“ We visited The Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown and really enjoyed our meal. We had the linguine with clams and the classic spaghetti with meatballs — both were tasty, comforting, and just what we were craving. The restaurant had a nostalgic vibe and the service was warm and friendly. Great spot for a casual and satisfying pasta lunch or dinner in Gastown! ”
“ The service is amazing all the servers are great and they make you feel really comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious, the lasagna has a great flavor and if you want they add more cheese on top. The dishes came with a delicious bread, soup that was really good and also with ice cream. The baby back ribs were so tender and delicious!! The place is really nice and the prices are so good. I highly recommend this restaurant ”
“ Great service. Clean and beautiful place The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly and a tasty spaghetti to go with. The salads were very good. The ice cream at the end was delicious too. Great value for money ”
“ I had a great experience at this Italian restaurant! The portions were huge, and everything was absolutely delicious. The interior design is very interesting and adds to the cozy atmosphere. At the beginning of the meal, they serve you a warm, freshly baked bun with herbed butter — a really nice touch. And at the end, they even treat you to some ice cream! I left completely stuffed. Highly recommend! ”
“ Great service, atmosphere, food and pricing. They have an all-included meal option that comes with soup or salad, entree, drink, and dessert for a pretty reasonable price given location. Food was great too. I got the clam linguine. Oh and the garlic butter that comes with the bread!! Would recommend stopping by! ”
“ Came in expecting great pasta, but the New York steak totally surprised me — absolutely delicious! The place has a warm, old-world vibe and the service was excellent. Will definitely come back! ”
“ A lovely and authentic Italian restaurant with a cozy vibe. They offer a good range of options for vegetarians, which is always appreciated. I went with their all-inclusive meal option that comes with a soup or salad, an entree, and ice cream — great value overall. I had the Tortellini Pomodoro (cheese-stuffed pasta in tomato sauce), and it was delicious. The place is reasonably expensive, but the quality and portion sizes make it worth it. Would definitely recommend for anyone craving a classic Italian meal. ”
“ I visited The Old Spaghetti Factory in Downtown Vancouver (I've also been to their New West location!), and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant is spacious and cozy, with a warm, vintage vibe-perfect for family dinners or casual hangouts. Reservations are a good idea (it gets busy!), but even without one, the staff seated us quickly. The service was friendly and efficient-no long waits! The best part? Every meal includes three courses: a fresh starter (I loved the crispy sourdough bread and salad), a hearty main dish, and a sweet dessert.! ”
