Many patrons praise the inclusive salad bar and warm bread served with every meal, which offer excellent value, alongside a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences.

The linguine with blue cheese was incredible. The most inventive way I have had blue cheese. My family hates blue cheese & they all loved this dish. That says it all. Also had the boar rigatoni which was very good. The chicken parm was delicious & the lasagna was pretty good but that was the weakest dish. The service was top notch. The table bread came with some flavoured butter which was very nice. The all you can eat salad bar was a fun touch & & old school vibe I loved. The ambiance is amazing. The price was right. The wait is worth it. Just make sure that when you give your name you stay in line to hear your name called.

Molt bona opció per menjar al centre de la ciutat, a uns preus raonables. La carta es basa en alguns entrats i plats de pasta molt complets, amb bufet d'amanides inclòs al preu (també hi ha opció de fer només bufet d'amanida com a plat únic, per 16$). Hi ha un apartat per a criatures, amb plats de pasta més petits i barats. No hi ha massa plats vegetarians.

?We went with my wife & 7-year-old son, & everything was wonderful. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, & the prices were very reasonable. A nice bonus was the completely free salad bar, & the desserts were amazing too.

?The whole family loved it-highly recommended! 🏅

This was a great find after a busy day of wandering old montreal. Service was friendly & efficient. Portions are generous & tasty. Salad bar was small & features premade salads-they were tasty but didn't work so well for my goal of getting fruits & veggies into my kids on vacation. Bread was fresh & we would have eaten more but needed to save room for our mains.

Spaghetti with meat sauce & the daily special of meat lasagne were big hits. I had the Plateau Mount Royal, with the smoked meat & the cheese melted on top-delicious! I couldn't finish but that cheese was so tasty, I tried my best.

Nice food, the stand out was the spaghetti bolognese with steak. Salad bar was meh & a bit of a gimmick.

Highly recommend L'Usine de Spaghetti! Excellent service, homemade food, the highlight for me was the desserts.
The shrimp in the fettuccine were extremely large. The portions are enough for 2 meals. The bread & salad bar are a nice touch. Excellent value at this restaurant.

Wow!! Perfect dinner spot in the heart of Old Port Montreal. Charming historical atmosphere, reasonable prices, dinner comes with rolls & salad bar (coleslaw, chickpeas, kale, sweet potato). We had melt in your mouth lamb shank & fresh pasta, fettuccine Alfredo with crispy chicken, & mushroom risotto - all delicious, very generous portions. & our server was very friendly & attentive. Wonderful!!!

Mon resto de pâtes favori, le service est très bon, la cuisine a rapidement sortis nos plats (nous étions un groupe de 5), la bouffe est excellente & le prix raisonnable. Le bar à salade gratuit avec un plat complet est vraiment un plus. Le décor est parfait, qui garde le cachet antique du Vieux-Montreal. Notre serveuse Vicky a été parfaite! Je recommande vraiment à tous!
