The Old Spaghetti Factory: Seed-Oil Heavy Chain Italian

Nostalgia chain that serves up huge portions drowning in industrial oils while charging family prices.

July 25, 2026 About The Old Spaghetti Factory

Default pastas swim in soybean and canola — ask for olive oil on the side.

The Take

The Old Spaghetti Factory clocks a 71 Slop Score as standard chain Italian loaded with seed-oil pastas and oversized plates. Grilled chicken or meatballs with marinara plus a side salad cuts the damage while keeping costs low.

The Verdict

Stick to the scan card based order and skip the bread basket. Any alfredo, carbonara, or fried items turn the meal into seed oil city.

The Old Spaghetti Factory delivers 71 Slop Score value only when you customize hard or split with others.
