The Old Spaghetti Factory, located minutes from the ocean, is a restaurant the whole family can enjoy. They serve spaghetti (obviously) and for desert, you get a choice of vanilla or spumoni at no extra cost. The problem with this Old Spaghetti Factory is the location. Because this place is located in Newport Beach, you either have to valet park or find street parking along W. Balboa Avenue. I've walked as far as half a mile just to eat here because we wanted to avoid the valet parking. In addition to the parking woes, expect to wait 45 minutes to over an hour to get seated during the weekends (Friday and Saturday nights). I don't particular enjoy paying $8-$10 for cheap spaghetti but I prefer Old Spaghetti Factory over Olive Garden any day of the week.
