We visited The Old Spaghetti Factory and it turned out to be such a wholesome, value-packed dining experience.
We ordered a classic spaghetti (totally forgot the exact name, but it was rich, saucy, and perfectly al dente), the Tuscan Lasagna, and a veg pasta — and everything was genuinely delicious. The spaghetti had that comforting, traditional flavour. The Tuscan lasagna was cheesy, layered beautifully, and very satisfying without feeling too heavy. The veg pasta was simple, fresh, and enjoyable — a solid option if you’re looking for something lighter.
For drinks, we tried the Bahama Mama and the Twilight cocktail. Personally, I preferred the Bahama Mama — it was more fruity and refreshing, and of course the Malibu hits just right. The Twilight was smooth and good, but the Bahama Mama definitely stood out for me.
What really makes this place special is the value. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering everything you get. Our meal included complimentary warm bread with garlic butter (so good), fresh Esplanade salad, clam chowder soup, and their signature triple-flavoured ice cream for dessert — which is included for everyone. We did have to wait a bit, but they even offered complimentary food while we were waiting, which was a nice touch.
Shoutout to our server, Gary — smooth, professional, and extremely friendly. Superb customer service that made the whole experience even better. Also, the washrooms were very clean, which always adds to a positive dining experience.
Overall, great food, good portions, fair prices, and excellent service. Definitely a cozy spot for dinner with friends or family. We’d happily come back again.

Came here as a group of four and were seated right away. Their are a few pasta options to choose from. I love the idea of the soup/salad, ice cream, and tea/coffee coming with your meals. It makes for a great experience! The atmosphere is amazing, so many spots for pictures. The food was okay. The service was the best part, our server was so sweet. The food came quick and we left full and satisfied!

If you enjoy exploring places with hidden details, I recommend trying this restaurant. It has a very warm and interesting atmosphere with surprising design elements. The food is okay but could be better overall. The pastas were good, but I really didn’t like the Caesar salad. At the end, they give you a free ice cream, which is the cherry on top Worth trying at least once. (The wait time might be long in weekends)

I think a 4.4 star rating suits this restaurant best. The restaurant was super crowded in regular seating even at 9pm! I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, as it was very vintage and looked beautiful. The service was 5 stars (4.6 but it rounds up) because the waiter was very kind. Although he forgot to refill our water I still think he deserves a 5 stars for his service. Finally, the food was pretty good but not the best, so it will be receiving a 4 stars. The chicken fettuccine alfredo was great and very creamy, and the lasagna was alright. Ice cream came after the meal, which tasted quite good.

What a great spot for a well curated dinner at a reasonable price. This spot not just looks amazing but has such a great atmosphere. You can come in huge groups or even as a date. They have really unique seating areas & a unique menu. The food was decently made and they give you huge portions. You pay a fixed price for your appetizer, main course, and dessert which is ice cream and it comes with a choice of coffee or tea. They have many drinks as well. This is great for kids too! Definitely visit if you haven’t already!

I’ll start by saying that I enjoyed all the food I had, I ordered the chicken parm which I enjoyed. The service on the other hand was quite disappointing. Once we were seated it took about 10 minutes to be greeted by our server. Once my party placed our orders, the server forgot one of my party members drinks, which did not bother us. Our salad and meals came out fairly quick. Our appetizer and bread on the other hand came towards the end of the meal. We noticed our server did not visit our table for a while, she seemed busy attending to her other tables, we had to ask another server to follow up with our appetizer and bread (something I usually would not do). When our server dropped off our pastas she asked if we would like cheese which we said yes to, our server never returned with the cheese – we had to ask another server as well. It was quite frustrating as we noticed her other tables seemed to be getting attended to much more than ours. At the end of the meal we ordered ice cream, I requested the chocolate, our server ended up bringing the wrong flavour, which I ended up enjoying so I did not find issue with that. With all that said our server had a positive attitude, was not rude, but the level of service we received was quite negative. I considered not leaving a tip because my part and I were not happy with the service, but as someone who worked in the industry, I felt bad for the server and decided to leave a tip. Food and atmosphere was enjoyable but due to the service, I don’t think I’ll be visiting this location again.

What an amazing experience we had! we started with delicious ministroni soup. The Lasagna and spaghetti was delicious. Thank you so much Ammanuel for the service. The service of Ammanuel and everyone from the counter is amazing. Surely, we will come back soon. Unfortunate that it is only one branch.

Amazing place with great food. It is always a pleasure visiting the old spaghetti factory. They have a variety of vegetarian options. The homemade bread is delicious and you can ask again for free. The ‘it’s all included’ has great options and the overall food is great.
The salad is a must try along with spumoni ice cream. We have also enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. The service is great with a very happy and lively ambience.
This place is definitely worth a try.

This was my very first time coming here to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory (I was recommended by a friend) and I absolutely LOVED my entire experience from start to finish!! The staff were very friendly and communicative and the entire atmosphere was incredibly vibrant and amazing, truly felt like I was transported to a magical place. The bread was so so delicious, I was in love with the garlic butter spread that came with it. I also loved how the menu design looked like a newspaper. There were so many great options but I decided to settle with the Factory Ravioli. I love how you can get so many items of food included with your entree dish while also having the option to pick what you like (I’m more of a tea person over coffee for example, and the restaurant came with a bunch of different options for tea). The soup was nice and made for a nutritious appetizer! The toppings and sauce that came with the Factory Ravioli was super creamy and tasty. Portion size was huge too (I was so stuffed after having the main dish!!!), making it a very filling meal. The Spumoni ice cream was fantastic too! The dish had multiple scoops of the ice cream and was soft and cold at the same time! I really enjoyed the sequence of the entire meal (bread, then soup, then main dish, then ice cream, and then tea to wash it all down) and found that for the amount of food AND the high quality of the food in terms of aesthetics and taste, it was very much worth it and I really got a lot of bang for my buck! This was a wonderful way to spend a night on a solo date and I will definitely be telling everyone around me about how amazing this place is. I will also be 1000% visiting to eat here again. My waiter Michael was very lovely and kind to me all throughout the night. I also didn’t have to wait very long (only 5 mins) after checking in with my reservation. Overall, I’d give this basically a 10/10 experience all around! Super happy with how everything turned out (also, super full from the food!)
