"I've loved the speghetti factory for years! Since I was a teen. Back in the day, they knew how to cook speghetti. Now, it is subpar. Don't even bother unless you can't boil water at home. The speghetti was so wet and overcooked. I ordered the garlic mizathra, and it's my favorite. The first thing I always do is mix it all up to get the garlic and cheese everywhere, not just on top, and right away, I notice the water under my noodles. What? Didn't even dry off the noodles. Used to be cooked noodles, then tossed with the browned butter in a pan before plating. I guess the new way (well, not guess because they told me. Is to precook the speghetti in large batches warm it up and pour a little butter on the top, which has also been pre browned and placed in a large container and placed in the fridge. Since when do you have to pre cook speghetti. 6 minutes is all it takes to get it aldente. 6! They offered a reduced price and a re cook. But I refused. Gone are the good days of decently cooked speghetti and browned butter. The salad was alright with the pesto sauce asked for extra sauce. The table spoon drizzled wasn't enough initially. Tried the soup it was alright. The server was great... very chatty. 5 people came to Mt table to explain how the speghetti was cooked. I took it home to cook it correctly myself. I know how to brown the butter and toss the noodles to dry it out a little bit. Never again will I go back to the factory for underwhelming but fairly edible speghetti."
