The Old Spaghetti Factory

Mizithra Cheese and Browned Butter

Spaghetti tossed in deeply nutty clarified browned butter with sharp, salty mizithra — the chain's one truly distinctive dish and the only reason to choose it over a generic Italian joint

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Classic, slow-simmered meat sauce over spaghetti — the crowd-pleaser that defines the menu and comes with the full complete dinner package

Baked Lasagna

Layered pasta with ricotta, meat, and mozzarella, baked until the edges crisp — hearty and filling, though not particularly refined

Chicken Marsala

Sautéed chicken breast in a mushroom-Marsala wine sauce — reliably decent but not a reason to make the trip on its own

Minestrone Soup

Hearty vegetable and bean soup served as part of the complete dinner — a genuinely good starter that warms up the meal

Spumoni Ice Cream

The classic three-flavor Italian ice cream that closes every complete dinner — a nostalgic touch kids love

Clam Chowder

Creamy New England-style chowder available as a starter — serviceable but not a standout compared to the minestrone
