Lunch
Great food for a great price, very good if you want tasty food that fills you up, service was also amazing and i will be returning
To be clear, I don't think this is a 5 star restaurant, but I do believe the food we received was what we expected, it was ready in a reasonable amount of time, the price was fine and the service exceeded expectations. Great job, we'd eat there again!
Tried to have a 70th birthday party at Red Lobster rude staff would have to wait an hour and they would not be able to sit the 12 of us together ( we had already been told by phone it would be fine ) . Called the spaghetti factory from RL parking lot they said they could help us . It was great thank you so much ???? This will be our number one place from now on.
Wonderful service, the chef had come out to our table to personalize a dish for My self as I had some restrictions on what I can eat . My server was wonderful as well . Thank you to Conner , Calvin, and Kevin for making this happen . We will definitely be back !
Food and service has always been good at this location. No complaints
Dine in
Amazing staff and amazing food. Pretty busy on weekends but I guess that's only because it's where everyone wants to be.
Food is good. Service is excellent. Washroom is clean. Good atmosphere. My favorite restaurant in town. My husband and I really like the old spaghetti factory in Banff and now this loctation. The only thing I give 3 stars is the management. We went on Mon long weekend for supper. The front end staff said it takes 25 mins for a table. I went to the washroom and there were like 4 empty tables on one side. As we sat down to wait, we saw a few more booths available still. This is the same problem with the one in Banff. Lots of tables are empty, but they make customers wait. They need to manage better to seat customers and not to let people wait while tables are empty.
Great food and great service. Lots of room in the restaurant and not too noisy so you can have a decent conversation. This is one of my "go to" places to eat and I have never had anything I didn't like on the menu. They have great staff and have taken good measures to abide by the COVID 19 rules. In short the place is awesome and I would recommend it to everyone.
When we first came in there was no hostess. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was like grandma's house. I had the lasagna and it needed to sit for a day for the flavor to develop. The ice cream was a sweet touch.
Delicious meal, Aaa++++! Dustin is a great waiter! Thanks
This spot is great! Fair prices, big portions and the staff members are constantly very friendly.
Our Server Sarah was great. She made the whole experience perfect. Her professionalism and being so personable made it a great treat. As for the food, the kitchen was very slow and when our food arrived, 3 out 4 meals were cold. All the pasta dishes were cold, not a little but ice cold. The place wasn't even half full and the kitchen was crashing. We will try it again and hope it was a one time problem.
Great Service and good food considering the price. Would recommend for regular spaghetti needs
Great food & prices are affordable as well friendly staff
Very friendly staff and great pasta at a great price. Not high end pasta but fills the need on a cold night.
First time at this location. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great meal at a very good price. Clean bright atmosphere. Very family oriented.
We came here (Calgary) after going to the Banff location to compare' We had the french onion soup to start as well as steamed mussels, and salad. My comment here would be that there was a few mussels which were not open (about 5 to be exact) other then that' everything (including the mussels) was about average. For entre's we had the spaghetti with meat sauce factory size & the lasagna, with an extra side of mizithra cheese. Everything was average. The spumoni ice cream is one of a kind of you're not accustomed to spumoni ice cream. The cleanliness of the facility was great and the service was excellent.
Worst service!.. literally waited for more than an hour before i get my orders.. staff were "hiding" while waiting for orders, just to elude the customers.. they should inform at least the customers how many years more do we need to wait!
Our family always hunts out TOSF's wherever we go. I always get the same meal as I love it so much and never fails to deliver. Really good value too as you get warm bread to start, house ranch salad, and ice cream, plus coffee included in the price of the entree.
My husband and I came here for my moms birthday. The service from the get go was amazing. From the hostess to the server the service was amazing. The food was prompt and any issues that we had were addressed immediately. We want to especially thank our server Malakie who was so kind and patient and helpful with our entire dining experience. She was the one person who stood out and someone who should be appreciated. The service industy needs more people like her!
Came for lunch to eat with a group. The interior is very nice and the servers were great! I had the seafood Alfredo and it was subpar for an 18.00 meal. The sauce seemed like it was out of a can, the portion was ok it could have been bigger and there were like 3 small shrimp and 3 or 4 tiny little scallops so it wasn't worth it all n all. Won't come here again. Not the worse but not acceptable
We had a great meal chicken parmesan went mid afternoon nice and quiet great service
Great value, great service, clean washrooms, parking is ok, when it gets busy you have to park a little further then normal from the doors. Lots of different options, gluten free pastas. Great place for a sit down meal on a date or with the family.
Food was good but service was a bit slow even though it wasn't busy
Compared to the West Edmonton Mall branch: - Their portions were smaller! - The bread served was old! - The caesar was tasting and smelling like fish. Fish is usually an ingredient, but they overdid that. Overall, it was not the great experience we had in Edmonton, especially the West Edmonton Mall location.
This is a great tradition when in Calgary. Food value is great and delicious. Service friendly. What more can someone want or expect.
Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. I first came here at an off peak time and I was blown away with how amazing the good was. Went back durring a much busier time and the food was just as amazing with the same quality from the staff and kitchen . I highly reccomend reccomend the Chicken Parm.
Very slow service, we had visitors from the USA and it took at least 35 minutes for us to get our water, then another 30 minutes to get the order taken, in all we've spent almost 3 hrs at this restaurant. AVOID. Go to the NE location, completely different, excellent service at NE location.
Service and atmosphere were great, but I was very disappointed with the food. The chicken parm was priced at $23 and it tasted more like a frozen chicken burger, with a small handful of fries. The pasta was good, but small portion for the price.
Had multiple great times here. Food is great and the service is great as well. The management is exceptional. Although it is a bit pricey, they do give you a full course meal so it makes up for it at the end.
Good food. Good prices. Awesome peaceful atmosphere and friendly efficient staff
Parking was a bit of a pain, but it's very nice and eclectic inside. The the bathrooms in the basement have carpet leading to them which is a bit sketch, but food is awesome as always with Old Spaghetti Factory.
I come here all the time for birthday's with my family. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they only have 2 handicap parking spots. On the right side of the parking lot, they have 1/4 spots in front of the restaurant that should all be handicap. And 1 just on the other side of the median
Always such an enjoyable dining experience. Great service and food. Prices are so reasonable for a 4 course meal. Don and I upgraded to the baked french onion soup, Entree was spaghetti and meatballs, mini loaf bread, and spumoni ice cream with tea. Final bill just over $40 for two.
Cheyenne is absolutely stellar at what she does! I've never felt more welcome anywhere in all my years of dining out...she deserves a raise and a promotion if already not given one....she is a gem!
Decent food. Generally good staff. Okay prices. Doesn't have dedicated parking though.
This place was nice and clean. Service was great and fast. They make sure you have everything you ordered. Food taste great.
Server was excellent, clean but food not as good as I would expect just ok.
Always a great deal we love their food
Love this place! Not only do they have delicious food, but they have delicious gluten free food, which can be difficult for pastas, but they pull it off. Love the fact that most of the meals come with an appetizer and dessert. For the price and nice ambiance, it can't be beat.
I've been here more times than I can count. I always know that I'm getting amazing food, exceptional service, and an outstanding time all around. I love this location!
Good food, good. Price, decent atmosphere. Great place for large families and groups.
Great pricing on lunch specials. Always friendly hostess and waitress. Food are always served hot.
Great food, awesome service, full filling. I would come back again.
Came in for lunch by myself. I was greeted with a smile by Colin. He seated me and then Ramesh came to serve me. Again with a smile and great service. Food was delicious, and served just in time as I finished my salad. I love that you get salad, coffee and ice cream included in your meal. Talk about a lunch deal at $10.50. I did come after the rush at 1 pm so it wasn't that busy. I will be back and would recommend others to go eat here. ????
Old reliable. The quality of the dish presentation seems to have dropped. It used to look fresh now it looks more like it was nuked in microwave. Good staff clean restaurant good prices
I love the Old Spaghetti factory, but unfortunately this trip wasn't great. My cousin got a drink and the cup was full of mold. The manager comped the drink and a free dessert, but we were still pretty grossed out.
Good food, great portions and a friendly staff. If you want pasta then this is your place.
Food was really good, as expected, and the service was really good, as well. Would recommend it.
Have been going to OSF every year on my birthday and will continue to do so. Amazing prices combined with great food and the unlimited bread is a winner every time.
The pasta was excellent. The starter salad had was not fresh.
Spectacular food, delicious flavors, moderate prices, great service, you must go visit, 100% recommended you bet.
We had a great dinner with even better service. Big thank you to our server Anthony.
My family's second time here Great food & Great customer service every time. Our new go to pasta place
Portions were small, a little bigger than hungry man frozen meal and somewhat it tasted like it. I paid around ~ $60 for 3 small plates, it wasn’t worth it at all.
Vanessa and Tianna are the best ! Great service great food what more could you ask for ?
My family loves The Old Spaghetti Factory. The servers really know their stuff, the all included pricing is nice (starter, main, dessert), and the portion sizing are huge (yay lunch for tomorrow!). The only downside to THIS location is that it isn't at all wheelchair/stroller accessible. Too many stairs to get in, and the bathroom is down even more stairs. If you are wheelchair bound or don't do well with stairs, hit the Marlborough location. Same food, no stairs.
I only thought there was a spegetti factory in Banff, so when I found out that there was one in calgray I got really excited. They had a lot of expectations food wise to meet, and they did a really good job. Food was good, and hot and the waiter was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Having the constant bread is a great touch to the Italian dining. The only cons are, you should be able to request two garlic butters instead of one plain and one garlic. And to get to the washroom you have to walk down two flights of stairs and down a sketchy hall. And the bathrooms need a bit of a reno. Otherwise is a great place to go for dinners in groups and just on a date. Location is great a couple mins walk from the C-train and tight beside prince's island. As well this restaurant I'd kid friendly.
I had a great time there with my family. Food and services were awesome.
Had an outstanding experience at this location last night. Had very pleasent staff take care of us, and they even gave us a bunch of free bread to take him with us. They treated us very well overall, and took care of any concerns swiftly. Also, even though we cam in near closing they did not make us feel rushed to leave. 5 stars! Family favorite!!
Always consistently good. It does not matter which location I visit I know the quality will be the same. Yummo
Good basic fare. A hearty three course meal at a reasonable price. Quality is consistent across the country. Old SF is our "go to" restaurant for 'carbo loafing' before a major athletic event. A few more restaurants in major cities and popular sports tournament destinations would be ideal. Waiting times prior to major events can be quite lengthy.
Portions are quite generous but what was really great was our server, Ramesh. Was so kind, quick, and had great suggestions.
good nice portions very friendly staff, well mannered attentive server
Food was good, server was friendly but we felt super rushed. Just got our appetizers and the meals were brought out while we were still eating our salads. Then right after eating dessert and not even done with that, the bill was brought to us right away without even asking for it.
Used to love coming to the old spaghetti factory, but it is quite evident that the quality has gone down yet the prices still keep going up. Next time I'll go across the street to Olive Garden.
Vintage ambience! Fast service and good food! It's not that pricey as you may think if you have not tried it.
Great service and good quality food for the cost. Good ambience as well.
It is good quality food for a low price. Most items include drink, salad or soup, unlimited sour dough bread and ice cream. Excellent for families and the kids menu is also delicious and costs very little. Delicious food!
excellent service good food and really nice atmosphere really enjoyed our dinner
The food was slightly above average, but my plate had a crack in it, and the managers response was "it's so small." I'm not sure if it's The Spaghetti Factories policy to use cracked plates depending on the size of the damage, but a crack is a crack is a crack.
Not bad ...good food and good value.
Service
Good value and affordable for what you get when you order an entree (i.e. pasta, salad/soup, ice cream, tea, bread). Good service at this location. Nice place to bring the family.
Wow the brand-new spaghetti factory is awesome!!The food was fantastic and fast I couldn't believe it I'm so used to waiting forever at other places which is hard with small kids. Staff super friendly too. :)
Always friendly staff, delicious food (which is served very fast), and very reasonable prices!
Every time we've been here the servers have been really good. Very attentive, but not in you face. The food is reliably good. Nothing will blow your socks off, but we find ourselves there for dinner regularly.
Always an enjoyable visit when we eat here. Very accommodating staff (we had our triplet godsons with us) and food was delicious. We'll keep coming back.
Very pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Very warm and cozy both. Our waitress AMALI was terrific! Great suggestions about things on the menu and quick to attend all our needs. Great evening special everything included. We'll be going back for sure!
Food was good and service was excellent! No baby change tables in the bathrooms??
The place has a nice family quiet setting to it. The staff were really nice and the food didn't take too long at all. All the food was great portions and fairly priced. It tasted great. Great place for lunch or Supper. They have a good range of options to pick from If you don't want pasta.
The food tasted good, the staff were friendly and funny. And the restaurant was well decorated which gave a nice complete picture.
Great food. Everything included meals are the best. Very beautiful lighting throughout creates a neat ambiance.
I have to confess! I took my roommates here to show them that the OSF is a great place to eat, dine and unwind on a student's budget haha. It also reminded me of home aka winterpeg. It was not the same exact experience as the one I am used to at the Forks in wpg but the food was exact, the baked bread warm and soft, the atmosphere is busy. My friends thought I was crazy as there were other spots we could've attended for pasta. Yes, there was, but I was home sick and this place brings back memories, even when i was a young tot lol.
They were able to accommodate a last minute birthday party for us (group of 12 so not an easy ask!) and they really saved the day! The staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is great. Super family friendly! We will definitely be back - what a terrific experience!
Meal type
The food is as good as any old spaghetti factory, and the service is great. It's not high class dining by any stretch, but a decent place to grab a beer, eat some cheap food, and relax after work.
Aweful food. Seafood way over cooked. Wilty salad, childrens dish had a pound of noodles with a sprinkle of sauce. I wasnt mad... just good to know but even tho they took it off my bill (so nice) i will remember olive garden is just across the road lol
Good family atmosphere around noon. Service was great. Food could be better, been there lots of times in the past, not the past few years. Friends are in town and wanted to go there. My favorite brown butter and cheese was more butter than browned butter and very dry, sour dough bread barely warm, still very nice place. Perhaps chef having an off day.
TBH I don't think the staff was prepared for a party this size, 45 ppl + requires at LEAST 1 server/every 10 ppl. Food was ok but nothing special. Totally recommend the BAM shrimp though....
Great food, love this place :)
It's a dated chain that hasn't made much effort to modernize or improve their food. If you're looking for a bog standard bowl of spaghetti, knock yourself out, but given the other options in the area, it's little wonder this place is so quiet.
Good service and cool enviro. But let's be honest, the food is really not that great. Passable.
Have always loved the spaghetti factory. Just had dinner with relative from flin flon Manitoba, they absolutely loved it. We had a longer wait this time and the server and manager were very apologetic and at the end of it offered us two free desserts. Which was highly appreciated. We will absolutely be back and will tell everyone. Thank you for the amazing service and delicious food! Our server Jessica was great!
Chicken Alfredo with Mascarpone Mushroom Ravioli is the best thing I've ever eaten! Good service, friendly staff and reasonable prices. I love this place!
Very welcoming atmosphere.The host and server were very friendly and accommodating. Food is excellent served in a timely manner for a very reasonable price. My family will definitely be returning. The Ceasars are also very nice.
The restaurant staff are friendly and courteous. The food is average but well prepared. The decor is a bit dated and isn't really clean but it's a good place for lunch if you are in a hurry.
The place was ok. Bit for Italian restaurants i have had much better.
First trip to this place and definitely the last first of all told 15 minute wait took almost 40 min to be seated the service was the worst experience ever that all 4 of us experienced.Had to ask for a knife to cut bread loafs and were told they were all dirty and waiting on clean ones!!! Really?Ordered two pasta dishes and one rib dish,and a Caesar salad with prawns the first 3 came to table then waited for the salad dish for almost ten minutes later.What a horrible experience!!!!
Have always had g pleasant service... A tad expensive for pastas but that is just normal restaurants mark up. I go regularly on Tuesdays for lunches. Recommend the white peach sangria on specials.
Consistently good food, generous servings, and friendly and attentive staff.
Good food, fast service, and fairly priced!
Food is very good, great low price. Service is unusual or poor. This place is mostly empty for lunch.
Food wasnt great nor was the managers customer service. French onion soup; onions were not carmelized and cooked down enough to impart the sweetness the soup should have had. They still had a chewy texture to them. Fresh broccoli with mizithra and brown butter; while nicely blanched and cheese was good. It was just regular butter. None of this so far really concerned me enough to say anything. Baby Back Ribs; On the menu they are described as a pound a baby back ribs. What i got was 2 end pieces totaling 6 small bones for 20 bucks. I mentioned this to my server who apologized and was sympathetic to my concern and said she would inform the MOD. When she arrived I told her this was nowhere near a pound and her repsonse was "What do you expect? This is The Old Spaghetti Factory." She then asked what she could do. I told her another half portion of ribs would fine. And that was the last i saw of her. Extra ribs took a long time and by then they had brought out dessert.
The meals and service were ahead of my expectations. We really liked the vibes of this spot. Excellent restaurant to take my family out for lunch.
The old spaghetti factory in any province is usually above average for basic Italian food great soup tho
Had an excellent meal, staff was friendly, restaurant is clean. Had a bit of a hiccup with my husband's QR code being tricky to scan and his medical mask exception so a manager was called, but he dealt with the situation professionally and politely which these days is so refreshing to come across!
Great service and amazing food ????
Great value for the money. Lunch spaghetti is only $11.75 and comes with bread, soup or salad, entree, ice cream and coffee or tea. Great hostess too.
Great place, friendly people, fast service and great food, definitely will be back again, loved it
Love old Spaghetti Factory. It is one of the few restaurants I can eat at without worrying about my allergies. Yes they serve the food that I am allergic to but they listen and I have never had a reaction. It great food at a reasonable price. Even my daughter with sensory issues live it
I've been to Spag Factory since I was a kid. It was great then and it is great now. I just can't figure out why there aren't more of them in the city.
Service
Before my food got to the table they brought out the bread sticks. I took a bite and out came a huge hair that was baked into the bread. I informed the waitress who in turn had the manager come to the table. He was so apologetic, he offered a slice of cake to devide among five people. Wow. I just sucked on a strangers DNA and was offered a slice of cake to split between five adults. It was like he was more concerned over a few onces of pasta than keeping new customers.
Candice was a great server, she made the dinner very enjoyable. Very friendly and personable
Great food service was great as well. Feel bad for the employees being masked up unnecessarily all around worth the miney for sure
Best pasta in town fresh and yummy reasonable price. Love it my go to now.
We were very pleased with our server Morgan, who did an outstanding job looking after us today. The calamari was nicely spiced and tender but a little too much breading. The Caesar salad was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. The soups we're good but not very warm. Overall it was a pretty good lunch!
This is really only for those who want somewhat OK food. Watery spaghetti, not much flavour in the sauces. But friendly staff and cheap special prices. There are better pasta places out there though.
The place is cozy and price friendly! Our server Travis was a delight and the others were just as helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Normally this is an excellent place 2 eat but my bowl of spaghetti had quite a bit water in it. The waiter gladly replaced it. The spicy sauce was lacking flavor. The starter salads were excellent
The staff were well prepared and very efficient in assisting our large group of over 40 persons. They worked with us to ensure we were able to stay on budget and provide a full meal. Food was excellent!
Food was good, service was great and decent pricing.
It was the first time my son and I had gone. And with really outstanding friends on Saturday December 12th, 2020 (the night before a 15-30 day covid (Karen, anti-masker, etcetera induced) lock down.). It was was a most AWESOME experience to be had by all at my table, as well as, all diners I could see around us. You have got to see and enjoy the history around you with all the ambiance of antique lighting and furniture starting at the greeting counter. (I don't say it very often.). This is a restaurant I'm anticipating to going back too once the lockdown is over! Everything about the dining experience I've immensely enjoyed is very much of most importance to the owner, management and staff. It's an ambiance that must be experienced and spoiled in! I can't believe the there is only 1 Old Spaghetti Factory in Calgary! From what I experienced tonight there should have been many more such restaurants for all of Calgarians to experience!! I found the prices fair (it's not MacDonald's) for services provided and even gave a 20.00 tip. An unheard of tip by those who know me. Lol! Go!!+ It's a must experience!++
Server was nice but food was slow(waited more than 1 hour just to get salad). Really disappointed.
Worst place I've been to. Food was cold. Only got half the order. Service was very slow waited 15 min for water. Appetizer came out after the mains came out. I would avoid this location altogether.
Incredible service from Anthony. Very kind and prompt and remembered our order without a pen and paper. When I head back, I'll be sure to request his section and hope he's working. Food was good too. Thanks again.
Went with a group of 6. Took 40minutes for soup and salad to come. Had to cancel my order as lunch was taking too long. No apologies for the delay, just wanted to know how I wanted to pay for the soda water I drank. There were two other tables in the restaurant.
Service is absoluetly amazing and the dinning area is so comfortable and clean. When it comes down to the food everything on there menu is absolutely fabulous. Recommend this place to everyone.
Delicious and large portions, even from the lunch menu. I ordered the steak sandwich and it arrived just as I requested. Lovely atmosphere and all staff were polite and respectful
Polite service, not really fast service, which was nice. Had a nice amount of time between each course. Very good server, Celina. I would recommend them for sure.
Amazing place, loved the ambience. Food variety is nice and their offering of packages is a kool concept. With breads to soup n custom Pasta we got perfect evening family dinner. In the end we chose Icecream but you can opt for tea/coffee as well. Plenty of space for sitting as well as Bar area. Yes its bit crowded on weekends so reservations advised. For Veg ppl yes there are good options.
We were 12, the service was excellent. Food as always delish!
Good service for groups. Food is very basic but value for price is great
Took a friend there for dinner , the girl that came to greet us had the nastiest greasy hair to the point we almost threw up.. Unfortunately because of that we took our business elsewhere, first impressions are key in a restaurant and that was the worst ... If you work in customer service especially in a food environment it most important to be clean .... The only reason I gave 1 star is there is no option for no Star...
Working across the street, I eat here fairly regularly when entertaining guests from our US office. Soup is a little saltier than I would like but have never had any issues with service or food quality that weren't resolved by the end of the visit. We've even dropped in for dinner with a group of 8+ kids and 8 adults and were greeted with a welcome smile and great service.
Yumyyy food always tried onion soup first time and I love it ????
Food was amazing! Service was really good! Prices were good! Only complaint is that we had dirty cutlery upon arrival, but our server immediately brought us new ones.
I haven't been here in a while so I thought I give it a try again. I had the traditional spaghetti and meatballs. It was pretty average spaghetti since i wasn't expecting much but price is pretty good considering you get a starter salad and desert.
- Our server was Amazing, My son has a food allergy and he took care of us well and was just all out awesome, the food was good but the chicken chucks I had were chewy. - Don't forget the dessert when you go it's Amazing :-)
My family and I came here for a birthday, there was about 10 of us, so not a small group. The service was attentive for about 20 mins but we had to wait for the rest of our party to show up. It took them a while to come get our order and that's why they are only getting 4 stars. They also had a school in so the service was better then some restaurants I've been in with similar situations. The food was hot and tasty and they kept the unlimited bread coming when they remembered we were there. The meals made up for the spotty service however and I would take my family back any time.
It was fantastic, had went to the one in Banff and therefore had to come try this one before leaving vacation. The waitress Tiana was amazing , incredibly polite and hardworking. You could tell they were short staffed but she went above and beyond to do her absolute best. Food was delicious. Thank you will recommend to others.
Food was hot, fast and delicious. Service was friendly, attentive, and courteous. Mentioned I had an intolerance for seafood - manager came out in person to discuss. Overall a great experience at a really reasonable price. Would highly recommend!
1 star out of 5 since the server was polite and very attentive. One positive takeaway from my experience at Speghetti Factory. Food quality is low - dry, little sauce, bland. Food is high-priced, not worth it in terms of taste and portion.
Food is always consistent, family friendly, reasonably priced. Always a place in our rotation!
Great food and service. And it is kid friendly too love to eat there
It is a really nice place to eat. The food is Awesome and the Service was Great.
Food was delicious, great price. Exceptionally friendly and excellent service from our server Emilie. Best restaurant in town.
Not impressed. 5 servers were amongst us and I had to make a comment about not being visited by a server for almost ten minutes before someone finally came over. They were too busy clearing tables and chatting and despite eye contact, was ignored. One girl looked at me and I tried to motion her over, but perhaps I wasn't in her section. I won't be back. Ugh. This was on a quiet Sunday evening. Lots of staff to cover the available guests.
Always a good meal
Good food, good prices and good service. We had some loud misbehaving children at our table and none of the staff seemed bothered. Great family restaurant.
Have eaten at this place from 1980 till now. Has been in different locations but always good food.
Very poor service, Compare to the one in Banff, food wasn't good. I had a good time in Banff, thinking it would be the same in Calgary. The worst choice will never go to this place again
I order the seafood linguine and my scallops were under cook and my shrimp was over cook, I also order the bam bam shrimp and taste gross because they don't change the oil everyday and there was no bam to it
Travis is our guy, perfect everything!
Great selection of food and the staff was well mannered and amazing.
One of my favourite places to go...never had a bad dinner or time love this place!
Excellent fast service friendly staff and definitely looking forward to returning! Amazing value and amazing food what's not to love!
The server was nice, the restaurant was very cold and the food took two hours to arrive, not happy with this licatuon in calgary NE. The food was not warm and despite apologetic server ni discount on food which was overwhelming
I like this restaurant very much. there is a romantic atmosphere. The food is good. the service is dynamic and the waiters are professional. The price is decent. truly recommend.
I have ways liked Old Spaghetti Factory... the Managers Favorite with both meat sauce and Mizithera cheese topping is absolutely awesome. It has been a while for me though due to the pandemic. We ordered online for curb pickup. We were there on time and had already paid and tipped, but despite repeated calls they were 20-25 minutes late after our arrival (and advised pickup time) and I ultimately had to go in and pick up face to face to get our order. Would have been 4 or 5 stars.
I always order the same (bam bam shrimp and tortellini with mizithra and meat sauce) so really its about the service. No complaints at all.
Food was excellent. Our server was new but she did a decent job.
the atmosphere is nice, the food is good, never had an issue and the service is ok.
Great service, and atmosphere. Food was quite tasty and our server kept checking in on us. 2 thumbs up.
Top notch take-out experience. Very reasonable prices for generous portions that tasted delicious. Great service at pick-up and very impressed from order right through dining. Will definitely check them out again!
Great food! Both in quality and quantity. It is my go to date spot.
By far our favourite place in town for a nice meal. Friendly staff awesome food.
Service was amazing and food was so good and quick! We had jace as our server and he was the actual best server we’ve probably ever had! Highly recommend this location. Also came on a Saturday during peek time.
Service
My family loves eating here. The ambience is great, the service is exceptional and friendly, and the food is always great.
Had to ask three times if a seat was available in the bar area before given a seat. The spaghetti and meatballs was tasteless. Just tomato paste. The meatballs were previously cooked and reheated. Wrestling only on the tv’s.
Staff must have been short but they were still fairly fast
Table service good. Greeting at the door was non-existent, so we didn't know whether we were in a queue or just standing about! Food is average. Lasagne was ok. New York steak was good. Good family environment. Nothing special.....
Best restaurant ever!!! Definitely my favorite place to eat! The pasta is amazing, portions are huge and the all inclusive deal is awsome! I love the endless fresh bread and spumoni ice cream too!! And the peach Bellinis are to die for. Service is also always amazing every time i go and the price is right!!! You always get your moneys worth and never leave this place hungry!
Great service and good food, decent value and convenient parking. Lost a star because of unclear reservation policy.
Horribly messed up my food the first time but the second time was perfect. Must make reservations in advance by a week or you wait forever.
The food is ok. Service not bad. Could have been a rough night, it was very busy!! Lots of screaming kids. A few gluten free options - they were allergy aware. I need to eat gluten free and was ok, didn't feel like I had to order something I didn't want. The salad dressings were weak commercial stuff though.
Went here for my birthday and the service was absolutely amazing. Our server Rebecca was awesome. Literally, as soon as we sat down the server was at our table taking orders. The food and drinks were great. My two year old daughter also had a great time; it’s was a plus for having a very friendly family environment. I will definitely recommend and I will visit again.
Fantastic food and service!
Attractive decor with classy antiques. Caesar salad lacked a lot of flavor, so was Not worth $2 more than reg. salad. They need more Round tables for groups. Long tables against the walls lock people in, so you can't get out to go to washroom. I wouldn't choose to go back here.
Staff, location was great. Service was very good but after it got a bit busy we didn't get checked on so had to flag staff down for dessert...ended up skipping coffee. Sadly the food was mediocre at best. Spaghetti was overcooked. How do you get bad Spaghetti when it's in the name. I understand many restaurants precook their pasta to just a couple of minutes before it's done then finish cooking when ordered. Disappointed that they aren't able to cook Spaghetti. Not going back
Food is has always been good. Staff is friendly. Not impressed though with all stairs and zero wheel chair accessibility.
Excellent service and excellent food. Everything came out very quickly, tasted great and tasted fresh. The server was attentive and friendly.
Always a treat to go to OSF. Parking sucked, which is why it's not a 5-star rating. But it's downtown Calgary so I guess that's a problem everywhere? Food was amazing, service was impeccable.
There housemade Thousand Island was delicious. The ribs were good, hubby enjoyed his spaghetti.
My all time favourite restaurant! Everytime I come here, I always order the "Penne with Chicken". It is my favourite pasta here. They will serve you with bread and two types of butter. And also it comes with salad. Love their ceasar salad too! I think we come here every two weeks hahahaha!
Went to this location and it looked like about a half a dozen tables in use the rest of the restaurant was empty, and we were told by the hostess that it was going to be about a 15 minute wait..
Dine in
Service was great, management was great getting ou group set up. The food was below par compared to maybe a family style Italian restaurant. Pasta was soft and sauce was lacking in spices.
Wonderful food, manager left a little note about Quality control on a card, and as someone who work in the food industry I really appreciate the effort and care. I'll keep ordering (:
Love the environment! It's classy, retro, but not expensive. The gluten free pasta is good and well-priced, but unfortunately they are rather limited in gluten free sauces.
Food and service was excellent. I had chicken parmesan with side of spaghetti. The noodles went on forever.
Best Italian food ever, we got Alfredo Fettuccine pasta with sea food( prawns and scallops) the staff was very friendly, we had peppermint tea and ice cream, the bread with regular and garlic butter, the most awesome restaurant chains I have ever visited in Banff, Edmonton and Calgary
Tasty food and friendly, attentive service. High quality and low prices. I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do.
This place is my favorite site. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to that place. everytime I I need a proper lunchon, this place comes straightaway to my mind. extremely good and all sorts of food and a rich cuisine.professional staff, and good mood. And very important, the pay is good. I sent my friends to this spot with no hesitation.
Excellent food decent portions great service. Will go again. Prices were better than Wendys for a couple of burgers small fries and drink
Absolutely delicious!! My meal was heavenly ???? I'm gluten free but this meal was spot on, the gluten free pasta was perfectly cooked and the chicken was tender and juicy! My husband's meal was also amazing and he enjoyed the oven fresh bread with two types of butter. The service was friendly and fast. Overall a wonderful dining experience. Definitely will be back!
Food was okay. Pricing was good. They don't have parking so you have to pay for your own parking to visit the restaurant. That was the last time I'll be there because of the parking issue.
Awesome spaghetti and meatballs! Best I've ever had, staff is friendly and polite
My friends and their two infants went there for the first time, but the door lady rolled her eyes on them. Hope to be able to get a table next time.
Had to wait 45 minutes for food and then they said it wasn't available and we had to order an alternative. Food ok but the service was really lousy. It took 45 minutes for the food to arrive and took even longer for the desert. The bread was really dry and crumbled as soon as I tried to cut it. The pesto had a little too much oil in it. The spaghetti sauce was really watery. The ice cream had ice crystals in it. The coffee had grounds in it
Not bad. Food is good but not great and high quality level.
Dine in
Horrible service. Young kids standing around the hostess desk and chatting. Pretty lazy. Great food though.
The food is constantly well prepared and tasty, workers provides fantastic service. I like how clean it is and vibes. Will come back again.
Really good pasta, that a even better price. Salad, main dish, and ice cream for $35 or something, lol. I love it
We loved this place, our go to when visiting Calgary. The atmosphere is fun and always great, friendly service even last night when staff knew their days there are almost done. Food excellent as always. So sad the city of Calgary is losing this restaurant.
The food and service were excellent! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the restaurant beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend this location for families, date night, or just a lunch out with friends.
Old Spaghetti Factory is a classic. Always really good food and service. All you can eat bread, salad or soup, your main entree, and ice cream for dessert, all included in your pasta entrees. Can't go wrong. Our server Anthony was phenomenal!! Highly recommend!
Meal type
Great place to take kids since they generally will like something off the menu. They also will like the ice cream at the end of the meal that is usually included. For adults, the pasta is delicious. I love the lasagna.
Awesome service. Place inside is gorgeous. Very warm and welcoming ????????. Recommend to everyone!
Great service and value. Went there recently with a large group had amazing service. Great kids menus and a good atmosphere for family. Stores a supplied cake for us in there fridge for a surprise. Included in every meal is a soup or salad, coffee or tea, and ice cream. At a very reasonable price. The food could be a bit better portions are good but not great preparation but can’t complain to much. Overall value is great will go back again and again.
If you haven't been to The Old Spaghetti Factory, you need to know something... It is the best factory in the world. They don't produce cars, gadgets, or manufacture any sort of product. What they do create is an amazing atmosphere where you and the children, you and your Bros, you and Grandma, you and anyone can go and have a great meal. They start the process of by providing complimentary bread with GARLIC butter, baked fresh when you sit down. Once the bread has been consumed they will often give you another. Yeah, you read that right. Another loaf of their delicious fresh baked bread. Then if that wasn't good enough your meal is going to come with Coffee/Tea, a side salad/soup, and spumoni ice cream. Then you go to pay the bill and what do you you just got a steal of a deal on a stomach full of delicious pasta. You're welcome.
Went a very busy Saturday night and the service was excellent. The food was great. Overall atmosphere is friendly and clean. Good family restaurant. Prices include soup or salad, never ending bread, coffee or tea and ice cream. The ribs are the best in town.
Meal type
I want to publicly thank this business for a great customer experience. I won’t lie the beginning was annoying, we were just 2 hungry gals looking for a bite after a long drive. We were promptly given bread and drinks and then were kind of forgotten about. There was a lot going on at the time we were hungry so we put money in the table for the bread and drinks and left. I lost my bank card we returned to the old spaghetti factory later that evening to look for it. The waitress was very apologetic for what happened, we were not angry in any way just hungry and impatient. She explained they were short staffed (I work in the tourism industry and understand things are hard for a lot of us right now) our conversation was very genuine and she really wanted to do something for us which wasn’t necessary. Once I returned to my hotel I had a voicemail and text message (thanks to contact tracing) from them saying they found my card, the waitress once again sincerely apologized. I will definitely be back for a proper dine in when I’m in Calgary next because of the interaction with the waitress and going above and beyond to try getting a hold of me.
Came in on opening day Tuesday (as we have been waiting for it to open ) & asked to make a reservation for 13 people . We were told they were not taking reservations as they had just opened & weren't set up for that yet . We then went back Saturday morning & they told us they had already made reservations for bigger parties ( even though we had tried a few days earlier but were told they are not taking reservations). We even offered a cash deposit but were just told to come 30 min prior to eating & they would help us . We went 40 min prior to the rest of the party arriving & were told it was an 1 1/2 hour wait. We then had to phone everyone & change the plans to another restaurant that took us in short notice . First impression has soured us on ever returning to the old spaghetti factory.
Well for us it was a very pleasant experience it was worth the little wait our server Connor was amazingly positive friendly and helpful so enjoy the stay in this great establishment
First time here & the staff where awesome. Food was amazing. My doesn't eat anywhere or like most food & he ate it all. Lots of food. I'm full & great prices as well.
Excellent food and great staff. Had a wonderful meal at a real reasonable price.
Pretty good spot, nice interior with friendly staff. Fully accessible for wheelchairs. Lots of parking and close to transit as well. Good selection of pasta, excellent sauces and delicious! Booths and table seating available in very well lit environment. Fast enough for lunch, nice enough for dinner too.
They do not have the old Carriage train like in the original Spagetti factory on 9th ave Calgary :( But the Interior is very nice! The food is great and they still offer the bread and garlic butter and have the original ice cream for desert! So if you have ever been to a Spagetti Factory anywhere expect the same friendly staff and great food!
Lunch
An old tired brand. It is not nearly as good as it used to be 40 years ago. Lost our reservation, could not make Spaghetti Carbonara (did not have the ingredients) and the lettuce tasted stale. Plan B lasagna was decent as was the ice cream desert. Service was friendly. Beer was good as well.
Good location - close to downtown but close enough to the Bow for a peaceful post-dinner walk. Good service - attentive, accurate, calm. This is particularly impressive when I consider the fact that we came with a group of 20 people, including 2 small children. Everyone generally liked their meals and desserts. We also liked the fact that all the meals came with a dessert and coffee.
Thank you for a lovely evening. You accommodated our quiet table request perfectly, the food was good and service was great.
First time at the new location...had the potpourri meal - excellent dish. Connor our server was awesome
We waited an hour and a half for our table, we were forced to order too go. when we got home the spaghetti had no sauce and was very dry the meatballs seemed like store bought packaged meat, we had ordered and paid extra for multi grain pasta and did not receive it. We got the wrong dressing for our salads and the lasagna was flavorless. I had always heard good things about this place, but it does not live up to expectations. There is good Italian dining in calgary just not at this place.
Dinner
Husband and I ordered off of skip today to feed the family. Unfortunately Skip managed to screw up the order like they usually do. Brian though the manager ensured we got a replacement meal that was warm and delicious and made sure we were happy. We will definitely be back just because of the customer service alone. But the food was amazing as well. Thank you Brian!
My family and I always enjoy our time at this restaurant. Enjoyed the food and the staff. Friendly hostess.
Take out
Definitely one of my favourite in town! OSF has a great variety of options (I have tried nearly all of them) and delicous for such a small price. So many courses, that feels like an all-you-can-eat place. The wine options are also good, specially the house wines; and quite cheap as well!
While the service can sometimes be lacking, this is still one of my long time favorites. Their pasta is tasty and well made and the bread is fresh yummy.
Fast friendly service. Great food at a very reasonable price. My new favorite place to eat.
Good and cheap pleace. You can choose one of their all included items (average price $15) like a pasta or a dish and get a soup/salad, bread, coffee/tea, and icecream. They have a spimoni flavour which is vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio. It is really good. For the main meal I usually get the chicken parmigana, or spagetti with meatballs.
Been having the managers special for years. Great little casual place. Good location and accessibility.
Dinner
We really enjoyed our dinner with friends here. They were able to seat us at a large table which accomadated everyone with some elbow room! We loved the Bam Bam shrimp and I really enjoyed the Blood Orange bellini!
Love coming here for the spaghetti meatballs. The food is good, but not too crazy about the dessert. The ambience is nice, with chandeliers. The service is average. I would definitely come back here.
Always great food at an awesome price, love the atmosphere and endless sour dough bread
First time here. Food was what I'd expect from Old Spaghetti Factory, so nothing special. I love the original, but this was okay. The server seemed really tired and kept forgetting stuff, but was super friendly and courteous. I'll be back.
Had a great dinner here! Our server Jace was excellent! Food was delicious. Nice family experience. Thanks again Jace for always giving 100%
Great food, and offered with an all included option to affordably get some appetizers, main meals, dessert and tea or coffee. I absolutely love what they do with the stained glass windows and all their different lighting styles, makes the place look beautiful.
I really enjoyed going here! The food was really good and the service was amazing! The price is a little much for some of the items you get ($21.00 for a chicken parm) but other than that it's good!
A great family restaurant. We love coming to this place once in a while. The food is great the service is always fast. The sea food Alfredo fettucine is my favorite. My son loves the baby back ribs, my doughter enjoyed the chicken ravioli and my wife had the steak. All our meals were great. The atmosphere is family friendly.
Hi and thank you. I don't go out much to restaurants. But my mother is out from BC. So this week we have gone to several along the same class as here. Thus far we have been disappointed with them. You staff and food changed that. We all loved it there and would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. We'll be back. Again thank you.
Great food, reasonable prices, excellent staff
Neat environment. Prompt Service, great customer service by Trish and nice delicacies.
Meal type
Great food, great staff and great manager.
Always a good choice. Fast and friendly service, great atmosphere and consistently tasty food.
Pretty good food, server was very good, down side, just too noisy. At Times could not hear son over head music not correct for friendly conversation. Back ground music should not over power conversation.
Awesome thanks. Have been to this Marlborough location a few times and each and every time has been fantastic!! Great experience from the welcoming, atmosphere the very pleasant service from the server Amilia. Food as usual was awesome from the first part of the meal, fresh warm bread with 2 kinds of butter, tasty drinks evev the water! Desert, coffee all delicious AND, all included with the cost of the the main meal. What an amazing value. Thanks for the great dinner experience. We'll definitely be back and recommend this location. 5 GOLDEN STARS.
Meals include coffee, soup/salad, and ice cream. However the bread is stale. There was a chemically smell inn the air like Lysol (at least smelled clean but doesn't mix well with food) Service was good.
Environment is good, retro, and easygoing. Waitress is polite and patient. I ordered spaghetti with meat ball, and it was just ok for me.
Meal type
Good restaurant. Friendly staff. Our server Brody was great and fast. He had to serve a 12 top and he did well.
Bread, soup or salad, entree and dessert included with the price. Good value. Some portions could be a little larger. But everyone was satisfied. Great staff on our visit
The family and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Trish, the manager, went out of her way to make us feel welcome and our server was great as well. And the food? Let’s just say we had to roll our way out! Delish!
Went there tonight for dinner. Our server Anthony was super great. Very quick to get our drinks and take our order. The food was fantastic. Very fresh and tasted delicious. Definitely would go here again.
Always Upgrade to spinach salad when I order managers special for take out. Staff always friendly!
We were ignored for at least 10-15 mins after being seated. Waiter was not seen for quite a while. Another waiter/supervisor noticed and asked if we'd placed an order yet. He did apologize and get the ball rolling. Was told they had run out of the pasta I requested but then brought out what I had requested. Waiter then disappeared again and therefore couldn't request more bread. Overall did not come up to standard. Toronto's Spaghetti Factory is far more ahead with it. What a shame.
Food was okay. Pricing was good. They don't have parking so you have to pay for your own parking to visit the restaurant. That was the last time I'll be there because of the parking issue.
The service is always good and the food is decent (as far as mass-produced pasta goes...)
Great service, friendly staff,good food. Good value with Bread, salad/soup and dessert included with the entree.
Food wasn't the best but service was excellent.
Super good food and it is super cheap. The atmosphere is homey feeling. The food is great and the icecream is even better. You can get tea to, all for one flat price. Service is always fast and friendly great place for a group of friends or family.
Our server Conner is doing a great job. Not only treating my table well, but the table across from us. Even after closing he is fun, positive and willing to give same level of service without rushing his tables.
Our group of four went on Saturday Feb.24. Very busy restaurant and I am glad we made a reservation. Our server was Nichelle (yes with a 'N'). She was prompt, friendly and informative. Our food was pretty good and the service was excellent considering it was a busy restaurant.I would definitely return.
Thumbs up. Keon was our server today, He just made our night. It was being lovely experience with him. He is very friendly and attentive always came to our table with a sweetest smile on his face. Even though when we were there they were about to close but still he made time to visit our table whenever we needed him. Thank you so much Keon for this wonderful service. We will definitely come back again.
The pork ribs were smokey goodness with crispy fries the service was adequate and the soup was ok but a little serving.
Consistent good food, great attentive service in a relaxed family atmosphere. The best part is the really reasonable price for a truly all inclusive meal.
Amazing place! The layout is nice and open so you don't feel like you're squished. We had plenty of room behind our table to put our stroller that it wouldn't interfere with anyone. The decor was very cool. Had a nostalgic, antique feel but still modern. Food was excellent and our server, Andrew, was one of the best servers we've ever had. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. Their coffee is very good as well. This will definitely be a place we take the family again :D
It's what you would expect from The Old Spaghetti Factory. It's a decent place to bring the family if you want a low-stress restaurant where your kids can colour while they wait for their meal.
Our waiter was stoned and smelled of pot. My husband's steak was so undercooked that it bled. Our pasta was cold. Thing was, our waiter couldn't be found as once he had dropped our food at our table, he disappeared and we didn't see him again for over 30 minutes. Not impressed at all. The OSF in Gastown and New Westminster (both in BC) are amazing compared to this place.
The food is very good. And the staff are pleasing, and always willing to serve you, with a smile.
Founded in 1969 by Guss Dussin, The Old spaghetti factory is an italian style chain restaurant based out of Portland, Oregon. The Old Spaghetti factory serves you the delicious dishes with fresh ingredients and at reasonable prices. They have all inclusive menu. All Entrées are free of cost which included : 1. Sourdough Bread with Regular butter and Garlic butter. I am totally in love with sourdough bread from now on. 2. Minestrone Soup: An italian soup made out of vegetables like beans, onion, carrots, celery etc. Soup was refreshing and healthy. 3. Crisp Salad: Enjoy the crispy collection of lettuce, carrot, cabbage etc in one plate. After the delectable entrées, we proceeded with the main course: 1. Roasted Garlic Grilled Chicken: Linguine noodles tossed with garlic butter, served with garlic and lemon marinated grilled chicken breast were scrumptious and would love to have it again during my second visit. 2. Penne with Chicken: Penne tossed in basil cream sauce with sautéed chicken pieces and mushrooms is all you need to make your meal complete. 3. Blueberry Cheesecake: Always a lover of cheesecake, this delectable blueberry cheesecake with subtle vanilla flavour was a perfect dessert to end my day with. Also, in dessert they serve ice cream with no additional cost. We had: Spumoni ice cream: Another italian gem, it’s a molded gelato with layers of different flavours. We had the blend of Pistachio, cherry and chocolate ice cream. I still can’t get over it???? Rating: 1. Ambience: 4/5 (The old sphagetti has been given an antique look with wooden interiors and chandeliers) 2. Taste: 5/5 (Relishable and delectable meal) 3. Service: 5/5 (Staff is courteous and welcoming) 4. Presentation:4/5 5. Value for money:4.5/5????????
Came here for my partner birthday party and loved the service
Always my go to restaurant whenever I am downtown , very well priced , delicious food ,friendly staff and above all great location .
Food was ok. Service tho was lacking. I waited to get a refill on my drink. But by the time i got it...we were done dinner and asking for the check.
Service
Damien is an absolute gem. He brought us bread twice and was super helpful when the cocktails we ordered weren't what we were expecting.
Just came for a soup & salad lunch.. Service is always excellent, along side the warm bread & garlic butter.. but ...The French onion soup was pretty bland and served too cold. The oven baked dish wasn't even hot to touch, cheese was just melted in a big lump on top, not bubbling.. I do like my soups boiling hot, so I always expect them a tad cooler than I make at home, but this wasn't even close.. Caesar salad was decent.
We went here for our anniversary dinner. We both ordered the chicken parmesan. It was cooked well. (crispy outside and juicy chicken on the inside) The bread at the table was tasty as usual. The service was pretty good.
Haven't been in a long time, I thought the portions were larger, none the less still great food
The food was tasty, though a little over priced. Old Spaghetti Factory loses a star for not providing free WiFi to their customers.
Wonderful friendly service and food was quite good but the main course took a while to be served. That said we were given two desserts on the house to compensate for the delay, so we left happy.
Service was incredibly slow and it felt like we were an inconvenience to be there to both the host and waitress. Food was delicious though.
Pretty disappointing experience. I ordered take out. I had to call multiple times because I got put on hold and no one came back for 5-7 mins before I'd give up and hang up. Finally I ordered at the restaurant. I waited a very long time before anyone even came to the front and addressed me. The person who helped me was good but he seemed to be the only person doing anything - and everything - so he couldn't keep up. I got my food. Had to go back for plastic cutlery. The soup was half full and didn't have a single noodle or meat or anything in it, just broth. The food was overall subpar. This is not the first time I've been here and waited at the front for a long time for anyone to acknowledge me. I don't think I'll go back.
It used to be one of our favorites but the food the last couple of time we're not as well-done as it is used to be....the service is questionable! Sometimes great sometimes not so good
The Old Spaghetti Factory is a family favorite. We don't have one where we live and so such a treat when we are in Calgary! So excited to see that they have vegetarian and vegan options! The waiter we had was very knowledgable about the specialty menus.
Dine in
The bread was not that great and tasted old, the pesto linguine was dry and the service was extremely slow. This place used to be much better, very disappointed by the food and service.
My favorite place to eat in the area for a sit down dinner. I meet a friend here every month for dinner because we LOVE the service and the quality of food is great for the low inclusive price with bread, starter, main and dessert. Keep up the amazing work!!! Truly the sweetest people work here.
Not sure how you can't give this place 5 stars. Service is not only excellent it's exceptional. Food is good and about what you'd expect. We will definitely be back.
Nice place, good food. The seats are placed too close together though, no elbow room.
Food was fantastic. Clean atmosphere and friendly staff.
Had a great dinner here! Our server Jace was excellent! Food was delicious. Nice family experience. Thanks again Jace for always giving 100%
Our waitress was awesome we all got really full we loved the food
Price and Taste is always good Its not super good dish but with that price i think it is great. Service is also great. easy to dine in and enjoy my meal.
Food was great and the service was good too.
It was good, for pasta. Not as good as the one in Toronto but decent.
Great place to go with kids. Reasonable prices and something for everyone on the menu. I have 4 teenage daughters. One is veggie, another only eats fish and a third is a committed carnivore. So one gets the spaghetti with brown butter sauce, the second gets a salmon pasta and the third gets ribs. A decent steak for me and we are all happy.
Service was great if you feel like you are being rushed to: 1) order drinks, moments later 2) order food... moments later the salad came, then a moment later the main dinner came along with the over cooked pasta. Not usually what one can expect from old spaghetti factory... this location, definitely is what one can expect.
Loved the ambience. Very good authentic italian food. Good value for money. Lasagna is a must try.
Very consistent food. Good with my allergies.
I've been here twice now and everyone is super nice and give excellent service! It's an excellent restaurant with comfortable seating! 100% recommend ????
Good food, good value, comfortable atmosphere. Pretty hard to go wrong.
Wow did not expect to receive some of the best service in town. I was so impressed with our Server April she was so helpful and happy the whole time. Super efficient and was informative on the menu. I got the Spaghetti with Meatballs and added spicy sauce. I was also impressed with the price point for the quality and amount of food we received. Will definitely be going back soon. Amazing job and thanks again April for a wonderful evening.
I love this restaurant. You will as well, when you like Spaghetti. Spaghetti can be ordered in different styles. My favourite ist the butter Spaghetti with cheese. Yumme! Service is quick and friendly. Be aware: the restaurant at Eau Claire is no more existing. The new location is in north east. Go there!
It was very great! The server was very prompt and the food came fast. My spaghetti with mizithra cheese was very yummy and filling.
Very awesome. Great service and value. Soup or salad and dessert included with each meal. Had a great waiter and everything served was great!
Went out for lunch with my BFF today and our server Justin was fantastic! Friendly, efficient and personable service made for a great afternoon out!
Great service, prices and delicious food. The unlimited bread is great.
Haven't gone to a Spaghetti factory for a long time. Went to one with a group of people. Had Spaghetti with meat sauce. Now I remember why I don't go to this resturant chain anymore. Hello flavour?? This menu really needs to be revised with a more flavorful selection. For the price I paid, there are other options. Service was okay, if you really want to eat this type of food.
Initially last year I had a bad experience at this place. I was contacted by the manager and I dropped my poor review. This last outing was amazing. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Will return
I was extremely disappointed that upon opening again they have changed their menu. No more clam sauce!!! It is simple sauce to make.
Went there for a pickup order. When we got the food home the portion size of the Seafood Linguine was shocking for the amount of the entree, the salad was wilted and had a big on one of the leaves. Both the dishes were lacking sauce so the pasta was pretty dry. The spaghetti and meatballs I ordered was well below my expectations as well my salad was also all brown and wilted lettuce. We called the restaurant and the manager said he wanted to make it right. Today I received a $25 gift certificate for my bill of $60. Although my expectations were low to start with they definetly fell short . When someone finds a bug in their food generally you would waive the whole meal. Never going back there again.
Food excellent, service was great
Fantastic service! They were courteous on the phone, and the waitress in the restaurant was helpful and attentive. Drinks were never empty, and she helped us decide between foods with ideas we hadn't thought of. Food was great! Try the pesto linguine with chicken. ????????
Nice + relaxing supper, good food + excellent service
First time there is and was very disappointed with the food. The staff was great but it would have been nice to have hot food. I ordered steak and fries the steak and mushrooms were cold the fries were hot.
Overpriced and poor quality. The staff are great but there is only so much good service can overpower a restaurant for junior high school dates.
Decent lunch place with fast service and good prices but they try to upsell you like crazy and don't mention that it costs more for certain items like French onion soup. Also, the server was quite forgetful and tried charging for items that were included and forgot our ice cream at the end. Food is decent. Bread was cold.
Always overpriced for mediocre good, and the service wasn't great either... We had to ask for bread 3 times, and then she kinda threw it on the table. No water.
Took the kids here and enjoyed a nice dinner. Food is affordable and they are decent sized portions, I couldn't finish my order. I love the house Italian dressing. Great service!
We always have a great time here. Great service, can be busy or ded same service. They sure do know how to cook pasta. Have eaten many times, and everytime has been a good experience. This is my choice of a place to pasta food. Never tryed steak their steak yet. Wait time is very good we spend about 45 minutes here. Definitely will keep going. Staff are happy. Your never waiting to long in between appetizer and meal.
Went there 4 in the afternoon, not a busy time maybe 3 other tables. My order took 45 mins to get to me, no explanation or apologies. Requested the bill.... took awhile also. Sigh, I gave 2 stars because I like the food. Guess I have to go to the one up in Edmonton from now on.
I had placed an order through skip the dish and i ended up not reading the menu properly and ended up ordering a dish with bacon in it and for religion reasons i can not eat bacon. So i called the location explaining what had happened and not only did they prepare a new dish for me but personally came to deliver it for me. Amazing service and to top it off the pasta was delicious!
Excellent service but food was okay. They were very accommodating.
One of my favourite Italian restaurants to visit. Great decor and atmosphere; I like the historic feel to it. Service is great and the food doesn't disappoint.
Server was awesome. Food was okay; what I expected. That being said the food was super slow coming out of the kitchen. Aside: bathroom tap louder and not work properly.
Best customer service....veggie lazaniya was delious.....washrooms were clean which i see in every resturant b4 i decedie to go......but overall good experience...will go again.
I love the spaghetti factory been going to one for over 10yrs always satisfied with the food love the atmosphere and staff is friendly at this location
Excellent food and always great service!!
After walking out of East Side Mario’s tonight because they ignored us. We came to the old spagetti factory! I was so impressed with the quality and quantity of food. They seated us promptly upon arrival and the service was terrific. Thank you Jocelynn for taking such good care of us!
Great food. Always fairly quick from the time you order your meal to when you get it. The staff are always so friendly and very accommodating.
Best chicken parm in Calgary. Never had a bad meal or service. My definite favourite dinner spot. Remember to leave room for desert.
Bad service, their servers were serving food like they are at local Indian restaurants or food street. Totally unprofessional and ignored to pay attention to all included list for each person. Just served the food and didn't care much about cleaning or social distancing.
Service was great but the spaghetti sauce need some work. Tasteless.
I used to be a regular here, but I brought my wife here on Tuesday night and didn't even end up eating. After waiting about 10 minutes to even be acknowledged, we were told it would be a 30 minute wait for a table. The place was clearly less than half full... Disappointed
We've never had a bad experience here. Staff is nice, place is clean and prices are great. Through covid they've been excellent and safe. Great place for families and special occasions.
Decent Italian food, decent prices. I got the potpourri. All three sauces seemed pretty good. They clearly were understaffed when I went. Took a really long time to get orders in and the bill paid.
Had a fantastic lunch special of spaghetti with clam sauce and one meat sauce at the Marlborough location. At the end of the meal Colin was absolutely fantastic in fixing a horrible mistake my companion and I made. The staff were excellent and the atmosphere both homey and welcoming. Thanks again for the wonderful experience.
Food is OK... but forgettable... much better places out there for pasta. Service was good and servers attended well.
Food is great and very well priced and well portioned (had the chicken parmigiana). Most meals come with salad/soup and dessert with coffee as well. The restaurant is also very clean. Service was very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely recommend visiting the restaurant!
One of my personal favorite restaurants. They almost always have excellent service. The food quality is consistent. I love their sour dough loaves with garlic butter.
I love their Pot Pourri spaghetti. Delicious. Server Kenon was fantastic too.
Food is good, prices are basically the same as pre pandemic but portions (curbside pickup) were WAY smaller than before. Staff was courteous, friendly and efficient for curbside pickup. Online ordering was flawless and easy.
Wow! Came for a birthday party get together and was with a huge party, Courtney took care of all of us extremely fast and had no issues at all from the entire group. She is so efficient and friendly and I reccomend her by name if you are looking to book an event
So inexpensive for really decent food. The spinach salad has not changed since I was a kid and never should! So delicious
The food is great. Portions are a good size. We went with seniors and it was quiet enough to hear our conversation.
Meal type
Very good service. Great price for tasty foods.
Pretty good value for price. Even had gluten free options but not dairy free options. My boyfriend was hoping for a larger, more Italian portion of spaghetti and meatballs though, all the included side dishes more than made up for it. I had a lot of wilted lettuce in my salad but that could have been just that one time.
Wow we went this restaurant first time and we had really nice experience there service, food and overall atmosphere it's really great. Definitely we will come back t again ????
Great food and wonderful service. Hughly recommend
Manicotti noodles weren’t cooked. Spaghetti and meatballs gave my husband food poisoning and the bathroom where he went to get sick had one stall and a huge line so he puked in the parking lot. The waitress couldn’t be bothered to walk around to put down our food on the table so we passed plates down. the salad was drenched in dressing so it was inedible. My tea craft hadn’t been washed so I had orange peko tea with hints of mint that made my stomach upset the bread was over and under baked only thing good was the ice cream... over all disgusting.
Won't go back, tasteless small portions and high prices. I had french onion soup which was tasteless, the reg size lasagna is tiny, the side salad comes with a blob of dressing on top which was way to much, had to get get clean soup spoons as both my spoon and my guests were dirty. Not good
Sat in the pub which was kind of a mistake as there was a bad draft and just a weird setup that wasn't very welcoming. I get that the bar side is never really as 'warm' but this was seriously lacking. Our spagetti came and the sauce was super dry and chunky, and there wasn't enough of it so 80% of my bites were just plain noodles. What tiny bit of sauce there was was pretty good (Spicy meatsauce/bolognese) but for what it's worth I would rather eat ragu from a can than this, at least I could have full sauce coverage. Only decent part was the bread I guess and even that wasn't warm and fresh like I remember. I've only been to the late Old Spaghetti Factory in West Edmonton Mall and it was always phenomenal but this one you can tell is managed by people that have no passion for this business.
Very Bland food, very very over salted! Drinks where dissapointing, My kids didn't even like it! ... service was ok, server seemed distracted... Had to remind her of things we had ordered, Wasn't a very good experience overall
I like the service. And they entertained us even though it was about to close. Food is great. They have options for vegetarian.
Food was above par which is totally normal here. The staff was on their best behavior and friendly. Since my favorite spaghetti sauce is the brown butter and mezithra cheese and I found out you can order 2 toppings I try a second topping each time. This time my second was mushroom and Alfredo. What an awesome combination. And to top it off the salad, endless bread with garlic butter, spumoni icecream and coffee or tea is included for $15 and change! They cannot keep me away. Arrive before 5pm to avoid the rush.
Amazing staff amazing food we end up doing most of our family events here like birthday parties Mother’s Day Etc. Just an amazing place to go and be with family and friends and a nice relaxing environment
Recently I went to this location and they did not have a chief on staff that knew what a white sauce was or how to cook. Ended up walking out because they were unable to feed me considering I am allergic to sauces. Very disipointing considering I have always had great luck at the old spaghetti factory. Sad to see a company like this switch to pre-made sauces without chiefs that know how to cook. Would not recommend.
It's The Old Spaghetti Factory! How can you go wrong? The food is amazing and is topped only by the service standards
Our server was fantastic! Food was great, drinks were better
Awesome Caesar salad , good lasagne and great clam chowder! Awesome Caesars too ???????????? so I had a few doublezezezez Lol ????????
We had an amazing dinner and drinks...food tasted great! Only a few small minor things ... please check that lettuce is all crisp and not brown and ensure enough dressing. Don't bring hot food when we're eating our salads :( ..very disappointed that by the time we got to our main meal it was almost entirely cold.
This is a tough to write review. I love The Old Spaghetti Factory..Kots of great menories of significant birthdays,mine and friends..The spaghetti and meatballs,and Chefs special half mushroom half meat sauce were spot on.. but its the other parts of the food experience..they are using bag salad rather than prepping fresh salad,small de5ail but important especially to customers who are at an age where sslads are important and looked forward to,as well as the fresh bread..it was fresh, but what used to be i believe baked fresh in house, or baked fresh for them,just seemed like more store bought just not the fresh fresh bread if yesteryear...Really its management decidions based on bottom line and Im sure maximizing profits for those at the top, while its the incredible front line staff doing all the hard work, so 5 stars for staff and 1 for the decision makers at the top,whoever they may be..Next time I will go downtown instead of Marlborough to compare and see if the old way is still alive there.
Food was good as usual, as was the service despite the long wait. Seemed a little pricier than I remember though!
The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was a good price, great tasting and generous portions. I really like the decor there. It's a nice place to bring the family. You will never leave hungry. I highly recommend the French onion soup. It is the best I ever had. Everyone I go It is consistently delicious. I will be back
Its was a great experience! Both host and server were very polite. Service was quick and food was good. Better than many "fancy" restaurants.
This place is OUTSTANDING!! We had a large group of ten people and the staff was accommodating for us! Our waitress was amazing, our drinks were never low. The food was fantastic and I left on a full stomach. The atmosphere and building is tremendous. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, as I will be returning!
I love this Old Spaghetti Factory for so many reasons: a. Great location with plenty of parking spots b. Amazing interior with lots of tables c. Obviously great food with many options d. Friendly staffs and wonderful service e. Maintain COVID protocols so well If you are looking for good food and great time, this is a must place to visit!
Was the best meal we had in a long time from anywhere. Our waitress Katelyn was fantastic and very friendly,we will be back definitely
Having visited multiple locations, the Calgary one offers some big positives. The location is spacious, clean, and the parking lot is very big. The meals are very well prepared and thus far I have not had one that lacked in any ingredient or quality. Highly recommend this restaurant especially for the price. The food isn't exactly mind blowing and if expensive taste is more for you, your needs would be best served somewhere else. However for the value nothing can beat this chain.
This is the BEST place for dinner. The service is always amazing, all the staff members are very friendly (and forgiving when you can't pronounce what you want order haha) I've come here many times with friends and family, as well as date night. Honestly, I don't think there's another restaurant in this entire city that can match the service and atmosphere of OSF.
Always good food, good atmosphere and good service. Never had a bad experience here.
very, very slow. 30 minutes after seating before drinks were served and over an hour before we received our meals. Food was great.
I've come in and tried your resturants again, my review has changed. The Waitress was very personable, and professional. The food was delicious. I'll be coming back again..:)
Really pleasant staff amazing food great deals never disappoints. prompt response from management on issues faced
Never disappoint us, always being your big fans, (Especially Thank you Sever April)
Great food, wonderful service and best value you will find anywhere! For the price of just one entree (approx $15), you get a starter salad, your entree, a scoop of ice cream and a coffee! This would easily be double the price at any other pasta place.
Service needs work waited forever just to get drinks and service also found a hair in food they did not discount bill was not impressed
The server Conner was absolutely amazing! Obew if my best experiences at a restaurant so far! Thank you for the amazing service Conner!
Our waitress Emilie was awesome. She was so friendly and courteous. Also offer us great icecream at end. Great service and amazing food. Thank you guys!
Great food and good service all for an affordable price.
Over 2 hours through skip the dishes, their idea of a solution, here's desert, absolutely brutal customer service on both ends
Excellent food and service. Thank you Vanessa
Went for lunch with my Aunts and Cousins. The Managee, Kelvin, I think his name was. Fabulous. There was only one server on, they just opened and the place filled up immediately. Service was so smooth. Food is not to die for but worth $, I was bring something home. The chicken parm
Excellent service friendly I recommend Especially My waitress services Excellent thank you,
Excellent service! I forgot the name of our server but she was a taller girl with dark hair. Everything was delicious and would go back again!
Friendly staff, clean seating and tables, and decent food! It's a pretty good place for a nice lunch. The meals are reasonably priced as well!
The cook is great at their job and the waiters were fast and nice
Very decent place to eat if you're looking for something better than fast food but not wanting to break the bank. A nice waitress who was in training served us and showed great hospitality, saw we were running low on the sour dough bread and immediately offered a refill. Food arrived in a timely manner, was served hot and tasted delicious. Only thing that was considered a 'complaint' was for the portion size to money ratio. All in all, I would return and try out different dishes off the menu. Cheers
We went there for my birthday. They forgot to check for online reservations, so we had to wait a bit once we got there. They were also slow to get to our table to take our order, but the waitress was good. The food was good as always.
Love their food, service and setting. Good place for birthday dinner.
Service was excellent, price was cheap, complementary bread and icecream, the main was just meh, but you get lots for what you pay for.
Meh. Disappointing. Service to seat was slow. Open tables but people were made to wait. Food was so so. The ribs were dry and tasteless. The onion soup started off with a nice flavor but was sooo watered down it quickly became tasteless as well. I don't feel this restaurant gives value for the $. I'd rather hop across the street to Olive Garden. Won't return.
Delicious food! Wonderful customer service.
Place is nice food for sure not the best specialy they dont use home made pasta and sauces as weel not best taste
Food was fine. Their AYCE offers bread, tea & ice cream with some dishes.. Service is slow & inconsistent. Sometimes they treat you well while sometimes the opposite.
Very dissatisfied with my experience, my. Chicken parmigiana was under cooked my daughters pizza was over cooked and had very little cheese on a cheese pizza.. Manager Jace didn't seem to be very well mannered either got mad at our server in our eye view. Use to love going here but honestly feel like things are really going down hill. Will not return.
Its reasonable. You get a fair share. It's not OH WOW that pasta is delicious, however I only had the spaghetti that came with the chicken parmigiana. The chicken parmigiana was good but it was all wet below and lost a lot of the crunch. Service was good everything was good.
Can never go wrong with the Old Spaghetti Factory, very clean, great Covid-19 protocols in place, felt very safe. Great service, food excellent.
So much food! Always excellent quality and delicious. Even the lunch specials are huge and I regularly leave with extras no matter what I order. They are amazing about anything allergy sensitive as well. I have been there basically any time of day and they always get it right. Also an any type of venue. I have had business lunches and dinners here, as well as romantic dates, girls day, casual lunches everything. The staff are all amazing and knowledgeable about the food and options. They are all spectacular.
Sauce tasted microwaved. The food was bland, good service from the waitress, just surprised they're even open honestly, Applebee's level of quality.
Dine in
Excellent service. The meal was not too bad either and it came out in a timely fashion.
I love the old spaghetti factory. This one is a decent one that I do enjoy coming to. Good service and good. The meals come with SSA applies (salad or soup) and dessert (ice cream) all rounded into one nice price. Good complete meal, and generally good on your wallet too!
Had a nice quiet dinner on Thanksgiving Sunday. Really nice servers, great food, overall wonderful experience.
This location is not near what it was a year ago. The food was very disappointing! Portion sizes are about half of what they used to be. It took forever to receive our drinks and food. I felt sorry for the staff, the sections were to large for them to adequately handle. The only reason I gave 3 stars was because our server was friendly and doing her best under the circumstances. Will not be returning to this establishment
I dont want to be very long winded, but with 2 adults and 2 children who were very hungry and sunbaked after a day at the zoo, we sat at this restaurant for an hour and a half and we did not get to eat. The son wanted cheese pizza, which they ran out of a half hour after we had ordered. Then the husband ordered the fettucini and we were informed after another 30 minutes that they had run out of alfredo sauce for his meal. The long island ice tea that I had ordered was terrible and had to be sent back. The bartender had forgot to add the cola. We even received a special visit from the manager after an hour and a half of waiting for food only to decide to go back to the hotel and order pizza hut. This was july 24, 2019 at approx. 6:30pm at the Marlborough location. Thanks for nothing OFS!
Serve varieties of delicious spaghetti with different flavors. Great taste and delicious Food served. Services are good and friendly by friendly staff
Food was great! Service was good till the end. Would have given 5 stars but had to wait 15 mins for the check.
Food was pretty good but our waitress was horrible. Building was pretty but love the one in the NE more
Food is great. Customer service is terrible. I went into acute anaphylaxis after eating here, have requested from head office, over social media and emailed this location specifically to ask for ingredients to see what I had was hospitalized for, and zero reply from anyone. As someone who works in restaurants, I find this very unacceptable, as, like I said, I was hospitalized because of the food here
Very good selection of traditional pasta dishes plus sandwiches with an Italian twist. Good atmosphere.
Was pleasantly surprised. First off, our waiter, Anthony, was exceptional and extremely timely. The food was fast, and very delicious. Despite my order that had many changes and it being the holiday season, everything was perfect.
We went an hour before closing up and tried to make a reservation the people were so crappy about us reserving a table we almost didnt, but went anyway to get there and the place is empty. Very frustrating having so much hassle reserving a table to have the place to ourselves but horrible service
Great service! Super friendly. And tasty hot food. It made my daughter's birthday!
Was a good time with family! Food was good fast and waitress very friendly and always asking our large group if we needed more drinks, bread etc..
Great food exceptional service! Lunch is a great time to go its not too busy and great lunch specials.
While the lasagna I ordered was way too hot that it wasn't very enjoyable, the pasta my boyfriend got was delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere of the restaurant had a very homey and relaxed feel. I will definitely return and try a different dish. Plus the complimentary ice cream was a great way to end the meal!
Outstanding business that supports the Local Veterans Food Bank of Calgary!!!! Highly recommend dining at this restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent service!!!! ????
Good food. Waited in my car for over 20 minutes past the time we had pre ordered our food for. ????
We come here and love the food and salad/ bread , everything ! Only problem is my they don’t sell their house Italian salad dressing like all the other pasta places and my girlfriend is obsessed with it! Start selling your dressing lol my …
Our server was fabulous. Great food, beyond decent prices.
Amazing! All the food was fresh and took less than 10 minutes for each thing. Then I was paying and they said thank you for buying something extra and I asked what do you mean extra? They said the salad and I said my waitress said it came with the meal. And they said nope and charged me extra anyway. Talk about money wanting waitress said my aunt.
We came here after a very hard and long day of work. The best service we have had inin a very long time. It was the old fashioned service. Attentive, fast, outstanding. The food was fantastic. If you want a great evening with the best service ask to have Anthony serve you. He is amazing.
Friendly and warm manager, decent food, great overall value for what you pay. My wife's lasagna was so-so and my chicken parmesan was tasty.
Food was excellent, decore is awesome too but few things did spoil it for us.. for the price we paid the service was not top notch the server barely smiled n looked low on energy. I looked at the floor and there was spaghetti strands and salad pieces and bread crums spilled all over as if someone cleared the table and shoved the leftovers under. I ordered red thai currey linguini with chicken which was delicious, my wife ordered spinach salad which she raved about. Our companions praised the French onion soup and the garlic chicken too. But I found the garden salad lacked presentation, chicken strips were over cooked and I asked for leamonade with no ice, I got a glass half filled with ice. I shud have brought it to the server's attention but that's just not me. So all my stars go to food none for service and presentation.
Old spaghetti factory is good as always. Food is usually good quality with good service. On the rare occasion where there was an issue with the food they handled it well and were quick to deal with it without excuses. No complaints.
On all other visits I rate it as a 5 for food and service. However, I give a 2 star rating this time because of bad service. The food was great as always but the waitress, Sinythia, was not the best. I am not hard to please and at least expect the bare minimum for service. She seemed more interested in other tables for some unknown reason and expected a big tip for poor service. She was more interested in fluttering her false eyelashes than anything else. Our bread was served without plates so we had to ask for them. Not once did she come around to ask how everything was for us. I had to ask for coffee that is included in their regular meals. Long before I felt it was getting to the end she presented us with our bill and never asked if we wanted our coffees refilled and the same with bread. She never asked if there was anything else we needed. All in all she could do more. I don't think she is a beginner because it would show. We are willing to overlook beginners but not sloppy service.
Great taste, must be a great chef, also served with a smile behind a mask ☺️ friendly staff all around.
Awesome pick up service, I always call to pick up, keeps the money in the company. Food quality is superb, sourdough bread my favorite, and the spimonti ice cream mmmm tasty.
Haven't been for about a year but you could sure tell the difference. Food tasted and looked like it was store bought and premade. Their tossed salad looked like it came from a bag in the grocery store and the noodles and sauce looked otherwise as well. Disappointed as I used to recommend The Old Spaghetti Factory to anyone looking for a good Italian meal with the extra's included.
Had to wait a while but worth the wait.
staff are friendly but tend to forget to take complete order. furnitures are old and damaged. i.e. the chair I was sitting on was held together with glow. very poor repair job too. our food went to a different table. salad portions are small. prices are reasonable
Everything about this place is awesome. The waitress was super amazing and the food was fantastic. I am impressed.
Ordered a simple spaghetti with meat sauce and a glass of wine. It was delicious and staff were friendly.
Amazing place, loved the ambience. Food variety is nice and their offering of packages is a kool concept. With breads to soup n custom Pasta we got perfect evening family dinner. In the …
The food was good but the service was not. When we first walked in we decided to sit at the in the bar, the only booth was still dirty so we waited and eventually asked if one of the servers could clear it and we were told it was reserved, even though there was no sign. By the time we finished our dinner 2.5 hours later at a much smaller table no one had sat there. It took forever to get our server and every time she came back with something whether it be menus, drinks, starters, or food it was a very long wait. My boyfriends water glass was dirty and our server pretty much said "oh sorry that happens sometimes", and then his meal, which he asked for with no mushrooms on due to an allergy, came loaded with mushrooms and again she said "oh sorry they do it out of habit". The manager came out for a quick apology and gave him a $10 off coupon which I believe he forgot to even take off the table as after such a long dinner (nearly 3 hours due to all the waiting) we were in a rush to leave.
Really good food, server was quick to take our order, then he got really busy, but our service didn't suffer because the Manager stepped in to help out. Love the fact that you get a complete meal at a very good price. Definitely recommend to family & friends.
My seafood linguini with alfredo sauce was flavourless the service was awesome we go often so I hope next time its better
Service
We love the old spaghetti factory. Affordable prices for dinner. Great tasting spaghetti. Great place to go eat before a movie at eau Claire.
Dine in
I usually love this place but the food was bland. My son and I did not eat our meals. On the plus side we had a good waitress and the spumoni never disappoints.
Didnt realize a $15 dish has a side, main, dessert and beverage and all of them equally as tasty...love it!!
The food here is definitely better quality than the downtown location. What I like about the old spaghetti factory is that you’re getting a complete meal including dessert for a set price. Great value and great flavour make for a great dining experience!
Great service! Great price! My only complaint is the server did not advise me that my meal comes with a soup or salad at no extra cost. The mussles were fantastic
Service
Dinner
Service was excellent .food tasty and servings a bit large. Very enjoyable!
Great service, wonderful food and the best value our family has ever found. The four of us can eat at a reasonable price.
Good but it was so busy that's why we're waiting so long and service was too long they will give wrong order. However, they give us one free dessert.
I have been here quite a few times in the past and the food was always delicious. Figures that the first time I have family down and rave about the place that the food was bland, tasteless and small portions. In Old Spaghetti Factory's defence however, every time I have been here in the past have been great experiences.
The meals and service at this location is amazing!! Always friendly and with a great attitude though we are still in this pandemic there is positivity behind those masks!! Thank you to the Staff.... Cheers folks!
The spaghetti is delicious, the clam chowder is great too, even though it doesn't taste like homemade, it was still good. The drinks are nothing to write home about, and the service is ok. The atmosphere is cozy. I would definitely come back here, especially when I have international visitors.
Very very slow service. Had to flag down the server numerous times and the place isn't even busy. If you want to spend 2 hours here then this is the place for you to go.
Always good food and worth the money. Paying for Parking sucks! but it's downtown, what would I expect. It's a really old joint that could use a facelift, especially on the bar side. Basement washrooms are odd. I wouldn't want to send a kid down there alone.
We come here and love the food and salad/ bread , everything ! Only problem is my they don’t sell their house Italian salad dressing like all the other pasta places and my girlfriend is obsessed with it! Start selling your dressing lol my girlfriend will pay top $ for it! Thanks for the great food and service.
Ordered for pick up from there about a month ago. They failed to send one of the kids meals. Advised nothing they could do about it and was supposed to receive a refund for the meal we never received. Still waiting on that.... will never eat there again!
I haven't eaten at an Old Spaghetti Factory for years. They never seem to be where I am at meal times. I should make more of an effort to go. The Factory has great food and the lunch specials are very good value
Incredibly unprofessional service. Server was trying to constantly up sell drinks without ever asking for identification. The tortellini pomedero my wife got tasted like watered down pizza. The steak I ordered was trash barely seasoned. The waiter was very bad for trying to get you to buy double shots when you’re trying to have a nice relaxing dinner even though you’ve consistently said no
Prices are low, but still seems not as good as it should be. Spaghetti should be easy, but was bland tasting. Old but for the most part clean restaurant, friendly staff.
Serves up some good pasta dishes with anything too fancy. Expect your typical old spaghetti factory restaurant with home style decor.
Nice place, great service, delicious food and fair price. I totally recommend the sandwiches from the lunch menu and the french onion soup. Don't forget to try their ice cream.
Fast food quality. We were expecting the same quality from Downtown restaurant but it was pretty disappointed. We will not go back to eat there.
The food is just delicious and the price is just so beautiful. Fast service. Waitresses are always friendly with a smile.
Our family had a great time here. Good food and good value. Connor our waiter was very friendly, helpful and very entertaining. He really added to the experience.
Great food, great service, great value. Love bringing the family here.
Wonderful atmosphere, great service, and good food. I would absolutely come back! It was great to be here with my family
Food was delicious and the service was great. It is a great place to bring a date :)
The Old Spaghetti Factory is a great place to go for some "old fashioned" hearty meal. We have been going to OSF for decades and the food is always predictably good. Since they closed the OSF in Eau Claire, we are so fortunate the Marlborough establishment is only a few minutes further away. A great place for a full meal deal - salad, pasta and ice cream dessert.
Great drinks and customer service but the food could be just a bit better for the price.
this is a very nice restauratn i used to go here with my wife before she divorced me but i still go to watch her and her boyfriend when they eat there but despite all of this it is still a cvery good restaurant and i like it a lit 5 star............ dale like
The whole experience is a must. The food is excellent, the service is excellent, the dining area is set nicely, the prices are also a good value for your dollar. Cheers.
Our meals were slightly colder than normal and the staff was unbelievably nice and accommodating and made sure we were happy. Very satisfied with the entire restaurant.
Great place good prices.. The food was exactly what you would expect. The service was amazing. Our server was mark very polite and attentive even though it was quite busy. Good clean and nice. The music was a good level for conversation. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic food. Fast and friendly service. The stained glass decorations and old style lights add character to the restaurant making it an excellent night out
Absolute worst dining experience in a very long time. Waited 45 minutes from end of app and soup to the main course. Main course was awful. The meatballs were cold and like mush. My friends chicken alfredo had 3 little bites of chicken hardly any sauce, so was very dry. Her husband had cold, mushy meatballs as well. The server came back with a big smile and said "The manager took care of it, he took the meatballs off the bill!" Well, I would certainly hope so because theres no way we were going to pay for them. That was the Absolute, very least he could have done... and was all he did. No apology, nothing to make this gong show of an evening out any better. Needless to say, that was our first and last visit to The Old Spaghetti Factory. Had the manager handled it properly and at least come himself to aoplogize, we would have given it another shot. Too many other restaurants in the city to waste any more time on sub-par food and poor service.
Always enjoyable coming here. Fresh bread with creamy whipped butter, crispy salad with creamy salad dressing, great friendly and attentive waiter. The pasta was delicious. Always plan on returning.
$40 for two people is always going to be a great deal but the portions got smaller in the last few months. Definitely worth the money if your wallet feels a bit light.
Food here is delicious. Great options for vegetarians..Staff is friendly, beautiful ambience.
The food is really good. I always have a hard time deciding. Clean Friendly staff. Checked on us enough but not to much. Which is nice when your have lunch with an old friend and catching up.
I wasn't expecting much and it was much better than I expected the salad was just a bunch of iceberg lettuce ripped up in not very uniform sizes but the pasta was way better than I thought it would be it was Al dente and spicy and we had a great server
A part of the best date day I've ever had. Food and service was really good too.
Attended a baptismal family get-together here, the excluded area was perfect for us 30+ guests. Good food, ambiance was just right for reconnecting with friends/relatives.
My mushroom alfredo was basically just dry noodles with maybe a tablespoon of sauce.
Very welcoming place. Friendly staff. Sean & The bar mgr set examples for Hospitality.keep up the good spirit.
Dinner
Poor service. Not like the other branch downtown. We were ignored when we sat down. Up until the manager passed by who sighed a bit when we called him. He did apologize but the impression has been made. He looked stressed and tired. They don't seem understaffed as there were a lot of servers (who ignored us when we were waving our hands). Hope they improve in the long run.
The last time I was at OSF was waaaay back when they had a spot at Eau Claire and the food then was pretty bland. Massive improvment at the Marlborough location. The food and service were fantastic!! Highly recommend the mozza triangles. I had the rainbow tortelinni with Alfredo and it was so good. Their Alfredo sauce is delish! Our server Kaitlynn was busy but she was most awesome. I hope she did well in tips tonight, she deserves it. We will definately be back the next time we're in the NE.
We've come here many times. This time, with our family, we hoped to have a great experience taking the grandchildren here. It was incredibly disappointing, food wasn't good for anyone, the service was shameful, and we won't be going back.
For the price point food was good. Staff was very nice and helpful. Would come again for sure.
The best service. I had only 30 minutes for lunch and they ensured I was out of their on time with a full stomach and a smile on my face. Plus it is tasty!
I love the osf one of my favorite resturants. I love how everything's included in the price. You get the bread the soup or salad the entree then desert and coffee or tea. It rocks
Great dinner and movie deal. Fantastic gluten free food. Must try the mizithra cheese and browned butter pasta! They also sub bread for corn chips and salsa!
Conner was a amazing server, he always checked on our table to make sure we were okay and that our food was exactly how we wanted. Employees like that are what make a work environment so comfortable and professional because you can tell Conner genuinely cared about how we were doing at our table. So Thankyou for a amazing experience Conner you were amazing and I hope you get recognition for your amazing service
Honestly one of my favourite restaurants. Every main meal includes three courses and is super cheap. With the free bread, you always leave full. Amd now there's a lot of gluten free and even vegetarian options, so it's great to go solo or in a group.
Guys, don't go here. I have a usually strong stomach, but their calamari went straight right through me. It was undercooked and slimy, and so was the lemon they served with my water. Their cutlery were all dirty and there were three of us. Don't eat here, or you'll be paying to poop bad, not for good food.
Ordered online for pick up after a day of skiing to get home and see there was so spaghetti with the chicken parmesean. Brian the manager was very helpful and accommodating to have it delivered and even with a free dessert. He was very apologetic and wanted to make sure I was taken care of. Will definitely be coming back here.
Went here with a group of 8 (3 kids). We called in advance and was told there is no need for reservations. We were seated as soon as we arrived. We sat for 20 minutes before a waitress even came by with bread. 10 minutes later someone else came back and took our food order and that is when we all ordered our drinks. After waiting almost an hour for our food to arrive, we had to catch a different waitress yet again to ask when we would receive our meal. Half of the food was cold when it arrived and the steak was over cooked. Don't think I will be returning to this location. Also asked for a plate for our 9 month old child and was charged $9.95 for the plate that the baby only ate a few bites. We have gone to The Old Spaghetti Factory in Edmonton multiple times and have never had an issue.
Great food and great service!
Our waitress was no where to be found! We couldn’t get any refills as other servers didn’t want to help since we weren’t part of their work load. The food was bland and greasy. I had to tilt my plate to drain the oils which filled 60% of my plate. Quality just was not there. The restaurant was so dirty too. Food and utensils all over the floor. Some customers had to kick things out of their way.
Best pasta in town fresh and yummy reasonable price. Love it my go to now.
Service was good but the food came out lukewarm. Very patient and polite waitress. Food was good.
For the price you can't beat it. Get the "all included" meal. Soup or salad, bread, main meal then ice cream. Plus, if it's your bday, the meal is on the house.
Well the soup isn't as good as the old downtown location that closed but I just had the best damned chicken alfredo ever. My only complaint was the portion size, it seemed small so I ate a lot of free fresh bread.
Well the food was great as always. The waitress was awesome. Chatted about travels in Europe on past vacations.
Tasty food and friendly, attentive service. High quality and low prices. I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do.
Food and service was excellent. I had chicken parmesan with side of spaghetti. The noodles went on forever.
Food is amazing really really amazing but at front desk expect long wait before writing your name, placing you on waiting list or to sit you down.... Would have rated 5 stars but since that that incident I believe 3 is appropriate
They certainly do not have a chef! Even a reasonably experienced line cook should be able to cook a "rare" steak sandwich. Not once but twice!
Service
Hi There, I have sent a message on the "feedback" button via the website this past Tuesday. As of today I still have not received a single response. Our experience at Old Spaghetti Factory Marlborough was terrible. Granted I believe our server was very new, she was not being supported and the "floor supervisor" honestly should not be a supervisor. Our family has visited this location numerous times since they have opened and some visit 1-2 times per month.. Not one time has it taken over 2 hours for a lunch with 2 children and still had to take it to go as it was not ready. We arrived at 1:55 pm and ordered our drinks and the children's meals so they would come our sooner then later as we all know, when children get hungry it can turn a great experience into a very unpleasant one. we ordered two cheese pizza meals and a side of fries. Drinks took longer then expected for all non alcoholic beverages. when our server returned we then ordered the Mozzarella triangles for the adults and our meals.. Two lunch manicotti, one with french onion soup and one with minestrone. Approximately 20 minutes later so about 30-35 into service we receive the 2 cheese pizzas, french fries and the mozzarella triangles. The fries were a very dark brown, I tasted one and they were definitely burnt. I asked the server who brought them to have them remade to which we received some attitude. Firstly, the kitchen should have never sent items cooked that way, secondly the server should have questioned and asked for a remake. (This "server" ended up being a supervisor). I was very surprised that my children's pizzas took well over 20 minutes for cold pizza. Going into 1 hour of service the server comes to me to state they no longer have french onion soup. (1 hour!) They were waiting for the kitchen to put a new stock on. As we are well into an hour of service for lunch I requested a tossed salad instead, 5 minutes later the server then comes back to ask type of salad and I again stated a tossed salad and I asked for ranch at this time. I then asked for my lunch manicotti's to be packed up as my kids were ready to go and we still had not received our soup/salad. About 5 minutes later a plate of salad appears with numerous brown leaves and some of the soggy brown mushy leaves under the mound of dressing. There is only so much characters I can write. I would love for someone to be in contact with me for the rest of the info. Thank you
Really good experience as with other OSF locations. I really enjoyed my spaghetti with clam sauce. That being said, one of my party members felt their marinara was a bit watery. Might be better to stick with the meat sauce or cream sauces.
Food was good. Service was good and quick. Interior design of the restuarant was very nice. Very clean and well kept restaurant
Good food and great staff
I like this place. But I found quality was not great as it used to be. Calamari was not cooked inside. Minestrone soup was too runny and less ingredients... EDIT: Went there again and it took longer to get the order. Prices are high. Not really worth it anymore. Will avoid going there. Food quality is down...Found hair in food..
Been there twice and there was a hair in soup both times. The serving staff was very polite and the manager was professional about about the hair.
They claimed to not have our reservation when we arrived for dinner. So, they sat the four of us at a two top table. It was kind of cramped for my husband and in-laws. Everyone's food was good, but not great.
Really good location for dinner and birthday party and very delicious food.
Connor is a great server, Old Spaghetti Factory killed it with hiring this guy ????????. He was funny as hell and made the night super enjoyable ????. Highly reccomend getting him as your server ????. He made us all laugh! The food at this location was phenomenal and lots of seafood on our linguine and loved the food. I will be coming back for sure! Keep it up guys ???????? Keep killing it Connor ????????????????
The manager is amazing and very accommodating (especially during covid)
Amazing Food, Best place for family dinner out. Soups/Salads (Spinach) are the best. Kids loves the ice cream at the end.
Great value for good food. Most meals include bread, salad or soup , ice cream and coffee or tea. Service was good when I went, other than the small drink glasses filled with too much ice it was a good meal.
A charming large restaurant and bar that serves great food with primary emphasis on pasta. The lunch "all included" options are very good value for your money - soup or salad, entrée, ice cream and coffee or tea for a very inexpensive price. Only drawback for a 5 star rating was the apparent lack of a handicapped accessible entrance; there is however a handicap accessible washroom.
Food was awesome very quick service
Great service and food, highly recommend great family restaurant
Love the food, servers are polite and fast. I've only been here for lunch so I don't know about the Dinner rush.
Great portions for the price. I loved the Spumoni ice cream + it's so cool to see wine on tap!
Service was quick and dinner was good.
The service was great, good portions and great food.My wife and I love it there and will be back.We highly recommend this place.
Service was amazing, food even more so. Where can you go toasty that includes s appetizer, mains and dessert author costing an arm and a leg? Will definitely return!
Great place to have a sumptuous meal with family. Could be very busy on the weekends so make sure to reserve your spot in advance. Will be back for sure.
I love their food and dishes. Unfortunately, they closed their downtown location a couple of years ago. staff is always polite. Best customer service
The food and service were above our expectations. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this spot. Fantastic spot to take the family out for lunch.
Staff was great but the spaghetti and 3 meatballs with ketchup was a joke. And expensive...
One of my favorite restaurants. Great food and very fair prices.
Great value !! Really enjoyed our meals and service was way above average . Definitely will be going again
Decent service, cheap food, unreasonable prices considering cheap food, and useless management. Kitchen seems to always be crashing.
Took our friends out for dinner here and enjoyed it thoroughly. Spaghetti, meatballs, garlic bread that could make you Peel wallpaper with your breath, everything was delicious and our service was prompt and cheerful. We will certainly be coming back again!
Went for a late lunch and even though the seating took a bit the service and food were both great.
Awesome and amazing service, food and atmosphere. Went last night for a birthday. Glad I made reservation..Place was packed and very busy. Had Jace as server. Very polite and friendly. All staff here work together very well. My compliments to the chef. Spaghetti with mushroom sauce, absolutely delicious. Thank you so much to all staff.
Reliably good food!
Excellent for lunch. Great service, happy and courteous staff. Great meal, thank you.
Visited downtown Calgary location in Dec '17 in addition to Vancouver's old town location in March '17 - greeted by friendly staff first which was followed by great service and of course the food. Kids menu options were also very attractive and reasonably priced. Parking can be a challenge during busy times at both locations.
Was disappoint went into the old speghetti. The place was very quiet. But told there will be a 15 minute wait. There was maybe 10 tables in use.
The service is great and fast, they treat you very good. Of course, the food is amazing.
The food and atmosphere of this location is similar to other locations in the franchise. Unfortunately the poor service received made the deepest impression on our meal. It wasn't even busy in the restaurant and there was maybe a total of 10 tables of guests in the entire restaurant with their fleet of staff working. Our hostess was very good, courteous, prompt, and upbeat. Our server was entirely a different story. The entire meal she acted like we were a major inconvenience for her, even doing the basic duties of her job. She didn't refill our waters, check in to take our orders, asked what soup/salad we wanted with the meal, and didn't offer any drink for the kids meal. The entire time she seemed like she was just miserable and definitely made a negative impact on our meal. When we finished our entree, she didn't even ask about desert or the ice cream that all meals come with until we asked her. If a complete meal is what The Old Spaghetti Factory is known for, she sure isn't making that known by the way she's serving her guests. I like The Old Spaghetti Factory but I probably wouldn't go back to this location if I had a choice.
Food was great, service was good, was busy when we went.
Noticed portions are smaller than our visit in January, slow service, steak was terribly grizzly, pasta was very dry. Used to love this place.
So much food!!! Regular date night spot =) Recommended!
Affordable, love the managers special, with spicy meat sauce(not hot, just uses different spices than regular meat sauce) and the butter and mizithra. Bread soup or salad round out a decent sized meal, for a good price. Sara our server was also wonderful, and quick. Highly recommend.
The new location is beautiful and the service was nice, food good as always. I like that they offer salad as a main option with the 3 course meal.
PRO TIP- Making a reservation here is highly recommended! They were lined out the door with guests who had not made reservations. Keon, was the server here for a child's family birthday party and did a fantastic job! He may be quite young, but his singular focus and enthusiasm for ensuring his guests' satisfaction is exemplary. He even made the 7 year old birthday boy feel special by bringing many staff members over to the table to present the birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday. It felt amazing to participate in that as I had not seen a restaurant do this since pre-Covid days. There seems to be a really happy comraderie amongst the staff. They all pitch in to assist each other with running food, drinks and clean up. They are sincerely content with each other's success. The management must be quite strong here to guide such a culture of respect and team work. This place is so much better than the downtown one that used to be open. Especially the fact that there is tons of FREE parking. That used to be such a killer in Eau Claire when there was no free parking. The ownership here have a real winner.
Mediocre visit this time, but we won't hold it against you; an attempt was made to make it right. Sad part was that our rave reviews to our first time guests were negated by the experience. Hopefully they will give it another shot also.
I like the spaghetti factory.My favorite dish is the managers favorite dish.I like the way that the lighting fixtures ad decor.Nice staff also.
Went there for a later lunch. Showed up at 2:10 sat there for 20 minutes waiting for a waiter to take our order. Finally arrived and let us know he was new which is totally understandable tried to order the lunch sandwich and was told we couldn't order cuz it was 2:32 like seriously? So needed a minute and left him with our drink menu. Someone was seated behind us roughly 5 min after we arrive so come 2:50 no drinks no server but the people behind us got their ordered starter and drinks. 3 tables in the entire restaurant and youd swear it was packed. We politely told our server we would be leaving. Sadly disappointed in the 40 minutes wasted. Wont be returning until I have an entire afternoon to spend waiting.
I waited a week to give someone in management an opportunity to reply to my comments as per the guest feedback option on the website, but no one did. So I guess I’ll leave my comments here. My family and I arrived at 2:26pm for a 2:30 reservation. Took 6 minutes to even be acknowledged by anyone in the building and at least two people saw us. Counted 4 tables in the restaurant at that time. This was by far the slowest dining experience I’ve ever had. Took almost 40 minutes to receive my wife’s coffee. About the same amount of time for our starter salads. There was 2 servers and a host on plus I’m assuming who appeared to be a manager as there was a person that made a brief 20 second appearance on the floor and disappeared for the rest of our visit. An hour and 50 minutes is unacceptable for this type of dining experience at this time of day with that amount of staff on. I completely understand the current circumstances in which we live in and the stress of running a business as I run one myself, but there’s no excuse for the slow service and acknowledgment with one front of house person available for each table that was there. The server was nice, but couldn’t answer most simple questions without saying he’d have to check (sauce substitutions) and when I ordered a side of broccoli with our appetizer’s, he appeared to not know that was option. Everything was just slow. Refills, appetizers brought out spread apart. No quality check from a manager. Bread was brought out a few times which felt like it was to appease us but it was only warm at best once. Went to wash our hands at the end of the meal and the paper towel dispenser was empty. The manager asked if we were celebrating anything when he took my reservation on the phone and I told him it was my wife’s birthday. We weren’t expecting anything on the house, but why ask if you’re not going to at least acknowledge it with a simple “happy birthday”. I still believe it was good from a price point of view, but regardless of that, service still needs to be ”good” at the minimum but this missed the mark completely. Will not return and I definitely won’t recommend. Regards, Jeff
The Old Spaghetti Factory...what can you say? It's always consistent. Decent service, food doesn't disappoint and the prices are fair. It gets busy so make sure you are prepared to wait a bit if you are coming for dinner.
The food is good and the service, they should have different selections for those who are diabetic people who are diabetic can't eat pastas or they shouldn't raises their sugar levels high.
We have gone here a few times. Service has always been great. Staff know the menus and if not sure about something they have gone to ask. Kids had fun. Waitress on last visit made it very special for them. Recommend to check it out.
The food and the sevice was excellent!
I ate my lunch pasta with spicy sauce. It wasn't even look fresh not tasty. I mean it doesn't go with the name of the restaurant.
The dish I ordered was unfortunately a little bland. But digestible ???? However our server Brittany was awesome! She was sociable, kind, considerate and very friendly. I said I was vegetarian and she gave me a vegetarian only menu! Which, eventhough it was a simple gesture, it made my whole night! Dining at restaurants can be a troublesome endeavor for vegheads like me and it was awesome to know that there was a separate menu that was both vegan friendly and vegetarian! So awesome! Brittany made the whole experience highly enjoyable and worthwhile. Thank you! We will definitely be coming back to this location! Also there was a random spoon on the floor of the womens bathroom ????
Service was lacking, had the mussels for appitizers they were not good at all. (I know it's not mussel season and probably frozen). Then had the linguine Vongole. They say use olive oil, but I didn't taste any and way too much butter and the pasta was not al dente at all, too over cooked. The calms obviously come from a can that's why they only charge about $18. This place is always busy, probably because it's so cheap and people don't understand anything about good food and just come here to fill up. On the plus side, the wine was good and good value.
Delicious pasta. Large servings. Cozy ambience. Cheerful staff.
Delicious food. Stopped by here for dinner after I came from camping in the mountains.
Visited this location on Feb 21, 2017 for lunch... Food was amazing and I forget the name of the male server, but he was amazing too. The Marlborough location is now my favorite Calgary OSF location! See you again soon!
Love love the spaghetti factory, this one's not as good as other ones I've been to like the one in Banff but if you're looking to fix your mezithra craving it will certainly do the trick
The food is okay and there's often a long wait, both to be seated and for service. However it's one of the least expensive restaurants in the area and you always get a lot of food for your money. If you sit in the lounge area they have the same menu and you don't have to wait!
Went at a very busy time. Our server had a lot of tables to look after so tended to 'forget' a few times but was very apologetic and fulfilled request as soon as possible. Great portions so lots of left overs.
Excellent waiting staff, food is pretty good. This is the perfect place to go if you want a moderatly priced meal with good value for your money.
Friendly service, great pasta and the warm bread yummm.
There may be a bit of a wait on a busy night, but the beautiful blond bus boy will keep your eyes engaged while you wait, and then he'll be back after you've enjoyed an amazing meal! Awesome staff and even better food!!!
The "new" Old Spaghetti Factory is great. Really like the design and layout of the premises. Food is as good as ever at very good pricing. Liked it a lot.
Great food, that works out reasonably priced with bread, soup, or salad, coffee or tea, and ice cream provided free of charge with your meal...
Awesome! Loved the food. Wish my wife wasn't allergic to garlic.
Special thanks to Joe G. We were picky guests tonight and he was exceptionally accommodating. Food was delicious and very filling!
Great food. Good service. Didnt have to wait long for anything. Great place for spending time with friends and family. Highly recommend.
awesome food good service kitchen was backed up but they let us know so all good
