When you come in here, you don’t expect that this restaurant will be so huge and has a unique design.
We ordered a starter and 2 main dishes with pasta. I was surprised that you’ll get a soup or salad and a dessert like a bonus.
I was full when I ate a starter, half of soup, half a salad.
1. Sicilian Garlic Bread 9.5$. Warm, crispy outside and soft inside, sause was good.
2. Soup is so delicious, salad is huge, but nothing special.
3. Shrimp Fettuccine 24.25$. was OK, I wanna more flavor for shrimps.
4. Lobster&Crab Ravioli 24.50$. It was nicely cooked. The sause seemed a little bit watery. The filling was delicious.
Nancy, our waiter, was polite.
Thank you!

My daughter wanted to come here to have dinner. We were able to walk in and be seated quickly. The writer came and took our drink and food orders. The place is very lovely inside and I was surprised to see the cable car inside, which people are able to sit in and eat. The food was delicious and hot. After ordering it came pretty quick. The drinks or delicious and enjoyable and the service was very professional. It was clean and quiet inside.

We used to love this place and we hadn’t been here in quite some time. So since I had an appointment out in Concord I decided to stop off and take home dinner. While I was waiting for my takeout order, I saw two groups come in and wait to be seated. They both threw up their hands in disgust and left and one guy came out saying they had been at the table for over 30 minutes and didn’t even have water. So what I’d like to say is the facility hasn’t changed and I suspect they are severely short-staffed. It just seemed to take forever for everything.
On the other hand, their food is as good as ever. The portions are a little bit smaller, but that’s to be expected given the inflation right now. But we were all delighted that our favorites tasted just as good as they always did! The people who do work there are very friendly and try very hard. I just think they’re short-staffed

Really enjoyed it, reminds me of my childhood going to the Jack London Square Location. Eating there the food is exactly how I remember it! Leaving full and satisfied!

The Old Spaghetti Factory has been a family spot for us for years! Now that we have moved out of state it is a tradition to have our last nights dinner in CA here with the entire family. Last night (12-28) we did just that. Our experience was wonderful, our party size is 12, 4 kids and my elderly parents! Our waiter was Nate and he was absolutely AWESOME!! It is truly refreshing to have the same great food, atmosphere and service we have come to expect. Keep up the good work!!

It always seems to be a great experience going to the Old Spaghetti Factory. The food is always good the service is always great and the prices are fairly reasonable. I ordered the large lobster and crab ravioli which was tasty but for the price I was expecting a few more ravioli, just a slightly larger portion would have been nice.

I got the lasagna and my partner got the breast of chicken fettuccine. The lasagna was fantastic and well worth it. The sauce was not overpowering at all. I recommend adding some salt, pepper, and parmesan on top. The chicken fettuccine was honestly not very special and not something we would ever get again. The dish lacked depth of flavor and felt overpriced for what it was. Additionally, there are pesto options that are not listed on the menu. If you love pesto I would ask the waiter for their options. Ice cream was served as a dessert as standard and bread was an appetizer.

You’re a decent basic old school Italian restaurant. We got the meals. I had the mushroom sauce spaghetti with the salad on the side. The salad came with a creamy pesto sauce which was quite delicious. Partner had the spaghetti and meatballs with minestrone soup and we also got a side of broccoli. Everything was pretty good, the only thing we did notice was that the meatballs were a bit on the salty side. You got bread nice and hot out of the oven, which was delicious. Scent sent with the butter was a nice treat. I am sorry I do not have pictures for this particular visit because we were kind of hungry and we kind of Dove into everything. My apologies. The restaurant seems very popular for birthday celebrations, I think we had to sing Happy Birthday three times. Dessert was a scoop of ice cream, either vanilla or spumoni, we opted for vanilla because we’re vanilla. Very friendly atmosphere, good vibes, nice staff. Looks like this place could be set up for large parties if you had one. The restaurant sits right across the street from a local park, which even late at night. Was pretty busy with kids playing in the sandlot and playground and people doing other Park things on a very nice warm evening. Definitely worth coming back when we’re in the area, although there’s a whole lot of restaurants around the square, so we will probably hit those before we return to the Old Spaghetti Factory

Been here a few times recently and every time was delicious. I had the chicken parm which was delicious. My Dad had spaghetti and meatballs, and our friend had chicken mars a la. They both loved their dinners. Overall a great time.

Sometimes I walk in and there is no host/ess. I just stand there. They have excellent meats. My last visit was a drink disappointment. My 16oz cup was filled to the top with ice. That means for my $3.50, I got two sips. Not cool at all.
I must me a glutton for punishment. This place is always understaffed. Only because the food hits the spot and parking is reasonably easy, do I continue to come here.
Update. Greeted promptly. Staff was efficient and friendly. Most of my order was good. With exception of the shake. It was quite simply the worst shake ever made. They grinder ice cubes and then added ice cream is what it seemed like. I could hear the ice being added to the cup and blended. I watched also. It was nearly impossible to drink. I had a 1/2 cup of ice remaining.
