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.
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.
Good food. Had the pasta with meet sauce & it was delicious. Good selection of wines. Service was excellent & beautiful & charming place. Not expensive for a tourist area.
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
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.
We visited this restaurant around 7:00pm on a weekend, & there was a surprisingly long line-we ended up waiting about 40 minutes before getting seated. Since we really wanted to try their food, we came back the next day around 11:30am for lunch, & luckily, there was no wait at all! If you want to avoid the crowd, I highly recommend coming for an early lunch instead of dinner.
The pasta dishes were the highlight-we ordered the red pasta with steak & the lobster pasta. The red sauce was rich & flavorful, but unfortunately, the steak (which we requested medium) came out dry & overcooked. The lobster pasta, however, was fantastic-creamy, well-seasoned, & much better than the beef dish.
For dessert, we tried the crème brûlée & tiramisu. The crème brûlée had a unique floral hint, which made it stand out-definitely worth ordering! The tiramisu, though, was a bit disappointing-it leaned too dry & sweet for my taste. I prefer mine more moist with a stronger coffee bitterness.
Overall, a solid spot for pasta (especially the lobster!) & crème brûlée, but the steak & tiramisu could use some improvement. Go early to skip the line!
