The Old Spaghetti Factory (Winnipeg)

Margarette was our server tonight and she was really great and professional! She didn't know all the information about drinks but that was okay because she took the initiative to find out and answer our questions. The food was amazing and made for a great experience on our first night in Winnipeg

You get the most out of your money. Typical pasta order which cost between $13-$20. It comes with either soup or salad, tea or coffee, and ice cream. Did I mention that they give out unlimited bread with garlic butter on the side? I also recommend it dipping in balsamic vinegar and olive oil mixture. The pasta is okay meaning I can probably cook one at home but I am too lazy and I don't want to spend a fortune on eating out so...here we are.

Lots of food for a fairly low price. You are offered free bread right away. Our meals came with a starter (soup or salad) whichever main you order, and ice cream. The pistachio ice cream was great, try it! Their Moscow Mule, although, not served in the traditional copper mug, as seen in the photo, is great.

This was my first time going and I can say it was not the best experience. My food- the chicken Alfredo ravioli was delicious but the portions are a tad small and the whole overall experience was not good. Yes it was busy but we waited over 23 minutes fir our water and drinks, I actually had to go and ask for it from another server. I had my 3.5 old daughter with me and out food took almost 40 minutes. She kept saying how hungry she was. We only got our starters 5 minutes before our main. I had asked another server (since ours barely came around) if anything could she please see how long it was for my daughters chicken fingers she's really hungry. Our server was very overwhelmed and not fully paying attention. She admitted she zoned out and wanted to cry (which I felt bad for, but we suffered because of it). She did not get our orders right and after asking us many questions she still didn't seem to get it. When our food finally came nothing was given to the right person and two other dishes were brought to our table we didn't order (one which ended up on my bill). My dinner tasted really great except my daughter still didn't have her kids chicken fingers and fries because they brought out a lasagna we never ordered. So I think they had to rush to make her chicken fingers even though I had already asked about them previously. So her fries were undercooked and the honey dill tasted off. I didn't want to complain but I did ask about 3 times about my daughters food in particular cause she kept saying how hungry she was. So towards the end a manager came around and apologized for the long wait for the kids meal and said she'd cover it. Ok that was great considering my daughter barely touched it. If it wasn't for having my daughter I would have been a bit more understanding. I get when a restaurant is busy but 25 minutes for drinks, 40 minutes for our starter, and dirty cutlery do not make for a happy experience. Not to mention our server being very off on our order and our bill and just seeming lost the whole time. I walked away paying $100 still for 3 meals and 2 drinks. My bill had to be adjusted because I was being charged even more than that fir things I didn't order. Too much for a not good experience in my eyes. So maybe avoid if this place is super busy.

This was my first time to the Old Spaghetti Factory here at the forks. Phenomenal experience all around. Beautifully situated at the forks near the banks of the Red and Assinaboine Rivers, the old classic brick building and antigue dining furniture, all serve to make this an exceptional experience. I came here with 4 other friends. Quick and professional service. Quiet atmosphere with no music blaring. The food was absolutely fantastic, all the way from the BamBam Shrimp to the and the cheesy squares to the Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo and the ice cream. Great experience, will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. Came back again for a second time. Baby Back Ribs on the menu today, with the bam bam shrimp, was a fantastic dinner. Spumoni Ice cream always wraps the meal up perfectly. Loved the experience!

I am giving this restaurant a strong four for the good price options it gives. If you are looking for a gourmet Italian meal this is not the place you go. This place is all included meal where you order a pasta dish and you will get free tea or coffee, salad, unlimited bread and dessert ice cream. My favorite dish on the menu is spaghetti with meatballs but when you order- ask them to oven bake it with cheese. It's off the menu. Parking spots are easy to find as it is located at the Forks. Make reservations for bigger groups but they have tons of tables. Probably fits 200 people without restrictions.

First time at the old spaghetti factory in Winnipeg on a busy Saturday night. Our server Marga provided Rochelle and I with the best service! It’s nicely located across from Inn at the Forks. I loved the gluten free options. For dinner I had a Caesar salad with no croutons, non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri (virgin), roasted grilled chicken with gluten free pasta and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Rochelle had the garden salad, martini, chicken parmigiana and spumoni ice cream these were from the “it’s all included” part of their menu. Great tasting food for a great price. Thank you Marga! You are awesome! ?

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for a family birthday celebration, which I told them when I booked the reservation, but they didn't do anything special to acknowledge our guest's birthday (something they always used to do in the past). The food was delicious as always. The reception staff and our server were all friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. It's always fascinating to see the antiques all over the restaurant, too!
