden would have been better and that is not saying a lot. Definitely recommend not to go there especially the prices is way to high for foods that is not great. Last time going there.

Definitely my family’s go to for good and convenient Italian cuisine. It isn’t the best of the best, and I don’t expect it to be. But it is exactly what we are craving and wanting and they know how to deliver just that. We sat at the bar and our server (and entire restaurants bartender) was fantastic will choose them over the other local Italian chain 100 percent of the time.
Tip: try the spumoni ice cream with Carmel sauce.
Little birthday dinner for the wife pre birthday weekend festivities.
