The Old Spaghetti Factory

The Old Spaghetti Factory is a Portland staple, the building is amazing, the atmosphere is quite romantic (Esp if you head upstairs to the lounge) the food however is a chain restaurant quality. In our case our entire meal appetizers and main course came out at the same time and our dessert was rock hard and a little freezer burnt. The flip side of this is that you can get a three course meal at $22 per-person and the atmosphere is great, and the wait staff is super nice and helpful. So I'll let you be the judge of what you want to do. All I can say is that even with the okay quality food, I will be back as it's a damn good deal with a great experience.

The Spaghetti Factory always has good food. We had made arrangements for a 6pm reservation at a window table. They were very busy, but in order to be seated(20 min past our 6pm reservation) we were just put at a table that was open. Otherwise, it was going to be a 30-45min wait. Pushing our 6pm reservation to 7pm. What's the good of making a reservation when it isn't important for them to honor it. Otherwise, the food was good but we had to ask for bread and waited a while for service. It was still a good night, and I appreciate all the hard work the staff had to endure. There was just too many teenagers trying to organize hundreds of people. This place needs better management.

I have heard about this one quite a few times and It turned out to be great the food was amazing, even though it looked like it would be really cheesy it wasn't. The service was a bit slow but I understand that because there were a lot of people who were going to prom and I mean a lot. The atmosphere was nice, sitting by a river. So overall I totally recommend going to the old spaghetti factory...
