THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY GASTOWN REVIEWS

Stepped into an enchanting Italian restaurant boasting exquisite design and a warm atmosphere. The highlight was the lasagna, truly a culinary masterpiece, paired with top-notch service from the exceptionally courteous staff. The restaurant's vast space is cleverly divided into intimate zones, creating a cozy yet elegant dining experience. A gem that promises not only a meal but a delightful journey through Italy's rich flavors. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.

Great service !! Our server was very attentive. We were served almost right away with a delicious loaf of warm bread and butter. The mussels are so delicious and fresh. The sauce is just right. We also opted for a classic bowl of pasta and it was perfect. This is a great spot for a quick bite to eat, family dinner or date night. We will definitely be back.

Great iconic location, fast and friendly servers, great idea of paying for your parking, you have to download the voucher from the website, the all included menu offers a great value, recommended.

ITALIAN KITCHEN REVIEWS

I had a fantastic experience here with 8 other people. The server did a great job with handling all of our orders and conversing with us casually. The pastas, as reviewed by my friends, were all really delicious. The bolognese had a great texture and balance of meat (actual meat and not just sauce). We got a complimentary dessert with chocolate writing, which was really considerate and kind. Aside from the tiramisu that we ordered, the complimentary dessert (I’m unsure what it’s called) was also just the right amount of sweet and warm, and it was such a special bonus to the night. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant out if you have the expenses, company, and time.

Certainly the best dining experiences we've ever had. Chef Matteo prepared some amazing seasonal dishes and paired them with some amazing drinks from the bar staff. So much amazing pasta, risotto and seafood.

The food, drink and desert are super good. Service is good but could be better. We tried 3 different dishes all of them were yummy. Would highly recommend the place. Their truffle dishes are my most favorite.

OSTERIA SAVIO VOLPE REVIEWS

This place was absolutely amazing..my sister brought me here for my birthday!!...the level of care and effort was unreal!! Firstly the food was just absolutely phenomenal!! Every bite was just exquisite!!! Our servers were all just so caring and knowledgeable about the food they were serving us. I ask a lot of questions about the food and our server answered them all!! You just feel cared for by everyone who serves you here....the service is next level and again the food was just phenomenal! Definitely gonna bring my gf here soon.

My wife - who is Italian - and I visited this restaurant for her birthday with some of our friends. We consider ourselves connoisseurs of Italian food, and this restaurant was by far one of the best food experiences outside Italy. The food, service and overall atmosphere were excellent. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional Italian meal.

The dining experience was nothing short of divine! We indulged in half of the menu, and I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to make a pilgrimage to experience it at least once.
