Your Old Spaghetti Factory must have been much better than ours (Denver). I
went two different times many years ago (probably 25 or more) and was of the
opinion that they served lots of bad sauces over spaghetti. My comment even
then was that I could feed a whole crowd at home for what a meal cost at
OSF. We never went back.
