The Old Spaghetti Factory
Summary
Would we go there again: Yes
Good Italian food, and worth going if only for their specialty dish, the Spaghetti with Mizithra Cheese. Yum! A good place to go once in a while, especially good for group outings. Good food at a good price.

Tim's Comments: I really just can't help myself. Pretty much every time I go here I order the same thing: Spaghetti w/ Browned Butter & Mizithra Cheese. It's just so delicious! And even though it doesn't look like that big of a serving when they bring it out to you, it's usually just enough to fill me up.
Jeni's Comments: The food was okay, but the salad wasn't very impressive. That's all I can remember (5 months after the fact).
