If We Could Give It A Half Star

My girlfriend and I went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for the first time yesterday, both of us curious and excited about what it was going to be like since we've read mixed reviews. Right away we liked the atmosphere, but the hostess was not very friendly (both when we called earlier to make a reservation and when we got there). When we were finally seated, we didn't see our waitress for a full 15 minutes. She finally came and greeted us and said she'd be right back, but took an additional 10 minutes just to bring us some waters. By the time she came with the water we were ready to order, our drinks, appetizers, and main course. The waitress was very friendly and kind, but just incredibly slow. When the food came, the salad was okay and the bread would have been good but was undercooked. We ordered the shrimp, spinach, and artichoke dip for an appetizer and when it came it was overcooked, so the cheese was very hard on top, and there was not a single piece of shrimp to be found anywhere in the dip. We ordered the Italian meat trio for the main dish and it left much to be desired. The meatballs we're okay, but rather dry. I only took one bite of the Italian sausage and didn't enjoy it. It was flavorless and there was nothing special about it. The spaghetti was decent but the sauce needed more salt and flavor. Overall, the food was mediocre at best. The only redeeming part of the meal was the scoop of ice cream that came at the end. That was pretty good. I wouldn't recommend Old Spaghetti Factory to anyone. The biggest disappointment of all is that the atmosphere is really cool and it has the potential to be a pretty awesome restaurant, but the service sucks and the food is not that great. It was a big disappointment.

Always loved this place

We've been here plenty of times and never had a problem. Reasonably priced and good food. Think it's pretty funny that someone else relates it's perceived 'blandness' to this state and natives. There are definitely some poor Italian/Mediterranean restaurants around, but this is not one of them. Must be some reason why it's international and has been in business for so long. Customers keep coming back. Perhaps nonnatives should get around a little more and try some other places before coming to superficial conclusions...

I got a chance to eat at the spaghetti factory when I was visiting Denver. The food is the best!! I came home and this food and the dinning was to talk about. I can't wait until I get to take my family. I'm taking my family to visit this weekend and we have to stop by for dinner. Your dinning experience will never be the same. This is a must to go to and enjoy dinner. I like sitting on the train. Very enjoyable with the greatest tasting food ever!

My boyfriend and I went to thi...

My boyfriend and I went to this place just last night before going to Comedy Works. Well the experience was something else I tell you smh...sloppy, horrible, and down right incompetent. The best things were the appetizer and the cold beverages. We were served out of order completely. We first got our drinks, then the appetizer which was fine and normal. Then the waiter comes out with salad. I said ok, the salad looks a hot mess because it had very very little dressing on it. Then the dude comes out to bring her ice cream, then the check. Mind you we both ordered an entree which I had the baked chicken dinner. Not the best. This is something that really does taste like it was made in a factory. It was bland as all natives of CO. I make a much much better spaghetti than this might I add so they really need to hire new chefs along with a new competence boost. The shrimp, artichoke, and spinach dip was delicious though! If you're going to do Italian folks...try Cinzzetti's, one restaurant that's worth going to in this God forsaken bland of a state!

Fun place for families

We went with a group of 15, including 6 small kids. There was something for everyone. The kids really loved their kids meals. The pasta was good and the atmosphere was great.

This place is a must if you're in Denver

Every time I have family or friends coming in from out of town, I have to show them The Old Spaghetti Factory. And I always get rave reviews from my guests! The atmosphere is fun but very attractive and classic. The food has always been the best. I definitely recommend! And if you order an Italian Soda, you get to keep the glass. I have several. :-)

Fun Place, Average Food

This is a fun place for the whole family! The food is average, but it's still fun b/c of the train car!

Five star food with a three star price

This is the best food and ambiance that you can find for the price. For a date or to take the kids out for a neat dinner this is one place that everyone should go at least five times in their life!!!

Great restaurant for the whole family!

This is a great place. I went for the first time on my second date with my now husband! It was great dining on the trolley car and the decor is great and very unique. SInce then, we have made it one of our favorite stops. Now that we have children, we love to go there because of the great food atmosphere and also because it is very kid friendly. The children;' menu is a great value and overall is a great place! Recommended!

Fantastic!

Fantastic food & a great environment. You definitely get what you pay for. Your entree, salad or soup, drink, and either vanilla ice cream or spumoni is included in your price. Great deal! The fettucini alfredo is amazing, but I go for the spumoni :]

Vintage Goodness

We love the Spaghetti Factory. I have been going there since I was a little girl and now enjoy taking my family. We have fun checking out the eclectic fixtures (bed frames for booths) and the trolley is a must see. The food is so reasonably priced, adding in the cost of parking, doesn't bite into your budget. Also a fun place for out-of-town guests!
