The Old Spaghetti Factory in Salt Lake City delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish. Tanner, my waiter, was excellent—attentive, friendly, and on point with every detail, which made the meal even better. One thing I really appreciated was that the entrées actually looked just like the photos in the menu.
I ordered the Tuscan Chicken with creamy garlic Alfredo, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the sun‑dried tomatoes blended perfectly with the penne pasta. The minestrone soup was excellent, full of flavor and served piping hot. The Sicilian garlic cheese bread was very good, and even the simple house bread with butter stood out—warm, soft, and surprisingly memorable.
For dessert, the tiramisu was a great choice, but the real star of the night was their spumoni ice cream. Hands down the king of desserts and the perfect way to finish the meal.
A fantastic dining experience all around. Great food, great service, and Tanner made it even better. Five stars without hesitation.

Call me crazy but if I’m paying extra to get a hearty pasta why does it look dry should it not have extra sauce? I’ve eaten hear numerous times but it seems taking out is the worst option in this neighborhood. The Salt Lake City location never disappoints. It also lacks the flavor I longed for this is heart breaking.

Stepping into the Old Spaghetti Factory at Trolley Square always feels a bit like stepping through time, into a place where meals linger, stories are shared, and tradition matters. I’ve dined here many times over the years, but this most recent visit was especially memorable as we celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday, a milestone made all the sweeter by good food and warm atmosphere.
We made a reservation in advance, which I highly recommend, especially on a Friday night. Even arriving a little early, we were greeted by staff stationed outside, efficiently and cheerfully managing the evening’s flow before we ever crossed the threshold. True to form, we were seated right on time.
One of the enduring delights of this location is its variety of dining spaces, the main floor, the upstairs balcony, and even the iconic old trolley car, where I once had the pleasure of sitting on a previous visit. This time we were seated on the bustling main floor, right in the heart of the action. Far from distracting, it was a joy to watch the staff move with practiced rhythm, like a well-oiled macchina, each person knowing their part.
Our waitress (shout-out to Alex) was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, striking that perfect balance between present and unobtrusive. With it being the holiday season, I was genuinely impressed by the abundance of festive décor. It was warm, nostalgic, and charming, exactly the kind of old-world ambiance that pairs well with pasta and conversation.
As always, the drinks were a hit. My kids and I never pass up the cotton candy limeade, sweet, playful, and delightfully unique. While I usually come for their legendary mizithra cheese and browned butter for my entree, this time I branched out and ordered the Manager’s Favorite, a half-and-half plate. I paired the mizithra with their rich meat sauce, upgraded to the larger portion, and made it extra saucy. A wise decision, as it meant I enjoyed the meal all over again the next day.
Each entrée comes with a choice of soup or salad. I upgraded to a Caesar salad, while my son opted for the minestrone. And of course, no visit would be complete without the fresh bread and butter; simple, soft, and perfect for sopping up every last bit of sauce from the plate.
And just when you think the meal has come to a satisfying close, the included dessert arrives, a small but meaningful tradition that further cements the Old Spaghetti Factory’s place as a classic. Each entrée comes with a choice of vanilla ice cream or spumoni. A couple of us went with the classic vanilla, simple, smooth, and comforting, while others chose the spumoni, that old-school Italian favorite layered with chocolate, pistachio, and cherry ice creams (this one does not include bits of fruit and nuts). It’s the kind of dessert that feels nostalgic and ceremonial, less about indulgence and more about continuity, one final, sweet reminder that this is a place where traditions endure and meals are meant to be remembered.
The Old Spaghetti Factory has been a fixture in Salt Lake City for generations, and that history is part of its charm. Even my mother remembers coming here as a young single adult, and she still stops in whenever she’s back in town. Few restaurants can claim that kind of legacy.
Once again, the Old Spaghetti Factory did not disappoint. From the service to the setting to the satisfying comfort of a hearty Italian meal, it earns every bit of its five stars. This is a place where memories are made, and remade, one plate of pasta at a time.

The fact that you have a variety of gluten free options is a ++! Andrew was awesome! Funny, witty, and patient with our party(4kids). I was surprised when I received the check because I was fearing a much higher price.

We used to have an Old Spaghetti Factory downtown Boise a long time ago. I never got a chance to try it out. So, when my friend suggested this joint for lunch, I didn’t hesitate!
I love love love the setting and vibe of this venue. The velvet furniture. The beautiful chandeliers (I’m a sucker for beautiful chandeliers). The trolley in the middle of the restaurant. The theme of the restaurant. It’s such a pretty era.
We were sat next to the trolley which was cool. Our server greeted us and got drinks started. I asked for ice tea with extra lemon. Extra could be an extra slice or two? Ya, I only got one slice.
I did creep out the menu the night before so I knew what I wanted. While we were all checking out the menu, we all noticed how cold it was. The restaurant was quite chilly. I was layered nicely and was still cold. “The building” regulates our temp. Odd really, cause all the other little shops we hit up felt fine to us. So, let’s be honest and fix the temperature so your guests aren’t freezing.
For lunch I did ask if I could order off the kids menu. It wasn’t an issue so that was nice. The spinach and cheese ravioli with marinara sounded fantastic. I also get a side of applesauce with it! Win win! My daughter ordered the lunch pot pourri. It was a neat way to try a little of everything.
My applesauce came out first. I enjoyed a bit of it. Warm bread also came out. My daughter got the minestrone soup as her side. She said it was good. You get quite a bit in the kids portion. It was a nice portion for me. I don’t know who dropped the ball but my food was not hot, it was barely warm. I don’t know if they purposely serve cooler food for kids but as a server, it should have been expressed to the kitchen it was for an adult. I believe I would have enjoyed them more if it was hotter. It was not even warm enough to melt the cheese on top. I ate about 2 of them and was over it. Eating cold pasta isn’t all that appetizing.
I really wanted to enjoy today’s visit. The venue is fun! But I didn’t come for just the venue. I came for the food! But my food was cold. The venue was cold. Our server did the min serving us. Such a shame really. Such a neat restaurant to only push out the bar minimum. I think I’d rather stick to a local Italian joint next time. Supporting locals cause they care about what they push out. Just another franchise restaurant that is hoping their name alone will attract you. In this case it did but never again.

Downtown Salt Lake City, Warm historical atmosphere, trolley car dining area, wonderful food. A true gathering place to enjoy. Brown butter & Mizithra cheese. 100% durum semolina pasta. Quality sauces and meats that balance the plate. Spumoni dessert. Italian cream soda in a novelty glass you take home.

I’ve eaten her for over 30 years. This has to be one of my all time favorites aside from a problem here and there it’s been exceptional… I do live down south and was so excited when one came to Orem and crushed when they left…. We ordered door dash now that would be my only complaint, which they don’t have a complete menu. I would like to get sides of dressing and sides of sauce. That are not so tiny. But regardless I can get my favorite food for dashed !!!!❤️❤️.

I have gone here since i was very young with my family when we came to town to visit. It still brings such good memories to me. I was recently in town and came here by myself for not only the food, but the nostalgia, and it did not disappoint. Left with a full belly, a full heart, and a mere pittance out of my wallet. I will be back anytime I am here in town.

Fun atmosphere. Getting salad, the entree, and a scoop of icecream for one price is cool. The shrimp pasta was delicious. The meat lovers was just okay. Sauce was bland. The salads are very basic, just packaged lettuce/cabbage mix with dressing.
