My boyfriend and i go here once in a while, and i love it, the bed frame seats and goofy lamps, try the managers specal where you can get clam alfroedo, red sauce and mea sauce over pasta, the clam linguine is still my fav. included with you meal is a salad/soup fresh baked bread, and ice cream, dont go for the vanilla, go for the spumane. i do wish the salad was a little bigger, but the blue cheese is very good, and isnt real strong. check ths place out

Oh mygosh. MY first and only love is the 4 types of spaghetti on 1 plate. clam, marinara, chees/olive oil and something else that went straight to my belly. great atmospher, great ITATLIAN sodas, cool train thingy ma jingy that's in one of the roos that you can dine on. SERVICE is really good, speedy, good prices, worthy of everyones time and money drive and energy. And after dinner...I scream for ICEcream at this place. I prefer the SACRAMENTO location above the CONCORD location. I think it is concord.

You can always count on Old Spaghetti Factory. Good price and great bread. The chicken Parmigian is excellant. Where else can you go and get ice cream included with your dinner?

You pay a canned food price and what you get is a canned food meal. The food was average and the wait staff was slightly better. Good place to go if you want a cheaper meal or your taste buds are dead!

this is fake italian food. the pasta is over-cooked and the meat is poor quality. I love the pesto dressing for the salad though. the never-ending bread helps the situation. spumoni ice cream topps off a slightly medeocre event.

The Old Spaghetti Factory The food and spaghetti is good although the red sauce reminds me of the stuff you get out of a can. I personally like the Mizithra Cheese Sauce on my spaghetti. The salad is lettuce and a little red lettuce mixed in, nothing special. The soup looks like it is out of the can. The bread is good, but I doubt they bake it there. The service is good. The restaurant is loud. The setting is a renovated rail road station with a railroad dinning car inside. If you want real Italian food go somewhere else.

As mentioned by nearly everybody else, the food at the Spaghetti Factory is tasty and comes in adequate amounts at a low cost. The chief complaint is the wait (15 minutes to an hour.) I agree with these statements, but know that the wait is worth it. As long as you don't mind the hustle and bustle of a busy resturaunt. This is an excellent regular dinning spot to keep in mind. One suggestion, choose which one to go to. The location on Folsom Blvd. and HWY 50 is excellent. Even the wait is enjoyable(located in an old Winery accompanied by shops like an art gallery and candle shop.)

We enjoy family birthday dinners weekdays to avoid the crowds. The all you want hot loaf of bread and garlic butter with the fresh salad and exceptional chunky roquefort dressing were excellent as well as the volcano spaghetti. Enough of the volcano with the spicy meats were served for a take home lunch for the nest day.

I love this place, I love Italian foods, this food is great. I just wish they had a bigger variety of different types of sauces, such as pestos and Alfredo.

I LOVE THIS PLACE...ITS MY FAVORITE SPAGHETTI PLACE!! PORTIONS ARE LARGE, SALAD AND BREAD ACCOMPANY ALL ENTREES. MY FAVORITE IS THE MANAGER'S SPECIAL 1/2 AND 1/2 - ANY TWO SAUCES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE MIZITHRA CHEESE/BROWNED BUTTER AND MEAT SAUCE...A PERFECT COMBINATION!!! AMBIANCE IS OUTSTANDING AND IF YOU TIME YOUR ARRIVAL JUST RIGHT, THERE IS A MINIMAL WAIT! I ALSO LOVE THEIR STRAWBERRY LEMONADE (W/O THE ALCOHOL) -- YOU GET TO KEEP THE GLASS!!

COME EARLY AND COME OFTEN! PEAK HOURS CAN DRAW A TREMENDOUS CROWD. THE ATMOSPHERE, FOOD AND PRICES, ARE WORTH THE WAIT. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, ASK IF YOU CAN SIT IN THE OLD TROLLEY CAR. THIS RESTAURANT IS ON MY FAVORITES LIST.
