Old school house charm for hours of fun eating and discovering all the memorabilia left behind by the students. The food was delicious. Drinks are yummy. Hot fresh baked sourdough bread is delivered to your table with garlic butter, unlimited. Salad or soup is included in your meal along with pistachio, cherry, and chocolate spumoni ice cream. Pictures, musical instruments, and blackboard settings. This is great for any education related parties. Retirement, teacher birthday, school staff parties, anyone who loves the old school look.

Yes!! The Old Spaghetti Factory! Great place to hit up for some authentic Italian food. I've been coming here since the 90's and the food,taste and quality has not changed, not to say the least but the portions are on point too, good sized portions. I would recommend their baked lasagna that's my go-to the flavor on that thing AMAZING! The Fettuccine chicken and shrimp yummy as well. Everything on the menu is a must quality,flavor and made fresh! The restaurant itself has several rooms, the flag room is my favorite. I believe this used to be a school in early 1900's so the architecture is amazing to look at, the wall decor etc...everything about the restaurant is nice. Chairs and tables as well give it that look, nice place. There is also a very nice bar area lots of stuff to look at while you're sitting there enjoying your drink. The restaurant does get full so I would recommend making a reservation. I think our server waiter was Miguel awesome guy, came around constantly, brought all the food out at once, excellent service! staff is always on point here. The restaurant is always clean from chairs to tables to floors being clean. The exterior of the restaurant clean as well and definitely architecture nice!🤌plenty of parking as well. Overall this is a must for authentic homemade Italian food!

Food is delishious. The waiters walk around constantly asking if everything is OK. It is about a 10- 15 minute wait, but it is worth it. Made a good drawing with the crayons they gave me. There are so many flags and a great atmosphere and smell. The waiters name is Jordan. Thank you very much. Hey, give her a raise she deserves it!

This place is one of our favorites and love to visit when we can. The atmosphere is charming and our service was excellent! We had the Garlic Cheese Bread and the Breast of Chicken Fettuccine. Would recommend them both. Love that the meal comes with a scoop of ice cream to finish it off!

Nice atmosphere for family get together- dinner. Haven't been there in a while but it's still just as nice. Food was yummy. I had mushroom ravioli with salad and took a picture of Chicken Marsala, plus Spumoni ice cream.

The food was very delicious. We enjoyed our three course meal for sure. Our waitress was also very nice, and responsive. I also love the atmosphere, and how they redid the school. They seemed like they kept a lot of the features despite it being a restaurant which is really cool. I snapped some shots from the school days and will include them in the review.

Reasonably priced and they give you a good amount of food. Entrees came with salad or soup, bread for the table to share, and ice cream. The salad was OK. It was an iceberg lettuce mix, similar to Olive Garden's. Their house dressing was akin to ranch, so I got the balsamic vinaigrette (which turned out to be rather bland). For my entree, I had spaghetti with meat sauce. The meat was all beef, which I appreciated as places sometimes incorporate pork. I like al dente pasta, so for me the spaghetti was overcooked. The service was good. If you're looking for a place that is clean with a sizeable amount of food for a decent price, then this is a good choice. The food isn't great, but it's fine.

Beautifully restored school house from the early 1900's ... Just stunning. Charming and exquisitely refurbished. Very well-done decor. Service was very good. Food was ok. Nothing to chat about. We had the Ceasar salad, Spaghetti with (large) meatballs, steamed broccoli and bread. It was edible. You're going for the ambiance & service. Price was very reasonable for lunch and scenery. I went with my Sister-in-Christ to celebrate Christmas and bring in the season. I highly recommend just for the experience. Blessings !

I requested a gluten free option for my pasta choice. When it came to the table, the sauce was ladled atop the shrimp and pasta, with nothing to complete the presentation (no herbs, no offer of Parmesan or red pepper flakes), and there was a significant amount of water in the bottom of the bowl. I showed it to the waitress and she took it back to the kitchen. Several minutes later (not too long), she brought me a new dish. The wait staff were actually very attentive and helpful!

Very unique architecture. I enjoyed the vibe inside. Bathrooms are downstairs, but there is an elevator to them. I would recommend making reservations for larger parties, it does get busy here. The food overall was very good. I prefer my ravioli to have a little bit of a kick in flavor but it definitely didn't taste bad. You get a large amount of food so expect to take leftovers home.

Got takeout and the adult mac n cheese was super bland—no real flavor at all. For the price, it was pretty disappointing. Haven’t eaten in, but after this I’m not in a rush to try. 3 stars

Food was mediocre. Service was not good, we even got someone else's bill. Forgot to refill our drinks. Too expensive for the quality of food. Cute atmosphere. That's all that was worth it

I've always have seen it in passing and was curious to try. They have the 3 meal course. You get minestrone soup or house salad (I opted for a Ceasar salad) your entree and ice cream. The Cesear salad tasted very watery, not sure if it was freshly washed romaine or the dressing was watered down. For my entree I chose the meat lovers pasta. Meatballs were moist and soft, meat sauce was good, I can do without the sausage. My son had lasagna, wasn't very impressed, isn't a huge variety of cheese at once fan, My brother was satisfied with his chicken fettuccine. We asked for bread and received hot fresh sourdough with butter. That was yummy. The options for ice cream are vanilla (always the safest) and Spumoni; a nice combination of Chocolate, cherry and pistachio. My son and I had never had spumoni and decided to be adventurous. Great choice, good serving size and satisfying. We may not have been blown away with the food, however, our server was very polite, prompt, helpful. All around great hospitality. I wish I could remember his name. Not sure if it helps, we sat behind the train facing the entrance

Since the first time I visited this place I really enjoyed it. We always make the long drive there because the food is actually really delicious, the servers are always kind to us and helpful. Sadly, we didn’t have a good experience this time because although we had a pretty large party in our group, we had two reservations that could have easily been seated close by together, unfortunately the manager on shift gave us a really hard time and excuses that ruined our celebration. We ended up getting seated at positive ends of the building. So the whole night we could not have a proper celebration. My family ended having a big enough room for everyone but the manager was just having a fit. So that’s the last time we will be visiting there sadly, we can always find pasta anywhere else and closer to where we live.

We went because I have the app and get rewards. I got one for birthday to get a free meal. We go and it always looks nice. Our waiter made it seem because we used coupon and didn’t order a big meal, made us feel like we were cheap and just messed up the birthday vibe. Before payment, he says he can get us out since we were in a rush which we weren’t. I don’t know why he assumed that. He even got our order wrong and had to repeat to him a few times. Maybe he’s new? Usually have a good time, but he messes up the vibe for it being a birthday.

Just had the worst experience. Dana is rude and unprofessional, we ordered takeout the hostess asked us to wait over at the pick up area. We waited for ten minutes and the hostess finally came over to check on us. She said the manager would come and help us. Dana then came up and I asked her if our food have been sitting in the back for the whole 10 minutes that we’ve been waiting and she said I don’t know I didn’t help you so rude the manager tried, but she was trying to start a fight and he had to shut her down. Very sad poor customer service 10 out of 10 do not recommend. they forgot our bread and our drinks. Definitely don’t wanna have to go back now. I need to call the store to deal with the manager because they forgot the drinks for the kids and the bread really disappointed. we spent a lot of money on kids meals and you know how picky kids can be and then they forget everything forcing us to have to go back we spent over $40. This place is really gone downhill get it together spaghetti factory.
