This is a very old restaurant and there is a worn look about it, but the food is pretty resonably priced and it is pretty good. It smells of smoke becuase on one end is the bar and the smoke just kind of permiates the whole restaurant.
This is the best food ever, There Crab Puffs are the very best and the egg rolls are wonderful. I would say if you like American style chinesse food you wont find a better place to dine. Nothing fancy just GREAT Food. I have been eating here since I was born as well.
I had a very bad experience at il piatto with a large group, None of our food came out a the same time, and half of it was wrong when it did come out. The tomatoes in my pasta tasted moldy, my wife found blue mold on her prosciutto, there was a lasagna that looked like it had been in a microwave al...
I had an amazing dining experience. The food is truely incredible.
Very innovative, highly creative menu.
Service was casual but professional. Wait staff was very knowledgable about their extensive wine list.

i think that old spaghetti factory is the best restaurant that i have ever beeing into. and thanks for thr good service. and as for the chief he or she is good cook too. as for the rest of the employees they are nice too.
So far the best place I've ever eaten at. Very intimate feeling. Beautiful food! I highly recommend!!
Paley's Place is a true "dining experience" from the excellent food, to the ambiance (particularly eating on the porch), to the wait staff. I have taken out of town company, and they wanted to go back the next night! Wait staff also honored my request to make sure I got the check but unobtrusively s...
Hello, I have been going here since I was, well, born. It is great food and excellent service. I still see the same faces as I did when I was little. I will say thought, it is definently a local's only place. It doesn't appear to be much but the food is, well, the best.
See you there....
Reasonably good food, but certainly overrated in my opinion . . . steaks are good but not excellent . . . pricing is too high . . . overall, good choice, not great, too high a price . . .
Dirty food quality poor
My husband and I enjoyed our appetizers, New England Chowder (in a bread bowl) and Lobster Flourentine Soup--both were simply fabulous and bursting with flavor! For our entrees, we had the Boothbay Seafood Penne and the foot-long Lobster Roll; both were tasty as well. The Boothbay dish had plenty of...
Fabulous, carefully crafted food. Service is uneven. Typical Pearl district look and feel.
Excellent!! Great food and great staff!
For many years this has been the old school place for steak in Portland. The interior is dark and woody with vintage 50's character without being kitchy. People boast of the Ringside's onion rings and a terrific late-night happy hour in the cozy bar.
This was a favorite of our family. Had the old kid size (horse) saddle seats at kids tables from the restaurant building's past. Loved the teriyaki the service and sauce...
This restaurant building has been redone and is another place now.... We miss our "old" Kokiyo!
The duck was excellent. The wine was a nice surprise (it was affordable).
I've eaten at Campbells two different times I rarely give a place a second chance to impress me and the second time I tried it, continued to be unimpressed.
During both visits, I experienced the most rudest attidude from the waiter/counter attendant, as if they didn't care I was spending my money...
they need better service and not rely so much on name recognition. overall it was not a pleasant experience for the price.
Wonderful! They're open now on Thurs-Sat until 9:00 now, serving wine and beer (you should try the Peroni!). Outside seating and great paninis! A cool place.
