Great pasta dishes for good price! I was very glad we were able to walk in on a Friday night and get a table. The ambience and decor takes you back 100 years when this place was established and it's fascinating they still kept the same look and feel.

When we walked in we were early for our reservation, but helped and seated quickly. We were brought water and bread right away and our server was energetic and happy. menu is simple, but with so many options. A small appetizer is included, i had the minestrone soup, and I highly recommend. All food was fantastic, and with a free and upgradable dessert and coffee, I feel I had the whole package. The atmosphere was excellent and had us looking around and saying "hey look at that" all evening. I highly recommend!

My friends and I had the loveliest experience at the Spaghetti Factory. From the start the service was amazing. The host greeted us, asked if we have been here before (which we haven’t) told us we could look around and explained the menu and experience thoroughly. The service didn’t end there. Our server, Tim was a delight and absolute top tier server. He elevated our experience to the next level. He was charming and knowledgeable and in the most genuine way. The food by the way, was also amazing. Great quality for the amount of food you get. Ps. You should call yourself lucky if you get Tim as a server.

Such a gem, the place is decorated in the old style of 1800’s sometimes even incorporating material from that time, it’s eclectic and stunning for me. The establishment is quite big and the servers knowledgeable about the menu as well as the history. It was fun being there, I suggest to take a round of the place at least so you can see everything they have to offer. Very filling and delicious food, fast service but a reservation is highly recommended, we waited for over 30 mins to get a table but they were very busy that afternoon.

The Old Spaghetti Factory in Toronto is a great spot for a cozy, nostalgic dining experience. The decor is one of the highlights, with vintage charm throughout, including a beautiful horse carousel inside the restaurant, which adds a whimsical touch to the atmosphere. Dining here really feels like stepping back in time. The menu offers a variety of pasta dishes, and the best part is that every meal includes bread, soup or salad, and ice cream for dessert—all for a very reasonable price. We tried the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, chicken parmigiana, Tuscan lasagna, and ravioli. While the chicken fettuccine was just okay—the sauce was a bit dry—the rest of the dishes were absolutely delicious! The chicken parmigiana was crispy and flavorful, the Tuscan lasagna was rich and satisfying, and the ravioli was perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, making it ideal for a casual meal with friends or family. The service was friendly and attentive, even during a busy evening. If you’re looking for comfort food in a unique, nostalgic setting, The Old Spaghetti Factory won’t disappoint.

This place is super cute inside with Mary go around, a train cabin and other unique theme areas for seating. The meat pasta is just so so and not much taste to it but my kid loved it. It's very family friendly and good for kids. Service was excellent. Ice cream was okay as well. Food came out not too slow. All in all we might be going back because it was a good price point and kid friendly!
