What People Are Saying About The Old Spaghetti Factory

Featured Review

In Short – Whimsical antiques and decorative items--velvet armchairs, vintage-looking fringed lamps and booths made from iron bedsteads--fill the dining room. The OSF Classics menu offers spaghetti with a choice of mushroom sauce, rich meat sauce, browned butter and feta-like mizithra cheese sauce, and more. Other popular favorites are the baked lasagna--layers of noodles, tomato sauce and four kinds of cheese--and the fettuccine Alfredo. Meals include a green salad, fresh-baked bread and ice cream.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:

Awesome Place

by f1079 at Citysearch

The spaghetti factory looks so cool on the inside. I love the train car! They also have awesome tortellini in alfredo sauce! I love their bread too. I highly recommend this place!

Inexpensive, Large Portions, Delicious

by notoriousnicholas at Citysearch

I have been going to the Old Spaghetti Factory since I was little. It has always been a family favorite for birthdays, and celebrations. Meals come with delicious bread and garlic butter, salad and spumoni ice cream for desert. Try the mizithra, and the Italian sodas (you get to keep the glass).

  • Pros: Large Portions, atmosphere, family friendly
  • Cons: Long waits for seats, occasionaly

Very lousy

by jmacslc09 at Citysearch

Honestly, this is one of the worst places I've been to in Salt Lake City. I ordered the lasagna and my girlfriend ordered the spaghetti, they were both horrible.

  • Pros: nice atmosphere
  • Cons: food was awful.

Best Value

by marichey at Citysearch

I always like to go here. You never have to wait too long and the value can't get any better. The pesto salad dressing is so good. The bread is good, but the cheesy bread is even better. Try the Mizirtha cheese with browned butter and you can't go wrong. They only thing I had here that was okay was the chicken marsala. Everything else was really good. I have gone enough times to have everything on the menu. And I always order the mizritha cheese.

Good for kids and that's about it.

by conniecorleone at Citysearch

Everything at this Italian "restaurant" is sub-par, right down to the marinara that comes from the can. Yuck. I actually wouldn't even take my kids there as I can throw together a marinara in about 10 minutes that is healthier and superior in all ways. Thumbs-down for sure!

  • Cons: Disgusting food...need I say more?
