The Old Spaghetti Factory (Gastown) Vancouver Reviews from The Last Year
Last evening dinner here.
We tried this place for the 1st time on vacation here. It's located in Gas Town, a charming area full of unique buildings. We walked from the Sea Bus building. They have off-street parking and it's handicap accessible. Quite a unique place with stain glass lights and windows with a trolly inside you can eat in. We had a reservation, but they seated us early. Our waiter William did ok, could have been more attentive to us. Getting ice water with ice in is almost impossible. We ordered 2 appetizers of calamari and mussels. Both were very good. My entree was spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. I enjoyed my meal. The meatballs were a bit dry for my liking. The salad with homemade Italian was great. My son had chicken alfredo ravioli and salad with ranch dressing. He thought it was great. My wife had the same as me but with marinara sauce. She thought it was great, too. Ice cream followed the meal. We would recommend this place if you are in Vancouver. Prices are reasonable here. The pasta was cooked perfectly! The bread came with the meal served fresh with garlic butter.
I feel cheated
The food is okay about the same you can make at home with premade sauces and off the shelf pasta… but if you eat at home you don't get tricked into paying over a 32% tip. They charge you a gratuity of 18% and then also give you option to give a tip without ever telling you that they already charged a gratuity. I will be going back a few times without a group so I can tip 0% to get my money back.
It’s is very good
The staff was good the food was good and it’s is haunted my knife and spoon moved across from each big shoutout to the waitress for bringing my food to me
Great place for a meal!
My husband and I came here for dinner with a friend. We have been to other OSF's but haven't been to this one in a very long time. It didn't disappoint. We have always enjoyed their locations because they have very good food at very good prices and wonderful service. Audrey was our server and she was very friendly and efficient. My husband had the Steamed Mussels and I had the Seafood Marinara with Gluten free pasta. The meal comes with salad or soup and ice cream for dessert. I substituted the green salad for the Cranberry Goat Cheese Spinach salad and was very happy with it ($3 more). My spumoni ice cream I gave to my husband because the Mussels didn't come with dessert. A very good meal deal. Our friend also had the Seafood Marinara with Gluten free pasta. It was a little spicy but very good and a huge serving. The Old Spaghetti Factory never disappoints. Great place for a meal.
Fabulous
The restaurant is very cozy and decorated uniquely and nicely. The service was great and the prices were very reasonable. Food was fabulous- very flavourful :) Only downside for me was the dessert- the ice cream options were either vanilla or a combination of 3 flavours which I found to be quite disastrous. Apart from that, excellent 🙂🙂
All inclusive dinners, all entrees come with either salad
All inclusive dinners, all entrees come with either salad or soup, bread, coffee or tea and a spumoni dessert. Value for money which is getting rarer and rarer in these inflationary times, however don't expect quality. With over 42 restaurants in the USA & Canada, their dishes are consistent and average at best. Not high end Italian but enough italianese to satisfy your pasta craving Started off with a free bread loaf, arrived hot with a nice crispy crust alongside a herbal garlic butter spread. Their Fetticine Alfredo is a mix of green and white noodles. Noodles not al dente but overcooked. Could have used a little more Alfredo sauce as the cheese profile was underwhelming. On a positive note, their staff were efficient and friendly even though we had to ask for spoons for our desserts. Finished meal with their well known spumoni ice cream dessert. Meal was good enough to satisfy my hunger but true Italians would not be caught within a hundred miles of this place
For a work xmas party, we decided to have a simple get
For a work xmas party, we decided to have a simple get together here as it was near our workplace. I havent been inside a very long time and i must say...its still very nostalgic and reminds of of times gone by. Inside there was an old gastown trolley and the decors are not old, but does remind you of the past. Nice done interiors. Looks small from the outside but when you walk in ...the place is huge. And they have been recession proof thru and thru. The place was packed for a week day dinner. I had the chicken parm. Nicely crusted with ooey gooey cheese on top. Pasta with marinara sauce may have needed a bit more seasoning.. But part of the reason we came is bec its one of the old places that that includes a salad, main, and dessert and even coffee/tea for one affordable price. Cant beat that. All things considered...qty, price, quality, value, nostalgia...its a winner. Service also great. Attentive servers. Prime location. Cheers! Happy eating!
Amazing amazing place.
I can go here again and again. It has beautiful old interior, warm food and super friendly service. They give warm complimentary bread and their soup is must try. The yam fries were super crispy. I loved the filling of Manicotta. I will say if you are in gastown you should go here. If you are vegan and vegetarian, they have many options. And their alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are good too!
Always a great deal! Soup/salad, bread, coffee/tea and ice
Always a great deal! Soup/salad, bread, coffee/tea and ice cream are all included with your meal. You can also get good Happy Hour appetizers. I usually get the grilled chicken and each time it's juicy and tender. I just wish the salad was a little more interesting: it's just iceberg and a few carrot strips. Some cucumbers and onions wouldn't hurt.
My initial aggravation was that I made a reservation a
My initial aggravation was that I made a reservation a month ago. We came to Vancouver during our 5th anniversary trip and so I noted that in my reservation notes and requested a table with a good view of the restaurant just to help make lunch really nice. The restaurant is known for the decor. Okay, so when we arrived, we mentioned we had a reservation hoping the host would notice our note and because I am thinking it was empty, he didn't look. He dismissed our comment and showed us to the dining room. Guess what? We were sat at the first booth near the door with the most obscure view you could imagine. It was snowing outside and we had a cold draft! EVEN IF he couldn't see my note, why not ask simply "are you guys celebrating anything special or request anything specific?". The host is the first impression always and that was a fail for sure. Anyways, the waitress was so nice. She appeared to be a hard, busy worker with all the guest. We had a nice conversation at the end, super friendly young woman. Service was slow, but I think I even saw her working the bar too. The lunch specials are inexpensive but the portions small and the coffee and icecream at the end aren't anything to run home about, but why complain about something nearly free. If you're starving, you may want to order off the dinner menu. Okay, so it was worth the $2.95 upcharge for the French onion soup. Absolutely the best with a good flavor, simple. The bread and garlic butter were really good too. My lunch lasagna was really thin, but the cheese was amazing. Hubby ordered a steak sand which against my advice. He ordered medium rare, steak came medium well on a piece of toast. Driest steak you would ever taste. Well seasoned on the outside but nada on the inside. No sauce! Fries cooked to perfection thank goodness. His salad came out with the wrong dressing on it lol. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. Historic look and feel. I would love to be there when it is filled with diners. Would I give them another chance... yeah I suppose. Every restaurant deserves a second chance.
The ambiance here in Gas Town is outstanding.
It truly does feel like we have went back in time while entering this space. The food was okay, but the service was not great. We waited 40mins for water because they didn't have kid cups for that long. Guys you gotta buy more dishes, that is a long time to wait on water. We then waited 45mins for the food to arrive on top of that. It was okay because we were not in a rush on our end, however, it was disappointing to see five tables seated after us all served before us. Mad disrespect there. Perhaps they didn't have enough dishes to serve us our meals first? We had three kids with us under the age of five, and my brother also had three kids with him, two under the age of five. Six kids total waiting 30mins for water and 45mins for meals is kinda a little nuts, but, thankfully they were all well behaved this evening. It was really awkward though how there was no music in there, so we kept hearing the kitchen staff yelling about things with nothing to drown it out while we waited. The real kicker though was at the end when we were waiting for our bill the management had the audacity to come up to us to say they are waiting for our table for the reservation made prior, so if we could leave quickly. I mean, communicate with your staff first to see where they are at and why the everything is taking so long before coming at us like that, it's not like we were wanting to linger there waiting that long with that many young kids. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Customer service is everything guys. Hope someone can see this to make some changes, or at least to buy more dishes.
Everything from Service to Food was terrible here.
We are from California and this is one of our favorite restaurants at home to go eat at. This one has a different menu, no Pesto dressing, different bread and horrible pasta. It took over 1.5 to get seated when we were told approx 30 min wait. The service was so bad and the server messed up our order and had the most difficult time getting it right. Save yourself the money and go eat somewhere that is actually good and worth the price.
Great value and decent food…staff are plentiful efficient and fast!
Massive restaurant and crazy busy too, but they have it down to a science…get the folks in and out as fast as possible and give them a good time. The food is good but not great, but good value for money. You get a set meal of bread, soup or salad , entree, tea or coffee and ice cream for dessert. You can upgrade to fancier foods should you so choose for a higher price. I had the French onion soup, the ribs and pasta and spumone ice cream. The ribs were pretty tasty! The side marinara pasta was ok. Overall, it’s a great place to take the family or large groups without breaking the bank. Tasty selection of non alcoholic drinks…I had the cherry cream soda and it was nice…like an egg cream in the US.
Good value pasta
Iconic restaurant in Gastown. Good pasta and service was efficient, great people watching spot if you get a table outside
Our overall experience of dining here was fantastic.
The location is lovely and the interior of the restaurant has a historic flair. All meals come with bread, soup and ice cream. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the drinks were super cheap and tasty and the service was great, too.
. Only a wine is ok
Not tasty at all. We have Ordered Chicken Parmigiana - it was heavy and too oily. Spaghetti like they just put the tomato mix on the noodles. Also Roasted Garlic Grilled Chicken - was horrible… it was like someone just squeezed juice on the flat chicken. My plate was full, and waiter didn’t even asked why. Waiter wasn’t surprised or didn’t care IDK. We are left hungry and go to other place. Do you call it Italian vibe?
Amazing staff, great food!
The staff at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown were wonderful! We sat in the tram inside the restaurant which was a cool experience. The food was really delicious. My 18 month daughter dropped my husband’s phone down the tram’s window cavity and the staff went above and beyond to retrieve it! It took over 2 hours to get it out of the cavity, and everyone worked together. Thanks again everyone!
I love how their menu is all-inclusive! You start with
I love how their menu is all-inclusive! You start with minestrone soup or crisp green salad. There's tea or coffee at the end, and spumoni ice cream for dessert. Sourdough bread is unlimited and comes with amazing garlic butter. The calamari was a great appetizer. It was flavourful, juicy, and slightly crispy. The lasagna was delicious, but the amount of cheese felt excessive. There were times I was only eating globs of cheese, and it was just too much. The linguine with clams was yummy and there were a lot of clams. The sauce had an oceanic taste, possibly due to the lack of white wine. We went at 3 PM and although the restaurant wasn't busy, it took us a very long time to get the bill. Despite making eye contact with our server multiple times, he still didn't come over. Other than that, we had an overall positive experience.
Good food enjoying the food n restaurant too
The food is good and the value of money is the best. You may pay for the main course and you will get additional free bread for appetizer, soup and ice cream for dessert . The spagetti is good enough for us (3 of us) and everybody enjoy the food too
Experience Spoilt By Impatient Wait Staff
We arrived a little late roughly 8-ish pm. We were seated very quickly- great! The wonderful aspects of this establishment of this place:- 1- ambience 2- food variety on menu 3- delicious foods 4- reasonably priced menu items Minestrone soup and goat cheese salad was extremely delicious- try it! Lesser quality- wait staff. She smiled and took our orders efficiently. No fault here. However, she rushed us thru wanting to clear the table quickly. I didn’t mind her taking my husband’s and daughter’s plates away as they had just finished literally. But I still had a tiny piece of meat left which I was savouring. I had to tell her to wait. She then came back 5mins later to clear my plate and glasses. We haven’t finished our drinks either at this stage, we had to tell her to come back later. We gave her a tip although she definitely did not deserve it! Based on her attitude, I downgraded this restaurant.
Nice spot, food is not
Lovely restaurant, friendly and attentive staff, very reasonably priced, includes bread/salad .... but ..... the quality and flavours of the entrees were very disappointing. Not authentic, not Italian, sauces lacked punch, despite the descriptions. Nevertheless, we left fed and were happy with the price we paid. I can see how it would appeal to families.
They have a no-tip culture.
I Once delivered 40 pizzas to them for a staff meeting. Gave them great service and sorted everything into flavours. I made sure to include nights of napkins and extra things that a large order might need such as plates. And there was no tip afterwards. So, I guess that is their culture is that tipping is not necessary at this establishment, because they don't tip for a good, fast service.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
