Les avis sur L'usine de Spaghetti soulignent des portions copieuses et des pâtes savoureuses avec une variété de sauces, un buffet de salade à volonté et du pain offert, le tout dans une ambiance chaleureuse et un cadre du Vieux Montréal apprécié pour son caractère nostalgique; le service est majoritairement attentif et sympathique, souvent loué lors de réunions de famille ou entre amis. Des remarques ponctuelles évoquent des temps d'attente en période d'affluence, des incohérences dans certaines assiettes et des plats manquant parfois d'assaisonnement; malgré cela, l'ensemble des critiques reste favorable et beaucoup recommandent l'endroit pour l'expérience italienne accessible, le cadre et la qualité des desserts et des vins.
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.
I thought I'd get into a tourist trap for going to a restaurant in the Old Port, but was pleasantly surprised. Went there with a couple of friends visiting from another province & really enjoyed. There was a line, it was busy, but it went by quickly. Service was good, all-you-can-eat bread & good portions of the main courses!

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.
It has absolutely stunning ambience in the back of the store with historical artifacts on the wall & even the old store sign from when it was one. The food on top of that is even better. I had the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Their home made sauce is definitely one of the best. We also had the gratinated garlic bread, it was seriously delicious. For dessert I had the strawberry cheesecake which had an absolutely amazing presentation & incredible texture.
Bottom line, if you're looking for an Italian place to go to while in Montreal. Go here.
Love the menu concept that was named after places in Montreal. Came here twice so we've got to try several dishes here & we love them all. Free salad bar & bread as appetizers both for lunch & dinner. The staffs were also amazing. Lovely space to visit if you come to Old Port (small note that it's first come first serve, they don't take reservations)
Wonderful pasta place.
Excellent meat dishes. Very courteous staff.
All-you-can-eat bread, garlic butter & salads with any main dish.
Wait time is about 15 minutes around 8PM.
We stopped into this darling little Italian place for lunch while on a visit from California. We were absolutely delighted with our whole experience - the cheerful service, the lovely ambience, & the delicious food! We enjoyed the salad bar (definitely have the potato salad, it was very good) & bread. The onion roll was our favorite. My husband had the spaghetti & meatballs & absolutely LOVED it. The meatballs were fantastic!! I thoroughly enjoyed the tortellini with rosé sauce. The tortellini was very light, the filling was creamy, & the beautifully balanced sauce was the perfect blend of red & white. Honestly, we ate here on the second to last day of our 6 day trip & our only disappointment was that we didn't find it on day 1 or 2 so we could have gone back for more! Next time we are in Montreal you will definitely be on our list!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly & fast service, & good food. Waited ~ half an hour for a table & it was well worth it! The salad bar & unlimited bread w/ garlic butter was what sold it for us 😅 we got four different pastas & they were all delicious. Cocktails are a bit pricey but otherwise the menu is affordable! Would absolutely recommend!
Nice rustic atmosphere. On-the-house salad bar & the variety bread basket with garlic butter is a sumptuous addition to their delicious entrees we tried the ravioli, penne, tortellini for lunch & they even custom made a sauted vegable entree for someone who was a vegetarian.
Do not forget to order their desserts - the chocolate cake was a bliss!
The salad bar is a nice touch, though somewhat limited. The bread quality wasn't great, with the onion bun being the only standout. As for the pasta, both the pesto & ragu were comforting & filling. Overall, a nice spot near Bonsecours Market in Old Montreal.
Food was mediocre at best. Bread brought to us was stale & cold. Salad bar was not a draw with all the flu & viruses around. Basically it's just a tourist grade restaurant.

If you're looking for a place with a nice atmosphere & decent Italian food, this spot at the old port is worth checking out. The vibe inside is great-warm & inviting. They have a small salad buffet included with the main meal, & they also offer bread & butter. A slight downside was the butter being too frozen, making it difficult to spread. We tried the dish number 18 & the number 12. Both were good-nothing that really blew us away, but still enjoyable. What really makes this place stand out is the location. It's right in the heart of the Old Port, which is such a fun area to explore. I'd recommend wandering around the old streets, soaking in the scenery, & then stopping here for a meal. It's more about the overall experience than just the food alone, & for that, I'd say it's worth a visit.
The lobster linguini & lamb chops spaghetti are worth trying! The lamb chops are tender, though its spaghetti is just okay. They also offer a free salad bar, & the complimentary bread comes in two types, a classic baguette & a flavorful onion-garlic option, both are good. However, the restaurant is too popular & often crowded, so the service can be a bit slow.
Fabulous!!! Best meal in Montreal. Balanced flavors, perfect portions, & the bonus salad bar & bread were 100%. Friendly service & beautiful atmosphere, definitely recommend
Food is quite good & its IPA is fairly good of taste so I ordered additional one during my lunch. However, the free salad bar will be available only the case whole member order their each food not sharing the less dishes than whole member. The appetizer bread is quite tasty to boom up of taste.

The staff was very sweet. I asked my order to be prepared faster as I had a flight to catch & they accommodated my request. Upon leaving the staff wished me for a safe flight. Which might seem like a small detail but to remember that & have the presence of mind to wish shows their commitment to the job. Loved the mushroom Risotto & the selection of breads offered.
Honestly one of my favourite restaurants I've been to ever. The atmosphere is so warm & inviting, the servers are very kinds & welcoming, & the food was delicious. It's also great value for their prices as most deviants come with complimentary bread & salad bar - I cannot recommend it enough!
This was a nice dining experience if you're craving Italian food in the old montreal area! Not only are their pasta dishes massive, but they have an ayce salad bar & complimentary bread & butter! This definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The staff were super friendly & the food was delicious! Definitely coming back here when I visit montreal!
It's a nice place to grab some good Italian food; service was spot on! Loved the bread they served with herb & garlic butter! A bit pricey but definitely recommend! Good location, nice interior & good service!
