This is the place to celebrate anything. So many extras including a signed card, dessert and a champagne /Martinelli’s toast at the end of your meal. All this in addition to a fabulous menu. I love the Stockpot and it’s so nice to see it’s remained a top-notch dining experience.

Fantastic as always! It’s the atmosphere (feels like away on vacation) …the food, the portions, the pricing - and for my wife - Margaritas. At least West side Portland Metro, this has become the only dining out experience for Mexican food for us. Thank you!

About the restaurant

Dining at The Old Spaghetti Factory is an experience. For decades, they have invested meticulous attention to their unique designs and authentic vintage décor. Every location is adorned with antique lighting, intricate stained glass displays, large colorful booths, and an old-fashioned trolley car for guests to dine in. It’s the perfect atmosphere for a family celebration, a large group event, or a special dinner date.

A family business since 1969, their founding philosophy — “a memorable dining experience doesn’t have to cost a lot of money” — is perhaps more relevant now than ever. Every entree is a "complete meal," served with hot freshly-baked sourdough bread, soup or salad, and ice cream for dessert at no extra charge.
