The Old Spaghetti Factory is an Italian-style restaurant currently operating in 38 locations in several U.S. States, primarily Oregon, Washington, California and Utah.^[1] In addition to its US locations, The Old Spaghetti Factory has restaurants in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. There are a total of 13 locations in Canada,^{[citation needed]} as well as locations in Japan (including Nagoya, Kobe, and Kawagoe, Saitama).^{[citation needed]}

The chain was started on January 10, 1969 by Guss Dussin in Portland, Oregon. Some restaurant locations have been in older warehouse and historic locations. The restaurant decor features antiques, including chandeliers, brass headboards, and footboards at bench backs for booths. Each restaurant's most prominent decor feature is a streetcar in the middle of the restaurant with seating inside.^[2] The Old Spaghetti Factory is very similar in concept to Spaghetti Warehouse, though Spaghetti Warehouse was started three years later in Texas.
