Dear friend Nan McGinnis treated Tom to a meal at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Fairfield yesterday. We arrived just as they opened at 4:30 PM.
We've been there several times and always enjoy the atmosphere. We had a waiter this time who was exceptional.
Fresh yeasty bread is served before the meal (and we asked for a second "loaf", too). It's delicious with the soft butter.
It seems odd to me that a spaghetti place wouldn't have Italian dressing - but they don't. Tom and Nan got a specialty pesto dressing but I opted for a standard French (shown).
Tom and Nan ordered Garlic Mizithra but since it comes with bacon it was off-limits to me. Both said it was a bit on the salty side.
I opted for Fettucine Alfredo. The sauce is silky smooth but the calories for this dish are listed at 1090. That's going to mean some extra laps this week.
The meal ends with a palate cleanser: spumoni ice cream. It's a small amount but about all a body can handle after a big meal.
Here's Tom and I on his 66th birthday.
