I remember going to the original Old Spaghetti Factory in Old Market square it was connected to one of the best night clubs in Winnipeg, Brandy's , the pastas have always been the best not to mention the best sour dough bread with garlic butter, and last year I finally got to visit the Forks and love the setting and same amazing food
I love this place. I go every other month with the same friend. It's our place to have dinner and chat. We get there early right after work and it's not loud so we can have a conversation and relax while enjoying a good meal. Service is great. You don't feel rushed. The food is always good. I have no negative comments.
We love walking here for lunch. Their Spaghetti is quite delicious and definitely a staple for us at the Forks. They’re always great for big groups or smaller, more intimate seating.
The Old Spaghetti Factory at the Forks is my family's go-to restaurant. The price ranges from $10.74-$18.95, you can get yourself a nice three-course meal. Each entree comes with bread, minestrone soup/green salad to start, your choice of entree, tea/coffee and your choice of ice-cream for dessert. I always walk out with nothing but satisfaction!
Since the restaurant is at the Forks, the weekends are exceptionally busy! My family and I did a walk-in at 5pm on a Saturday evening for a group of 3, we had to wait for 35-40 minutes to finally be seated. My suggestion to you is that always make a reservation if you decided to dine in on a weekend.
This place is family-oriented so casual attire will get you by. I'd highly recommend you to check it out if you've never been before. It's a perfect place for groups/couples.
If you're clueless on what to get, my all-time favourite is the Chicken Alfredo with Mushroom and Mascarpone Cheese Ravioli. It's a must-try!!!
The atmosphere is a bit dusty; the service subpar; the food okay. But the REAL advantage of this place is how affordable it is. If you're in The Forks and looking for lunch, you really can't go wrong with spaghetti, salad (or soup) and a loaf of bread for $10.
I dined here recently with a friend and it made me wonder why I haven't been here in so long, it was a really good experience. The service was great and the food portions were huge. I had the pesto linguine and my friend had the old classic spaghetti with meat sauce and we were both very pleased with the dishes. The bread is to die for, I filled up on too much of it. I will definitely be back.
Nice relaxed family atmosphere and pleasant staff. We were all very hungry so the "all included" with soup/salad, bread and dessert was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend the braised beef and squash penne - really delicious!
Nothing special. I find that they do not drain the pasta properly before adding the sauce so I get a watery tasteless meal. The amount of food served is decent.

My date and I ordered the chicken Alfredo with mushroom and mascarpone cheese ravioli. We both enjoyed our dish, and I personally would recommend trying it!
If you're a fan of the mojito, I'd recommend going there to try their strawberry mojito. It's now my new favourite alcoholic beverage. I'll be seeing myself there more often just for the strawberry variant of the mojito.
The cleanliness of the restaurant however wasn't the best. Upon being seated to our table, both my forks still had dry food leftovers which I assume was due to improper washing of the cutlery. The spoons also looked like they were improperly washed. Under our table were dirty spoons and a bunch of crumbs. None of this however didn't upset my dining experience. The restaurant looked like it was in its peak hours and was busy, but given those circumstances, that still shouldn't be an excuse to have a properly cleaned dining booth.
I've dined there about twice or thrice now. I can only see myself giving this restaurant a lower rating if the next time I'm there, the table we're seated at isn't properly cleaned. Though this has only happened to me once at this restaurant, I'd still give this place a high rating.
When I lived in the Rockies, I went to the Old Spaghetti Factory in Banff all the time. It was the most affordable place to get a decent meal. I've only actually been to the Winnipeg location a couple of times. I admit that I miss the spinach salad option they had in Banff. It was so good. I had the veggie lasagna which is always good and opted for the Greek salad to start. My BF had the baby back ribs. He said his was very good. The food came very quickly which was almost surprising considering how packed it was.
The service in the lounge was very efficient but not all that personal. She brought out the bread as we ordered which was also a huge plus. I love that whipped garlic butter!
Great value! Nice place to go for dinner if your at the forks and don't want to spend lots. Breads great, love the garlic butter!!! Staff always make you feel at home and never leave your drink to go empty.
Honestly one of the best experiences iv had at a restaurant in winnipeg I don't know what it was but had zero complaints and left happy as could be. Great food, great service.
