In Short – Whimsical antiques and decorative items--velvet armchairs, vintage-looking fringed lamps and booths made from iron bedsteads--fill the dining room. The OSF Classics menu offers spaghetti with a choice of mushroom sauce, rich meat sauce, browned butter and feta-like mizithra cheese sauce, and more. Other popular favorites are the baked lasagna--layers of noodles, tomato sauce and four kinds of cheese--and the fettuccine Alfredo. Meals include a green salad, fresh-baked bread and ice cream.

Closed?!?! (Try Miceli's)
by mccallbenn at Citysearch
We drove out for dinner, but it's closed. : (
I was really excited about going here, and we brought our 1 year old daughter with us - all of us were disappointed. We ended up not far away, at Miceli's. Great Italian and a live piano player. No Kid's menu, but the garlic and oil linguine was a winner with our child.
- Cons: Closed?!?!

Cheap food - long, long waits
by dolalola at Citysearch
While the food is not great, I have been going here for years to satisfy my spaghetti fix. The Mizithra Cheese and garlic bread are excellent. It?s cheap and consistent. It?s like the Tito?s of Italian food. Like Tito?s the wait is long. For reasons that I don?t understand, they never have enough servers. The restaurant can be half-empty and one will wait 30 ? 45 minutes every time. It?s a built in factor. Don?t go if you are starving. The management seams oblivious to fact that they have a dozen people waiting with 15 empty tables every time.

For families with kids only!

I was extremely disappointed with the food served here, after reading other reviews on this site (mixed) we thought we'd give it a go. I ordered spaghetti & meatballs, the sauce tasted like it came from a jar and the THREE meatballs were not cooked in the sauce, in hindsight maybe a good thing. My girlfriend ordered the lasagne, again, distinctly average & reminiscent of a tv dinner.
I was impressed with the didning room itself although am staggered to think someone might find such a large noisy space romantic.
The only people i would recommend this restaurant to are large families with small kids who want to be fed quickly & inexpensively, the meal was very cheap.
It's true to sayyou get what you pay for.
If you served any of this food to an Italian from Italy they would probably chase the chef down the street!
- Pros: cheap, family friendly
- Cons: food, food, food
