The Old Spaghetti Factory consistently delivers, and their new West location is no exception. We adored the warm atmosphere and were impressed by the excellent value offered by their All-Inclusive meal options. However, the real steals were the succulent mussels for under $11 and the half-liter of house wine for under $14 – the perfect finishing touches to an already outstanding dining experience!

Hands down our favorite place to eat out when we want a great meal. I have been to other locations but this is definitely my first choice. Great food at a reasonable price. They always treat us well and reserving a table is easy to do.

The Old Spaghetti Factory in New Westminster has been an integral part of our family’s journey for over 45 years, serving as the backdrop for countless celebrations. So, when my grandmother was asked where she wanted to mark her 101st birthday, there was no hesitation—she chose the New West Old Spaghetti Factory. Owner Clinton and his incredible team went above and beyond to make this milestone truly unforgettable. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout the evening, every detail was perfect. The food, as always, was delicious—comforting, consistent, and just as we remembered from so many special occasions. What stood out most was the genuine care and attentiveness of Clinton and the staff. They made my grandmother feel celebrated and cherished, which means more to us than words can express. Thank you, Clinton, and the entire team for creating yet another beautiful memory for our family. We look forward to many more celebrations with you in the years to come.

I love the food and atmosphere. Food tastes very good and authentic, I love how they serve soup or salad with mains and you get an ice cream at the end. The bread and butter at start tastes very good

If you like the vintage ambience, you will not disappointed. All the decorations, the train, lighting, antique tables and chairs are so attractive. The food are much better than what we expected. All the meals are all inclusive. One dish includes a warm medium bread with garlic butter, soup or salad, tea or coffee and ice-cream in one very reasonable price. The prices are really reasonable for the food quality. The streamed one pound mussel is only $10.95 and the quality and portion are good. All the food come out fresh and hot. Our server is friendly and helpful. They also offer happy hour. The prices are more reasonable too!

High on a hill in New West is a very prominent beige, brick and green building, home to The Old Spaghetti Factory, a family friendly restaurant famous for their "it's all included" slogan. I've been eating here for years and the food has remained relatively the same throughout. Pasta is their mainstay and they have heaps of it paired with a litany of sauces. Appetizers aplenty and drinks galore round out a very robust menu so there is no way that you will leave hungry. As if that wasn't enough incentive to visit, I can vouch for the astounding efficiency of the servers. Literally just as soon as you place your order, that's how fast your meal is delivered. A quick succession of drinks, followed by your soup or salad and then very shortly afterwards, your main meal. And of course, the most important thing: The food is filling and delicious, and the prices are by far some of the cheapest around. In an age where price gouging has become the norm, it is so refreshing to see that some places aren't out for your money, and instead are more concerned with customer satisfaction. I assure you, the experience at Old Spaghetti Factory will never get "old".

Your typical Old Spaghetti Factory here, and it’s quite delicious! They have some nice portion sizes, especially since a soup and bread is included with their pastas. We also got their peach Bellini, which was very well made. I highly recommend their shrimps also :)

‏Old Spaghetti Factory is one of the best restaurants in great Vancouver. ‏The atmosphere is fabulous, you will enjoy all of antique tables and chairs, decorations and the lovely train in the middle of restaurant. When you are walking around, old pictures catch your eyes. All of these brings smile to your mouth and good feeling and happiness to you. ‏The start with bringing fresh bread with garlic butter that is so tasty and if you want more, they bring you. Also, salad or soup at the beginning and coffee, tea or ice cream at the end is included in your food. Food is delicious. We got Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and lasagna. They were delicious, however the portion of lasagna is so small, I wish it was bigger than that. ‏Also, drink we got was good as well. ‏Price is reasonable. ‏The only complaint is although there were a lot of free tables on the floor and trains, they gave us a table in mezzanine and when we asked to have a table in the train they said you have to wait for 20 minutes! And also other parts of the restaurant is closed! ‏Anyway, I highly recommend Old Spaghetti Factory. You will enjoy the time and food a lot.

We were discussing the importance of online restaurant reviews the other day. That has triggered me to write a review while I am here now, finishing my late lunch and enjoying my dessert. This restaurant is really one of our comfort places. We are here multiple times a month. Between my wife and I, we have traversed the entire menu. While we have picked out our favourites, the food has always been good and fresh. The servers are happy and cheerful. I learned that they actually cranked out their own noodles in the back every day. A big part of it, is that our experience is reliable. We know in advance that we enjoy ourselves. That is worth five stars in itself.

Please fire the tall white guy that s been working here for 11 years at the front came here with my mom after my grandpa passed. He s rude and needs to learn manners asked politely for a table for 2 he said there was a 20 minute wait and was giving me attitude when asking if there was a reason for a crowd today. As it was unusually Wednesday night took a taxi to eat somewhere else as he s not worth a dime.

We had a group of 6, including 1 adult and 2 kids who are vegan. We were served by Eugenie, who was fantastic! Personable, engaging and overall one of the very best servers i ve come across in a long time! Food was fantastic, especially the linguini seafood marinara. Wine was very reasonably priced. Included with the main entree, is a warm loaf of bread, salad or soup, coffee/tea and ice cream for dessert. My bill came to $31 inc glass of wine and tip. Service, value of food, and overall experience is a 10 out of 10. Only minor setback was that they ran out of the impossible meatballs after we put our order through. It was the only vegan meatless option aside from marinara sauce. But.. we ll def be back! Dietary restrictions: They have the vegan impossible meatballs, but ran out before we could try them. Kid-friendliness: Great environment for kids. Kids menu -main entree, included soup/ salad/ pop/ juice/ ive cream for dessert. All for under $10. Super tasty and reasonable

Casual dining place, prices can be a bit expensive but the dishes do come with sides, dessert and refillable bread so it ends up being decent value. The food isnt anything too special in my opinion, but I do like the cozy atmosphere quite a bit. Great place for families, and there is even an open trolley car to eat in. Parking: Lots of parking on the streets around, and an underground parkade with spots just a 30 second walk down the street. It technically is not for spaghetti factory but there are no posted restrictions on its usage. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, with a kid menu, activities and a good casual atmosphere.

Went there a few weeks ago for my daughters birthday. Had a group of 9. Food was tasty and everyone liked it. The only issue was that everyone got their food pretty much the same time except for my son. His took an extra 10-15 minutes. So everyone was eating except for him. Who was watching everyone eat until he got his. But other than that hiccup, everything went okay. Server was nice.

The kids pizza was tomato sauce and cheese on a piece of pita bread! It was basically a lunchables kit that they put into the oven and pawned off as a pizza. If you re not going to do it right, don t do it or at the very least write down in the menu that it s on a pita bread and not pizza dough. My 3 year old wouldn t even eat it. French onion soup was good but my linguini vongole was clearly frozen clams and tasted very fishy. Luckily I was able to mask the taste with a LOT of chili flakes. Lastly when making the reso I said we are celebrating my friends bday. They never acknowledged anything and honestly after the lackluster food we just wanted to go someplace better for dessert.

September 22, 2024

We used to come here once per week, because the staff are generally extremely friendly and the food is good. So imagine my surprise today when the host decided that the best response to me asking if we could move tables because the one she placed us at was wobbly with an exasperated sigh and a roll of the eyes. You know what? That s not an unreasonable ask at all, and a bad way to lose a loyal customer.

September 22, 2024

We came for a birthday dinner and were happy with the prices but unhappy with the service. Clinton was the most horrendous server/manager I ve ever encountered. Unprofessional, rude, dismissive and I saw the way he treated his staff was absolutely abhorrent. He is NOT meant to work in hospitality.

I started going to this location as some of the good restaurants are closing down. To be honest there isnt a lot of choice to begin with.The last few times I have come in, there is always an issue with being seated. Some of the hosts are not very friendly, the last time I came in I was told the server in the lounge was not accepting more tables. I have never heard of this in any restaurant. Once I get in the service is fine, nothing to write home about but okay. The food is okay but their drink specials and food specials for happy hour are the cheapest I have seen in quite a long time. They really need to work on how hosts greet people and their seating process. I choose to sit in the lounge as most places reserve that for adults only unless they are super busy. I dont mind kids but when I sit in a lounge its nice to have quiet. The day I went in it wasnt particularly busy and a big table of a few families with a bunch of kids were there seated at the table beside us. It would be a good idea to have some more training for hosts and how to seat people, its not about just plunking people wherever there should be some thought and strategy behind it as well. After all, I would think establishments want their guests to all have a good experience.

August 22, 2024

I recently took my team to Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner, but unfortunately, the experience was marred by a disturbing incident. I found a spider in my water glass after taking a sip, which triggered my phobia. When I showed it to our server, Nicole, she dismissed it as just a little spider and laughed it off, despite my distress. Although the manager and other staff were apologetic and kind, I was disappointed by the lack of empathy and concern for hygiene. Hopefully, theyll take steps to improve their service and cleanliness. It not only spoiled my mood but also it ruined our evening!

The business is located just outside of the New West plaza, with the entrance of 8th St. There are street parking available across the restaurant, as well as a parking lot. Transit options are also available as there is the skytrain and bus loop within a minute away. Interior has plenty of seats to accommodate singles, couples to larger groups with advance notice. Reservation is recommended as they do tend to get busy. Although they specialize on pasta, alternatives are also available such as ribs, chicken and steak. Most meals includes the following - Unlimited sourdough bread with garlic butter - Choice of soup or salad - Choice of ice cream dessert Our table had 4 people with one a birthday patron. Our server was Nicole and she was pleasant and friendly, attentive and kept the hot fresh bread and butter coming. The included photos are of the minestrone soup, seafood linguine marinara, and spumoni ice cream. This alone was $20.75 +tax and I have included the screen shots of the menu and order.

Very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The perfect balance. Our food was served promptly and could not have been better. Give yourself a treat and pop in when you are in NewWest. Ask for Thomas, you ll be glad you did.

TL;DR: felt being ignored most of the time at this location. - My spot was given away for some reason even I sat by the reception - long wait for a menu or even someone to talk to, who was wondering why no one helped my table - minimal service/interaction until almost finishing the meal then dessert selection and finally coffee top up One thing led to another this time, resulting in an unpleasant dining experience.

Last Sunday, we had a marvellous birthday dinner here. We had a reservation for a large group at 6pm, and we needed to change tables for accessibility reasons which was done without delay. My daughter accidentally dropped a gift card between the table and the wall, making it impossible to retrieve. Hazel who was checking to ensure our new table was suitable, took it upon herself to spend 15 minutes on her knees trying to retrieve the gift card without being asked. There was a delay in receiving our food, although we were offered additional salads. Hands down one of our best dining experience in a long time. 100/10

Its a great place with delicious food and good prices. The restaurant is beautiful, but what we liked the most was the outstanding service. The staff is kind and always willing to help. We will definitely be back!

I dont normally make reviews but I wanted to share this in hopes the restaurant sees it, as we ordered delivery. We order delivery a couple times a month from this location. It is always spot on and delicious. My hubby and I always are the same dishes. Me, the pesto linguine and him, the chicken ravioli. Both are so so good and taste the exact same every time we order (although at times the sauce lacks on the pesto linguine, could be dried up as it is being delivered). We ordered on this past May long weekend, and for the first time we were so disappointed. Both pastas had no flavor and were watery. They did not taste the same as every other time we order. It was as if the cook didnt follow the recipe. The pesto linguine was basically just cream sauce with a hint of pesto, not like it usually is at all, bursting with flavor, nuts and basil. Same with the chicken ravioli, it is usually really rich and flavorful, this time it was just bland. It may be because it was a long weekend and a newer chef was working? Or the regular chefs were not available? Either way, I just wanted the restaurant to know. I was in the industry for a couple decades and I know at times these things happen and also at times it is a training issue. Im slightly hesitant to order again, as I dont want the same issue to happen again, when take out is so expensive. I hope it isnt a menu change that caused this experience. Thanks!

Pretty nice place to come too and also pretty affordable! Only thing to note is when you are seated inside the train it is a little bit harder to get a server to help you but everything else is good! This place is also very accessible due to it being next to the skytrain station. As for food most of them are yummy and they generally include a soup or salad, bread, main meal, tea or coffee and ice-cream at the end :)

We gave our name and were told 10 minutes, maybe twenty. 45 minutes later, I got up to ask where our name was on the list. After much shuffling of papers, the two girls found our name then said, we called your name. I said, no you didn t, we were sitting there. There was three feet away from their station. They gave us a table right away but after being lied to about calling our name, we had lost our appetite and got up and left. I can handle incompetence and a sorry but not being lied to. You will continue to lose customers if your front service doesn t know how to apologize, be humble and admit their mistakes.

The food tastes great. We devoured at least 3 of the bread because it slaps so hard. The spaghetti was perfectly done, not too soft and slightly chewy. The seafood spaghetti was the most memorable. The salad was kind of bland (we asked for balsamic dressing), the minestrone soup was a much better choice.

Fun place to go on date night or for a birthday party. One problem with the rack of ribs is 90 % of the time theyre dry.. Good pasta and drinks. Try not to sit too close to the kitchen. Food

My family and I frequent this Old Spaghetti Factory a few times a year, and our experience is always fairly pleasant. The food is what youd expect from a family restaurant, good but nothing to really write home about. I do love their brown butter mizithra speghetti (which I get every time, usually pairing with a chicken main). Last time, I got the Hunter Chicken, and although good, it was nothing spectacular. They were willing to customize my sons pizza (as he does not eat cheese), and my wife was happy with her lasagna (although she did sneak a few forks worth of my mizithra cheese speghetti, but who can blame her). The staff was pleasant enough, but nothing above and beyond. One thing I do not like is their booth seats. Im a bigger guy, and once in, they are comfortable enough, but I do find it cumbersome getting out. They are just designed weird. Its not bad enough that I specifically request a table, but I guess enough that I felt the need to comment about it. If youre a bigger person, elderly, or have a leg injury or disability, its something to watch for. All in all, we will be back (when my mizithra cravings kick in), and the ice cream at the end is always nice. Parking: Underground, paid parking nearby, other than that parking is very limited. Kid-friendliness: They were happy to customize my kids pizza as he does not eat cheese, and the staff were friendly with him

Food has always been good, except for tonight. Ordered chicken with my pasta entre tonight and it was rubbery, sort of chewy instead of tender. Perhaps it was a bit under done. I normally give this place 5 stars as the service is always great, but tonight giving 4 stars because of the under done chicken. Hope its a one time occurrence.

My family and I dined today at the Old Spaghetti Factory today. The atmosphere was great as always, the staff where very friendly and inviting and the food was good as always. Our waiter was Eduardo and he was awesome! He was very attentive! He gave great recommendations on dishes and he made sure we where taken care of. Our table was a little chaotic with 3 young and energetic kids and he handled everything great. Also the price was very good for what we got. We will be back in a couple weeks for sure. Thanks OSF Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring kids and a great value

It is a very nice place, the atmosphere is incredible, the service is a little slow, the prices are very good. The only detail I had is that I didnt particularly like the flavor of my pasta sauce, but it is a good place to celebrate or spend time with family and friends.
