Your Mama would want you to eat at the Spaghetti Factory....
Mama knows best that's for sure. Consistently fresh ingredients, flavourful,well prepared and in a timely manner; that's a recipe for success that the Spaghetti Factory has been loyally following for decades. Simple north American-style Italian fare, you'd be a fool to take a pass. Tanya's service was second to none as she hurriedly dashed off carefully dodging a very busy dining floor to hand in our appy & drink order. If you're like me, you'll order the managers special with your choice of pasta and sauces. My fave is Linguine with a creamy rich white sauce ( or pesto ) and clams accompanied with spaghetti with a dark savory meat sauce. I love the variety of this option. Our entree included a fresh crunchy green salad, warm endless sourdough bread and real butter garnish. You may also enjoy a tasty home made soup if you 're not into salad.The New England style Clam Chowder was a winner in my books, plump clams and that fresh taste of the sea is always satisfying for any seafood lover. The next visit I sopped up the most lip smackinly good Pesto sauce I've ever tasted with still warm, chewy sourdough bread. I love the Pesto sauce smell and taste; fresh aromatic Basil and buttery pine nuts all swimming in copious amounts of cream,butter and cheese. Yum! I swilled coffee while greedily devouring the included spumoni ice-cream. A complete meal including bevies,bread ,salad and desert...definitely a no- brainer.
Amazing attentive service, great fresh food and value make the Spaghetti Factory a excellent choice for everyone! My only concern was the lighting could be placed better, more directly over the tables,...remember we eat first with our eyes , then with our nose and lastly with our tongue.
Well done Brandon and the staff at O.S.F. Your efforts should be the standard for all restaurants!
The Old Spaghetti Factory, Langley...You should go,...and bring the whole family!
Happy Noshin'

We were hungry and too tired to cook so went here last night for supper. Service is friendly, soup and bread was yummy and spaghetti and meatballs were ok because they could have put a wee bit more sauce on the pasta because it was a little dry.
All in all, it was alrite and we will go back but ask for more sauce on the pasta tho! -

Was very surprised by the interior of this building. From the outside it seems like a normal, run-of-the-mill restaurant but the inside is so much more. The tacky carpet look actually made feel like I was dining in an expensive hotel from the 1950's. Not really sure if that makes any sense but it sure looks neat on the inside!
Service was good as usual and they serve wayyyy too much food (as usual). Price was decent and beer selection a tad slack but I give this place a solid 3.5 stars (4 stars rounding up). -

This was one of the better places for my wallet where I had dinner at during my travels through this area. The Langley location is right off Hwy 1, next door to the White Spot and across from the Colossus IMAX cineplex.
I was reluctant to have dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory since I had a "not so good" experience at a US location (Duarte, CA) a few years ago. I got sick there and the service was not stellar. The US locations are typically in an old schoolhouse.
I strolled in here for an early evening dinner recently and was seated immediately. The restaurant has a bar area with TV in the front and ample booth and table seating throughout the place, high ceilings with exposed vent pipes, exposed brick walls, and plenty of stained glass. The menu (thin paper) offers typical Italian American fare including plenty of spaghetti/pasta dishes with several different sauces offered.
What is great about The Old Spaghetti Factory, is that the dinner entrees include sourdough bread with whipped butter, salad or soup, coffee or tea, and dessert (spumoni) for one "it's all included" price. I had The Manager's Favourite ($10.95) which is spaghetti with choice of any two sauces. The bread loaf was warm and the garlic butter was decent. The minestrone soup was decent too. The entree, half & half of mushroom sauce & white clam sauce over al dente spaghetti was very good and tasty. The dessert was a small scoop of refreshing ice cream.
The service was pretty good and attentive. I got refills on ice water, refills on cups of coffee, additional bread & butter, and my food came out quickly. The price of the meal was a great tasty deal, especially in Canada, eh. -

We came here with a large group. After living in Vancouver all my life I'd never been to Old Spaghetti factory (despite having one conveniently located in gastown), so i was excited to give it a shot.
The food came out lukewarm and reminded me of my bachelor days where most nights i would cook up some sort of pasta with chorizo and canned tomato sauce (i made this because it was basically the only thing i could make and because it was a super cheap meal).
So I won't be going back to OSF, because in order to get three stars from me a restaurant has to give me at least the desire to go back.
If I'm forced to go to a giant chain Italian restaurant take me to Olive Garden. -

Great food, great prices. Kids menu is great, grown up food too.
Unlike some pasta places, the prices are reasonable. We go here for lunch or dinner whenever possible.
Only complaint is that the Caesar salad is not worth the price. Spaghetti and meatballs is simply excellent.
