The Old Spaghetti Factory - Corvallis

The Old Spaghetti Factory has been a personal favorite of me since the 1970s. Confidential flavors bring me back to numerous family dinners over the years. The spumoni ice cream dessert is the best finish IMHO. This location has plenty of parking toilet and ToGo spots are at the front. The footprint seems smaller than the John's Landing location, but it is first with familiar decor and beautiful kitchen odours. The staff is friendly and attentive. We're coming back!

Our friends shared that was their favorite restaurant, so we drove from Eugene to eat there and celebrate our friends birthdays. The appetizers and salads were good, but the main course was disappointing for my husband and me. My husband? Chickens Alfredo was quite salty, but no other real taste. I ordered the pasta with brown butter sauce, but it was extremely dry and difficult to eat. I took most of them home and made my own brown butter sauce and it was better. The servers did a good job singing? Happy Birthday and our server, Isaiah, did a good job. He was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the facility and sit in a sunny place. Seats not very comfortable for my husband. I don't think we're going back there because we have big Italian restaurants where we live. But it was a good time, overall.

I was hoping for the flavor experience of the Eugene, Oregon back in the day's Spaghetti Warehouse. Well, sadly it wasn't even close. The servings were smallish for almost $20 per plate. The Manager Brandon was super nice. He did offer to give us the Garlic Cheese Bread for free. This came about because the server had no clue how the app worked. She also kept saying if I downloaded the app longer than 24 hours ago, then the Garlic Cheese Bread is free, but that she didn't know how the app truly worked. Since she didn't have a clue, she went got the Manager, Brandon. He looked at my phone repeated what she said, about the 24 hour rule. I explained that I had downloaded the app in January that this was my first visit. He said he wasnt sure then why the downloaded app wasn't allowing me to see the first reward of free Garlic Cheese Bread, so he gave it to us for free. I noticed as we sat, that a piece of my silverware; a spoon, had some dried food schmootz on it, so I set it to the side, yuckie. The Garlic Cheese Bread came with Marinara sauce. I normally hate Marinara sauce, but this was super nice, very fresh tomatoey, instead of heavy on the Italian spices, which for me is a total turn off, when the spices override the flavor. The Marinara sauce paired very well with the Garlic Cheese Bread the amount of pieces was a good amount. Our Salads were literally drenched floating in water, what in the world is that about? Our server was not very adept, quite forgetful, spaced out not observant. We were not impressed with her skills, but she had a nice smile she was pleasant. My dining partner ordered the Meat Lover's Treat he said he wouldn't order it again. He said there wasn't enough sauce on it the Spaghetti Noodles that they were dried out. He said, the Italian Sausage link was good however so were his 2 Meatballs. I ordered the Manager's Favorite. My half half choices were Mizithra Cheese with Browned Butter Rich Meat Sauce. I agree with my dining partner, the Noodles were dried out the sauce was skimpy. There was a ton of browned butter pooled on the bottom of the dish, underneath my dry noodles but, a very small amount of the Mizithra Cheese was grated on top. I was truly hoping for the Naked Spaghetti I used to get at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Eugene years ago. It was a large amount of creamy shredded cheese like Monterey Jack, with a bit of browned butter. It was always fantastic the noodles were never dried out. It was also piping hot, which mine here was not. We had a very hard time getting our servers attention when we did, she kept forgetting in one minute what she needed to bring us, then she had to go redo the receipt because we were charged for the Garlic Cheese Bread. The Restaurant itself is beautiful, I loved the decor. Now, in typing this, we sadly have discovered we cannot rack up the points on the app for the money we spent, for the rewards, due to the fact that you're supposed to scan or

Great food, great prices, fun decor. My choice for Italian family dining in Corvallis. I recommend the Spaghetti Vesuvius. Plenty of free parking.

If you want an authentic Italian restaurant dinner . This is the place ! Ask for Oliver ! Hands down a scholar and gentleman. Very attentive. Super fast ! And best of all food is delicious!
