I went to the Chateau in Waltham a lot as a kid, though I don't recall it clearly. And I've been to the one in Andover and been underwhelmed. (It was also a bit pricier than you'd expect.) Vinny Testa's seemed worthless: the portions were a cup of sauce on a pound of pasta.
When I want good, cheap, old-fashioned Italian American, I go to Kittys on Rte 28 @ Rte 62 in North Reading. The sausages are awesome, the portions huge, the prices reasonable, the waitstaff just what you'd expect, and the pizza isn't why you're there. I often get a fettucini alfredo appetizer, and it's a meal.
