“ A side of parmigiana chicken is 7.50 their bread is free. Instant cheap sandwich. But my kids love this space for the soup or salad and dessert that comes with the entrees. Their lunch specials are great deals. Bread always comes out piping hot . Their mizithra cheese broccoli is a great addition to any meal with plenty to share . Make reservations . Great for large groups . ”
“ My mother and I attended a seminar at The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Marcos, where dinner was included. I went with the lasagna and mom tried Chicken Marsala for the first time. She wanted me to try her wine sauce and kept telling me it was out of this world! I’ll just have to return another day and try it for myself! Food and service were spectacular! This mom and pop grew to several locations, but didn’t lose their old world recipe perfection for Italian cuisine. The interior is cute as can be, and if you go once, you will return.... Just like us! ”

“ While I didn't see any factory production equipment, I did see a beautiful interior, great service, good food, good portions and a nice time. Reasonable prices. Very clean. An exceptional value. Though from outside you'd never guess it's so nice inside. ”
“ Got too caught up in reuniting with some long time friends to take photos. With our excitement of catching up with friends we took a while to study the menu, our server was very patient & pleasant. Food was good but was on the colder side of warm. Didn’t get any of the delicious bread till we asked and received after the entrees were half done. Hate to be a little critical because we did enjoy the evening and will undoubtedly return some day. ”
“ Hands down, absolutely amazing. From the atmosphere and service, straight to the food! I absolutely love the decor and the vibe of the place. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. They have very nice side rooms you can reserve too. The food was absolutely scrumptious. There wasn't one thing I didn't like. I'd eat here weekly if I were closer. Definitely, definitely recommend. ”
