Go for the best quality Italian food I have eaten in years..nothing we had over our 2x visits was less than outstanding.Menu was massive for both carnivores & vegetarians.Salad bar included was a welcome bonus.
Service & friendliness of staff was the best we experienced.

A small quaint place. Staff was very friendly & the food was incredible. They had a salad bar included with the meal. I was not impressed. I would have liked a regular salad, but they only had a kale salad & some other cold pasta salads. Since the meal was pasta, did not want more pasta. A light fresh lettuce salad would have been better.
So far we have visited twice.
4 x Dishes down & we can't believe how amazing the dishes have been.
To include bread & a lovely little salad bar in what you pay is unbelieveable.
So worth the very very short walk from the Square.
Welcome & service from staff,the same waitress served us twice & was outstanding.
This has to be the best food we have had in Montreal without doubt.
Wines,Spirit options & amazing on taps beers for all tastes can't be faulted.
Michelin star restaurants elsewhere have not in our opinion been as good.
PUT THIS ON YOUR MUST VISIT LIST!!
Excellent repas, les pâtes sont délicieuses, le bar à salade est bon & le tout est servi avec des petits pains chauds.
Bon service & bel endroit.
Un restaurant à visiter.
This is such a cute restaurant & the decor is absolutely amazing. I got the smoked meat pasta & it was AMAZING like genuinely I would eat that everyday for the rest of my life. I also got an apple martini & it was delicious we were a little disappointed by the salad bar because we thought it would be build your own salad but it's just premade salads but they're still really good. The garlic butter for the bread is also amazing. It's cold so it doesn't spread well & the bread is nothing special but the taste of the butter makes it all worth it.
The restaurant has a very nice interior & friendly service. There are many types of pasta with some original & rather unique sauces, & they even offer a small salad as a complimentary starter, which is a nice touch.
The main dishes were good, but the virgin mojito was disappointing, & the desserts were actually quite underwhelming. The place feels quite touristic, with average prices for that area of Montreal.
It was also very cold inside, which made the experience less pleasant. Overall, I wouldn't go back, but it's fine for a casual meal if you're nearby.
Pâtes excellente & le pain inclus un bel ajout. Le bar à salade est bien. Bonne sélection de vin. Le service super rapide & courtois. Beaucoup aimé le vibe. Prix plus qu'abordable pour la qualité du plat, du service & de l'espace.
L'Usine de Spaghetti is superb! The nostalgic feel of the dining area added to the quality of our experience. The salad bar & entrees were among the best in our dining experiences which includes Europe.
Service attentif & souriant, plats appétissants & bons, bar à salade varié & a volonté . Prix corrects dans u n quartier très touristique. A recommander, très belle cave à vins

We had a great meal there. It was absolutely tasty. There is an all-you-can-eat salad buffet with every main course. But the dishes are so big, that you don't need much salad.
The service was so friendly & helpful! We really enjoyed our dinner.
The all you can eat salad bar & tasty pasta were the best things about this place! Service & atmosphere were great. We got the linguine & veg spaghetti for our main meals.
Quand nous avons le goûts d'excellentes pâtes dans une atmosphère décontractée & sans flafla, c'est à l'Usine qu'il faut aller. Nous y sommes venus plusieurs fois dans les dernières années & nous ne sommes jamais déçus. Bar à salades & pain gratuit en entrée. Le personnel est sympathique, courtois & rapide. Un endroit charmant à découvrir si vous passez dans le Vieux-Port. Il n'y a pas de réservations, alors il faut prévoir de l'attente, mais ce n'est jamais très long.
Atmosphere is nice but I feel compelled to WARN people about the food. The meatball tasted like they put a big chunk of meat into a ball with ABSOLUTELY NO SEASONING. So dry & awful. & the meat sauce, equally as awful & again, no seasoning.
My son got the fettuccine alfredo & since that sauce only has 3 ingredients, they SHOULD be nailing it. BUT they didn't put enough parmigiana so it wasn't salty enough. AGAIN, ABSOLUTELY NO FLAVOUR.
The bread basket was dry, day old bread that crumbled apart because it was so dry. & the accompanying butter wasn't soft so it was hard to put the two together.
Now to the most BIZARRE salad bar EVER. Huge chunks of kale, the most challenging'lettuce' to chew while raw. & that's it, no normal lettuce. Why not some Romano? Then there's the coleslaw with WAY TOO MUCH MAYO? At an Italian restaurant? The ONE edible thing was the potato salad, but again, at an Italian restaurant? This salad bar needs a serious re-think.
Hubby got the chicken parmesan & it was SO DRY, NO SEASONING & caked on mozzarella, which was the only good part. But I can get a cheap slice of pizza if I want a slab of cooked mozzarella.
Not sure HOW this restaurant is getting decent reviews. It seems impossible to me! Literally the WORST Italian restaurant I've EVER experienced. & we had to pay a steep price for REALLY bad food. I'm sad because we work so hard for our money.
Une valeur sûre du vieux port ! Les pâtes sont vraiment délicieuse & le menu est très variés y a pour tous les goûts 🤩
Le bar à salade est aussi très bon
