Pasta Factory - Penticton, British Columbia

Solid place all around. The server was working her butt off but the food was slow. Understaffed I guess like several other comments. The food was actually pretty decent. It’s a good family spot if your kids are chill.

Seems like a rather popular place, so figured we'd give it a try. First time wasn't so great. The place was busy and seemed to be understaffed. Took so long to get my bill that I was seriously considering just leaving. The pasta tastes similar to the typical cheap stuff ... that used to be offered at Pizza 222. Server was friendly but absent. We decided to give it another chance during their May Seafood Extravaganza (or something like that). Server was quick and friendly, but for some reason we were seated in the delivery driver section amongst all the antique milkshake machines.......which are interesting I guess. The normally yummy crunchy bits of the romaine lettuce in our ceasar salads were browning. The seafood platter was large but nearly everything tasted like muscles. The muscles themselves were dry as ___, and the corn?? Let's just say that it was like eating creamed corn on the cob. If you are looking for a low-key, unpretentious, dimly lit restaurant to choke back some mediocre food and a bottle of cheap wine without breaking the bank, this place will do just fine. But if you are trying to impress your clients or perhaps a first date, and you're expecting high quality cuisine, I urge you to reconsider. Read more

Nice place to go have a big bowl of pasta after walking along the lake. Wish it was open a little later, and that the prices reflected what you got was a little better.

My wife and I had the Crab and Spinach Lasagna. It was dry and humdrum. It used to be bubbly and creamy with a cheesy crust - delightful. The garlic toast was just as plain. It also used to be way more exciting, roughly cut on the bias with a ... garlic butter and a sprinkling of parsley . . . . . what's happening to this place? Read more

I was there for my birthday and the server said I could take the free spaghetti and meatballs home if I wanted to. What a great idea because I ordered the half rack of ribs, chorizo sausage and a chicken breast basted in BBQ sauce with Caesar salad. Amazing!
