The Old Spaghetti Factory - Lynnwood

Not bad, we went a little later in the dinner service. So wait staff was a touch stretched. By all means did not feel not taken care of. We were quite happy that we got to dine in the trolley car for the first time. Yeah, we are kids at heart, but it was cool. Plenty of food, with a generous amount of left overs for lunch the next day.

Not bad, we went a little later in dinner service. Wait, the staff was a touch. In any case, it didn't feel taken care of. We were glad we had to feed in the car for the first time. Yeah, we're kids in the heart, but it was cool. A lot of food, with a generous amount of left overs for lunch the next day.

We were here for Father's Day, so we knew it could be busy. They gave 4 stars because they told us it was a 20-minute waiting time, and it turned out to be an hour. When we finally got a table, our server was beautiful and very attentive, although it was super busy! All four of us enjoyed our food. My daughter was thrilled to keep the glass from here Italian soda!

We were a little crammed at our table for two, but the chairs were comfortable. The venue was extremely busy with lots of families eating. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating, but I didn't feel the passion that I feel from other service people. The hot bread had a tough other shell but was hot and soft on the inside, and the butter had a nice and light garlic touch to it. We got the cheesy bread appetizer, which is so worth it for the price. It can easily feed four people, and the bread is soft and spongey. My wife got the blackberry long Island ice tea which she really enjoyed and my Shirley temple was above average. The minestrone soup had many different flavors which clashed at times, depending on what was on the spoon for any given bite. Also would have loved if they had ditalini in there or some other small pasta. The broth was strong, almost like a beefy flavor. In my opinion, too many beans but that may have just been for my personal serving. The entrees were good but not great for the price. My chicken Alfredo had small, cubed, pieces of chicken that were rather dry. I wish they served it either whole, or in slices and not tiny cubes. The Alfredo sauce was good but there wasn't too much of it. But the pasta was cooked perfectly. My wife got the classic spaghetti with mizethra and brown butter. Once again, pasta cooked perfectly and the taste was impressive for such a simple dish. For dessert I got spumoni and it was the first time I've had it ever. It was creamy, soft, and light. Had a touch of chocolate taste with sherbet.. So delicious! If you like Italian food you have to give this place a try for sure.

We had reservations for 5:15. We finally got food at 6:45. Pasta lacked sauce and was dry. My sister was served frozen salad mix. Water wasn't refilled. It was incredibly loud and overcrowded due to so many high school graduations. It was our first and last visit to this location. Food, service, atmosphere wasn't worth the $300 we spent here. The only positive was the bread was good and warm. There just wasn't enough of it once it was served 50 minutes after we got there!
