]]> The Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown has been one of my favorite haunts for many years. While I served in the Navy, we would berth down near Gastown, and we would have to make one of our famous Old Spaghetti Factory stops.

A little history on the Factory goes as follows; “In March 1970 the Old Spaghetti Factory opened in the Gastown district of Vancouver. The concept was a very simple one; take and old warehouse in a historic part of town and fill it with antiques and artifacts, provide the finest pasta and superb service, to make an extremely unique dining experience.”

Spaghetti FactoryThe Factory’s Hours of Operation are:
Mon – Thurs 11:00 am – 10:00 pm
Fri & Sat 11:00 am – 11:00 pm
Sun 11:00 am – 9:00 pm

For more information be sure to visit The Old Spaghetti Factory Web Site
