Old Spaghetti Factory Lynnwood

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.

Been twice in the last couple of months and had a pleasant experience each time. Decor is typical (cute) for an Old Spaghetti Factory. Lots of seating, although not enough servers - there was a 20-30 minute wait both times but plenty of available tables. That said, the guy at the bar was friendly and knowledgeable while we waited. Despite other reviews I see here, our food was prompt, warm, and tasted fine. A bit light on spices/flavor, but acceptable. And while the meal costs a bit more than average for the area, you also get a sizable salad (or small soup) first and an ice cream or spumoni at the end, plus the complimentary bread. (Cheesy bread with marinara is also good). Comfortable waiting area, clean bathrooms, large parking lot, nice servers.
