L'usine de Spaghetti Parisienne is located in Old Montreal in an old building. Menu à la carte includes several specials mainly consisting of pasta dishes
Overall, L'usine de Spaghetti in the Old Port comes across as a bustling, family friendly Italian spot with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere, a generous salad bar and free bread that many diners praise, and a menu focused on comforting pastas and hearty mains that deliver big portions for good value. Reviewers consistently highlight the variety of pasta sauces and dishes, from lobster pasta and fettuccine to meatballs and braised beef ravioli, with several noting standout flavors and pasta cooked to al dente. The open bar concept and wine selection add to the welcoming vibe, and service is often described as attentive and efficient, though a few visits mention slower rounds or dishes that lack seasoning. Lines can form on busy nights, but wait times are often short when arriving early, and guests frequently mention returning for the atmosphere as much as the food. While some entries warn that portions can feel uneven and a few dishes miss the mark, the consensus is that the restaurant offers a memorable pasta focused experience with charm and value.
The restaurant is very old & that's the best thing about this place, in my opinion. The decorations & design transports you way back in time to early 20th century perhaps. & Charles Dickens writing the notes for "A tale of two cities" there is very impressive! There was a line when we went for dinner at 6 PM & the line was much longer by 7:30 when we exited the restaurant. The waiter was super attentive & very kind. The salad bar is free with any main meal but half of the salad bowls were nearly empty & we had to ask them to refill them. I got "le Jean Talon" which was Fettuccini in Alfredo sauce but asked for the jumbo shrimps to be replaced by chicken. It was nice but nothing extraordinary. I mean it felt like I had tasted the exact same thing several times in my life, & so close to the recipe I used to make at home. The portion wasn't super big. I had butter & bread that they brought at the table, had two plates of salad, & still could easily finish my dish of pasta (which considering the creamy sauce is a bit heavy). The restaurant is a bit on the pricey side, especially considering the portion size. All in all, amazing environment, polite waiter, but not impressed by the food & prices. :)

Délicieux restaurant italien au vieux port de Montréal! Excellente qualité-prix! Bon service malgré l'achalandage! Les pâtes avec le fromage bleu & andives sont excellentes! Je recommande
El restaurante tiene un ambiente muy peculiar, acogedor y agradable. El servicio no pudo ser mejor. Y la comida, no tengo palabras para describir lo deliciosa que está la salsa de tomate. Yo tomé la pasta de verdura fresca, salsa de tomate y espaguetis, para chuparse los dedos. Las cantidades son súper generosas. Además, dan pan y agua de cortesía, y los platos incluyen un mini bufé de ensalada. Me lo guardo, volveré y recomendaré!
Excelente restaurante de massas em Vancouver na famosa Rua Saint Paul. Ambiente agradável e atendimento com muita simpatia! Comi uma Fetutine Alfredo que vem com 3 camarões grandes delicioso! Retornei no dia seguinte para comer novamente!
Nous sommes allé à ce restaurent le 27 avril 2024 pour un souper tardif & nous étions 2 adultes avec un enfant. Comme d'habitude, il y avait une petite file mais nous avons vite été inviter à prendre place. Le décors de ce restaurant est chaleureux & intéressant car il relate l'histoire d'une époque révolue. Nous avons eu la chance d'être servis pas SAM, un jeune serveur des plus efficace! C'est d'ailleurs ce qui me motive à écrire cet avis. Il m'est souvent arrivé de tomber sur des serveurs/serveuse déplaisants, arroguants, certains qui donnent leurs avis sur des choses qui ne les concerne pas, d'autre qui nous presse à terminer notre rapas car ils sont sur le point de terminer leur shift (c'était arrivé justement à ce resto quelques années auparavant), vraiment, il n'est pas rare de tomber sur des gens qui n'ont aucune aptitude pour faire ce travail. Cela dit, SAM, lui, il assure en tant que serveur! Il a été attentif, rapide, à l'écoute, sympathique, bref, EFFICACE en tout point. Un vrai professionnel qui se démarque par son savoir faire. Côté nourriture, je n'ai pas du tout aimé l'entrée de brushetta. En revanche, le bar à salade offre des choix intéressants & on adore leur sauce crémeuse à l'ail! Mon poulet parmigiana était bon, sans plus. L'assiette de tortellini sauce rosé de ma fillette était généreuse & elle l'a bien aimé. Mais ce dont on se souviendra le plus est la pointe de gâteaux mousse au capuccino servie avec de la crème fouettée; un régal! Grâce au bon service de Sam, nous y retournerons. (& aussi pour le gâteau!!!)
Not totally wow'd by their food, at least there was a salad bar which was their saving grace. For some reason, none of their food was salte, & it was decent for its price, considering it's in the old port. The ambiance definitely gave them some points. All things considered, I wouldn't necessarily go back.

Honestly ! one of the best restaurants I've been to in my LIFE. The restaurant itself is so beautiful & I love the concept, the prices are perfect for the food sizes (big portion + salad included), then our waitress amazing girl very nice. All in all a 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quel beau restaurant! L'ambiance est parfaite & si j'avais pu donner plus de 5 étoiles pour le service, je l'aurais fait. Nous avons été servis par Sam, un jeune homme qui a l'expérience d'un grand serveur de resto 5 diamants. La bouffe était bonne, les portions généreuses & les prix avaient du gros bon sang. J'y retournerai assurément!
