    Shrimp appetizer

    The food was tasty. We sat outside for dinner and a show. Waitress was nice and on top of the order!

    Reasonable prices and good food! Some of the best service in Salem with welcoming and funny servers and management

    Best sauce on a pizza I've ever had! Delicious veggie pizza!

    Nasty why did the chicken Alfredo have green onions in it. And the sauce was so runny they wouldn't stick to the noodles. Won't go back.

    Sooooo impressed with their "cook at home" meal kits. LOOK AT THE INGREDIENTS! I'm an amazing chef…read moreand was expecting a tub of sauce and pre cooked pasta and chicken. Instead I got: White wine, cream, vegetable broth, pancetta, tons of sun dried tomatos, raw chopped garlic, raw chicken, beautiful uncooked pasta. All in perfectly prepped and weighed serving bags. It served 6 at least! Not 4. :) 10/10!!!!!!!

    Disappointing Experience…read more I really wanted to enjoy our visit to Gambretti in Salem, especially since I remember the great food and service from their old location. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to those memories. The ambiance is definitely the highlight--it's a beautiful and inviting restaurant. However, the food and service left quite a bit to be desired. Our entrée needed additional seasoning, and one of my favorite wines from Willamette Valley was served in a water glass, which was disappointing for what is supposed to be a nice dining experience. It seems that the restaurant had only one server covering the entire restaurant, and she did an excellent job given the circumstances. She was attentive and did her best, but the overall service simply wasn't what I remember from Gambretti's old location. I hope this was just an off night because I'd really like to see Gambretti return to the level of food and service that made it memorable in the first place

We had the beet salad to start which was just perfect. The truffle burrata mousse was something I've never had before and it added a light creaminess to the dish. My friend had the pasta de la nonna and I had the special of the night. The pasta de la nonna was delicious, flavorful, and the noodles were something I've never fresh! It was more than just a red sauce. My ravioli was filled with something delicious (I wish I could remember now lol what it was). We had tiramisu for dessert since it was her birthday. Service was lovely. Great find on vacation!

Gnocchi was killer and the pizza was pretty good. The service was absolutely meh. We watched a table seated after us get drinks and salads before we even gave our drink order, and they got their meals before we ordered. We were pretty excited to order and stoked for the food here, so the meh service was really a bummer. We also were seated in the back, and it was really hot in that room. If I had it to do over again, I'd request the restaurant area up front. Overall, we'd go back to give it another go. But there was room for improvement for sure.

    We were going out for my birthday dinner so I had high expectations. I was not disappointed at all!…read moreWe were greeted and sat down immediately. Delicia or D, as she wanted to be called, was our server. She was friendly, helpful and made great suggestions for our order. All 4 of our family members were very satisfied with the menu selections we received. The food was delicious and cooked exactly the way we ordered it. After dinner, they was a problem with my rewards. She took it to the manager who solved the issue and corrected the final check. We called over the manager to tell her how wonderful D was and how great our experience was. We will definitely be back!

    My family and I stopped by The Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The…read morerestaurant was super empty when we arrived, but looking around, the restaurant also seemed short-staffed. I've visited a number of Old Spaghetti Factory locations in California before, so I'm well familiar with the lunch menu. The loaf of bread that arrived on our table after we placed our order was piping hot. It was actually so hot, it was difficult to pick up and cut. There's no doubt that this bread is as fresh as it gets. The minestrone soup I opted for with my entree was filled to the brim and packed with a variety of veggies. If you're looking to cut some calories, you'll definitely want to go with the soup over one of their heavily dressed salads. My wife and I actually split their manager's favorite with meat sauce and mizithra cheese. We opted to up-size to a hearty portion for $4.99, which comes with extra sauce and noodles. The spaghetti was well cooked in terms of texture, but could have been drained a bit better. The meat sauce had a bunch of ground beef in it, and the mizithra cheese was salty, nutty, and tangy. If this is your first time visiting an Old Spaghetti Factory location, I highly recommend trying out the mizithra cheese because I have not see this option offered anywhere else. I regret to report that one dish our party ordered was completely dropped. It was difficult to flag down our server to inform them of the issue, so we ended up having to run around the restaurant to find a staff member. We ended up waiting close to 15 more minutes for the last dish to be prepared, at which point all the food that had been delivered earlier had dropped to being room temperature. Overall, it was a mixed meal. Service was somewhat lacking, and food was pretty standard as far as Old Spaghetti Factory locations.

You seat yourself and the waitress will come with menus. First off, to the management here, can I just say that you folks need to get more help for the older Caucasian woman that helped us today. She was the nicest lady, taking orders and doing the main cashiering duties AND also servicing the main restaurant! She was bussing all the tables as well. She was never flustered or seemed irritated either. She was working hard and she deserves a hug pay raise. Food was typical comfort Italian food. Plentiful and full of flavor.

We waited for around 10 minutes. 5. -10 minute wait is nothing usually but here's the kicker... We saw multiple people going back and forth right in front of us. Zero greeting, zero acknowledgment of our presence. The sign clearly said to order at the front before being seated. No one cared. We had the menu and were ready. Super weird that no one even said welcome or we will be right with you. The ambience was---- behind the swinging doors that we never made it past! We were so excited to try this place. We left and went to a different Italian restaurant where the food was great.

I especially love supporting a family business with such a long history in the community. We stopped in mid-afternoon, which meant we were able to take advantage of their lunch pricing. I also special-ordered a creamy espresso martini--something they don't typically make--and they were happy to accommodate me. It was delicious! They started us with bread and a fantastic garlic butter that was hard to stop eating. The minestrone soup was just okay, but the deep-dish pizza was fantastic--definitely a highlight! We also tried the lunch combo with tortellini and chicken and mushroom linguini. Both were good, although neither had us completely over the moon. That said, the service was excellent, which always makes a dining experience even better. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would absolutely return. Great atmosphere, friendly service, delicious pizza, and a family-owned history worth supporting.

    A noticeable decline at Marco Polo Global Restaurant…read more It is with genuine disappointment that I share how significantly Marco Polo Global Restaurant has changed--and not for the better. Having been a loyal patron for years, I was unaware that the restaurant had undergone an ownership change approximately one year ago. Unfortunately, the shift in management has been accompanied by a marked decline in both service and food quality. Service Concerns Table service fell well below expectations. Our server did not introduce herself, nor did she demonstrate any gestures of hospitality throughout the meal. Twice, plates were handed to us stacked, leaving the guests to distribute them ourselves--an approach inconsistent with professional table service. Water glasses were never refilled, and there was a general lack of attentiveness to our table. Menu Changes The menu has been reduced to a simple two‑sided laminated sheet, a stark departure from the former Marco Polo menu that once offered an impressive variety of thoughtfully curated dishes. Food Quality The food, regrettably, did not meet even basic standards: Singapore Noodles: The most disappointing dish of the evening. I shared my feedback with the server, who later reported that the cook had not seasoned it properly and offered to remake it. We declined. Salad Rolls: Flavorless, with a peanut sauce that was thin, cold, and lacking depth. Broccoli with Tofu: The broccoli was overcooked, wilted, and visually unappealing. The dish was marginal at best. Green Beans with Garlic: Cooked adequately, but lacking seasoning and overall flavor. Vegan Pot-stickers: The one bright spot--excellent texture, well‑prepared, and accompanied by a flavorful sauce. Overall Atmosphere The ambiance felt tired, and the restaurant appears to have lost the vitality and care that once made it a thriving local favorite. Based on our experience, it seems clear that both the kitchen and front‑of‑house staff would benefit from renewed training and leadership. Our server confirmed that the business changed hands about a year ago, and unfortunately, the decline is evident in nearly every aspect of the dining experience. We will not be returning, and it saddens me to say so--Marco Polo was once a beloved establishment in the community.
