The Old Spaghetti Factory - Minneapolis

It's just a spaghetti warehouse. But is quite good food for the . Cool interior design with an old brick town feel at the place. The service was very good. Great place, expected a waiting list on a Friday night, but was set immediately. Eat, really good! Came with fresh bread directly from the oven. Soup or salad and spumoni ice cream for dessert comes with your meal. It is NOT all you can eat, nor do they have a salad bar. All a good family restaurant.

The food wasn't anything all too special and it was overpriced. The building and decor was absolutely stunning, from the stained glass, to the exposed beams, to the gorgeous Victorian furniture and light fixtures. The gluten free friendly options were nice. The dinner included bread/salad, entree and dessert. The staff seemed to hurry us through our meal and our waiter seemed a little indifferent. Overall, the experience was nothing to phone home about...

Beautiful building. Food was meh (for me never loved this chain) but my companions enjoyed their meal. Spumoni ice cream is excellent though!

The food wasn't original or hand prepared as I'd expect from such a fancy and upper-scale looking restaurant. Great atmosphere, great interior, friendly staff, but my side salad being overdressed and my food lukewarm was a huge downer. Wife was unimpressed with the fresh set of silverware having some food still stuck on it. The highlight was the meal including dessert, which saved the occasion. With a really meh set of food, I have to swipe three stars off the score. Wish I could have given it a 2.5, but it is what it is.

A friend of mine recommended I eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory because their spaghetti is supposed to be amazing. When I checked out the menu I noticed they had crab meat ravioli and I am a sucker for seafood. It came with a soup and full loaf if bread for $16.50. It was nasty and that is why I am giving this place a poor review. The crab ravioli was entirely too sweet as in they may use sugar. I expected it to be rich and it wasn't. I also had ordered as take out so maybe that is why the quality was poor. I also ordered a side of calamari which made my bill around $27. I just feel like I could have ate somewhere else better for that price. I may go back and order the spaghetti but that crab ravioli left a bad taste in my mouth literally and figuratively.
