Old Spaghetti Factory (Richmond)

Friends decided to go to Old Spaghetti Factory after a few games of bowling next door, I was pretty hungry after all that exercise. I have been to Old Spaghetti Factory before, but not in a few years. Our large group was seated quickly, and the service was attentive. I noticed they had a antique weight scale at the entrance that actually works, very interesting to have a weight scale in a restaurant haha

The newspaper-style paper menu had many many choices, and it took me a while to pick. Here's what I decided to go with. The entree also came with bread and ice cream.


Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo $13.50     4/5
A creamy creation with shrimp, scallops and mushroom sauteed with fresh spinach and egg fettuccine noodles and Alfredo sauce

+

• Very thick Alfredo sauce and taste
• Fresh seafood
• Not too salty
• Noodles were thick and texture was not too soft or hard

-

• It just didn't taste very exceptional, I don't know how to explain, but it tasted really standard, which is why I gave it only a 4/5
• Not enough seafood

Clam Chowder (Minestrone Soup is free, but I substituted for Clam Chowder) $2.25     4/5

+

• Very very thick
• Lots of fresh clams
• Not too salty, unlike the "famous" clam chowder I had at Pike Place Market in Seattle which I thought was overrated

-

• Could have came a little hotter

Overall: Old Spaghetti Factory delivers good food for the price. I would not mind being back.
