OSF  4 Star Rating - Very good

When I first walked in I was in love. The whole place smelled great and the inside was absolutely wonderful. Antiques everywhere, and a sleigh inside!! Tons of interesting furniture, historical items, and good seating. We had a birthday party and everything was done to perfection with food being on time. 2 minutes after ordering salad it was there!! And before we even finished them our food was out!! The ice cream looked melted and then frozen, but the waiter said it was because the temperature in the back kitchen was hot as the person scooped TONS of ice cream, so I can't blame them. It tasted GREAT at a good price. So much food!!

Great atmosphere...Terrible Food!!  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I have been to MANY italian restaurants in the PHX, Chandler, Mesa area and I was terribly disappointed in the food. The staff was wonderful, the trolly car was an awesome touch, the whole "look" was great. Just don't go for the food! We ordered 4 different dished and neither were and good. I had many positive reviews from friends, but being a huge pasta fan, this is NOT the place to go!!

Spaghetti Factory  5 Star Rating - World class

The Old Spaghetti Factory is a family favorite! Their food and prices can't be beat! Every meal comes with fresh baked bread and plain & garlic butter spread, a salad, pasta dish, ice cream & milk. All this for between $6 & $11!!! It's absolutely wonderful! Can be busy for dinner, but it's well worth the wait!

PROS: Fabulous Italian Food at Great Prices!
CONS: none

Kid friendly, predictable good food, low prices  4 Star Rating - Very good

To add to what has already been said, this is a place you can take the kids, even if they're a little noisy. You don't have to budget for this one as the food prices are so reasonable we sometimes eat here as a replacement for eating at home. The free spumoni (like ice cream) is a nice touch. They do spaghetti and pasta very well - good every time.

PROS: Low prices, kid friendly
CONS: Parking isn't the best when busy

Good choice for italian  4 Star Rating - Very good

The atmosphere in here is incredible its actually and old historic home converted to a restraunt, it takes you back in time. In the center of the restraunt is a trolley which you can be seated in, the kids love it. The food is oaky not exactly gourmet but it works.

Great Italain Dishes  4 Star Rating - Very good

I prefer the fetticini alfredo with the chicken, one of the best dishes. I also like their ceasar salads, and breadsticks. What I really like about this place is that on Birthdays, they will make a huge deal and get the whole wait staff to sing to the b-day person, it's fun.

Beyond Spaghetti  4 Star Rating - Very good

Nice place to dine with family. The wall hanging and decor is so interesting, it gives you something to look at. The food is really good with so many different italian dishes.

Wonderful after graduation! 5 Star Rating - World class

After graduating from the University of Phoenix Online, my father and I wanted Italian. On our way back to our hotel, we happened upon this place and what a jackpot! The food was delicious! The atmosphere is awesome and unique and the service was great! There was so much food that I was thankful we had a refrigerator and microwave in our hotel room. I just wish you had a location in Chicago!

Pros: Inexpensive, good food, atmosphere
Cons: , no bar area, parking is strange

User below is wrong 5 Star Rating - World class

There was never an Old Spagetti Factory in Chander... she was reviewing Mike Pulos Spagetti Factory which is rightfully now out of business (it stank).

The Old Spagetti Factory, however, is great. You get huge portions, and salad, dessert, and coffee or tea is included in the price. There is always a long wait, however, there is a movie room and lots of games to keep the kids entertained. This is a favorite spot for our family.

Pros: Great food, good value, fun atmosphere
Cons: Crowded, limited parking

To be no more 5 Star Rating - World class

The service was fast & very friendly. The food was very scrumptous. I was very delicious. My friend & I were disheartened to hear that this there last week as the Old Spaghetti Factory, the owner is gonna turn into country type resturant where they will serve breakfast & lunch. According our waitress she said they have lost business since they built the new Chandler mall. But the one on Central in open. I would highly reccomend it!!

Pros: good parking, fast service
Cons: portions are small
